Works for me. Duke is beatable, but UK would need to be much better at the line to get there.

Kentucky might not win it all, but I hope they do. My favorite time in SEC basketball was all through the 90s when we dominated the west and you guys dominated the east and every year we seemed to split the games where the home team would lose during the regular season and the losing team would then win the SEC tourney. The SEC needs a strong Kentucky and it would be nice if we could return to even a shadow of our former selves and make you guys better as well along the way.

That's just my opinion...I also can't stomach Dook or the Bluebirds winning it, I would be OK if Syracuse, West Virginia, K State or Georgetown wins it all though...

The SEC is much weaker overall than the Big East and Big 12 and that will hurt UK - they also can't shoot from 3. That usually spells disaster in the tourney...

If Texas gets past Wake Forest, UT-Kentucky COULD be a great game. Texas is loaded with athletes that have had trouble playing together. I keep watching them waiting for it to gel-if it ever does they will be very dangerous. Pittman started year off dominating inside with a man to man defense. Big 12 teams started playing him with a sagging zone and he struggled. If they hit a few threes it could be interesting. I know these are a lot of ifs but as a 8/9 seed they would scare me.

BHO,I have to agree with you! We have a young team. I'm just glad we are playing basketball again in the bluegrass!

I've got the WVU/UK winner losing to Kansas in the finals. UK is a damn strong basketball team. If Cousins,Wall, Bledsoe and company were a year older it would be a no brainer to pick Kentucky to win it all.

That's what worries me. Billy Donovan was the same until he had his well matched role playing guys. Hopefully, our talent can supercede our lack of experience. For example, yesterday!
to MSU. Great game! You guys were robbed you should have gone before the gheytors!

well that's entertaining, all 1 seeds. it would be only the 2nd time ever. dont hold your breath.

Kansas has the toughest bracket and Kentucky is too young, they barely got out of the SEC tournament, OT against team not even in the big dance.

I think your wrong, you fail to mention experienced players like Miller and Patterson, and Bledsoe is a top 4 gaurd in the country. No one is close to Kentucky when it comes to talent. I think they win every game going away.

No... the worst 32-2 team ever would be 2010 Kansas apparently...

If Duke and Kentucky meet and UK loses you will see a meltdown of epic proportions from the Cat Fan Base. That in itself would be worth watching.

Ahh, another anti-hate UK repsonse.

Honestly, did a UK fan kick your arse in Nashvegas one time?
