So I'm taking a Program Management class virtually at Oakland. It's Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9pm. Started last week and goes this week and next.
The first class was the night of the HL Championship. This week's Thursday class will be during this game vs UK. I am so mad.
I'm trying to decide if I watch the game during class or I go into the bubble and watch it after.
What they should do is postpone the class.

Your first mistake was signing up for a three week class that is during championship week and the first two weeks of March Madness at all. 🤣

To be fair to me, what are the chances our game was going to be Thursday night in prime time?

While trying to find some public data on post up percentages (with no success), I came across this link that has a UK shot chart. Assuming this is good data, one thing stood out: UK is the best three point shooting team in the country, but they are at least below average from the corners. cbbanalytics.com/tools/shot-chartsThere is a table at the bottom showing corner 3ptFG% is 34.4%, while the other locations is 43.2%. That’s a decent variance. It does seem like the corners is where the zone has sometimes struggled giving up uncontested threes, so this season-long data, if reliable, provides a glimmer of hope.

I think the best hope is almost a perfect game jack and Blake hot and Kentucky having trouble with zone seems obvious but don't see much chance unless guys a hot from three hopefully it's a game at least at not a blowout

Tall task against a very good UK team. That said, if UK is so good, why didn’t they win the SEC or their conference tournament? It all comes down to making shots at critical moments. Oakland needs to start fast, meaning shoot well early. Put the pressure on UK to play a complete game and see how poised they are. Upsets do happen regularly in this tournament. See no reason that it could be Oakland this year with this group of players. If Oakland is tentative and gives up a bunch of 3s, it will become a difficult game.

Also can't let it turn into a track meet
