    Problem here is that teams need to win every game by 20, when they lose 1 or 2 games out of 35 they suck and should not even be in the tournament. Kentucky will be out in the 1st round. Good luck!

    Vandy beat NCstate, Marquette and barely lost to Louisville and Xavier in OT.
    Florida beat Florida State which you referenced above and Texas A&M
    Kentucky beat UNC, Louisville and Kansas so I don't get where you think they would have problems with the ACC/Big12??

    I'm an SEC football guy but SEC basketball is very underrated. Almost every year they only get a handful of teams in the dance because of perception and media snubs but every year they put teams in the final four and have won just as many titles as any other conference in the last 20 years.

    They are by far the best team player for player. This team has probably 6 players who will be first round picks, only Carolina even comes close in terms of talent.

    Calipari is a terrible in game coach and that may be their downfall. Watch the end of the Vandy game. Terrible play calling down the stretch. Also, he subbed guys in and out all game and then just let those 5 lose the game without any substitutions. I'm not sure if he was trying to teach them a lesson or something, but if he coaches like he coached yesterday they will lose.

    Wiltjer needs to play more because he can stretch the D and I think Cal knows this. But Wiltjer is terrible defensively and Cal goes crazy because coach Cal is all about defensive efficiency.

    I don't think they'll win it all. Baylor and Indiana can definitely beat this team. If they do end up playing both Baylor and Indiana I would put the odds at less than 50% they win both those games.

    Coaching had nothing to do with the loss yesterday, they had open looks late but they just couldnt buy a bucket over the last 6 or 7 minutes of the game. As far as subbing they usually only play 7 guys maybe an 8th if Davis or Jones get in foul trouble but usually just 7. MKG had fouled out with about 2 minutes to go and the only other player he could sub that wasnt out there was Wiltjer and just like Cal in that situation I leave him on the bench and take my chances with the guys he had out there.

    And LOL Tpowell that line about Sidney bleeding big macs was ******* gold. I giggled.

    i only watched a few basketball games when i had the chance. Even though i don't have much to go by the teams that i watched: ohio st, michigan st, louisville, syracuse, st. bonnies, kentucky, and a couple more, i thought kentucky was the best of all teams. But the one player i was really impressed by, was that center from Creighton, he's a machine.

    This is the most rational & calm post I've seen you make this week.
    Well said too!

    Calapari always has talent and his teams never close, I wonder why. He is a cheater when it comes to recruiting and will always be a choke artist of a coach. UConn needs to get by Iowa St. But they'll be ready for UK, come the round of 32.
    You my friend are a retard. Coach cal doesn't shoot free throws nor does he play. He puts the team in positio to win Everywhere he goes. Big time coach at Biggest program = success

    Hopefully the heat dont trade wade and pick up lamb inthe draft...can you imagine what a nighmare it would be between james and lebron with the game on the line and time winding down...they woukd be launching the ball at one another like a hot potato...

    Best team and even the odds makers like them more than double the next team. Kentucky 5/2, second choice OSU 6/1
