I think we should be rooting for Kentucky

Post by Ducks10 »

I think their inexperience and lack of huge size would be better for us than UNC. UNC has some big boys and good depth.

Obviously I am loving this right now, just looking forward some.

I agree. The way we played tonight we van beat anyone in the country but UNCs bigs scare me and might take Bell out of the game. UK has outstanding guard play but I would rather play them.

Both are good but beatable! Kansas was the hardest team left on schedule. Oregon just needs to keep that underdog chip.

Oh yeah we could definitely beat UNC. If we can beat KU in KC, we can beat anybody.

I just think UNC's length and size would give us trouble. Kentucky seems pretty similar to Kansas. And they are inexperienced, big plus for us. Fox is amazing, but not as good as Mason.

According to this CBS Sports article, they think UNC would be a more favorable matchup than Kentucky, but I actually think they're probably about even.

If they play like they did today it won't matter who they play, they'll be advancing.

Got to beat the man, to be the man. Bring on whoever it is, this team won't be scared or backdown.

Exactly!! NOT playing the guessing match up game. Its the final 4, bring it on, whoever it is. Like Tyler said, bunch of dogs on this team! Being in Phoenix next week, hopefully we'll have a BIG DUCK crowd in attendance. :}

I hear you, but I'm all for the path of least resistance. If we could have hit a field goal against Stanford in 2012 we'd have a national championship because we would have played arguably the weakest team in Notre Dame since the football championship started. Instead, Bama got in and we wiped the floor with K State.

I'm not sure UK is any easier that UNC. I think people here are way underselling out front court guys, and way under selling UK guards.

I think we're the team nobody wants to play. Our defense is dominant and we've got the most efficient scorer in the tournament and our best guy has still yet to blow up. Our pgs have yet to stroke it from outside and for Benson, it's homecoming. Ennis showed some good flashes offensively and were peaking at the right time.

Go Ducks

Yeah if we play like we did last night and one of these teams plays like they are right now, we'll win.

But can't count on that. Good game though. Competitive.

I'm more concerned about the officials. You know they want a blue blood in the finals.
