Good point.
If only they hadn't beaten the Big 12 champs by 32. Or Texas. Or North Carolina. Or Louisville. Or Providence.
Arkansas is a pretty good team.. Kentucky was just that much better than they were yesterday.
Not sure who else you want them to play.
Arkansas is pretty good? They beat SMU and nobody else.
Kentucky is clearly the best team this year. I do think a point can be made about the SEC though. Kentucky played a tough non conference schedule and then go 2.5-3 months playing absolutely nobody so every is so easy for them. So they reach the NCAA tourney really untested and if they happen to have a bad night they grit is really tested. I don't know that they will lose this year, but I think they would be better prepared for the NCAA tourney if they had to run through the Big 12 or Big East.Originally Posted by holden
The only team I see beating Kentucky outside of maybe Wisconsin is a team that just gets hot from outside and can defensive rebound. Maybe a team like Duke that when they are running good, they don't miss.

Agreed with giles. I think Virginia could contain Kentucky, but Virginia isn't a very good 3 point shooting team. I think Kentucky is most vulnerable in the second round or the S16. I think they could underestimate a team who isn't a marquee program. If they reach the final four they aren't gonna have a letdown against a big time opponent.
Virginia scares me more than anyone else, to be honest. I think they could give Kentucky problems on defense. And Bennett is a good enough coach that they could probably devise a way to score enough to win. Still think Kentucky would and should be favored, but it would be a tough game.
Duke scares me too because if they get hot from outside they could beat anybody, especially if Kentucky is off. They just don't defend very well and so I have doubts about whether they'll even make it that far.
Wisconsin is a little worrisome, but I think Kentucky's interior depth would give Kaminsky some problems. And our guards should be able to handle theirs on offense.
Boy, the last few mins, Kentucky would make all those floppers in soccer proud. Great job, refs.
Everytime UK plays a close game, the other teams ****s the bed and makes dumb play after dumb play.
It was a complete choke. Georgia player flies into the lane out of control and loses the ball. Kentucky gets a fast break because there UGA players are jogging back. That was the turning point.
Oh well. Georgia panicked and just fell apart there at the end.
Oh, I agree. All I'm saying is the same player has pulled the same bull**** "OH MY GOD MY EYE!!!!" three times now. Georgia with no one to blame but themselves.
lol. chumps.

That would be a good draw for Georgetown. They would be a sleeper in that one.

thirty one and oh
I'll tell you one thing: Kentucky would NEVER honor a Louisville coach before a game for winning 1,000 games. Not in a thousand years. Or vice versa.
Yep, i hate it, stupid as hell.
Cant even get calls on UNC's home floor.
Refs want Dook to win.
Dook is just better, all there is to it.
From what I have seen, Duke may be about the only team that can match up with Kentucky.

And you are proud of that? At some point there are things bigger than a rivalry.
