Hey Bennett, how is that little undefeated streak going? Oh...oh wait... Yeah, we lost to Boston College.....and the referees of the Duke game. No excuses for the BC loss but I was watching the Duke game and it seemed like almost every single call favored Duke in some way.

I would have preferred a no call on the charge, Boeheim def deserved a T, you can't sprint out from the coaches box screaming & point fingers at the officials face.

I can definitely see why you say that, but the same exact play happened except a Duke player had the ball and a Syracuse player was defending and the foul was once again on Syracuse. I wouldn't have had issue with the calls if there was some consistency but in this game there was absolutely none. Agree about Boeheim as well, but he can do no wrong in my eyes because he is Jim Boeheim. Think the fact that this is the first ever non-exhibition game he got ejected from in all of the years he has coached says a lot about the quality of the call as well.

I'll give you that, plus you know on Coach K's court there is no consistency with fouls... MSU walked into the sweet 16 last year with no shot in hell after Coach K got the Refs & game adjusted to his liking. At the end of the day though Syracuse will still end the season in the top 5 & most likely a 1 seed with a good chance of cutting down the nets in March.

My most recent acquisitions Signed by the whole team and Coach Cal and On that note, I somewhat dread watching this game against Florida tomorrow night. Those guys are playing pretty dang good right now and it COULD get ugly. Those are beautiful, SS. This year has been a perplexing one to say the least. The UF game reminded me of all of the 'Cats losses this year. They had Florida by 7 with around 9 minutes to go, but instead of extending that lead, they went cold and got confused. With the exception of the MSU game, that's been the Cats fate all year. They have the talent to beat anyone, but lack the killer instinct at the key times. I like the increase in zone D that Cal's been employing lately. That will frustrate a lot of teams in March. I can still envision a Final Four for this team, but if they have one of their "off" nights, it's also plausible that they lose as early as the Sweet 16.

Emerald Enthusiast Very well said. Kentucky could easily get hot & cut down the nets in March. They can also get bounced out in the Round of 32. I like the cats as a sleeper, interested to see how the seeding pans out.

I like the cats as a sleeper, interested to see how the seeding pans out. I'm depressed. They had two chances to upset UF and couldn't quite get it done. Nonetheless, I'm happy with the effort in the SECT, and I hope they carry that energy into the Big Dance. If the opening round goes as I expect, they'll face a tough task in Wichita State in the Round of 32.

I hate UK from the very bottom of my soul.
It might cause me physical harm to say it, but GO BLUE. HAIL TO THE VICTORS.

This is the worst moment ever for me as a sports fan. I was depressed in '97 when UK lost to Arizona, but I felt like we lost to a team of similar talent. How we lost to Uconn after beating the teams we did over the last 3 weeks is completely perplexing to me. As much as I hate Uconn with a seething, unyielding, ever-increasing passion, all due respect to Kevin Ollie for getting the best out of his team.
