Kentucky goes undefeated in the regular season. They will make it more of a goal as the regular season rolls on plus the SEC is horrible in basketball, hence why they are good in football (strategic hiring) as the PC folks will call it.
Actually the two calls where they called Kentucky out of bounds in OT where they weren't out of bounds they did have the ball and it had a great effect on the game.
It's not an accident when Kentucky "survives". In basketball, superior talent trumps all. Give me UK and give Calipari say Pepperdine. We will go against each other. I will win.
Give me Lebron James, a 2nd round pick and 3 guys out of the league, I get past the 1st round at least. Sure I will cheat my ass off and Lebron will be instructed to drive everytime. I need 2 points. It is literally unstoppable.
I have nice futures with them so I hope they are around for awhile....depending on the matchups I think NI has more staying power because there style of play is better suited for the tournament.
