Not getting the love for Kentucky

[volgrad500]

I really wish we played these guys at home this year. They seem to be pretty overrated, or at least getting ranked based on potential. I haven't seen actually do much on the court this year.
I think the SEC teams who get to play UK twice this year have an advantage over us-they seem to be overrated but provide a nice boost when you play them.

Compare their resume against Memphis (picked only because they have same 15-4 records)

UK has 2 top 50 wins: #27 Louisville and #42 Providence, both at home.
UM has 2 top 50 wins: #15 Oklahoma State, neutral cite, and #27 Louisville at the YUM


UK's four losses are to #8 Michigan State, #50 North Carolina, #52 Baylor, and @ #70 Arkansas.
UM's four losses have been @#15 Oklahoma State, neutral cite #5 Florida, #23 Cincinatti, and #37 UCONN.

Yet UK is ranked #11 and Memphis is ranked #22.

the freshmen aren't staying. they're only on salaries (schollies) for 1 year

And likely don't have the grades to stay if they wanted to.

Personally I think they should stay their not ready I don't think to go to nba

The hell you say!! I think they should go, quick and in a hurry. They'll be a handful, more than likely, at the end of this year. Next year would be a nightmare.

Randle and Young are more than ready. If Poythress keeps playing he is now, he'll be a first rounder.

LSU putting it on em

I wish we got Ky twice this year instead of Fla. I think we would've beaten Ky at home. I don't think we'll beat Fla and have had reservations for awhile now.

 

[volgrad500]

Wow Kentucky dropped 6 spots after that debacle at LSU. I swear I think we would beat them at home.
