KENTUCKY

They are loaded and deep and will soon add a strong Post presence.

It's still very early but I can see them in the Final Four or going very deep in the Tournament.

I will be interested in how they do against Tennessee. The SEC isn't very deep this year so that seems like the only good matchup. Plus, they will have Walker, who I thought was a really tough player the few times I saw her.

Hoopfan, i agree with you, it is a little bit too early to tell about most conference powers. Lets wait and see how Kentucky does when they play the likes of Tennessee, Georgia, and LSU. Though Kentucky will add Samarie Walker later, other conference powers will have the benefit of conference play and depth as well.

I don't think we'll have to wait until conference play to get a read on Kentucky. The Cats host Duke tomorrow (thurs) night and play Notre Dame (at South Bend) on Dec 18. Samarie will be eligible to play against ND.

I hope Walker goes off for 40 points against Tennessee. I might even visit a certain web site to watch the torture.

Don't forget to wear your waders.

Weak link for Kentucky could be the coach. I've seen a deer in the headlights look from him at crunch time in big games, which his team has rarely won. He made need more seasoning, for lack of a better word.

Yes I agree the orange country deserves all the misery possible. I will also root for Rutgers against Tennessee, and I never root for Rutgers.

Kentucky is but a "pretender" until it defeats Tennessee.

Go Wildcats !!

 

[Wbbfan1]

Kentucky is a pretender until they can beat Tenn both in Conference play and SEC tournament. Also have to stay competitive for multiple years like LSU did.

Hopefully LSU will get back to where they are competitive with Tenn on a yearly basis.

 

[CCinCT]

Pretender or not - will root for anyone versus Tennessee !

 

[Buckaroobanzai]

In February, 2009, Kentucky was not a "pretender" to anything. Its upset of Tennessee was a fluke. However, now Kentucky is highly rated and must assume the pressure of contesting Tennessee as an equal. We will learn if Kentucky has the fortitude to make the transition from "pretender" to "contender."
