Very nervous that WKU is going to play out of their mind motivated by the death of Alyssa who played her heart out against Kentucky in 2017. Scary match up when you factor that in. Really like both teams though this keeps happening to me this tournament ugh

Really like both teams though this keeps happening to me this tournament ugh Even that factor doesn’t make this match scary IMO. It’s very difficult to overcome the fact your opponent has way better talent pretty much everywhere, even when passionately motivated. I have no doubt WKU will play hard and not be intimidated, but this hills way to steep.

Briggs and Matthews are real good and could push WKU to a win in a set or two, but I think Kentucky’s offensive firepower and balance will ultimately get them the win

Would that be somehow wrong?

If Kentucky loses to WKU, I think it is perfectly fair to say they did not live up to the hype. That’s not to put down WKU, who are quite good.

If Kentucky loses to WKU, I think it is perfectly fair to say they did not live up to the hype. That’s not to put down WKU, who are quite good. I don't buy the fact that a team is overrated for a single loss. And I think WKU is underrated, same for BYU. I don't think that means Wisconsin or Kentucky are overrated for a loss. Living up to the 'hype' is something different. Any top 4 seed doesn't 'live up to the hype'' for not making the Final Four. Doesn't mean they're overrated for losing. If Utah beat Stanford last year, didn't mean Stanford was overrated for losing to an unseeded team.

Why haven’t I heard of Lauren Matthews before? This young lady can ball! One of those players who didn’t have all the glory and high rankings coming out of high school and here she is, in the sweet 16. Dreams do come true! Same with Taylor Trammell from Purdue!

Pulling hard for Western to knock the $EC back down into it's proper place.
Stay in your lane! (football, basketball, baseball, softball)
