Ole Miss

Serious question for you two and other UK fans that might chime in. Did this team peak against U of L? I haven't watched all of the games, but it just seems they played very well aginst the Cards and have either become stagnant or maybe even back slid a little. I really thought they would run rough shod through the SEC. Like I said I don't watch all of their games so I could be wrong. I would like to hear your opinions.

The team did peak against UofL
Lamb has improved his game and is one of the smoothest players that I have seen in a while and he is the only player on the team that has improved, PERIOD. He should be starting over Liggins.

Knight has stayed the same

Liggins is not the defensive stopper they say he is plus he drives too much into trouble and takes untimely shots from the outside

Harrelson played so far over his head early in the season that you are now seeing the guy that is just getting playing time in Big Time College games but he has Small College ability.

Jones goes from #3 in the NBA Draft to benched to all world to average. Stop him from going left down low on the blocks and you stop him plus he misses way too many easy shots.

Miller dissappears in the big moment and if there is anyone on the team that should have the experience to show up at that time it is him. He should be the LEADER of the team but he is not. He should be the Patterson of last year, quiet but deadly, but he is not.

These 6 are the team and that is another problem, Vargas and Hood do nothing but take up space and absolutely give nothing when they are in the game. Stacy Poole came in with some hype and I have played more than he has played. No bench at all and the top 6 fade down the stretch. Calipari has not coached this team well at all. 6 players and you want to press and play like they do at times is rediculous. Early in the year I would have said that Knight, Lamb and Jones was equal as a threesome to Wall, Bledsoe and Cousins at the same time last year. The difference is Cousins kept improving a TON, Wall kept improving as did Bledsoe. Other than Lamb this years threesome can't say the same.

I see a 5 or 6 seed in the NCAA (on reputation for it should be an 8 or 9 seed) and an early exit in the big dance for the Big Blue this year. Last year I picked them to win it all but this team won't even win the East in the SEC with road games still left at Florida and Tennessee and them losing 3 out of their last 4 road games the team flat out can't get it done. I would love to see this team with Enes playing in the middle and let Jones play the 4 like it needs to be played plus Lamb and Knight. It would be a whole other story, but NOT

elwood pretty much hit the neail on the head. I think we have no business being ranked. If we were to go back to the Yum center right now, Pitino would hand us our A$$... With that said, maybe all these guys will **** so bad they decide to stay (none of em will get drafted anyways)... Then bring in next years recruiting class and add it to this class, and we may actually have a bench to go to and some players with a little experience on teh floor.

I have said it since day 1, Calipari will never win a national championship here as long as he goes for these one and done guys.... I wish teh NBA would just make a college degree a requiement to play...

I know it will be there, but I dont see any one and done talent this year. Jones maybe, but there will be a train wreck with the new talent next year coliding with the old talent from this year if Knight and Jones dont leave.
I am predicting a 6 seed and a 16 exit. Dont care what Paypal Cal says this years talent is not even close to last years.....

GO CATS!!!!!!
