Btw, I think Duke is overrated. They have a trend of underachieving recently (other than the NC).

Anyway, nice to see the classic games extended a few more years.

Young will push Poythress for minutes and could start some games IMO.

I think that is the starting lineup I would like to see.

Andrew will run point.
Aaron will be SG. He should draw mismatches with his height. Can shoot and drive well.
Poythress/Randle - Big guys who can put the ball on the floor and still be physical enough to rebound and defend.
WCS - Defender and energy guy. I'm still questioning him offensively but he's a good player when he's focused.

And then of course you have Lee, Young and Johnson as the main role players. Lee is a like a shorter WCS (athletic freak). Young is a shooter but can drive it and has shown great hands on defense. Johnson is just a man down low. If he started he'd be a walking double-double.

There's a lot a of different lineups that can happen. That's just the one I would like to see the first few games.

I agree. I was looking at some of the SEC's schedules and noticed LSU will have a chance to make some noise against Memphis later in the month (Assuming they take care of Siena)

Looking forward to that matchup. LSU has a great front court and maybe the best perimeter defender in the SEC in Hickey.

Memphis' front court is talented but untested, and LSU would need the clone Hickey three times to stick our guards.

LSU could be ranked at the time.

Idk, man. They need a rim protector to emerge... but Cook/Sulaimon is an awesome backcourt combo. One of the better combos in the country. I dunno how good Matt Jones is.

Parker is a star.

They did go 27-5 last year...

Last year they finished exactly where they should have. 8th and got to elite 8. But in the last 10 years they usually underachieve (not extremely, but generally)

They've got super star potential in Parker this season, and a great duo in the back court. K is also a hard coach to count out; right when you think they're overrated, they win an NC with Brian Zoubek starting.

To be fair to Duke it's hard to overachieve when they are ranked so high each year. Same for a lot of the top programs.

Not sure if I agree with Duke being overrated this year. Coach K looks like a tool but I wouldn't want to try to out scheme or coach against him. How deep are they in the paint? This team should be a lot more balanced than last years team.

I think UK will start slower than most their fans expect, but will be rolling by March. I think Louisville will be very good all season, if/when Behanan comes back he could be the difference there.

I'm with those who think LSU will be much improved, JOB is one of the most underrated players in the country IMO. I don't think they'll be ranked but I think they'll likely sneak into the tourney.

I think they lose to Michigan State regardless. But they'll be playing well enough to get through Providence, Baylor, etc. The target date will be playing well enough to go on the road Dec 14th and beat UNC. I think that might be tough... and then two weeks later vs. Louisville....

I've heard people say something about this team going undefeated. :rofl:

btw, LSU will be much improved, but they're a bubble team at best IMO

Duke isn't overrated.

Yes, there has been plenty of talk about Kentucky going undefeated. Even today on KSR there were fans saying this years team may be the best in college basketball history.:loco:

Harrell has been playing in his spot and has had 2 really good games. Albeit the competition was lacking.

For the umpteenth time this is "around the ncaa". Unless you're retarded and can't read "Kentucky Basketball" in the title then you made the choice to read it and come here. If it bothers you that much just ignore it.

And no I'm not a troll. There are plenty of VN users who can vouch for me.

Its for Tennesse fans to discuss what's going on around the NCAA. Its not rival fans own little section to talk about their respective teams. Not sure why you are even here anyway. Really?

There have been UT fans having discussions on this thread. Seems like you are the only one with the problem.

I can sum this thread up in a few sentences without even looking. Kentucky will win a lot of regular season games and could go deep in the tournament but will not win a title because they will not gel enough to beat solid teams with senior leaders and players that have been there. They do not have a coach, they have an ace recruiter. That's Kentucky basketball today.

Both teams will lose a couple early IMO. Both will earn very high seeds by the end of the year.

Gutsy prediction of the year: Louisville becomes the first 1 seed to lose to a 16 seed.

I kid.

Looking foward to our M & W's games with y'all on Dec 6th at Baylor Stadium north in Arlington. These games should set regular season NCAA attendance records.

Big weekend for us, playing you at BSN on Friday and closing Floyd Casey Stadium by curbstomping Texas on Saturday.

Year of the Bear II.

I can post wherever I want to. Not sure why you want to act like a jerk about it. This is a board for everyone (there aren't any rules restricting outside fans). Yes, we know you all wish we weren't here. But we are so deal with it. You all have a ton more forum sections to post about UT in than we do about other schools.

No need to argue. If they don't like the thread they can alert a mod.

20 fouls on UNCA in the first half. If we could only hit a free throw we'd be up by 25.
