Yeah, which means he beat a bunch of great teams. Kentucky routinely gets beat by teams with far less talent.

No one is asking him to win 7 in a row. But 1 is pretty pathetic no matter what metric you're using. The fact that that John Wall team didn't win is completely embarrassing.

Kentucky has done exactly that in each of his runs.

The talent level in college basketball is EXTREMELY better across the board. That Wisconsin team they lost to had the POY and another NBA first rounder. They also likely have 1 or two more if you take in to account this years class.

Plus routinely would mean that they would lose a lot more regularly, but he's been to the Final Four over half the damn time he has been at UK.

Again it is a one and done tournament. They shot 1-20+ from 3 that game. You play that game 7 times Kentucky likely wins 6 of them.
