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 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.
