A little late to this party, but just have a few random thoughts on Kentucky:

1. How the hell do you prepare for that? It's preparing for two teams in one game. You make a little headway against one team and then another fresh and rested team comes in.
2. Give Cal credit for going against the grain and not being afraid to experiment.
3. I just can't even fathom the number of motivational tools Cal has for this group. They have to push each other in practice and in games. One group builds a 5 point lead and the next group competitively wants to build 10 points. The two groups building and competing off each other has to be a coach's dream. 
4. I hate military terms being applied to sports.
5. I think Kansas is overrated, but to see [I]Kansas[/I] get manhandled like they're Fort Hays State is always going to be a bit of a shock.
6. This is going to be a boring year for college basketball. Other teams will get better, but so will Kentucky. We're all playing for 2nd.
7. Say what you want about Cal, but he gets these guys to buy in and compete and they improve and are playing great ball in March every year. The man's a great coach.
8. Dick Vitale's constant complaining that athletes should be forced to stay for three years is asinine and he needs to shut up about it. The notion that NBA owners and GM's need to be saved from their own stupidity to not draft guys who aren't ready is so freaking ridiculous.
