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

[hoopster42]

So the best conference in the country is??????? Didnt Gtown beat Duke. 4 of the top 10 teams in the country. Big East is weaker than what the Western conference of the NBA?

big east is weaker than last yr's version, for sure. don't be surprised if only 2 big east teams even make it to the 2nd wknd of the tourney. yea, i said it, don't be surprised if only 2 big east teams make it to the sweet 16

at g'town in a nat'lly televised cbs gm on a saturday. they were fired up. big whoop. go down to cameron and win and then you've got a story

[LT Profits]

I def. think they are the frontrunners to win, but would not be surprised if Cuse or someone else did

That's not true either, Kansas are the current favorites and deservedly so.

Sadly Tourney games aren't played at Cameron Indoor, looking at Dook's tourney results recently re-enforce this.

They rarely play non-conference opponents away from home (neutral site, ACC/Big-Ten challenge, etc)

[Jericholic]

Too young and a coach who has never won anything. I know they haven't been playing well lately, but I've liked Syracuse's makeup as a team for the last couple months and I think they have a great shop at a championship.

they're not played at g'town either. my pt was that duke played AT g'town in a high profile, natly televised gm on a sat afternoon. huge advantage to g'town

[HoldEmHook!!]

Ky has the best mascot name....Scratch

OTW this is why your record is so bad capping kentucky because your so biased. If kentucky played in the big east they would easily have 5 losses, there playing against second tier talent, and most NIT teams. This is the most parity in NCAA basketball in some time and kentucky has no shot, ohio st, purdue, kansas st, kansas, syracuse, villanova, west virginia, the list goes on and on i give kentucky about a 8% chance to win it all. Your reaction should be pricless when vandy handles them with ease

[KC]

Kansas slight edge IMO over Kentucky

haha thats funny when they get 10 teams in, more than 2 will make it to the sweet 16

[simba2010]

Stupid how everyone starts barking about whose going to win the big dance. Don't matter who barks the loudest. Might as well bite on future picks right now. All talk, no walk.

[Crayzee]

the cuse will have something to say about this i'm sure

[hoopster42]

haha thats funny when they get 10 teams in, more than 2 will make it to the sweet 16

10 teams from the big east into the dance? NO FREAKIN WAY, DUDE!

7 or 8 max

Well you have 6 locks and 6 bubble teams i think 9 is most likely and 10 is very possible but then again it depends on which midmajors win their conferences

[BettingWizard]

[Ralphie1412]

Lost to Tennessee

[mojomaker11]

not enough experience tourney is wide open though

Agree

[onthewhat]

They lost a game on the road, calm down.

[teaserpleaser]

road home neutral they still cant shoot no matter where they play.

[IrishTim]

5. Can't make big foul shots
6. Play to the level of their opponent.

[Ralphie1412]

They lost a game on the road, calm down.

And are you under the impression the whole NCAA tournament is played at Rupp Arena?

[HoulihansTX]

They lost a game on the road, calm down.

You are clueless about a team you see every game of. Pathetic.

[Ralphie1412]

I think he is officially a worse homer than ZBOIZ.

Onthewhat is WRONG every game. The best was when he said to take Arkansas and the under and kentucky won by 30 and there was like 200 points in the game

But like I said, Wittle herman is only 16, hes clueless.

[MartinBlank]

The difference between Kansas and Kentucky is obvious.

Kentucky plays in a garbage conference and still has struggled.

I will be stunned if Kentucky makes the sweet 16.

[teaserpleaser]

unreal

[rm18]

Like I said they make the sweet 16 and lose to Wofford

[hoopster42]

the loss to tennessee means nothing, remember in 2007 the favorites florida lost a few gms down the stretch because they simply werent interested in the reg season anymore, they wanted to save their energy for the postseason and destroy people

[Zojo274]

kENTUCKY CANNOT HIT THE THREE. THEY WILL HAVE TO IN ORDER TO PLAY AGAINST THE LEVEL OF COMPETION THEY WILL SEE IN THE TOURNEY. IF THEY STUMBLE ON TN ... TO YOUNG WITH AN OVER EXCITED COACH. IF YOU WANT TO SEE J. WALL WIN A CHAMPIONSHIP BETTER GET YOUR NBA SCHEDULE OUT FOR 5 YEARS FROM NOW

[jjgold]

Kentucky lucky to get into final four, they are overrated

John Wall is way over hyped also

[2daBank]

no team with such a low shooting percentage from behind the arc has ever won the national championship....and the good news is it seems there 3 point shooting gets worse ever game

[aajreyno]

You know what, I pick Kentucky to win it too. BUT....what people say against them is correct.

They are not the run-away favorites. I could see Syracuse, Kansas, heck even K-State winning it

They are young
They can't hit free-throws
They are well coached, but not BEST COACHED (not even close)

I just think John Wall is destined to succeed. I think he will put his team on his shoulders, keep Cousins under control and play to win. Kentucky isn't too far from Indianapolis (my hometown) so there should be plenty of fans willing to make the trip.

I guess you just never know...

[hoopster42]

kentucky was what, +350 to win it all before the tourney started today?
so did you bet it???????

[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.

best recruiter? probably

best coach? NO FUKKING WAY

when you can recruit like he can, you should have at least ONE national championship

tom izzo and gary williams have NEVER had the talent on their teams that he had at umass and memphis, yet izzo and williams have a championship and calipari does not

GREAT recruiter...........only an ABOVE AVG coach
