The House of Blue

Is it bad of me to be more nervous about Randle and Wiggins?

SEC teams does a stupid job out of conference. That's the problem. I will never believe that there are that many team better than UK in mid majors. I just don't.

I don't think they can't physically and athletically keep up with UK, or other SEC team at end of the season.

Mizzou also lost to Arkansas and Ole Miss. Any bets on what would have happened if UK had each of them on the schedule twice. By the same logic, I could argue that UK beat Tennessee and A&M while Mizzou lost to both of them.

I still contend that one week established a public perception of this team that it has not been able to shake. The back-to-back losses against Notre Dame and Baylor caused the team's ranking to plummet and it has been unable to recover since. Every time it seemed they were digging themselves out of that hole, they had a loss that dropped them right back down again (the same kind of losses that almost every other good but inconsistent team was suffering). Add that, I believe, UK is being measured against the past three teams at UK instead of the top 40 teams in the country THIS year.

Once you get past the top 8-10 teams, you could throw the next 40 in a hat and find little significant difference in the quality of those teams. UK would certainly be among those 40.

That's what I like to hear.

Well thanx for that.
