That is 11 inches but who is counting

Not sure where you are getting the heights, but both our guards (Gasser + Koenig) are 6'4 and Hayes is 6'8, per the Badger website.

And I was using the height with Alex Poythress :doh:, so you are right. It is an 8 inch height difference over 5 guys. Far from insurmountable.

I'm pretty sure you just said Hayes is 6'4 and 6'8.....

So he is interchangeable. This is outstanding.

I'll tell you what........an easy solution to stopping Stainedbeard would be to carry a bag of Cheetos out on the floor and a TV with cartoons playing on it.

He'd stop in his tracks.

Ok. That was good.

I'm kind of curious where UK fans draw the line as far as dissapointment.

If they make the Final 4, but not win, will fans be despondent? :noidea:

The Final 4 seems just about guaranteed.

Currently residing in the belly of the beast.

Expectations this year are Championship or Bust at this point. Despite the reputation for unreasonable expectations, most fans were actually pretty happy making the crazy run last year even though they didn't win.

Ironically, I think had they dropped a game earlier in the season, then FF would still be considered a good goal, but with the undefeated season in their sights they are going to be disappointed with anything less.

I meant Gasser. Nigel is obviously not a guard. I was too busy trying to fix the smiley (apparently putting parentheses around them changes them...who knew?).

I took ESPN from the starters from the last game each team played. Any discrepancies could go both ways.

When talking heads and fans of other schools admit that UK has played and beaten a good team giving UK a tiny modicum of the respect they give every other team in the tourney......{instead of saying they haven't been challenged, they haven't played anyone, or my favorite...wait until you play so and so....} then I think a reasonable UK fan will accept that....and not be despondent

Xavier's walking a fine line. They want to keep the upset going, but don't want Arizona to get scared enough that they wake up. Right now, Zona is really in a lull, and it is working great for the Musketeers.

Dude's going to throw on double knee braces and crush in those leagues.
