Still so confident? Kentucky needs to keep scoring or this will go WV's way.

Really, which ones? I'm curious to know which ones are as flawed as the Cats or do you want to just wait until next week when they are out of the tourney to talk about it?

Halfcourt offense and free throw shooting are actually two of the things UK is best at.
The whole 'kentucky likes to get up and down and score in transition because they suck in the halfcourt' ignores the fact that this years team is completely different than last years. Every time I hear it I just assume that whoever said it hasn't watched many UK games this year.
This team plays best in grind it out halfcourt games. Being young, they sometimes get anxious and try to play to fast, but its not because they can't play halfcourt.
I feel really good about this team if everyone shows up. These first two games we've won with half our players playing well. If everyone shows up for the same game, they are unstoppable.

We CRUSHED Florida playing a GOOD halfcourt offense. As a team we shoot over 71% from the free throw line. We missed a few this game, yes. Unless you know what you're talking about though just flap your lips amongst morons so you won't be called for it.
For the season we shoot free throws better than Kansas, Pitt, Ohio State, Florida...how many teams do you want me to list? I've got about 250 of them here.

Well that's a big "If". It also applies to pretty much any tourney team.

I assume you have more to your argument than we beat Florida and shoot 71% plus from ft? C'mon, you know the weakness of this team as much as I do. Age these kids up and give them a real coach and they might win a MNC
Ohio State, George Mason, West Virginia, Marquette, Syracuse, Washington, North Carolina, Michigan, Texas, Cincinnati, Temple, San Diego State, Florida, UCLA, Kansas State, Pittsburgh, Florida State, Morehead State, Richmond, Kansas.
The above is a list of all the teams entering today's games that shoot free throws WORSE than Kentucky. For those counting, that would be 20 teams. There were also two teams tied with Kentucky, which means only 9 teams that shoot free throws better than Kentucky, and due to bracketing Kentucky can only face 2 of them, at most.
I assume you have more to your argument than "statistics lie, and I said so"? Actually, I don't assume that. You've made the limits of your argument quite clear already. Haha.

I'm glad Kentucky won.
Playing Huggie Bear always makes me nervous. Cal? Not so much.
That said, we still need to get past Mason. I must not get ahead of myself.

This team has weaknesses for sure, consistency under pressure being the main one, but if you bring up bullshit stereotypes about hyperathletic one and dones that play undisciplined streetball that weren't even that accurate last year as an argument against this year's team and coach cal in general, than I must assume you have no idea what the fuck you are talking about.
For the most part this team has won by playing disciplined, highly patient half court basketball combined with relentless defense for the whole possession. This is not the fast paced transition scoring team people say it is.
You can make the argument that recruiting one and dones is not the best way to win a national title, and I may agree, but to use that as a basis for criticizing this team just shows you haven't paid attention.
