**ComfortEagle** · 03-19-2009, 12:01 AM

The game will be held Monday March 23rd at 7 PM on ESPN.

Who wins?

**thetribe** · 03-19-2009, 12:04 AM

All I know is that the Wildcats better. I thought we were going to end up getting beat last night when we should have won by 30, in the first round, of the NIT tourney, after not having to play outside of the NCAA in what? 17 years? I was SO upset. If we don't take this whole tournament I will be truly embarassed.

I haven't seen Creighton play much, but I think if we have another good day and we have good balanced scorings then I know we can do it.

**TATE_64** · 03-19-2009, 12:05 AM

Hope the Cats can pull it off...

**Stardust** · 03-19-2009, 12:06 AM

It will be tough in Creighton's gym, but I'm taking the Cats by 5

**ComfortEagle** · 03-19-2009, 12:08 AM

Creighton started VERY slow tonight. If the Cats can put the nail in the coffin (unlike last night) then they can take this game by 15 or 20.

But I think this is more realistic:

UK - 73
Creighton - 67

Creighton will be ready for this game and as always Kentucky will get their opponents best shot. It will be a tough environment and Kentucky is probably the biggest name school to ever travel to Omaha. Creighton is a drive and kick for trey team, the kind that has given UK fits this year. Kentucky's D turns it up in the latter parts of the game and the Cats survive to play another day!!! Go CATS!!

Have not been able to put the nail in the coffin all year.

I noticed they shot 5-22 from behind the arc, so hopefully they'll continue the poor shooting. Kentucky has no reason to lose this one unless they forget to play defense like they did for part of the game against UNLV. UK by 12.

***Spud6*** · 03-19-2009, 12:20 AM

Kentucky by 7.

Creighton will be pumped for this. This is the biggest game and the biggest caliber team they have probably ever played. And its at there place, so Kentucky, you better come ready.

If that's so, Creighton only got 15 points off of three-pointers against BGSU.

Sounds like it will depend on which Creighton team shows up...the one that can shoot the three or the one that didn't tonight.

Creighton has been in the NCAA tournament plenty of times, why would this be the biggest caliber team they've ever played.

**cougarpride08** · 03-19-2009, 01:35 PM

UK by 5!

Crazy Horse · 03-19-2009, 02:02 PM

If UK does not play as a team then they won't stand a chance. I am picking Creighton by 10 but I hope the CATS prove me wrong.

~~NEWARKCATHOLICFAN~~ · 03-19-2009, 05:24 PM

Creighton

j-strong · 03-19-2009, 10:50 PM

The Wildcats are the better team but can they show up and play is the question

fanatic11 · 03-20-2009, 12:20 AM

DukeFan4life · 03-20-2009, 07:33 AM

if Patterson and Stevenson play aggressive like they did against UNLV I think uk will be alright against Creighton they all just need to work together as a team and play smart force turnovers and take smart lookin shots

**BelfryPride** · 03-20-2009, 12:19 PM

Kentucky by 9

The winner travels to South Bend,IN to take on the Irish...

That's what I'm thinking, I have a bad feeling that after a poor shooting night against Bowling Green Creighton will shoot the lights out against the Cats.

We cannot let them have that may 3-point shot attempts.

If Creighton wins, they host Notre Dame.
