in actuality the 2014 team was better than the 2011 team

 

[ricardo malta]

2014 kentucky team was a preseason top 5 iirc
to say they shouldn't have made it isn't true because they always had the talent
that was a helluva run though

Brah, I don't care about all that preseason hype, I look at the product throughout the entire season.

They were an 8 seed in the tourney and nobody had high expectations, deservedly so. They most certainly overachieved.

Yea that UK team had a catostrophic collapse in the regular season.

But they got hot at the right time in post season play.

Which team u talkin about?

The Randle and Young UK team

Oh I thought he was saying 2014 cuz thats the only year that i saw mentioned


Edit: nvm i look at the years by finishing year so im thinking of 2015

yeah ok
you also said duke overachieved this year

Yes, and your point is?

You realize preseason rankings are based on speculation and hypotheticals right? That's what you would rather base expectations off of, as opposed to using actual games played?

That 2013-2014 was not an elite Kentucky team and have to give credit to Cal for getting them to the championship game.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

uk overachieved that year but you're making it seem like they were a cinderella team or something

That's the problem with blue bloods - everybody expects Final 4 or bust.

Nobody expected that Kentucky team to get past the round of 32 and for them to run through the teams they did: Wichita State, Louisville, Michigan, Wisconsin - that's a cinderella run to me.

 

[quise2024]

Speak for yourself. I expect at least a deep run every year we in

Their season wasn't that bad, they just couldn't beat Florida. The Gators stopped them from winning the SEC regular season and SEC tournament

 

[tyevvyotcu]

I remember lots of people picking UK over Wichita man
not many people believed in Wichita that year
dude is creating his own narratives lol
plus UK was never that bad to be a 8 seed
should've been like a 5

[quise2024]

Did he get his degree or was he just pushed out ?

 

[dacomeup]

Coach K becoming the biggest roster turnover guy in the game

Yes, allowing someone to get a degree from Duke then going to play somewhere else and log actual PT is a terrible move

 

[outkast9984]

he got his degree...hes going to be eligible right away...guy was injured both years he was there..his knees were shot...yea i dont see how allowing dude to get degree is a sketch move...

 

[dreck]

Edmond Sumner to the draft. Hope he does well after a long rehab process. He deserves it after the bad luck he had this year.

 

[tyevvyotcu]

bluiett coming back?

 

[outkast9984]

Giles declared...good for him

 

[jon4rd]

Giles declared...good for him

Did he get an agent?

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Dude, you're the only one who keeps mentioning that narrative. It's old and dead, stop trying to drum up convo on it and bait people.

He's a better recruiter and salesman than he is an X's and O's guy but he's also a damn good coach. Case closed.

Nah. I still see it plenty, maybe not one here. but look at Cowherd.


Plenty people don't respect Cal and Roy WIlliams like they should.
