  1. Tyler Hansbrough is probably the most overrated player (even for college) that I've ever seen. He is good at two things it seems: Taking the foul (something the ACC does with special talent, though I've never seen Hansbrough flop), and making teams pay from the charity stripe when he does get fouled.

    In three games against admittedly poor UK squads, he has averaged 9ppg and 8rpg. Not exactly All-American numbers.

    If Randolph Morris would have stayed another year, Tubby's decision to get Morris over Hansbrough would have looked a lot smarter, I think.
  2. Marquette will be a good game (revenge for the D Wade game! Fuck Tom Crean!), but now it's my turn to be chicken little. Their losses this year have been to teams like Georgetown, UConn, and UofL. Teams with a great inside presence. Something we don't have.

    IF we win that game, we get Stanford and the Lopez Twins. Unless Jared Carter eats Bill Russell's heart and gains his strength, they will tear us up inside.
  3. UNC went to the sweet 16 in 2002? with 18 wins. Georgia got in a few years back with 16 wins iirc.
    Our SOS and Last 12 figure heavily into the discussion, and Rivals.com still has us as a 9 seed.
    I've also heard that because of the snafu in Atlanta, the NCAA selection committee aren't going to place very much weight on these games.

    When is the last time a team with [b]12[/b] wins in a power conference didn't get in? We're 2nd in the SEC East and if they send 4 teams, we HAVE to get in.

    Quit worrying about it.
  4. the SEC is royally fucking this up!

    UK is scheduled to play tomorrow at 12:00, and then (if we win) again at 3:00 against MSU. The anti-UK element on ESPN (Gottlieb, et. al) said that this isn't a big deal-that AAU teams play 4x a day. That's the most ignorant bullshit I've ever heard, but it looks like barring a Co-Champion situation, we have to deal with this.

    unless BCG tells the players to get back on the bus and tells the SEC where they can stick it.
