January 27, 201214 yr I'm hoping the Cats win big, and Hickey has a huge game. Cats 76-64, Hickey 16 points and 7 assists.
January 27, 201214 yr UK wins it 72-53. Teague shuts up the Hickey fans who think he's better than Marquis.
January 27, 201214 yr I doubt the cats win by double digits here. LSU while not a great team they aren't bad either and seem to hang with some tough teams. Might be a struggle but cats win by about 7.
January 27, 201214 yr UK wins it 72-53. Teague shuts up the Hickey fans who think he's better than Marquis. He's had two chances to do it before and couldn't do it then. No chance he shuts us up now.
January 27, 201214 yr Hickey and Teague have very different roles on their teams. You can't compare them off sheer numbers.
January 27, 201214 yr Hickey and Teague have very different roles on their teams. You can't compare them off sheer numbers. Agreed. Although even with that being the case, Teague's #'s are better. :lol:
January 27, 201214 yr He's had two chances to do it before and couldn't do it then. No chance he shuts us up now. That's because everyone always thinks a solid KY born player is 10x better than what they really are. You guys want them to be better than they are and convince yourselves it's true to the point where you guys actually believe it to be true, regardless that all signs point to the contrary.
January 27, 201214 yr I'm calling for the upset here. I see Davis getting in early foul trouble, and LSU's bigs having a big day inside against the Cats. LSU 69 Kentucky 64

Signs like what? Hickey is having a great season at LSU. Is he not?
January 27, 201214 yr Agreed. Although even with that being the case, Teague's #'s are better. :lol: That's false. http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56354/marquis-teague http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56356/anthony-hickey Last I saw Hickey leads the SEC in steals as well.
January 28, 201214 yr HICKEY: MIN 30.4 FG% 39.4 3P% 34.5 FT% 58.3 REB 3.8 AST 4.0 BLK 0.2 STL 2.3 TO 2.0 PTS 10 TEAGUE MIN 32.1 FG% 41.3 3P% 30.2 FT% 68.9 REB 2.7 AST 4.4 BLK 0.4 STL 1.1 TO 3.0 PTS 10 I love Hickey, but I think its a little silly to say he's better than Teague. Teague leads in more categories, and he plays on a talent filled team where his numbers aren't going to look as good.

Teague leads in more categories, and he plays on a talent filled team where his numbers aren't going to look as good. Who has said that? All I have ever said he is as good as. Never said better. Prove to me he isn't as good as Teague. Teague is better because he shoots 41% to Hickey's 39%? Nope. Teague is better because he shoots 69% from the FT line to Hickey's 59%? Nope. Putrid numbers for both if you ask me. Teague is better because he averages 4.4 assists a game(playing with Davis, Jones, MKG, Lamb, Miller) while Hickey averages 4? I'll even add the argument that Teague should average even more assists considering the talent he is around. Teague averages more turnovers and less steals per game also. Long story short, Teague is the more heralded recruit and he may have a pro career that Hickey may not but at this point this year to act as though Teague is better than Hickey just because Hickey is from Kentucky is a disservice to Hickey and what he has accomplished thus far. It's refreshing to see a kid from Kentucky getting his shine on somewhere even if he isn't 'good enough' to play for UK.
