    They barely won the last two games after losing the entire game except for late runs and did it again last night. They were out played by a huge margin. They are a team who can't hang with the big boys and have to rely on late runs when a team smashing them lays off.

    They are not a very good team, but they have a great player in Robinson.

    KU was a great coached team. They are the reason we like March Madness because a team without the best individual parts can be coached into a unit that can compete and find a way to win.

    You say they barely won their last two games ... point is they won those games. A lesser TEAM does not win those games. A lesser team gives up when they are down double digits and gets pounded. There is no shame in losing to Kentucky. KU had a remarkable season considering the expectations after all their departures last season. They won the Big 12, again. Beat the team everyone annointed champ before they played, Baylor. And then beat the hot team, Missouri.

    If the big boys are Kentucky, yeah they couldn't quite hold up playing just 20 minutes of basketball. I think your assessment of them being a bad teams is based on three or four games you saw ... that they still WON. Look at their regular season, solid work for this inferior team.

    You mentioned the Ohio State and NC State games as being barely won. Was not talking about Kentucky.
