Kentucky or the Field?

[HoosierAloha 30,057]

It is truly criminal that somehow a program is able to have that many talented players on a squad during a single season. It is really telling on what might be the ugliness of college recruiting in today's game. I was thinking it will take an Arizona, Duke etc. to match the size and length of their roster.

 

The year IU beat them in the Hall calishovemyfaceinfrontofanymedia was going on and on about a perfect 40 and 0 season.  I knew then it would only a matter of time before WWW bought him a team that could do it.

The field for sure. There are a lot of different scenarios that could play out. Plus use some game theory, everyone is picking Kentucky...go against that.

[Hovadipo 55,453]

I usually only do one, but this year could be the exception just for that reason.

OT a bit, but in general I'm having a much more difficult time than usual completing my bracket. Can't decide who wins Zona/Wisc, and having a tough time picking who will come out of the East and South.

I'm having bracket troubles this year too. I stared at the MSU Georgia game for about 5 minutes before I came to my senses. BTB is rubbing off on me and I'm over-analyzing everything.

Kentucky. At least if they won is win money. If they lost it would still be worth losing the money.


Now if you asked me to put my life on it... I'd say the field, then I'd go Tonya Harding at a UK practice :)

UK, sorry but i just dont see anyone beating them

UK, sorry but i just dont see anyone beating them

This I agree with.

Field! suck it UK

[coonhounds 8,863]

I think kentucky will get beat. Just a hunch

[TheWatShot 13,827]

I have them losing to Wisconsin in the Final Four. It should have happened last year.

The field. As good as this UK team is, pure odds say take the field all day, every day. Further, if it is possible to be overrated at 34-0 or whatever they are, I think that's the case. No legitimate competition since December. Its better to be battle tested. A fundamentally solid team with toughness and the ability to make shots will be required. There are a few of those in the field.

I'd take the field. You get the odds, and regardless of what anyone says I think they are beatable. I'd love to see them rematch with Wisky, I could see the Badgers beating them. They might not win, but I think Bucky is a team that could do it.

[JSHoosier 19,993]

The odds are better if you take the field.  UK has looked so beatable, yet no one has done it partly because other teams go brain dead down the stretch and because the SEasy is a joke.

[323SGrant 1,176]

UK unfortunately. I hope I'm wrong. BTW, I just saw the story of when UK beat the undefeated IU team in 1975. I didn't see all of the segment, but I don't believe they mentioned that our best player was injured. IU beat them convincingly earlier that year with a healthy May.

Field, they barely made it through the SEC cesspool.

I wish I felt as confident as most of you all. I am rooting for the them to lose more than I am for IU to win. I love hearing people talk about the last undefeated team. It may have happened before I was born but I am darn proud of it. Plus, I work with UK fans and I would never hear the end of it.

Oh, I'm not particularly confident when I say take the field.  Unfortunately UK is great on defense and on the boards, they can ride those two things a long ways.

I'll give credit to Kentucky and the season they have had so far but Im just tired of people talk about how Calipari doesn't get enough credit. Everyone keeps mentioning how he doesn't get enough credit for what he did a UMass and Memphis but for some reason everyone wants to forget how they blatantly cheated a both schools?

I know this is OT so I apologize but what does that say about us as a society or culture of sports where the media is acting like some great harm has been done to people who were CAUGHT CHEATING?! I've heard commentator after commentator say how unfortunate this whole situation is for Boeheim and even for Calipari. They were the ones who cheated and knew they were doing so. Sorry, rant over!

Just sayin'! lol
