So this Kentucky really that good?
@Sensitive Blake Griffin
auburn is awful but I don't think any team can beat us when it comes march time. The different wrinkles I keep seeing in our offense has been fun as hell to see grow and improve. We have the best front court, Andrew Harrison has been playing phenomenally late, Tyler Ulis is the most underrated guard in america and Devin Booker is one of the best shooters in college ball. Karl-Towns is the best big (to me) in the country. I have a similar feeling as the Anthony Davis year, people doubted us the whole year but even in the beginning I never doubted them (or this team) even in close games I still never thought we were going to lose (that year, and this year). If someone beats us in the tournament it will have to take a performance of a lifetime by an ENTIRE team because we have so many good players that we can throw at you. March is all about matchups like the nba playoffs. We have a matchup we can exploit at multiple positions at any single time during the game, even our bench, there's no drop off, another matchup problem.

the biggest surprises is how good our freshman are, I already knew towns was going to be phenomenal but we didn't know how the other freshman would be. Some people thought Ulis wouldn't even play until his second year, yet he is an essential part of our team if we want to win a championship. We knew Devin Booker could shoot but we had no idea that he would be a really good defender like he is (think Klay Thompson). We also thought Ulis would get pushed around because of his height but he is one of our best defenders and completely changes the look of games with his defense. Trey Lyles was injured at the beginning of the year but dude is silky smooth, the mid range jumper is fukking automatic. Without those freshman being as good as they are, we would be VERY beatable.

Zags escape. Really hope we get the west 1. We've been shafted by the committee too many times as far as location goes.

Roy Williams had some weird comments about the UNC crowd not giving them "enough help". He seemed a little mad the crowd didn't recognize that he ran Dean's "Four Corner" offense to begin the game. I understand he's emotional in the wake of losing his mentor, but those kids don't remember anything about Dean Smith.

Not a UNC or Duke fan, so I don't have a horse in the race, but that team has underachieved this season. We'll see how they finish out the season against State and Duke at the Dean Dome, but the last thing Roy needs to do is criticize the people in the stands.

He has a history of saying weird shyt while at UNC. His legacy will be mixed, especially if he doesn't win another chip. Can't knock him for what he's done. Just an oddball coach who at times makes oddball personnel decisions.

Meanwhile, Cat cookin' lowkey tonight... all he has to do is convert. Lookin' like somebody needs to comeback another year. :mjpls:

Roy dead wrong for talking bad about the fans when the team barely done anything to get us excited. Ill give him a pass though cause Im sure he been in his feelings since Dean passed.

He need to get on his job though. Fans aint gonna cheer for mediocre just cause they rock the UNC jersey.

I know I'm in the minority, but I still look at this as the premeir North Carolina college basketball rivalry. Always has, always been, to me.
