UC will probably come in 2nd in the big east to nova this year.

[quote name='#22' date='18 November 2009 - 02:01 AM' timestamp='1258524084' post='829747'] We can agree to disagree regarding UK, but you really think that UT is better than UNC, Texas, and Kansas? Sure, they return all 5 starters, but they were only 21-12 last year, missing the NCAA tournament and getting destroyed by Jodie Meeks at home. [b] Coach Pearl doesn't put together great defensive teams, either.[/b] [/quote] No he doesnt but they arent relying on a bunch of freshman to play that D either and the players themselves have put more of a focus on defense. i dont see UNC as being very good this year. really the ACC will be kind of down this year. wake, unc and duke are not dominant teams this year so it will be interesting to see how the acc season goes. for some reason i never take texas too serious i think its their coach. kansas should be good of course. i just think UT is going to surprise people because they are better than people give credit and they have gotten 0 talk.

[quote name='#22' date='17 November 2009 - 11:09 PM' timestamp='1258513758' post='829710'] How do you explain Cal taking Memphis to the Final game in the 2008 NCAA tourney while never giving up more than 75 points in that Tourney? Miami used a lineup where 4 out of 5 players could hit the three, and they had a [i]great[/i] night. Hitting 54% of your threes doesn't happen all of the time. Besides, dude, it is a little early in the season to say that UK has no chance. Why do you think that the first few games of the season are against mediocre teams? I would rather Kentucky have a great final 10 games than a great first 10 games, and I think that's exactly what they will do. Enjoy another Sweet Sixteen season, Dukie. [/quote] ive already stated that Duke is at best a sweet 16 team this year, especially with our starting PF breaking his wrist. Dukes next title chances are in March 2011 and 2012. My opinion on UK was made well before this game. It is typical Calipari he doesnt teach team concept and doesnt improve his players as a team. he improves them on an individual basis but doesnt improve them as much as other coaches would. he gets top talent but doesnt develop it that well. A lot of the power house teams are down this year so this would be an easy year to have one of the best recruiting classes ever and little big time teams challenging you to win a title but he will find a way to fail. I would have never hired him if i was UK. There were better coaches around. I am not bashing UK i am just saying they wont win a title. I am very confident in that belief. You can say well no shit cuz there are a ton of teams and only 1 can win it, but i dont care if you believe or agree with me. just my opinion. I also think Tennessee is the best team in the country. They returned all of their starters i believe.

UK has no chance of winning the NC. Calipari doesnt coach defense. Miami hit 15 threes because UK left them WIDE open the ENTIRE game. Miami would drive and kick to the corner for a wide open three at will. Calipari always recruits all this great talent and then doesnt coach it up and doesnt teach defense or how to play as a team. They will spend the year playing inconsistently because they will be a bunch of individuals out there playing. They will beat a lot of teams just because of pure talent but they will lose to someone in the tourney that has good talent and the concept of defense and playing as a team.

A friend of mine once typed M's name 3 times; he appeared like Betelgeuse, swatted the shit outta him and then dunked on his wife. After he vanished they discovered his daughter was pregnant. Wasn't pretty.[/quote] hahahahahaha.

stephenson is a superstar player.

lane kiffin was a GREAT hire.

[quote name='scharm' post='760005' date='Mar 31 2009, 10:20 AM']Idiots with 7 national championships and the most wins in college basketball history. I don't know why the Kentucky job is so popular, I think it's just good. No reason to question it. I have to say, I don't spend a whole lot of time wondering why Greaters Ice is so popluar either. It's just good.[/quote] what have you done for me lately. i dont care about all those stats racked up when rupp cheated like a mother fucker. they dont even have the most tournament game wins that record is dukes

[quote name='#22' post='759900' date='Mar 30 2009, 08:20 PM']Patrick was the #3 ranked PF in 2007, a slightly better class, plus he has 2 years in the NCAAs. I was very excited when I thought UK had a chance to get Cousins and still like the prospect of him playing for UK (though I'm not sure about the new HC), but Patterson and Cousins are at least a push in terms of skill at this point. One is [i]beloved[/i] by the fans and is a Junior, the other is a freshman. Patterson would start. This reminds me of when BlackJesus (where is he, by the way) said that Tim Krumrie wasn't fit to hold Corey Simon's jock.[/quote] not really. BJ is a busy man and we know he doesnt watch much football outside of the bengals. i definitely know patrick patterson and demarcus cousins quite well. cousins is definitely the better post player of the 2 and will be a presence that is feared whether tehy have a top PG or not. he will get rebounds to get his shots and not need to be set up as perfectly as patterson needs it. patterson is very good but he likes to disappear in games too. cousins wont disappear unless he is in foul trouble.

[quote name='#22' post='759796' date='Mar 30 2009, 11:11 AM']Henry wouldn't start over Meeks and Cousins would not start over Patterson.

He would be a pro if there wasnt a rule against it. I am a huge patterson fan but he isnt anyhwere NEAR cousins level.
