The NCAA initially cleared Rose to play. I have a feeling the reporting would be a little different, say, if Rose had gone to Duke. Similar to Corey Magette taking money from a high school coach via sports agents while in high school prior to going to Duke. Magette admitted it and so did the high school coach, but Duke hasn't had to forfeit it's 1999 Final Four. How come there's no outcry about that? Not saying Cal is a saint, but all these college coaches work in the "gray" area.

My original post was a JOKE!!!

I am a Kentucky fan, have been for a few years. They really do have a very good team this year.

Cool. Obviously, I didn't take it that way. Everybody likes to take a stab at Cal whenever they get the chance. I guess that comes with all the exposure we've been getting from the national media. We're going to have a lot of fun this year. Kansas is the only team that I've seen that scares me.

If Kentucky were to play Kansas today, in Chicago (neutral court), Kentucky would win by 10-15.

They are just f'n around in this game against Indiana.

They remind me exactly of Memphis, except Memphis had Dorsey who was horrible offensively, Kentucky has 5 guys that can score.

Let's relax a little bit. Those are hardly classic UConn and UNC teams they beat. This is the same team that needed a buzzer beater to get by Miami (OH), gave up 92 points to Sam Houston State and needed OT to beat a crappy Stanford team. Let's see what happens when they get into SEC play.

I think everyone's so used to seeing Kentucky wet the bed early in the year that they're overrating this team for not screwing up terribly yet.

You know I hate UK basketball, especially now being inundated by it in this town, but this team is GOOD and getting better.

I doubted them early after their mediocre efforts against Miami (OH) and Sam Houston State but I'm a believer now. They will steamroll the SEC.

You should think about this.....
1.UK starts 3 FR., a SO. that averaged about 7 minutes a game last year, and a JR. that has to learn a whole new system. That coupled with limited practice time before the season and the fact that they are THE game for some of those teams makes those games close. In regards to Miami - they play everybody tough. Cincinnati only beat them by 4 and I think they just played Dayton down to the wire.
2. They are only going to get better.
3. SEC is improved, but that doesn't mean much because it couldn't have gotten much worse.

4. They would beat Syracuse by 12+ if they played now, 18+ if they play in the tourney.
