If you really think that the talent gap between UK and the rest of college basketball is comparable to the '92 dream team vs. the world and that not going undefeated is a monumental failure, then I can't help you.

We've seen so many top-30 type recruits that failed to live up to their hype their freshman year, that I'm surprised you'd have such high expectations of such a young team.  Imagine a team filled with guys like freshmen Dajuan Coleman, Paul Harris, Donte Greene, Chris McCullough, Rakeem Christmas etc.  All top-30 type recruits their freshman year.  All players that needed a few years to develop (if they ever did).

If we put them all on a team with no upper classman leadership, would you really expect them to win it all?  No way.  It's crazy that they made it as far as they did before they got knocked off.  And they got knocked off by a team with the player of the year and a ton of upper classman leadership.

I know it's fun to hate Kentucky, but at least be reasonable in the criticism.
