I'm a die hard True Blue fan, but I will have to agree with something MHall said......If UK played in the Big East we would have a few more losses than we will playing in the weak SEC this year....UofL schedules a weak nonconference schedule so their record looks good to the tournament selection committe..If you switched Uk and UofL's nonconference schedules UofL would conceivably be looking at 4 losses right now instead of one (Washington, UConn, North Carolina, Notre Dame) and UK would probably be undefeated and ranked in the top 5 in the country....I don't think UK has the talent to make a deep run in the tournament this year, maybe a Sweet 16....UofL will probaly struggle to make the tournament unless they pull off a couple big wins in the Big East at which they will have several chances....The only thing that gets me about the UofL fans is how they talk the game up every single year and when they lose talk about how they didn't really expect to win anyway....All fans have a tendancy to be obnoxious at some point and thats what fuels these rivalries....If UofL was going to upset a Cal coached Cats team this was probably their best opportunity for ahwile...and with all this thug talk has anybody looked at UK"s team this year.....please point out the "thug" on this team.....Brandon Knight is one the top scholar athletes in the country...the guy almost classified as a sophmore when he walked on campus because of the credit hours he earned while in high school.....One other thing before I go...If Selby had chosen UK over Kansas how many UofL fans would be running their mouth about "Cheatapari" right now....but he didn't and I haven't heard a single Card fan mention his name
