Our course I believe that .. Yes Hurley >>>>>> Cal .. but look at talent . Does UConn have 4 guys that will make pro's soon. Their freshman is slick , but we have Rob . Reed/ Reeves matches up well with their guards .. again like I said , IF we play the right rotations . Edwards and DJ get eaten alive . And I said we bring our A game .
Dan: I truly feel your anger and pain. I agree with you that with our "A" game UK could win against UConn
I agree with you and others on the coaching part.
Where I feel the difference is in the type of players we have versus other teams.
Yes, UK has elite talent but our talent seems to be forced on NBA careers while players on teams like UConn focus is is winning a NCAA title.
People will say our guys want to win a title and I get that but I haven't seen a top team with this kind of talent have the same issues over and over as we do; injuries that take forever; minutes between players that is highly questionable; what seems to be an offensive set run only to highlight an individual; toughness or lack of.
These last few years is a like a Jekel and Hyde program. Forrest Gump said it best when he said life is like a box of chocolates. That statement described UK basketball to a Tee.
It hard to get excited when you have Captain Hook as your captain.
I watched the press conference with my guys who are UL fans with their new coach. Forget it is UL and listen to this guy. He is full of energy, excitement, laid out a plan, wants to win. Not once did I get the sense he was a used car salesman. Made me sick to think about it really. Why can't the, well, once best program in college basketball have this kind of excitement?
No, we have a fan base that is split as bad as the people in America is over their elected leaders. There is no excitement in this program right now and has not been for some time.
We belong in the Elite 8 for sure and the Final 4. This years team had the pieces to do that and here we are again, pissed off and watching others.
