You need players with a solid fundamental base, not just athletes.  Players who have high Bball IQs and can shoot, create, etc.  UConn is doing so well this year because they have TWO points on the floor that are quick enough to break you down AND will hurt you from three if you play the drive.  Their other guys are good enough to score here and there and grab rebounds, but they go as Napier and Boat go.  UK is probably the worst matchup for this Husky team because they have the athletes, scoring and the depth to deal with Napier and Boatright.  UConn has no one who can guard Randle either.

I give them a ton of credit for being in the title game.  They took Florida out of their comfort zone.  The fact that UF lost to UConn twice this season just shows that they did not match up well against them.  That's how the tournament goes.  It's about match-ups.  We had great match-ups, but we couldn't score enough to take advantage of them.  UConn is a better scoring team than we were, and Napier is on fire right now.  Our guys were far from, like squeezing water from a stone.

As well as UConn is playing right now, I just think that UK is the hotter team, the more talented team, and the deeper team.  And they seem to be the team of destiny.  Seriously, how many games are they going to pull out at the end?

And if UK wins, most of their roster will bolt, further complicating Jerami Grant's prospects, so you know who I'm cheering for, and why.  ;)
