re: So how bad is Kentucky rough up the rest of the SEC in BBall

They are playing with two guys, and the bench is very short. The minute Wall sits, the team looks 10x worse, and even Patterson's game has regressed a little bit. That's due to Cal's system, and the fact that Patterson is better in a slower paced offense.

Cousins is as big of a baby as I was told last year, and he is great at getting 25/12 against UNC-Asheville, but I have yet to see him do anything consistent against a big school. He looks like a future NBA bust to me right now, especially if he goes pro after this year.

Wall is a surefire top 2 pick, but everyone knows that already.

UConn isn't very good (top 20 team, but nothing more) and they gave the Cats a very tough game. Before the season, I thought UK could be a Finla 4 type of team, but I am not seeing it right now. I actually think it's more likely that they are the team that pulls a Bill Self and loses to a 14/15 seed in the first round.

Of course, there is time to get better, but UK is kind of doing the same thing in every game.
