I tell ya, that Duke title in 2015 is way overblown and inflated. They didn't play a single team that had a chance to beat them until the game with Wisconsin in the title game. That title was gift wrapped.

BBUK a great add in about the cpap machine. First I got the sleep disorder fixed and Now I also utilize the bipap machine.
In my opinion it would just be the right thing to do. Don't even think twice
I don't mean that he's wasted now and is no good, but I believe he's in his "Jordan-with-the-Wizards" era. Still good, but not dominating the game anymore. Just my 2 cents.
Ya know you could get a uk national champions 20_ _ and then just fill in the last two digits that night after they win number 9 and post it on fb to make it yourself look like a genius
True, but college hoops will be abysmal next year. Can you think of a team that will have anywhere close to the same amount of talent as UK if Cal lands Bamba? This isn't 2015, when there were three or four legit teams.
Why wouldn't Cal be able to play man to man? This isn't the NBA, where a guy like Vanderbilt would have to chase Iverson all over the court. UNC used Pinson and Jackson last year to chase faster guys, and their length made up the difference. I look for UK's length to provide them a similar defensive counter to opposing teams.
Bamba gives UK the rim protection to deflate the hopes of about 90% of potential opponents. Getting him is obviously huge if Cal can do it.
Cal will also have matchup advantages everywhere on the court. Knox, Washington, (hopefully Johnson), Vanderbilt. These guys can simply shoot over zones or over their defenders the way Jackson did with UNC last season. Having an elite point guard set up the offense will only capitalize on UK's talent gap.
Welcome to the board.
I like your post but I have to disagree with one thing. Washington won't be playing any shooting guard. He's more of a stronger Trey Lyles, a future stretch 4 in the NBA who will make his living with rebounding, mid-range jumpers, and defense.
Vanderbilt will likely play some 2 (if Diallo leaves and UK doesn't land Johnson) because he has the athleticism/quickness to defense perimeter players.
If UK gets Bamba then you could be right. Keep Diallo and UK will have so much depth.
Think Bamba, Green, Knox, Diallo and Vanderbilt and back ups of Gabriel, PJ, Richards, Shai, Baker and SKJ.
That is nine 5 stars and two 4 stars
Zona is gonna be tough next year. Love my uk cats but zona will be the early season fav I believe
