I just watched the Cornell/Wisconsin game. Cornell is very impressive.
I know we have been hearing about their defense but I think their offense is much more impressive. They are deep and full of seniors. Their big guy is pretty good. Wittman is a pro and Dale is a very good point guard. They got any shot they wanted on every possession down the floor. They all handle the ball well and they can really, really shoot. Especially Wittman. They have some beefy guys inside.
I don't understand what was wrong with Wisconsin. I mean they were within one game of the league title in the Big 10 and they have a good reputation as a defensive team but Cornell made them look like a JV team. They just played lazy man to man defense the whole game. Cornell guys were running and cutting all over the place and the Badger guarding him would just be trailing him by a couuple steps constantly, lazily jogging along. I didn't get that part.
The big Red fans are probably going crazier for tickets than we are since the game is really close to their campus. I know Kentucky is talented but many of their key guys are freshmen and the Cornell team has played together for so long. They are very poised. Of course if you're up by 10+ the whole game it is easy to be poised. I think this game will be fascinating. They look like they can stop Wall driving to the basket, at least most of the time. Calipari better have a good game plan. I think it will be in the 80s.
