Kentucky now has the chemistry curse...

[AZcuse77]

Whatever bad chemistry Cuse had we have apparently passed on to Kentucky... Calipari has been saying for a few games now that his team won't listen to him and they are getting murdered by Florida right now about to lose 3 of 4 We passed the voodoo on to the perfect team!

Remember when nobody was going to be able to touch Kentucky or Duke this year?

They're both just another good team.

I think Unc might be the best team in the country right now.

Ha, they wont listen to him! Can you see the look on Cals face tonite? He has NO answers imo. Plenty of lotto picks, but no answers...

Is there enough time for him to buy another recruit?

Bring in a bunch of kids that are 1 and done 1st round picks no matter what who really don't need to listen to you, and you run the risk of some head cases that don't listen. What can he really hold over their heads at this point?

Imo he just needs to sit briscoes arse. But thats just me

 

[tbonezone]

still nobody will want to face them as an 8 seed (coughwichitast.cough)

They won't be anywhere near an 8 seed.

Bench em. It works sometimes. Look at SU this yr for example

Kentucky would be a bubble team in the ACC.

I don't think it's at all crazy to say that.

 

[bevosu]

I really think that at this point in the season Florida has a better basketball team than Kentucky. Home game aside.

They're playing good basketball, and all their loses have been to pretty good teams...except for the Vanderbilt loss..

You can't bench everybody. He made it sound like the whole team in general isn't listening, not one or two guys.

That's true of a few top teams this year. Gonzaga and Baylor come to mind.

If we get in as an 8/9, give us one of those teams and let's see what happens.

True enough, i just noticed monk was laughing on the bench at end of game down 20. Dont see that too often. He also didnt finish the handshake line, went to the locker room early. Cant get to the league soon enough...

It's a little crazy

They are the worst team for SU to play. They were last year and are again this year. When Roy has the players to run his system they are very dangerous.

Kinda unrelated but this reminded me of how I laughed out loud when JB gave Gillon the instant hook from a turnover today with hand signals after the talk about how he his guards play are playing better from not having to look over their shoulder for getting pulled for any mistake. A leopard cant totally change his spots... but Gillon was back in there pretty quick with how bad FH is this year!

Yep, let Fox drive and shoot or dish to Monk all game long. His bigs need to rebound and score that way.

I don't think it is at all. All they have to deal with in the SEC is Florida and South Carolina. Georgia can at least give you a game I guess even though they always lose. The rest of the conference is terrible.

Im no coach but why would you ever take the ball out of foxs hands and instead into briscoes? Briscoe is not bad (well his defense and jump shooting is) but he doesnt do anything better than fox imo

All I know is that the ACC is so brutal I expect the same type of NCAAT success this year that it had last year. The first couple rounds are probably easier than regular ACC play.

Thats not exactly going out on a limb... two thirds of the conference are top 32 teams and the others aren't far off...

One of the best things JB did in aught three was to sit Carmelo on a few occasions when he got too big for his britches.

Kentucky and Duke — both seem like cases where you have so much talent that you end up just mixing the players too much and balancing minutes too much. Players who are only there for the one year don't get enough time to develop as collegians and in that system. Like with us this year, we are seeing development in a few players after they became 'established' as the hard starters. I thought battle, for example, was going to need the summer to develop. He came on like a ton a bricks in the last couple of weeks. Kentucky needs to pick a five and get them to gel and have responsibility, and not be able to think 'the next guy can do it.'
