that's what college basketball is about to me the team play


There was plenty of team play with UK this season. Was one of the most unselfish teams I've watched play in a long time. This criticism is a bit ignorant knowing that.

but i like to know my team, watch them get better, root for the players,


UK fans are all able to do that. Would I like some of those guys to stay longer? Sure. But I don't have any problem following them at UK and beyond. No more than I did Jamal Mashburn or Rex Chapman when they both left early.

I don't like one and done. I think it takes an amateur system that is already highly suspect and makes it even more dubious. Players essentially attend class for one semester.

But I have defended Kentucky and will continue to do so against the hypocrisy of the critics. I criticize the SYSTEM, not Kentucky. I find it laughable that so many fans of other teams hate on Kentucky for the sole reason that UK has more of the one and dones and are more successful with it.

For the critics, particularly Big Ten fans, please note that you are not less of a whore because you only sleep with two strange men a week while your friend sleeps with four.

maybe i should have worded that differently however i meant team i guess more as in a team that played together for more than one season not some all star team slapped together by some greasy used car salesman.
