Probably would not shoot 80% against UK, but impressive start nevertheless.

Pretty boring game so far, not holding my attention...hope WSU makes it interesting.

Is this the same team that played Kansas? I know Kansas was wildly overrated, but damn, these seem like imposters.

Notre Dame has to cool off here, but it will be interesting to see if that happens before or after they put so much distance between themselves and Wichita that it doesn't matter.

Neither of these teams play any defense. I'm not looking ahead, but UK should score 80+ 2nite and against either of these teams if UK wins tonight (I think we will, but do not want to jinx our team by acting like it is a done deal lol).

I don't think the defense is as bad as people think. You're just seeing 2 teams that don't have the big, physically gifted type of players who can consistently defend the paint. It's why so much of basketball recruiting is just based on raw athletic ability, and why you see so many teams that seemingly have no offensive skill. These 2 teams are skilled enough to overcome that most of the time, but you notice it on the defensive end.

Against UK? The end result isn't likely to be good.

WSU has bricked a ton of open layups...if not it would be tied or they'd even be in the lead

True, but MJ...ND has a pathetic D and WSU is getting to the rim at will.

Van Vleet is allowed to take 3 steps almost every time he drives to the basket. Why is walking only called on the head fake foot shuffle?

They made their first 3 three pointers, but then missed them all the rest of the first half. 3-11, 27.3% Neither team is really shooting very well. Game of streaks...

Notre Dame is going to be a beast of a team to beat, they are a tough out for anyone, hope like hell WS beats them, though don't see it happening.

I'm not so sure about that...they have no size and play no D. They are lucky WSU has bricked all their 3's and missed wide open layups.

WS has no inside presence unlike UK.

I wish we were playing WSU and ND were playing WVU. ND got a gift, from what I can see.

ND is scary good at offense. Great passing and great shooters. Not much defense but they can out score you.

Was rooting for State but this is turning into a rout

ND blowing WSU out.

UK would need to just go inside, inside, inside. ND has nothing inside, but they force that match-up to be irrelevant with the way they play.

If UK gets by WVU, the speed of Jackson and Grant worry me. Those guys don't get checked easily and they have 3 shooters to kick it too.

Just think Northeastern and Butler each had the ball at the end with a chance to knock off ND and now ND is well on their way to the Elite 8. That's March Madness for ya just like how Kentucky won 4 straight nail biters last year.

But, ND does score on the inside pretty well. We sometimes give up too many bunnies.

Or they can have another Butler type game and miss everything inside.
