March 29, 201511 yr I guess you haven't paid much attention to college threads during the year. Over the last two months when people have talked about teams who could beat UK, for most of the year people on here have said Wisconsin is not that good, they are no threat to UK, they don't play defense. UK beat them last year with a worst team, and that shows UK should definitely handle them this year. I been saying most of the year that Wisconsin is a team that worries me, and those are some of the responses I have gotten back when I have said that. So since I assume you wouldn't want to take the time to look up how you are wrong on that, I would have no problem looking it up and bringing up the post and threads that shows this if you would like? Funny thing then that when a poll was posted that asked BGPers who they feared the most in regards to UK losing in the tournament that Wisconsin was the team that won the poll. In fact, they were 5 votes ahead of Duke who came in second. Maybe someone was saying that to you but I think the poll shows that BGP in general has a healthy respect for Wisky. Here's the link to the poll: http://bluegrasspreps.com/college-basketball/who-do-you-301177.html

March 29, 201511 yr I've said all along that Wisconsin was the team that worries me the most. @Wireman has stated he has no fear of the Cats playing Wisconsin that the Cats would easily beat them around 11-15 points. Do you still feel that way Wireman?

At the end of the year wasn't it like right around conference tournament time correct? Take a look at what some has said about Wisconsin most of the season and you will see the exact comments I am talking about. Shoot even in the prediction thread there are still some who say Wisconsin doesn't worry them.

Do you still feel that way Wireman? Very true! I am interested in hearing what he thinks now.

Well I take credit when I am right, but when I am proven wrong I will admit that too and I was wrong on this. I just went back to a lot of threads where Wisconsin was talked about, and most of the comments I was referring to about people thinking Wisconsin was not that good, and UK would have no problem with them came from about only 2 or 3 posters on here. Which obviously 2 or 3 posters doesn't mean the majority of people were thinking that, so I was wrong on that.

I guess I was the one who didn't play close enough attention to college threads this year. It was only a couple of people who were saying these things. So you were right, I was wrong.

A couple of people that really defend their position over and over can seem like more.
March 29, 201511 yr Just finished reading all posts................It is amazing how bad a 38-0 team can be....................or so it seems........Hope UK can pull off 2 more in spite of all these apparent and transparent flaws.........Again, off topic........Can we get some broadcasters that are not so ACC affiliated such as Len Elmore. He has dug at UK and Calipari all season. There is bound to be someone who can call a game w/o throwing in the hate.
March 29, 201511 yr I've said all along that Wisconsin was the team that worries me the most. @Wireman has stated he has no fear of the Cats playing Wisconsin that the Cats would easily beat them around 11-15 points. Do you still feel that way Wireman? I don't like what I saw out of Kentucky against ND. Their defense was weak and I felt like they were playing the undefeated streak as much as the Irish. They seemed to be under a lot of pressure. That being said, I still think Kentucky wins, but I'm going to go 8-12 points now.
March 29, 201511 yr Man was that a game! Grant, Jackson and Auguste all have bright futures ahead of them.
March 29, 201511 yr Don't mistake Auguste's performance last night as evidence of him being a great player. He did a great job going to the basket and getting stickbacks off missed shots. What did he do besides that? I can think of maybe one basket he had all night where he made a shot with someone guarding him. Maybe he is a future NBA player but I didn't see anything in last night's game that showed me that. If Marcus Lee played for ND, he could have done just what Auguste did last night in that game.
March 29, 201511 yr My first guess would have been Jerry Tipton. I thought the voice sounded like Larry.
March 29, 201511 yr I thought the voice sounded like Larry. You're probably right. I didn't hear the voice I was just saying Tipton would have been my guess based on his history.
March 29, 201511 yr I thought most analysts all year were saying that Wisconsin matched up with UK better than any other team because of their size and athletes.
