You tell me when they will be out and I will take that bet for $50. Name which round and I bet $50 that they will go past that round.
If EVERY team in the tourney played to the BEST of their ability EVERY game then UK wins hand down. That is including EVEY team, Kansas and Villanova, and all of them. NOBODY has better talent and these freshmen are not playing in their first game of the season during the tourney. 35 games plus a couple of exhibitions and no telling how many hours in the gym and you can take the FRESHMAN title away. These kids have been playing for amateur and state titles all of their lives. Been under the microscope every game for years and most of all.......
THEY have played their best ball of the YEAR the past 2 games. I have been saying it all year long, Bledsoe - Miller - Dodson are the keys to this team. If they shoot the ball well from the outside, THEY ARE UNBEATABLE. Bledsoe burns an overmatched team in game one then flat out LOCKS down Wakes 2 guard to a tune of 2 points in 33 minutes of play. Miller goes off and most of all, John Wall strokes 3 - 3's with more confidence than I have seen him shoot it all year long. Starters shoot almost 70% from the field last night for UK, team shoots 62% even with the mop up shots. Best team in America, HANDS DOWN. I want the road to be Cornell (who I think will beat Wisconsin), W VA (to shut up all those that said WVA was going to beat UK, DUKE (for obvious reasons) and then Syracuse (for obvious reasons). After UK dispatches of a No 2 and two No 1's on the way to the title there will be no doubt who is the best team in america. Starting 5 plus Liggins, Orton and Dodson makes UK the best top 8 players in the country. Name one team, JUST ONE, who has the talent that can interchange Wall - Bledsoe at the point, Bledsoe-Dodson-Liggins-Miller, at the 2-3 spot, then Orton-Cousins-Patterson at the 4-5 spot. Best team in america and in a couple of weeks will be hanging another NCAA Champ banner in Rupp Arena.
