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.

That is the scary thing Phil, they have absolutely no idea what they are doing, they are playing street ball and all five starters can score 25 if they need to. Very dangerous.

Who is in the SEC this year anyways? Tennessee? They are quality, I know Mississippi State is playing well. I watched Florida play 'Cuse the other night and thought they were overrated.

Florida is good. Syracuse is really good. Better than Kentucky. You want scary? What Syracuse did at the Garden was scary. Way more impressive than anything Kentucky's done.

I like Syracuse this year, and I think it would be a good game with Kentucky if they got to play, but I wasn't impressed with Florida at all, watching the game I felt their talent was two notches below Syracuse.

Looks like a pretty deep year this year, deeper then I thought coming into the season where I was ready to crown Kansas, but honestly, I have a feeling that Texas will handle them.

Bill Self always chokesgets out coached in big games, and it wasn't for Calapari having a mental breakdown and never calling a timeout in the championship, he would have choked in that game also.

Well I agree with this- in fact I told my wife yesterday that Syracuse might be the best team in the country. My mama is an SU grad, and they are NY's team, so I have rooted for them all my life. What Boeheim has done this year is incredible after losing his top 3 scorers, if I had to pick a coach for my team it would be him. But UK isn't too far behind right now. It's a 4 horse race right now for best team between KU, Syracuse, UK, and Villanova in my opinion.

Biggest surprises, though, go to Harvard and William & Mary. NOBODY thought they would be good. William & Mary has never even made the tournament and they have a legit at-large profile right now.
