The 1 team I didn't want to play in the 2nd round was Wofford. I really thought this team could make a run to the Elite 8 this year.

Without PJ our chances certainly go down if they are hitting their 3's like they are tonight.

Wichita State all over again 2017 just hope we can come out with the win like we did in that tough game.

I been telling you guys since the bracket came out but it fell on mostly deaf ears the same way people here didn't think Wichita State would challenge us in 2017.

It will be interesting to see us play defense against a team who we know going in does nothing but shoot 3s.

Gotta defend on the ball and rebound, period.

You make their guard have to guard. They shouldn’t be able to guard our guards. Post up Herro and Johnson up if you want. We have huge advantage, should take it, but we won’t play like that.

Same. I won’t go back and see who it was that acted like I was crazy....but I got a lot of push back for pointing out Wofford was the most under seeded team in the tournament and was 19th overall and 13th offensively in Kenpom.

Really? You think the NCAA cheated us by pitting us against a little mid-major Southern Conf team in the second round? LOL

What happened to our fanbase? Taken over by pajama boys?

Most of these same people beat their chests about UK basketball during the regular season and then wet themselves over mid major's every tourney.

Pretty sure the main reason is due to pj not playing. If we were full strength I wouldn’t be worried. But we aren’t so I am.

Ranked 13th and 19th in Kenpom and offensive efficiency. And are a top 20 team in rankings. You think that's a 7 seed ?
And 32 in Sagarin, and beat one power 5 school in 5 tries.

They were seeded correctly. Meaning they're pretty good, but not like the top-tier of the SEC, and not like the best OOC teams UK played. More like Florida or Louisville, at best.

Will Wofford throw up a zone against us? If they scout us, they’ll know we struggle a little bit against a good zone. If so, Quickley better get his 3-ball shot working.

damn good! Three point shooters all over the court and a decent big man too. Dudes don’t need any daylight to stroke it.

Will be a guards game Saturday if they hold this lead!
Yeah, the problem is see is that Seton Hall did everything they could to be right on those 3 point shooters and they still got shots off and made them.

All of Wofford's losses came against top 20 defenses on KenPom. UK will be the best they have faced this season.

If Wofford hits 13 threes and makes 19/23 FT it’s not going to matter what they are ranked or who they beat before, they will beat UK as well.

I have concerns with Wofford and the style they play. They can create leads and erase leads in a blink.

I read on Twitter last night that Wofford scored 9 or more points in less than a minute 18 times this season.

LOL, you've been telling us about Wofford and it fell on deaf ears??? What the heck are we supposed to do about it?

First, tomorrow'' game will be a guard's game.cwe have way too much size for Wofford even without PJ. It's all about guarding the three point line. Cal will pressure the ball all the way down the court to make Wofford work for every pass they make.

Reid Travis, Montgomery, Keldon and Richards will own the paint.

Expect Wofford to hit threes, they're the best in the country at that, but I don't know what us fans are going yo do about it.

I wouldn’t say cheated, but the other 2 seeds aren’t going to face a ranked 7 seed like UK will (and also did in 2017).

What’s their defensive efficiency? They’ve done it against much softer competition.

They are good and can beat us, but if we can’t beat them with five + 5 Star caliber guys, we never deserved to be considered a title contender in the first place.

UK SHOULD also get to shoot a ton of 1's. SHOULD. They'll dominate the paint, and that, along with athleticism should draw a bunch of fouls.
