Sunday's Scores
Midwest:
9 Purdue 67 - Able to hand with the Gators for the whole game, but just not enough fire power.
1 Florida 74 - Always turn it on in the 2nd half, but that could get dangerous.
11 Winthrop 61 - Seemed like they were just glad to be in the 2nd round.
3 Oregon 75 - Able to play much more like they wanted to than in round 1.
7 UNLV 74 - Well coached and very solid all around.
2 Wisconsin 68 - Their lack of offense and athletic ability wasn't going to get them to the Final 4, now they won't be embarrassed by Florida.
West:
8 Kentucky 76 - Morris was never stopped, but just not enough talent to help him out.
1 Kansas 88 - I don't see any weaknesses that will keep them out of the Final 4.
5 Virginia Tech 48 - Terrible matchup; never could play a wide open game like they wanted to.
4 Southern Illinois 63 - Imposed their tempo on this game, and executed so well in the halfcourt.
East:
5 USC 87 - Spoiled the media's Kevin Durant party.
4 Texas 68 - Outmatched the entire game; might have been thinking about 3rd round matchup with UNC.
5 Tennessee 77 - 2 great matchups in 1st 2 rounds; haven't faced an inside presence yet.
4 Virginia 74 - Another ACC contender that falls short of the sweet 16.
7 Nevada 62 - Rarely get to play an athletic team like Memphis, and it exposed their weaknesses.
2 Memphis 78 - Didn't shoot well, but are just so versatile and athletic that they win in many different ways.
Kentucky's Opponents:
Florida, Kansas, UCLA, North Carolina, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, and Memphis all advanced to the Sweet 16. I don't think there is any question that Kentucky had one of their hardest schedules of all time. The problem is that UK was only 1-9 vs. these teams. It is a pretty strong possibility that UK will have played all of the final 4 teams.
