I don...Not confident against Kentucky tonight. <br /><br />I don't think we have good enough scoring forwards or guards, and Withey is pretty soft. <br /><br />Tyshawn hasn't exactly been a model floor general to begin with. We'll see if elijah can grow, but I see this team as a #7-10 seed type, unless the Big 12 is exceptionally weak, then maybe we could pull a 4 or 5, but probably an overrated 4.Scott Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13222662115298215865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024323.post-13530119898000404842011-11-15T10:38:24.076-06:002011-11-15T10:38:24.076-06:00I'm not hugely optimistic about the game itsel...I'm not hugely optimistic about the game itself, but I'm excited just to see our boys for the first time. I like what I'm hearing about Tharpe and Young, a possible All-American season from T-Rob, and the veteran guard combo of TT-EJ-Teahan maybe being ready to take things up a notch.<br /><br />UK's talent looks overwhelming to me, but if we can keep turnovers low as we did vs. Towson maybe we can make them sweat it out. It's refreshing to be the scrappy underdog for a change.DGLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254846037455114337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024323.post-82924770796190321072011-11-14T17:51:34.284-06:002011-11-14T17:51:34.284-06:00Come on!
