re: Kentucky basketball team is "good" but..

Other than Monk and Fox they are not nearly as good and deep as they have been in recent years.

Oh, they are all very good but they are in a slump of playing undisciplined. Teams that have exposed that have beat them. Even a barely above 500 Tenn team got the lead on them and they could not discipline themselves to control the halfcourt game and work their way back into it.

January's are historically bad months for Cal teams for some reason. They usually hit a pretourney improvement in Feb but that remains to be seen. If LSU keeps turnovers to a minimum and plays some defense they could stay in the game until the last 5 min. If that happens it becomes a 50/50 shot because this team has not done well in closing games that are contested.
