Probably true, but the tourney is one and done -- Young teams will always be vulnerable to the upset.

Well, sure. Everyone is vulnerable. But, for a young team, they still do have some players with experience.

And there defense is really what sets them a part. Well, I should say, the defense of Davis. The key for any team playing UK might be to actually go right at Davis and see if you can get him into foul trouble. If they can get him out of the game, then teams will be able to exploit UK's defense more.

Even then, however, UK is playing defense really well overall, I think. This isn't like a few years ago with Cousins and Wall trying to score 30-40 each time out and not caring about anything else. These guys seem to buy into the defensive approach.

But, like you said...in any setting where it is 1 and done, will the younger players be able to handle it. I think UK's guys are up to the task, and I'm not even a UK fan.

I saw somebody on Twitter put it very well. The Wildcats with Wall and Cousins had better players, but this year's team is a better team. These guys play well together and defensively are light years better than the Wall team.

UK plays in the ultra shitty SEC, though. You homers seem to forget that. The SEC is dogshit in basketball.

lmao..its not"ultra shitty" I'd put Tenn up against most teams right now.UK is making alot of these teams look bad and it hurts the sec.The Gators,Vols,Vandy,Bama, and Miss st are a good bunch of teams.Watch and see what Tenn does in the sec turney!

 

[BigBlueNation111]

Awesome bud!! I bet you didn't think they had a chance did ya?

 

[kramer1]

I thought they did before the game started because we beat GTOWN at their joint earlier this season. With 8 minutes to go I thought we were done, though. Then those shots by GTOWN to tie at the end of reg and OT#1.....kill me. We didn't shoot for shit and still won. We're dangerous.

Syracuse tommorrow night at 7 pm. I'll be trashed.

 

[cincygrad]

Dion Dixon pisses me off.... Why can't the dude make free throws?

BTW -- They really need to scrap those uniforms. The red is the same color as the paint at MSG - Meaning, it's orange. The claw pattern is gay.

It's incredibly gay. I loathe them.

BearcatDave says hi BTW.

 

[cincygrad]

Wait until we pull out the black version tomorrow night.

Tell Burley I said hi and we obviously miss his insight at the SportsHoopla.

I think I might need to pound an obscene number of beers tonight to get in shape for tomorrow night's game.
