If you don't think Kentucky will win the NCAA Tournament, get your head examined

Heck, there three Big Ten teams that can beat Kentucky (Michigan State, Purdue, Wisconsin) because all those teams can slow the game down. And no, I am not a fan of the Big Ten normally, but I do think the Big Ten is better than the SEC this year.

[onthewhat]

LT you lose credibility there, Kentucky would light up Wisconsins white kids. Michigan State is garbage, UK matches up with them good. Purdue is decent but also a lot of white kids and not athletic enough.

That is funny though

[Regul8er]

LT....I agree 100%. There will be alot of teams from the Big 10 just missing the tourny (NW, Minny, maybe Illinois)

Honest to god Onner--sometimes I think you post drunk and high.

If having athletic black kids guaranteed success-----the Southern Conference would dominate college basketball.

[Regul8er]

onner.....whats up today buddy?

Your setting yourself up for major disappointment in March if you think UK steamrolls everybody. Like I said, they have the talent to beat anyone in the country no question, but can they come through with so many freshmen being key contributors??

[hoopster42]

1. Best point guard in the country.
2. Best big man in the country.
3. Two of the best 5 players overall in the country.
4. Best coach in the country.
5. Best travelling fanbase in the country (turning neutral games to semi-home games).

Pretty easy to see who will win it all.

other than syracuse in 2003 with carmelo leading the way as a 3-seed, who in the last 25 yrs of the tourney has won with a true freshman leading the way?

i'll take "the field" vs kentucky, thank you

[onthewhat]

I'm saying the only teams with a chance to beat UK are Syracuse (talent + zone) or Kansas (talent + experience). No one else has a chance.
I can guarantee no Big Ten team would beat Kentucky. Villanova is too small and plays no defense, they'd be easy. Duke has too many white kids, no chance.

UNLV with their roster thought Duke was full of small slow white kids too.

And you being a Kentucky fan should have learned your lesson about Duke's white kids.

[onthewhat]

I'm saying no white kids in college can compete with UK's athletes like Wall, Cousins, Patterson, Bledsoe, etc.

No chance.

Onner. You know what you are, you are the ZBOIZ of college hoops.

What Z is to LSU Football, you are to Kentucky hoops.

There is absolutely no difference.

Except Z is more entertaining.

if i didnt think BS as soon as i read the thread then i got to #4 and couldnt help myself just starting laughing....your fukkin joking right? best coach in the country? i know your joking, no damn way you expect anyone to take you serious with comments like that...then we get to #5 hmmm wonder if that is a unbiased opinion ....but damn that lets get back to #4 your joking right? if you would have said most talented cheater at getting recruits and keeping kids that cant read eligible i may have agreed....on the bright side even if UK wins (which i doubt) in a few years they will be yanking the banner down after they find out cousins and wall been getting paid and both scored a combined 16 on there SATs

cousins might just be the best big man in the country....i might agree there onner. he has unlimited talent and really seems to get better every game. shit, you just cant stop him and patterson down low. they will both be quality nba players.

wall is an awesome talent and will be a good nba player, but for now, he isnt even the best guard in the sec (best athlete,yes). unfortunately, there are so many guys just like him in then nba, i doubt he ever makes a big impact.

cal might be the best recruiter/payoff man in college, but the guy is nothing more than middle of the road coach who loses big games for his teams even when he has far and above the best talent on the floor... and not even near being the best coach in the state of kentucky. thats just stupid to say and you know it dumas...

i see cal losing another national championship, they will simply get outcoached. his kids are young and play street ball and the honest truth about it, cal isnt good enough to coach the kids he gets. he is not a big game coach... im sure kentucky fans hope im wrong, but he has proven me right year after year.

in cals interview last week, he said that as far as school grades go, wall was the smartest kid on the team... the kid could have gone anywhere from what i understand...

[yisman]

I think the likelihood of Kentucky winning it all is less than 40%.

[rm18]

Cousins would get dominated by Aldrich or even Omar Samhan, he is just bullying little guys not that good.

[rm18]

Yeh John Wall is doing well in school and even said outside chance he plays 2 years

[2daBank]

in cals interview last week, he said that as far as school grades go, wall was the smartest kid on the team... the kid could have gone anywhere from what i understand...

that could very well be true, just saying only thing coach cal does best is bend the rules...far as coaching goes he is well below avg

[rm18]

VIllanova is the favorite to win it all, they have the experience in the starting lineup and a lot of talented and improving first year guys on the bench.

actually last i checked according to oddsmakers Ku was the fav to win it all...that may have changed i dont know but it would shock me if Nova was the fav

[onthewhat]

Lol rm where do I start.

First you cant say Cousins only plays against small people then tout a player from the WCC. Yes, samhan is good, but cmon, Cousins would eat him alive.

Second Villanova is awful and gives up 90+ pts on the regular. You gotta be able to get some stops to win it all.

Kentucky down 67-60 with 3 mins to play and MSU doesnt score again in regulation. Villanova down similar amount late to Uconn, and at home, and cant get stops.

[2daBank]

i agree cousins is a beast and nova has issues....none of that changes the fact with inexperienced players and a shitty game coach you gotta like UK chances of getting bounced at some point

I can guarantee no Big Ten team would beat Kentucky. Villanova is too small and plays no defense, they'd be easy. Duke has too many white kids, no chance.

in a 'one and done' scenario of the ncaa tourney, with the kind of pressure it puts on players, esp the freshman, to say that any team is such a lock that thinking otherwise means we should get our heads examined, is just a wild, wild statement.

there have been so many surprise winners in the ncaa tournament over the yrs due to the nature of the sporting event that i would put 20% of my bankroll right now (a cool $10k) that "the field will win the tourney instead of kentucky" at even odds RIGHT NOW BROTHA

[philswin]

You cant break down 1 game and determine how a team is going to do in NCAA. Villanova returns 4 starters and adds a top 5 recruiting class off a final four team from last year. Kentucky most talent in the Nation if they can overcome their inexperience in the tourney. Oh I like Coach Cal but no way best coach. There is a guy over at Duke that claims that title.

[MartinBlank]

in cals interview last week, he said that as far as school grades go, wall was the smartest kid on the team... the kid could have gone anywhere from what i understand...

Wall barely qualified.

If he is the smartest kid on the UK team, then they are playing with a squad of retards.

[onthewhat]

Wall had issues because of his private school, not because he is a dumbass. He has a 3.8 GPA at UK.

Well, care to take a guess at how many times Wall needed to take the SAT to get qualified?

I give you a hint. The answer wasn't 1.

[2daBank]

im sure the person doing his work for him is very capable

[MartinBlank]

Oh, this straight from Wall's dumbass mouth.

Bottom line who gives a shit about big time football and basketball players academics?

No one. They are there to play sports.

[Powderguy]

Get the grades out of the convo, majority of all black athletes are dumb as rocks. Like onthewhat said above, they are there for sports, not to make the honor roll.

[linedrivr]

1. Best point guard in the country.
2. Best big man in the country.

won't happen. they won't even make the final!

No you are backtracking Onner?

Turns out Wall is basically a very athletically gifted tard---who when the game is on the line in the NCAA tournament will make a very tard-ish play.
