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.

So the 2 guys Wall and Patterson?
or Wall and Bledsoe?
or Wall and Cousins?
or Wall and Dodson?

2 guys? You realize Dodson is the best 3 shooter on the team?

You realize Pat Pat has found a shot beyond the arch, he looks solid in the system and actually looks like he is having fun, unlike last year. Dude, his stock is much higher then last year, he will be a top 15 pick, believe that!

Without looking at his numbers tonight, I think he had at least 12-14 against UConn...Got solid towards the end of the game...kid is immature a tad, but get him in the weight room more, work on his footing, he will be sick...I think he needs to stay one more year.

Fixed.

I could say the same of Duke (nice dig on you)

UConn is legit...Dyson and walker are the real deal...Calhoun has some major talent on that team, I think they are top 2 in Big Least.

Did those Bill Self flame outs have one of the best players in the nation with the ball in his hands....Wall, like the NBA greats wants the ball in his hands and he will take over.
