First...wife and myself was at the game Sat., what a blast we had...getting to Rupp early for a little shopping, lunch and some beers was great! Although we handled the Gamecocks like I knew we could...doesn't mean that S.C. is the worst team in Collage ball this year. Any team that can beat Florida at FL. (or anywhere),..and also beat vandy this year..and came 5 points from beating us on their own floor...can't be the worst team in the NCAA!! They also gave the buckeyes a good game...although the score doesn't relect that. Lets be clear on what happended Sat., and it's called the best defence I've seen in many years of watching collage B-ball!!! And it was also "Miller Time", with the 3-point shooting!!! Here is something I found interesting today...reading the USA Today; they listed their top seeds (prediction) for the NCAA tournament. Finaly...somebody out there..other than a monster UK fan...knows the real deal.
Southeast 1). Ohio State 2). San Diego St. 3). Georgetown 4). UK
East 1)Pitt 2). BYU 3). FL. 4). N.C.
Southwest 1) Texas 2). Purdue 3)Notre Dame 4) Villianova
West 1)Kansas 2). Duke 3)Wisconsin 4)U-Conn
For a bunch of people saying UK won't even make the dance..please are you smarter than a 5th grader? Also...I could be off base (for the first time), I don't see Jones...or any player on the team leaving for the pro's...You head it here first. I have a friend that knows Jones...and from what Im hearing..knowbody is leaving for the NBA next year!! With that being said...the out-look for UK basketball...in the next couple of years, next year...could be just unreal. Im telling ya Card fans...it will be 15 years or longer before the Cards win a basketball game VS UK! I predicted we would win by 18 points this year...so I missed by three points! Also...being a grad from the school..and got a degree in both Education..and Recreational Therapy, I took many classes with basketball..and football players alike...and Im here to tell you; they work their butts off in class...they don't get any grades under the table...and they had to do their own work..and take all test just like me! Yea...they might get a tutor for some extra help, and yes they might leave for the NBA. But while they were there, they had to keep a grade point average or they didn't play, and it was real at UK. Also...the reason why coach Cal didn't play the subs until about 1 min left. Folks...it just about that time of the year...coach Cal is getting his top players all the min. / practice he can...and he coaches like it was a tied game...for the entire game! Like I said...he is going to have this team ready for the dance! There is no time for silly games..or for an applause from the crowd..it's time to get ready to rumble...and the CATS will have some game for some unlucky team who draws us, from start to finish!
