The fact that UK is like 1-9 vs. top teams doesnt bother you?

There are also several players on the team who have the talent to be able to elevate their levels of play. All it takes is ONE of their freshmen to explode on Wichita-- and all of the sudden you don't exactly have a sure thing anymore.

Yeah, all it takes is a bunch of players who shoot around 40% to have a good game against one of the best teams in the country then they might have a chance to be competitive.

Wichita's backcourt will wipe the floor w/ the Harrison twins.

Their front-court is good enough to keep Randle in check.

The only huge concern would be rebounding.

But is it that big of a deal?

Both teams against Tennessee:

Did you watch Florida and UK today? That loss could have been the best thing that could have ever happened to that team this season.

Yeah, Florida had so much on the line in that game.

Just another loss to a good team.

I'm not even fully convinced UK can beat K-State. The fact remains they have only beaten 1 good team all year. I guess 2 if you consider Tennessee a legit tourney team (I don't).

Yeah because the players didn't look relieved, or celebrate when they ended up winning the game by one point. Didn't matter to them. No show of emotion from their squad.

I'm sure they wanted to win, but the game didn't matter that much.

They lose, they are still a #1 seed, they win they are still a #1 seed. Fear of being eliminated or being put in a tougher spot because of a loss was not present.

It's funny that UK has been this disappointing all year that people are happy to celebrate *near* victories.
 
Definitely not taking UK over Wichita and I'm not sure on the K State game either

Don't even know wtf that is.

Baylor probably gonna make Creighton look tarded

ULL bro.

Actually think they match up well against Creighton. If Sean Long can dominate and they do a good job of getting out in transition, they have a strong chance of pulling off an upset.

They play Creighton first round? If so, I could actually see them winning that. I don't like Creighton at all. McDermott's supporting cast is terrible and they are an incredibly soft team. Still not gonna pick ULL though
