This one was headed in by senior midfielder Marcel Meinzer. Ten minutes gone, we lead at The Bell! The Wildcats absolutely dominated the first half. They got two very good looks in the 28th minute, but both were blocked by back-to-back impressive efforts from Santa Clara goalie Ruben Stuiver.
Santa Clara got a solid chance in the 65th minute after a foul right outside the Kentucky box led to a promising free kick for the Broncos. But the shot was deflected by the Kentucky wall. Santa Clara was able to find more chances in the second half, but could never convert. They ended the match with zero shots on goal. One week later, we've lost Tyler Herro. After five former Kentucky Wildcats made the cut seven days ago, only four found their names on the ballot This weekend, Washington and his Kentucky teammates are back home following a trip to Nashville where the Wildcats earned their first road win of the season Coming off the program's second Citrus Bowl victory in four years, Kentucky Football will look to use that for some added recruiting momentum heading into the weekend.
Kentucky won and showed what it was capable of, while Louisville was dealing with internal strife as Chane Behanan was about to be booted from the team. On paper, Kentucky possesses more talent and is a bad matchup for the Cardinals when playing at an optimal level. The Wildcats have a more physical backcourt and more length in the frontcourt. Their regular season matchup confirms this.
Write about this : Rick Pitino is two wins away from reaching his third consecutive Final Four. Not that : Rick Pitino used to be the coach of Kentucky. It feels as though even the national media is over the fact that Pitino was once a really successful coach in Lexington.
He's now knee-deep in creating his legacy at Louisville, with a third consecutive Final Four appearance within reach. Write about this : John Calipari is looking to reach his third Final Four in four years. Not that : John Calipari only recruits one-and-done players. Kentucky was a Fred VanVleet buzzer-beating three from being chastised that the one-and-done philosophy employed by its head coach didn't work.
But that shot didn't go in, so instead nothing about the system needs to change, and the story about how Calipari is in the tournament as coach of Kentucky prevailed. BBN has the right coach, and his approach to recruiting works. You can't really argue with that now, and you certainly won't be able to if Calipari gets to Dallas.
Write about this : The Harrisons are playing their best basketball at Kentucky. Not that : The Harrisons are twins! I don't even know which one was born first, and I don't even care. That isn't important right now. What is important is both players have been playing great basketball at the most crucial time of the season.
Cuonzo Martin, too. The Tennessee coach dealt with scrutiny all season, too. It was a big step for the Vols and a bigger step for Martin. They ran through Iowa, UMass and Mercer by an average margin of victory of Jarnell Stokes Meanwhile, Michigan is a difficult team to handle.
They can hit 3-pointers and run the floor. But Tennessee is built for this matchup. And Jeronne Maymon and Stokes will be a handful for the undersized Wolverines inside. Tennessee, meet the Elite Eight. Dayton-Stanford will be the best game of the weekend. But I think Dayton and Stanford will actually be the best game of the Sweet The Flyers and Cardinal gave us some of the best action in the opening weekend.
The Flyers earned wins in a pair of dramatic games against Ohio State and Syracuse. Stanford outplayed New Mexico and held off Kansas down the stretch to secure a win over the Jayhawks.
There will be fireworks in this matchup between a pair of squads that were essentially afterthoughts entering Selection Sunday. The Cyclones and Huskies will battle this weekend in a must-see matchup. DeAndre Kane vs. Shabazz Napier is the most popcorn-worthy individual matchup of the Sweet Iowa State will advance to the Elite Eight because of what Long, a sophomore from Canada, gives it against the Huskies. With Georges Niang out for the season, the Cyclones need someone to step up.
Long is up for the job. Iowa State will win because Long will make the difference. UCLA will push Florida to the brink. The Bruins are a unique team. Kyle Anderson is a 6-foot-9 point guard.
