Tonight at 9 against Georgia. Guaranteed Double Digit win and dominating performance by the best 7 in the Nation (yes I included Wiltjer because he is playing and shooting the ball very well over the last 10 games). But, I will say Darius Miller has been an outstanding representative of UK Basketball for 4 years. A Kentucky Boy that never got into any trouble and has rolled with all these top players coming in the last 3 years. From Drunken Billy G to the Elite 8, Final 4, soon to be National Title and joining the 1,000 point club to boot is an outstanding career. He could have hung his head and complained about not being a starter this year but he handled it with the same Class and Dignity that he has handled his career. He is one of my all-time favorite players (along with Chuck Hayes) because he has done everything that has been asked of him and then some. This team would not be the team they are if he moaned and groaned about not starting and he could have been a Cancer instead of the Quiet Leader that he is.
On a side note: I heard on ESPN that MKG says he is graduating from UK and has no intentions on turning Pro next year. I am not saying he is not telling the truth, At this moment, but after the season and all the potential talk of where he will go in the draft and all the $$$$ is considered I think he will turn Pro. As much as I would love to see him in the Big Blue jersey next year, I would hate to see him blow a knee out and hurt his Pro career. I could dream a little and have only Davis turn pro and MKG, Jones, Teague, Wiltjer all come back added to incoming recruits Archie Goodwin, Alex Poythress, Willie Cauley and whomever signs late
