UK up 2 at the under 12.  UK pretty much getting all of their points on layups and dunks…..can’t hit a jumper.  Hit their first three 27 minutes in.

Note for when IU plays Notre Dame…ND’s guards tend to back off of shooters and double quickly.

Is UK actually playing at Notre Dame, or is it being played at whatever neutral court nearest to South Bend was available? 

In South Bend. Calipari is a hypocrite clearly.

It would be pretty awesome if Notre Dame won it with a 3 at the buzzer. Calipari would probably never play in this state again. 

[RaceToTheTop 26,179]

Notre Dame wins.  Bucket at 12 seconds left put them up 2.  Driving layup by UK no good and they don't foul, ND dunk at the buzzer.

Honestly, it was a low quality game.  ND didn't do anything special -- more about what UK didn't do.  ND gave them the perimeter and UK couldn't hit.  ND able to keep rebounding even by having their guards sag and crash along with the bigs. 

Offensively, ND scored 66 mostly when UK lost their man defensively.  Really poor effort by UK.

Calipari had court rushed on him so can't come back to Notre Dame but it wasn't a buzzer beater:). Makes Irish a bit more challenging but also a better win if IU gets it. Need to avoid the 2-19 from three UK just pulled. That was main reason they lost.

Down goes ky and ill

Re: Syracuse vs Georgetown earlier, Aminu would have been an amazing addition on the wing. We’re lacking that athleticism and playmaking there.

Yup. If IU can just go 7-19 rather than 2-19 from three they have a really good chance.

Hit perimeter shots and ND can't cheat off the three point line like they did.  Also allowed ND to win the board battle as they packed it in.  UK was averaging +19 rebounds coming in and lost the board battle by 6.

Especially from about 8 to 2 minutes with the game in the balance.

Gotta live pUKe tears.  Imagine how bad that fanbase would be if they had to endure our last 20 years.

I long for the day of IU basketball when there is much more to be excited about than seeing rivals lose.

I’m a petty bastard, I’ll take my joy wherever I can

I loathe Kentucky with a passion, no matter how good or bad IU is.

Well in terms of the Big Ten Minnesota is far better than anyone imagined and just knocked off Michigan. Nebraska and Penn State look like the only truly terrible teams, but some of the squads who were thought to be better are not so good (Michigan, Maryland, Rutgers). Looks like another year in Big Ten where anyone can beat anyone else and it will be really tight 1-12 minus the Cornhsukers and Nittany Lions.

Minnesota doing to UM what we should have been able to do to UW.

I'd be willing to bet our starting 5 was all rated higher than Minnesota's starting 5, and UM's > Wisconsin's.

The transitive property is worthless for the most part, but fun to play with.

[Hovadipo 56,530]

Minnesota just doesn’t suck and I’m not sure how.  75-65 win at Michigan tonight.
