Yawn.
My reaction watching UK in the tourney too. UK won't win the NC with Cal ever. It takes more than stud freshmen to win in college. He'll get out coached again by someone in the elite 8 or final 4. Book it junior.
Doesn't take much knowledge to figure out Cal is mediocre in game coach at best, he's proven it every year at UK. If he can't win with Wall, Cousins, Patterson, etc he never will. Get out of here troll.
You may end up eating those words. If Ky doesn't win it this year, they might not ever under Cal. They are playing great defense. Defense wins titles.
Davis plays great defense, the others can be beat. All it takes is one game. No one thought they'd lose with Wall and co. and they did. If they run into a Duke or Syracuse Cal will be exposed again.
Ky would kill Duke. Duke isn't that great this year. Syracuse could give Ky a legitimate threat because they're long and they play a zone that gives Ky trouble.
I don't remember anyone saying that Ky wouldn't lose with Wall and Co. They had great talent but that team didn't play defense and didn't play as a team like this one does. If Ky doesn't win it all this year, I'll be surprised. Somone may upset them, but they're the odds on favorite.
You obviously can't be too bright if you would count out Coach K and Duke against anyone. They've easily got the talent to beat UK and have the size to play on the blocks with them. You're much more likely to eat your words than I am.
I obviously watch more basketball than you do. You've shown numerous times with some of your posts that you're not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Duke has lost by 18 to Ohio St and lost at home twice. Ky has lost once on the road on a last second 3.
I hope Duke faces Ky. I'll take Ky and you get Duke. I'll bet you anything you want (a year ban from this board if you'd like) that Ky will beat Duke. This would be the easiest bet I've ever made.
Did you start watching basketball this year? Funny how UT fans can jump on the UK bandwagon because they are the flavor of the month. Coach Cal has been out coached numerous times in the postseason during his career. You think just because they've played a weak schedule this year and have a good record that this will miraculously change? Good luck with that logic I'll take talented seniors with experience over stud freshman all day.
I'll be willing to bet I've watched and coached more basketball than you'll ever know. Yeah, us ol' UT fans are jumping on the Ky bandwagon. How old are you? 12? You don't get out much do you?
Again, I hope Ky and Duke meet. That way we can all laugh at your unbelievable ignorance.
Oh look we have another basketball guru. Funny how many seasoned coaches and experts pop up on Volnation. I bet you're a regular Phil Jackson. Now get back to your NBA 2k12 game.
I'd even let Hardwood get in on the bet, but that would just be piling on.
I hope Ky chokes and screws the pooch yet again, but unless Davis gets injured or someone figures out a way to get him in foul trouble, they'll be hard pressed to beat Ky.
Who's UK played this year who is final 4 good? Anyone? You're giving them way too much credit.
I'd say a lot of people would have Kansas or UNC in their Final 4. Of course, you'd actually have to know something about hoops to know that. That was also in the earlier part of the year before their freshmen started to really gel.
Anymore gems you want to pull out?
Again, the bet is still there. You take Duke and I'll take Ky.
So they've only played 2 teams who could make a deep run? Both at home and both early in the season? Yep, really makes ya think this is the year... give me a break you clown. Kansas game was 2nd game of the year you don't think they've improved too? Good argument bud. Williams>Self>Cal.
