NCAA Hoops

College hoops now deep in conference play has been pretty good.

Anyone think Kentucky can run the table? So hard to do, I'm thinking they blow through the weak SEC like always (exception of Florida for a while there). Put them in the ACC or Big 10 and they don't have the runs they have. Anyways, I think they go regular season and conference tourney no prob, but lose in maybe elite 8.

What you think?

Hard to say. My Ole Miss Rebels, not an elite team, took them to overtime before losing. The Rebels are on the bubble, but beating Florida last night with a 3 at the 4 second mark helped. They are on a six game win streak, but as you say, in the weak SEC.

Bring on football season. August can't get here quick enough.

Purdue fan here. Still seen as outsiders to make the tourney, but with a few more easy B1G games on the schedule and a weak bubble, they still have a good shot.

Not a UK fan by any means, but the talent gap between them and the rest of the country is ridiculous. They're always at or near the top in that category, but this year they've taken it to a whole new level. Wouldn't bet on them running the table, because they still get so much production from freshmen, but having some relatively experienced kids like the Harrison twins and Cauley-Stein has helped them through some poor performances. I do enjoy watching them play.

I went to UK about 10 years ago, so I'm a little biased. With that said I would be ecstatic if the Cats go unbeaten, but with some close calls already to unranked teams we'll have to wait and see. I do have a Behike saved for if they are able to pull it off though. GO CATS!!

U of Washington looked promising at the start of the season...lets see what happens

Well the NCAA finally ruled on my 'Cuse. Not sure how I feel about it. I'm not sure punishing head coaches for actions others take who are not on the coaching staff is the correct action. The school overall yes, but suspending the coach, taking away tournaments for the current kids that had nothing to do with what happened years ago, just doesn't sit right. Universities are all about the money, hit them hard in the bank account, don't punish current student athletes on the roster.

I think Wisconsin, Duke, Virginia can give Kentucky a good game perhaps even beat them. Beyond these 3 teams, not likely to lose.

I think Kentucky is a lock. Hell there bench is better than most teams!

Not often you'd bet one team even money against the rest of the field, but you'd almost have to with this Kentucky team. Of course there are teams that could beat them on the right night, but it will take an almost perfect game to knock them off.
