Looking Ahead for Tournament Bogeymen
Are there any teams that UK has played so far that I'd be afraid to see again?
Not Oklahoma, I thought we were better than they were.
Not Notre Dame, they just didn't have enough scoring punch after Hansbrough to be too fearsome.
Not North Carolina--hell, no! We played awful and still should've beat them in their own house, I have no worries about seeing them in the Sweet Sixteen.
Not Indiana, they can be dangerous but our athleticism bested them once before and would best them again.
Not Connecticut, I got a feeling that UK got a face first look at UConn's best game. Wouldn't be surprised if the Huskie don't play as well all year as they did in Maui. Not to diminish Kemba--he's the man!--but the rest of the team wasn't so scary that I think UK couldn't figure them out next time.
Not Portland, East Tennessee or Boston U either. I doubt we will see them again but none of them should beat us.
HOWEVER, there is one team I'd rather not see again this year: Washington. I thought they were just like us, only not quite as good. But come March, they just might be more us than we are! And that's scary.
