Who is "Goliath"?I enjoy the games too.It's exciting to see David knock off Goliath.
Thank our big shots falling on their face - again.There is no doubt in my mind that we'd be going to another ff, Mangok would've been back as well as Anas. Oh well, I'm still enjoying some of these games.
Frankly, I believe we would probably have gotten beat by some high seed. With Mangok and Anas back, we might have done some damage - if they were playing at peak strength. But there was a reason Lee and Lewis found their actual competitive levels as the season wore on. Turns out, they ended up being our primary weaknesses. Sorry, just the way it is.Thank our big shots falling on their face - again.
Sounds like a ball of confusion. The kids played well except for the last game. No doubt they got backstabbed by actions beyond their control, and that was demoralizing for them and everyone else. Meanwhile, the big shots slither on, the little guys take the rap.Frankly, I believe we would probably have gotten beat by some high seed.

The team wasn't the same after the win over UNC (when the ban came), the players played differently, and even coach said he lightened things up.Frankly, I believe we would probably have gotten beat by some high seed.

Uhhh...what?The 2 biggest goliaths left would be NC and Kansas,but if you thought I was referring to UK as Goliath,then I'll let you continue with that...Who is "Goliath"?
Didn't think that at all. Everyone thought this was a bridge year for UK.Uhhh...what?The 2 biggest goliaths left would be NC and Kansas,but if you thought I was referring to UK as Goliath,then I'll let you continue with that...
With the primary actors returning, losing the fading Lee and Lewis will be a step up.Again, UL had a real chance this year. You guys had scoring and defense. That's what's going to win it this year.No one here could telll me one team that could stop UL from doing those two things.
This is the way it will be from here out. Parity is everywhere in college basketball...

That's because the Sweet 16 this year has HIGHER seeded teams surviving than the last five years...Parity may be everywhere, but look at the final 16. Not many Cinderellas. Cream comes to the top. All that being said, from what I've seen, UL deserves to have been in that final 16. Better coached and much better defense than just about every team I've watched so far.

Clive's comment on this bigarse Bridge Year of UK is amazingly hilarious. Who the hell would know?How do you have a "bridge year" in a program that turns over 80% of its lineup each and every year?
That's not true. After so many players left last season it was pretty clear this wan't going to be a Final Four year for UK.C'mon now Clive; absolutely NO ONE even uttered the phrase "bridge year" until AFTER UK was eliminated from the tourney. And that is actually a compliment; UK fans NEVER accept that they are not a title threat until they are literally eliminated. Claiming "everyone thought this was a bridge year for UK" is simply false and revisionist history at it's finest.

Next year however will be a banner year or bust.
With just the finals to go and having watched some good basketball, the sweet 16 may have been as good as we could have done. I doubt Mango and Anas would have been in a position to make a significant contribution.Parity may be everywhere, but look at the final 16. Not many Cinderellas. Cream comes to the top.

Actually they didn't, 3 out of the last four years were like this. 2015 was not a normal uk season.We'll just agree to disagree. UK lost more than normal last season.
