Thanks, that's all I wanted to hear. ;) Seriously though, some of those games were at the VERY beginning of the season, and while not discounting them, all of those teams are much different now. So I don't think those games actually do give you a read. Later on in the season, sure. I also don't put a ton of stock into in conference games, because those teams know each other so well. If we play UConn close, and UK plays Vandy close, what does it mean? Not much, except those teams understand the way UK and SU play, and can adjust based on familiarity. 
 
If I was putting together my top 3 right now it would be: UK, SU, UNC. If you asked me who I think we'd have a tougher time with, I'd say UNC. Being the best, or beating teams by a lot means something, but not everything. Match ups are much more important. I think we match up well with UK, and not as well with UNC. To me, that's what college basketball and the tourney is about, the match ups. I'd be absolutely scared to death of Wisconsin, but that doesn't mean I think they're the best team. Just potentially the best team against SU.nUNC has had their issues, and I think a full game of zone would make it difficult on UK. We have the players and the coach. After that it's all about the match ups.
