the Kentucky streak: who can/will end it?
Posted on 3/4/15 at 2:38 am
Posted on 3/4/15 at 2:38 am
its close to the conference tournaments to start (next week I think right?) and Kentucky is still on its magic run for perfection, only 10 games left.
who do you think can end the streak? of course I like LSU's chances if we met again as I think we match up well with them but with no more true road environments I think it might become harder to do as all of their close games have been on the road (besides ole miss) which the home team fed off of the environment to almost pull off the upset.
possible match ups to watch out for: LSU, Georgia, Virginia, Duke (kinda skeptical about this one), Wisconsin, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Louisville, Iowa State.
whatcha got?

some team will do it. they will get those couple of tos and rebounds and hit a couple threes that make the difference...

They won't lose. I see them flipping the on switch in the postseason and being unstoppable in the tourney.

The NBA draft has the best chance of stopping Kentucky.

Can? A bunch of teams. They've been pushed to the limit a few times this year by mediocre teams. The right team on the right night could beat them in the craziness of tourney.
Will? No one. First time since Indiana in '76.

Wisconsin is Kentuckys worst match up imo

Whoever they play in the 1st round of the tournament

They may lose in the SEC tourney, but I doubt it

Kentucky would abuse Wisconsin's defense IMO.
I think the teams that would give them a solid game are:
-Arizona
-Wichita St
-Utah
-UNC (if they had a pure shooter they might be my best bet, tons of height and athletic length)

They've already played...
If a team is going to beat them it will have to be a team willing to slow the game down and make it ugly as hell.
Trying to run with Kentucky has been a terrible idea so far this year. They have too much depth and take care of the ball too well.

Would love for the committee to put Wichita in the same bracket with them, give them a chance to return the favor of UK ruining their perfect season a year ago.

Wichita State was never going to have a perfect season, though. Let's be honest.

This, which is why I say Wisconsin.
Duke doesn't have the depth. If it came down to attrition UK would win rather easily.

The big worry I would I have as someone wanting to see this would be that WCS seems like the perfect guy to try to neutralize Kaminsky.
Hell they held him to 8 points in the Final Four last season without Willie.

As a UVA fan, we'd have a chance, but UK may just be too talented. Their size and athleticism in the post is ridiculous. Brogdon, Perrantes, Anderson (assuming he's back and healthy), and even Nolte would have to light it up from beyond the arc.
Gill and Atkins, as good as they are, would have to have monster games to compete inside. Though he's had his moments this year, the thought of Tobey going against the UK frontline is terrifying.

As said before, a lot of teams can. Anyone with a go to scorer who can get hot can beat any team. Syracuse with Melo rode him all the way to a title. I'm not saying Cuse had to go through any teams as good as this years Kentucky, but you can win a game if you get hot.
A lot of experts have said Nova has the team to give them problems, as they have a ton of experience in a lot of bigger games and are Jrs/Srs.

I'd like this if Trae Jackson was healthy. He was said to be on track to return by the end of the regular season, but Bo recently said he may miss the B1G Tournament. Wisconsin is incredibly thin without him. It's almost comical how little faith Bo has in his bench right now. They need Trae... bad.
I can't say with confidence that Wisconsin would beat Kentucky. I'm not even sure how they'll fare in the Tournament with such a thin bench. Can't expect Trae to immediately jump back into the lineup and give Wisconsin 20+ minutes.
ETA: that all being said, Wisconsin has a very, very good starting five.
