    I'm beginning to wonder just how big a lead a team has to get....

    I agree. This one felt a little different than getting way behind against Vandy and Zaga. There the Cats were just getting outplayed. Tennessee last night was temporarily in a zone where they just hit everything they threw up. That (usually) doesn't last. Pope made adjustments at halftime...

    Can’t wait to see the team with all hands on deck

    Kentucky has had five coaches will NCAA Titles here, 2 more than any other school. Know how many of those 5 had built and won a Natty at their previous job? Zero
