Perfect Regular Season for UK

[Arizona_Sting]

For those of you that don't know who Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is, if we face your team in the tourney you'll find out fast when your best offensive player gets locked down.

I want Kentucky so bad. They haven't played anyone with our size and athleticism this year. I'll take Rondae and Stanley over their wings any day and our bigs match their size.

TJ McConnell would harass the Harrison twin defensively, and put tons of pressure on them that they didn't get in the SEC. I'm not saying AZ would win, but I promise it would be a close game and come down to the final minutes. If anything Arizona is a bad matchup for Kentucky and not vise-versa. When we play our A game we can beat anyone.

Texas is probably the second biggest team in the NCAA and Kentucky played them. The problem isn't starting size. UK starts a team with 3 guys over 6'10" and 2 6'6" guards. The issue is the next line also has 2 7 footers. 5 players and 25 fouls to give on an oppositions big men.

Ha. Okay. Texas doesn't compare to the talent AZ has. AZ isn't just size, they have skill too and an experienced PG with two wings that'll be playing in the NBA next year. They are also deeper than people give them credit for… York, Pitts and PJC are all very solid backup guards that can shoot and Ristic is a 7 footer that has shown flashes of being a very good player. UK isn't the only team that has the luxury of bringing a legit 7 footer off the bench.

That being who? UK's best offensive player changes from game to game....UK team shares the ball as well as anyone in the country

That post wasn't directed @ Kentucky, trust me I know they have a balanced attack. That was just in general.

Arizona is also very balanced offensively, which is why I think these two teams are fairly similar in many regards including their size, athleticism and defense.

God Bless I hate UK fans.

LOL! Nah...there are one or two good ones...if you look long enough you will find them.

I live in KY. Lived in Morehead for a while. Went to school in Lexington for a couple years. I know all about UK fans.

I don't know all about UK fans and I am a UK fan... Too bad you feel that way...

I'm sure I would hate other fan bases if I lived in the middle of them, but UK fans are by far the most obnoxious sports fans I've ever had to deal with.

I try to be a decent UK fan and sometimes succeed...but I know what you mean. The arrogance of some UK fans can grate on most everyone's nerves.....mine included.

I don't like to be lumped with that kind of UK fan....but it usually happens....asi es la vida!

I honestly had one fan tell me that UK should get all of the calls from the refs because they are UK and they deserve them. That was the day that I went from disliking UK to hating them.

Yeah....I've had that said to me.

My response: "not necessarily" A call should only be given to the player or team who deserves redress

 

[Runeman]

Looks to me that Kentucky and Arizona are currently playing the best basketball....maybe add Wisconsin to that mix...not sure about the competition they are getting. would not surprise me to see those two teams play real soon and then we shall see. As far as KY fans on this site; I see no issues and certainly see no obnoxious behavior. Arizona fans have that spot taken on this site. All one has to do is review all the name calling and ignorant comments....and there are many.

It ends today!

Haha, just hoping to keep it within 10.

UK would wear them out. It would be similar to the Arkansas game today, if not worse. Hope you get your wish

If Notre Dame can play Kentucky as well as they played NC, that might be a game. They drove the lane all day and kicked the ball out for the 3 point shot and made them. To me, that's the only chance....and it will take an off day for Kentucky for that to work. These past few days, Culley-Stein has really stepped up and has out played Carl Towns. Lee, who last year I thought would be great, hasn't shown up yet. Still could play full time for any other team; just not Kentucky.

I thought Duke got the easiest road, UK got a very tough road IMO. Kansas, ND, Maryland.....tough squads

Cauley-Stein said he was going to step it up, before the SEC Tourney. He felt like he hadn't been doing what he was capable of......I think he stepped it up big-time.

Runeman.....you and Jonvi get your UK apparel out of mothballs and help UK win that natty!

Im a casual fan this year but the West bracket looks the toughest. South bracket will be a mess by Sweet 16
