I certainly haven't seen any great basketball so far. Has looked sort of like two main battle tanks who have crushed (literally) the rest of the field in the Indy 500 now grinding onward, colliding with each other, and in the end someone will say, "What a great race!"

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
Poor shot selection, poor shooting percentage on shots with room, turn-overs, lots of uncalled travels, lots of uncalled fouls. It is closely contested, but it isn't great basketball.

I don't shiv a git. As far as I'm concerned they can all dribble their ebonic axxes back to an african ebola infested jungle. What are these "stellar" monkeyshines "studying" in kolledge? Mahdik and white women? If you haven't noticed there is a war against white people by these sons of Obozo.... I won't give them the time of day much less my money. Ef'em all
lmao
Jed York does not own the 49ers; Russell Wilson does.

That's what physical basketball looks like.
Pitino's teams *al*ways play rough. That's why he's ranked #4 in the country with rather typical division 1 talent.
What you're witnessing is a finesse team (kentucky) having to find a way to win against a team that spend its free time in the weight room. Pitino knows that he can't win playing Kentucky's game, so he's doing what he has to do,..draw blood.
Kentucky, on the other hand, is having to adapt their play and toughen up.
Hell yes,...this is as good as college basketball gets.
If you want to see "pretty" basketball, you watch NBA. they don't play defense in the NBA.
Big time college basketball is based on defense,..and some of the best games are the most physical games.
The second half is going to get even more physical.
I don't disagree with any of your assement; I just don't think it is basketball but is some other contest played without regard to the rules of basketball. In any contact sport, you can play in such a way that it takes control of the game away from the officials - "They can't possibly call us every time we do this, so we'll continue to do it the way we want to do it."

Now it's starting to stink. The refs have allowed Louisville to play bruiser ball all the first half, now they're calling touch fouls against Kentucky.
It had it all,...hostile crowd,..chitty refs,...bloody players,..Kentucky's best big man in foul trouble most of the second half, and still beat the undefeated #4 ranked team in the country.
Tyler Ulis should be seeing more time at the point. That little guy's a player.
Kentucky won the game 58-50,...but you *know* you've been jobbed by the refs when the box score total show 20 fouls on Kentucky and only 16 on a team like Louisville,...who is known far and wide for its physical style of play.
