Kentucky is beatable

[LAOrange]

If LSU could hit a jumpshot they would have won. LSU has two little quick guards that just destroyed Kentucky's backcourt. Teague and Miller combined for 1 point and 5 assists. Our guards will kill these guys.

UK could give Team USA a run for their money. We have no shot. Hand them the title.

 

[Guinness]

They certainly did not look very 'elite' today.

UK - Davis = Every other SEC team.

LSU did well to get him foul trouble early but couldn't capitalize.

 

[MiniCuse]

The free throw disparity was ridiculous.

 

[PauliePeppas]

They will lose to a big east team...again...and their fans will contiue to rip the big east than noel commits here after we win it all

The difference between SU yesterday and UK today is that we played a team with 3 first round draft picks this upcoming draft and UK played...LSU.

 

[Smithers-Jones]

Well, there are no undefeated teams so everyone is beatable.

Interesting piece. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/news?slug=ycn-11074752

SU has most Ws over "projected" tourney teams

It's interesting how those arguments are made and are supposed to be relevant right now. I know you're being sarcastic, but many are still using early season wins to justify their arguments right now. I'm pretty sure most people wouldn't expect UNC to blow out MSU if they played today, or Kentucky to beat KU by ~10. It's like SU's Florida win. Florida was playing at a much higher level at the beginning of the season than they are now, and it doesn't look nearly as impressive as it did at the time. It's kind of stupid to argue for/against teams based on wins that were 4 months ago.

They are going to have a lot of trouble scoring on us, and we are going to have a lot of trouble scoring on them. They will murder us on the glass, but also turn it over far more than us. Close game I think.

Sorry may have been looking at a '13 draft, but Oriakhi

Check out some of the SU guys' grades

Have BT going in the second round in 2013

Actually Lamb may be playing himself out of the first round. Those iso's on him at the end of game were devastating. Dude has no heart.

dudes no bigger than 5'10", those types of players are long shots. I don't think he'll make it personally.

oh man really? Oriakhi? he's not even a good college player IMO.

where he's going you don't need any of that. I'd say 40% of NBAers don't care if they win or lose so long as they get paidddd!! Kinda why I hate the NBA.

Kentucky is the greatest basketball team ever assembled.

 

[44PRIDE]

If Rak-a-lak-a plays like he did yesterday.....well...lets just say I like our chances.

 

[edowd26]

Last time a Kentucky team this good lost... it set in motiong cataclysmic events we now know as... the Ice Age. We're talking mass extinctions if we don't crown them right here... RIGHT NOW.

 

[PoppyHart]

Of course they're beatable. I don't think anybody thinks any team is unbeatable.

Depends alot on how the refs call it. If UK gets the ref treatment that UConn got last night we'd be in trouble. If the refs are willing to call fouls on Anthony Davis, Cuse would roll easily. We will turn them over alot unless the refs are calling fouls everytime we get close on defense.

I've been hoping for over a month that UConn gets the 8 or 9 seed in Kentucky's bracket. In my mind Kentucky and UConn aren't too terribly different. Neither have much depth to speak of, and both have top tier young talent that doesn't produce anywhere near the hype of having future NBA players would have you think. If Drummand can cancel out Davis (refs prefer to not call fouls on either) then I think UConn would beat them.
