Still not overly impressed by Florida, only winning matters right now.

How can you not be impressed with that swarming, oppressive defense?

They won today shooting a lot below their usual level—mostly because the defended hella well, especially compared to the previous game.

Of course, Wilbekin was huge, too.

They haven't looked good yet in either game they played. All I am saying is that they haven't looked great, but it doesn't matter how you win right now. That being said their region is weak enough that they cruise to the final four.

Congrats on getting past Manhattan the other night. Also congrats on being awarded a sweet 16 match up with Kentucky so they can pump that story line next week.

Manhattan was a horrible match-up for us because of Massiello...as for the Sweet 16, we are a different team now than when we played Kentucky the first time, I hope Wichita wins because I don't feel like listening to the media all week.

So if the refs called the game straight up we aren't talking about this now because Manahttan wins on Thursday.

Maybe, also given the new rules, the refs are in bad position.

Louisville is an aggressive team that attacks the rim, when you do that, the refs will give you calls.

Manhattan commits like the 4th most fouls in the nation.........this isn't uncommon.

Perhaps. You have to admit the officiating has been horse crap all tourney long. Gonzaga and Oklahoma State was ridiculous. It's just baffling how games are called completely different when the same officials are out there doing multiple games.
 
SEC being undefeated in the tourney doesn't mean squat about the conference. Florida is good, no doubting that, but the other wins aren't all that impressive. Kentucky (2nd best in SEC) beat the 7th best BIG 12 team and Tennessee (3rd in SEC) defeated the 6th best BIG 10 team and UMASS (A10 was massively overrated this year. 6 bid league, with just 2 wins in the first round and likely none left heading into the sweet 16)
 
Didn't say they would lose. SLU is a great match-up for them. As soon as they go up against a team with anything inside (and they will next week), they're done.

You think UK would beat UL again if they played?
