No, it goes back to Rupp and the 1st CB dynasty.I think alot of it was Cal hate right? I think alot of the stuff that happened at UK under him also happened when he was at Memphis.
Like I said in the other thread, I believe more people will jump on this UK teams bandwagon.
Coach Pope is coaching perfectly for today's game. UK has the experience and the type of players needed to win.
I follow all SEC basketball so I will admit I'm biased, but I dont see how anyone could deny UKs potential here. What's even better is that UK is working 12 new players in and the chemistry isn't even fully there yet which will change as the season progresses.
And just why is that?Probably 1 or 2 spots below wherever they decide to rank Duke.
I say Duke 9 UK 10.
They will spot UK at #11 just to spite us out of the top 10.I think it'll interesting to see if the Coach's and AP polls are the same or different.
I think we'll be 10/11 ish.
Should be top 10. They steamrolled the two smaller schools as they should, and beat a top 5 team on a neutral floor. No excuse otherwise, aside from a silly preseason ranking based on nothing other than guesswork.
