There have been plenty of "well they haven't played anyone in months" criticism.

The only thing that "getting to them" did was piss their players off. It didn't have any negative impact on UK.


He frustrated them for long periods of time in the first and in the second half. Sure, they're just too damn good to not recover, but it definitely made a difference

Love the Badgers, and they've been a lot of fun to watch all year, but they won't get past UNC in the Sweet 16. Tar Heels will eat them alive in the post.

UK, Duke and UVA are the only teams I can see beating them. They are very very good.

Because the SEC is relatively weak, which is the case every year these days. Says nothing about Kentucky as a team, IMO.

If UNC doesn't beat them, Arizona will. If they eliminate Arizona in the West Regional Final in two straight years, I would be really, really impressed.

I would add Arizona to the list ... probably the biggest challenge in that quarter of the bracket - no offense to the Hogs who I'm sure would give them a good game, as well.

Ellis has almost beaten Cinci by himself. Bad shot selection, fouls and his mouth have caused what's happening right now.

His mouth has definitely caused the last three bad calls on him, that's for damn sure

Plenty has because of the perception of SEC basketball. More than anything, I'm saying Kentucky can play you however you want. Finesse? They will run you off the court. Physical? Bring it, 'cause they will kick your arse that way too.

He's also a big reason they're still playing. That was a team that could easily have fallen apart when Cronin got sick, but those guys stuck together and rallied this season.

Vinci would be really good if they had one or 2 Stone cold shooters

They just aren't skilled enough

Their two 6-9 bigs aren't going to out-board Frank Kaminsky and Nigel Hayes. That shite ain't happening and you can take that to the bank.

Arizona, on the other hand, is a complete team. They could beat anybody, so I agree with you on that one.

Duke has no chance guards aren't good enough

Uva lol

Zona would give the cats a run for the money they got athletes and they have better guards and an NBA all star calubur wing who UK won't be able to match up with

West Virginia v. Kentucky would be interesting even though I think Maryland wins against them.

This. This, this, this, this, this. There is no one on that team who can get a bucket when they really need one.
