Maryland or W. Virginia

Who are you pulling for/want the Cats to face?

Maryland has two tremendous guards who are the type that have given UK a lot of trouble. WVU is deep, physical (lead the country in fouls, and also has a great guard. Also, Huggins seems to do quite well against Cal.

I think WVU would be a better matchup but both would posing a challenging game.

Have not seen either team play.....heard West Virginia does not play much defense

I don't care who wins. It'll be a tough game regardless. However no one scares me in this tournament.

Hard to say. I think the UC game would be very helpful for playing West Va. But Maryland has little to no size so they should have a big advantage there also.

I probably lean toward West Virginia because they'll try to jump and trap us and I think we'll just get dunks.

It's very close though. WVU has the more skilled big man and Maryland has better guards. Pretty similar teams. Even in the Pomeroy ratings they're very close.

Duke up 26-13...this is pathetic.

I second that.

I try not to pull for one or the other due to sometimes you get what you wish for ala ARKANSAS. lol

Just want our guys healthy and motivated to play hard for 40 minutes. Oh and hope Booker finds his shot was in Cleveland all along.

After seeing some of the other teams in the tourney, I'm on board with the thought the only team that can beat Kentucky is Kentucky. This squad has too much going for it....and this is the first time in a long long long time I can say there is really no one in the tourney they should NOT beat.

This is one of the weakest fields for the Big Dance that I can ever remember. None of the traditional powers such as U of L, UCLA, UNC, Kansas or Duke are as tough as they usually are.

Not really true. UCLA hasn't been tough for years but is still in the Sweet Sixteen. Carolina is marginally better than they've been recently. Duke is better. Kansas was down but they also got gapped by an NCAA investigation of one of their main players.

The field is tougher than it has been the last couple of years but overall about the same as it generally is. One extraordinary team in Kentucky and three or four other very solid teams--not much of a difference in the norm.

[JFCats22]

I think the field is about the same as it always is. A few elite teams and some surprises.

Maryland.

I don't like Huggins and I want nothing to do with his teams. I am sick to death of grinder foul-ball.

[Roper92391]

I'm not sure who I'd rather face. Guess I'll just sit back and take whatever is given to Kentucky. Because I think we can beat both. The harder question will/would be: Notre Dame or Wichita State? Notre Dame has the offense, but would rather not give Wichita State the ammunition of trying to end Kentucky's perfect season as Kentucky ended theirs last year.

I want Utah. Oh sorry that's in the overall number one seeds bracket.
