NCAA Sweet 16 (12) Cornell vs (1) Kentucky

• Non

  

  what a story Foot
  
  he wasn't recruited by a Division I school
  
  his mom got a job at the Cornell hospital, I believe, and he ended up going to school there, walking on and has become a quality big man

  Cornell has to be happy that Kentucky is jacking up 3s instead of actually using their huge athletic advantage and going to the hoop.
• Non

  

  not sure Orton needed to do that
  
  he just blocked him cleanly and had that in Foot's head
• Azubuike24

  

  Cornell is getting away with a lot.
  
  UK isn't rebounding offensively like they can.
• Non

  

  This feels like a national championship game atmosphere from about 25 years ago.
  
  Now it wouldn't be because the stadiums are always huge football stadiums, but like when they were sometimes just normal basketball arenas.

  Yeah, Kentucky is going to start realizing that they can just dominate by driving, and then it'll be game over.
• Non

  

  Yeah good call. Kentucky could really play above the rim and take over.
  
  They have some but are tentative with that approach.
  
  Cornell started off looking hungry but has since backed off.
• Non

  

  Overall, a back off kind of pace over the past 3-4 minutes.
• Azubuike24

  

  Too much Stevenson and Harris. Those guys aren't good.
• Non

  

  Lanky Foot has no chance against the power of Cousins.
• Non

  

  Kentucky running and slamming
  
  20-14
  
  uh oh
• Non

  

  danger zone for the Big Red
  
  Kentucky being young may have been showing too much respect
  
  now they're recognizing the openings
• Mulva

  

  Orton goaltends a lot. Seems like he's had at least one in every Kentucky game I've seen.
  
  That might have been clean though.

  Kentucky is too big, too strong, too fast, and too good for Cornell.
  
  Blowout city is right around the corner.
• Non

  

  25-16
  
  as Wall finishes with a slam
• Non

  

  looks like it could get real ugly
  
  Cornell not looking real good after showing some inspired play early on
• Non

  

  Orton can play.
  
  Cousins is obviously a great player, making Orton a sub, but he usually comes in and defends well and can score a bucket or two.
• Non

  

  Cousins has some injury concerns.
  
  Need him in there, maybe not today, but Saturday.
• Azubuike24

  

  Daniel isn't a projected lottery pick for nothing
  
  I just hope he's around another year or 2. Bledsoe too.
• Non

  

  wow
  
  30-16
  
  putting it on em now
• Mulva

  

  In the classic words of brain warp:
  
  "This game... is finished."
• Non

  

  it was a Cornell team that crushed Temple and Wisconsin and came in confident
  
  midway through the first half you could see the attitude switch and it was like "man, these guys are good" and they haven't carried themselves the same
• Non

  

  32-16 Kentucky
  
  at the half
• ironman02

  30-6 run by UK. Wow.

  In a tourney of shocking upsets, it's good to see that there's still a place in America for a good, old fashioned beating.
