We just watched an Instant Classic

[TheyCallMeAzul]

Kentucky & Wichita St. was the best game of the tournament. By far. The number of plays that made me say . Big shot after big shot.

Cleanthony Early's dunk

Julius Randle's And-1 . I don't generally re-watch games but this was one that I'll reminisce on for a while. I'm glad I got to witness every second of it

Spoiler

Congrats to Kentucky . They've proven me wrong. They 100% EARNED that W. Wichita St. was absolutely a force to be reckoned with

Especially when you parlay the over 133 and kentucky ml @ +190

Wichita state got screwed.

A number 1 seed shouldn't have to play a team as talented as Kentucky util ATLEAST the sweet 16.

If they would have one this one they would havehad to play the champs in the sweet 16.

That's a gauntlet.

Agreed. It was a brutal bracket but I sort of think it was loaded intentionally. Committee said "If you wanna go down as undefeated, earn it". Maybe a bit unfair, but I understand

GREAT game. Aint the biggest college basketball fan but I loved every minute of that

 

[SoulController]

they schemed on WSU and it worked, awesome game tho hats off to Harrison he played like a boss. Randle is a steady force inside

early game was good too, #33 on Stanford looked great

2nd half refs were all over Kentucky's nuts Wichita St got robbed.

Commitee just wanted storylines. Louisville v Manhattan, Pitino's protege, storyline there. Wichita State wins, rematch with the team that knocked them out of the tourny last year, if KY wins it's another battle of the bluegrass. Also the whole 1 and done vs experienced, KY who people thought were gonna go 40-0 against a team that actually was undefeated. That shyt was totally intentional and it wasn't about them wanting Wichita State to prove themselves. We just witnessed a championship caliber game in the round of 32.

Great game

I feel as though this UL/UK matchup mite be happening a bit early, but they probably didn't expect us to go much further and this would be their best shot at meeting them. Makes sense.

Lowkey Refs ruined the game. When WSU was up 6, 53-59 refs started with the touch calls... still a great game but I think the better team didn't win.

when will people learn getting to the freethrow line is one of the biggest strengths of this team. There is a reason we shoot more freethrows than any other team, we're incredibly hard to keep out of the lane and off the glass.
