Message: [QUOTE="Knicks411, post: 244814, member: 767"] If Louisville isn't a real D then who is? We're 17th in the country in defensive efficiency. Kentucky has played 3 teams this year with a better defensive efficiency rating than us. (UNC, Louisville, and Kansas) You can quibble about the exact ratings if you want, but to say we are clearly better than any of those defenses seems like a stretch to me. (Remember, defensive rebounding is a part of defense). IMO, Kentucky is the best team in the country (by a decent margin), but they of course are not unbeatable. But they are really freaking good and will be very tough for anyone to beat. They were able to drive Indiana to the rim all night, and t hey won't have as much success with that if they played us (and I doubt they have as much success with that in the next round against Baylor, for that matter).
