December 5, 200916 yr This thread is cracking me up! I mean this was a great win by UK and a good start, but to say this is like 1996 is hilarious. This same UNC team lost to Syracuse by 16. Nobody said that. It was a "feeling during the 28-2 run", which I can agree with because I had the same feeling.

December 5, 200916 yr Author Nobody said that. It was a "feeling during the 28-2 run", which I can agree with because I had the same feeling. I got that feeling too. It was extremely exciting to watch. Love Coach Cal's comments after the game.
December 5, 200916 yr They didn't even start 8-0 in '96. :sssh: No but they were only 2 games all season that team didn't show up. UMASS and the Miss State SEC title game. This UK team can be good but it's not 1996 yet. That team had more talent than any college team I've ever seen, or will probably ever see again.
December 5, 200916 yr Just a couple of thoughts on the game today from me: 1) UK absolutely controlled the game the 1st half and showed how good they can be when they are clicking (and there is still plenty room for improvement) 2) Wall is the player that completely elevates us to the next level, look at what happened after he came out with cramps 3) Bledsoe struggled for the first 38:00 minutes of the game today but hit some BIG time free throws down the stretch to seal the deal, what a way to come through when we needed it 4) Anyone else think that Cousins is a blackhole? 5) Patterson will be a top 10/15 draftpick next year 6) Wall right now has to be the leader for the POY 7) Plenty room for improvement but I like what I saw, great game!
December 6, 200916 yr Cal said he was hitting the recruiting road tonight. Wonder where he is heading? The game today should make this an easy sell. Maybe someone with twitter updates can post it for us.

He's up there, but have you seen Evan Turner? I think he's the leader easily at this point.
December 6, 200916 yr Maybe someone with twitter updates can post it for us. The only thing i've got from him is thanking the crowd for unbelievable support.
December 6, 200916 yr He's up there, but have you seen Evan Turner? I think he's the leader easily at this point. Not anymore out 8 weeks.
December 6, 200916 yr Not anymore out 8 weeks. Ouch, really? Missed that report, I've been out all day.
December 6, 200916 yr This thread is cracking me up! I mean this was a great win by UK and a good start, but to say this is like 1996 is hilarious. This same UNC team lost to Syracuse by 16. It's so funny how after the game you minimize UNC. After they dismantled MSU, who I believe was ranked No. 2 at the time, everyone was saying UK would get run off the court, now you mention the Syracuse game, that's funny. I didn't compare this year's team to the 96 team, I just said the 28-2 run was reminiscent of what that team could do to other teams. You completely mistook what I was saying, and tried to turn it into something it was not. Nobody said that. It was a "feeling during the 28-2 run", which I can agree with because I had the same feeling. That run was simply scintillating, as Clark Kellogg said eloquently.
December 6, 200916 yr We need to sit back and appreciate what we have with John Wall. He is a one and dunner. There will be very few come through the greatest program in college basketball history, with that ability.
December 6, 200916 yr It goes without saying, but I'm really glad Wall is OK... Even if he wasn't at UK, it's just a pleasure to watch him play the game.

You completely mistook what I was saying, and tried to turn it into something it was not. That run was simply scintillating, as Clark Kellogg said eloquently. I never once thought UK would get run off the court by UNC. I've thought MSU was very overrated though. And I never minimized UNC, I did say it was a great win and a good start. I think you are trying to put what other people have said and make it look like I said it.
December 6, 200916 yr We need to sit back and appreciate what we have with John Wall. He is a one and dunner. There will be very few come through the greatest program in college basketball history, with that ability. Why are we talking about UCLA?
