We don't deserve to go 40-0.

That is probably laced in over simplification, but they are not on UK's level.

when they are on it seems to be against teams that can't play defense. See UNC and Duke

Too many wide open 3s in overtime for Notre Dame. If UK plays ND they can't allow such wide open 3s.

Shooting dependent teams always fail in the tourney because when their legs are gone their scoring is gone. They'll be facing the best defense in 40 years after a 2 day turnaround - I have a feeling it's not gonna be pretty.

Wait.. If we can't beat a team, you're telling me that means we don't deserve to be undefeated?

Not sure I follow you in this one..

Did Maryland already beat WVU? I think not. Wouldn't be counting out Huggins quite yet.

You'd think Notre Dame was 36-0 with six or seven NBA picks on its roster by all the fear-laden posts I've been reading today.


The Wisconsin fear turned into Notre Dame fear by our resident fear mongers it seems.

Notre Dame starts 1 player over 6'5". They do not have much depth.

They have faced NO defense like they will see if we HAPPEN to play them.

At this point in time, I just wonder who we will play next, Maryland or WVU.

I feel West Virginia or Maryland would give us a more difficult game than Kansas or Notre Dame due to matchups.


Hopefully by Sunday morning of next week, we're all laughing at the notion that any of these teams could have seriously beat Kentucky.

The team I am now most worried about is the winner of the WVU and Maryland game. The NCAA tournament is all about concentrate on your next game win and advance.

I am more worried about UK right now than I am any other team in the tournament. When they are at their best they can beat any team in the tournament. I haven't seen their best yet in the tournament. There is several teams in the tournament that can beat them if they play like they have the past two games. They have played well in spurts but have had periods when they were just ordinary. The outside shooting left something to be desired in both games. What is wrong with Booker? His shot is off and he has even thrown up some airballs. Time for Aaron to show that last year wasn't an anomaly.

Let me say I am not in any way knocking Andrew because he is playing well. I just think UK is better on offense with Ulis in the game at PG. This is a situation that Calipari will have to approach with caution however because this is no time to have dissension on the team. Team unity is paramount and this is no time to have problems along that line.

I think as the tournament progresses we will see much less of the pure platoon system and more of a mix and match system. IMO with Booker in his shooting slump the second platoon doesn't have enough offensive power to play it intact against the better teams for any length of time.

Oh what might have been. Think of how good this team could have been if they had not lost Poythress to injury. UK is probably the only team in the country that could have taken that type shot and still been great.

ND is light on the baseline. Right now, I think Maryland may be better than ND or Kansas. None of them will be able to match up with our bigs. If our perimeter offense continues to sputter, we win ugly in those matchups. If our perimeter game wakes up, we win big. Either way, we will need our perimeter game in the FF.
