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.

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.

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.
 
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, 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.

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.

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