Connecticut 84 - (3)Villanova 75
#1
Connecticut 84, Villanova 75, Final
#2
The Big East teams just keep beating each other up. Anyone can beat anyone else on any given night. Big East basketball is like SEC football for the past few years.

Does this 9 point win for UConn help solidfy Kentucky as the best team in the nation?

Normally that would be a good argument, but since UCONN lost to Cincinnati and Louisville that kinda cancels the 9 point win over Villanova. :biggrin:

Just kidding StarDust and theVILLE.

First of all Nova would never match up with UK. They have no post play. UK would eat them alive inside out.. Kansas on the other hand different story. There's a great fields of teams, then there's an elite field of teams. Nova, Purdue, Duke, Gorgetown. Then there are teams will all around talent, that can match up come march, and show all these other teams weakness outside of conference play, they are gonna see stuff they aren't use too, because come march they aren't playing a team you play 1 or 2 a year. Teams like Kansas, Kentucky, Cuse, Kstate, Ohio state have inside out talent high levels of guard play, with so much athleticism i'd be scared!
I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok -Shaquille O'Neal

Great point. I think that Nova got knocked in the mouth but didnt know to respond when the three ball was not falling. I have thought all along that UConn is one of these teams that can absolutely beat anyone (with that kind of talent) but plays down to the competition this year. Uconn may have rounded a corner but they need to show some consistent play to show the committee that they should be in the field.
#11
With the return of their head coach U Conn may finish strong this season.
#12
Good win for the Huskies and good to see Coach Calhoun back on the sidelines. Beating the #3 team in the country has to count for something. A few more quality wins and some consistency may put them back in the tournament.

Lol..im first to tell you that louisville isnt the best team this season or among the top 5! However that doesnt mean that they cant beat the top team in the nation..Is louisville bad team...Nope i still think theyhave the talent to be a top 15-25 team..there just not playing great at the same time...Cincy is a long shot from the best team this season too..they have one of the best freshies in lance stephenson tho and alot of talent and can upset anyone on any giving night!

I dont think Nova would match up with UK either, but they have something UK doesnt, a 7 year senior guard lol..Reynolds has outlasted three UK coaches during his time at Nova, lol..

lol..pretty funny..I cant deny that you guys have the talent to get there...its the expierence and the Cockiness that makes me think they cant:wink:..They have the guard play to do it (just very young) they have one of the better big men in the nation in Cousins ( just his attitude that i hate) Patterson another lottery pick andmuch improved shooter, they have a weak spot at the SF position unless miller has his 1 game of the year! But the bench play and the depth is where they beat there teams! Orton, ( who i think if he stayed 4 years he could reset shot block records)Liggins who has great desire and hustle to get the ball...I mean Uk has 3 top 10 PG's coming out of HS. and throw couisn, patterson, orton, miller, dodson in the mix...
However i like Kansas as well..Say they are overrated but i don think so...they have cole aldrich ( great post ) Sherron Collins, Even with wall at the PG, and Henry is the X-FACTOR if these to teams played...That is where KU you could cause problems for UK..NO he isnt the best player on KU but he is a good player at UK's only weak position!

You make a good point there. Don't forget the consistently improving Morris as well.
