March 21, 201016 yr I think Kansas deserved to be the favorite...and they are not overrated IMO. They had an off night and UNI played well. Case closed. I'll answer RockMom's question...if UK loses tonight, I don't think they are overrated either. I think on paper, Kansas had the best team with UK and Cuse close behind. Nuff said...tip time. Go CATS! And that's an honest answer, without recriminations, and I appreciate that!
March 21, 201016 yr Personally this opens it up to ANY team to win the title this year. It also means NO ONE is safe, including UK. I fear this game vs. Wake Forest and I hope my fears are unfounded. :scared:
March 21, 201016 yr And that's an honest answer, without recriminations, and I appreciate that! You have to take an honest look at it..Uk has tons of talent this year...Kansas has tons of talent this year...what is the difference? Experience. That gave KU the edge IMO. The Morris twins are tough, Aldrich is good, Collins is a gamer/winner. Then you throw in Taylor, Henry, Morningstar, and Reed...scary good team. If we can move on, I for one am glad KU is out!

I can move on! For the record, I'm not saying Kentucky was or IS overrated at all.
March 21, 201016 yr I can move on! For the record, I'm not saying Kentucky was or IS overrated at all. Ha ha...I know. I meant we (UK) can move on in the tourny. We are in total agreement RM.
March 21, 201016 yr The were/are considered the 2nd best overall team in the tournament. So, that makes them the 2nd favorite. Close enough, IMO, to ask the question. So, will you consider them overrated? Did you feel U of L was overrated last year as the overall #1 seed?
March 21, 201016 yr How can you say they weren't overrated. Who did they beat so convincingly that nearly every professional analyst took them to win the tournament and nearly everyone says they were clearly the favorite? They were clearly overrated. Good team, but overrated. I love how one game makes a team overrated. They were the #1 team in the country for the better part of the year. They were the overall favorite for a reason. Were they light years ahead of everyone else, no but come on. Nothing like the overrated chants based on one game.

Yet, they lost to a nine seed. A team as good as they were made out to be does not have games like they had tonight. Calling them over-rated does not mean that they aren't very, very good. It just means that the pedestal was too high for them.

March 21, 201016 yr Admittedly, I didn't watch Kansas a ton this year... But the times I did, I had a hard time seeing what the big deal was. Not at all surprised to see them going home early.
