Second Games: Louisville vs. Tennessee and UCLA vs. W. Kentucky

10:05PM: Bruce Pearl is sticking with J.P. Prince at the point to start the game.  The point guard play (both who and what) will be interesting to track for the Vols.

10:19PM: Louisville is playing great defense at the start here.  Tennessee can’t get a good look at all.

10:29PM: It’s a butt-whooping so far.  Might be time for Bruce to try a new point guard! 24-11 Louisville.

10:47PM: Wow.  This is just chaos.  Both teams are just pushing the pace relentlessly, and they’re not doing a good job of it.  A game between these two teams could be ridiculously entertaining and awesome, or it could be what it’s been so far.  It’s just been a mess.  Tennessee came back to cut the lead to 5, but just coughed it up with two bad turnovers.  31-23 Louisville.

10:48 PM: Apparently Louisville has 14 TURNOVERS!?  With 3 minutes to play in the half.  And they’re LEADING BY 10! That pretty much says it all.

11:04 PM: UCLA is crushing W. Kentucky.  I’m gonna check out the Daily Show for a few minutes.

11:34PM: I’m not sure who it was, but one of the Tennessee players just decided to take on four defenders by himself on an always effective 1-on-4 break.  Tennessee needs to start playing with some sort of discipline if they want to win this game.

12:12AM: In a shocking turn of events, W. Kentucky has come back from way down and are down 4 to UCLA with 6 minutes to play.  How can you beat March Madness?

12:30AM: It looks like UCLA will hold on for the win here, up 6 and going to the line with 1:25 to play.  I’m ready for bed.  I’ll give this night a solid 7.5 out of 10 for entertainment value.
