Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2949121, member: 7492"] On one of the threads, in talking about the SEC (which, I think we all universally agree is way down this year in quality teams), it was mentioned that after MSU (absolutely a strong team) and Kentucky (???) that Tennessee is probably in the top 4. Well, Kentucky has had a resurgence at 8-0 and is led by a freshman, Rhyne Howard 6'2" and #32 HG. They play on Sunday at Louisville. Much like last nights MSU/Marquette game, we will get to see the mettle of both of these schools and if either one is legitimate in their rankings. Kentucky has played 3 P5 teams (Virginia/UCLA/NCheat) and our own USF Bulls. This is not a bad schedule when compared to many of the "better programs" like Tennessee, who up to this point has played a pitiful schedule. To me, Kentucky is still emerging and while their 8-0 start is very good and the SEC is weak, I still am not sure they crack the top 4. I still like SC, though Dawn needs to do some serious coaching to get this team play "TEAM" basketball. I also like Missouri (though I do think Sophie Cunningham is a bit too chippie) and Georgia has good coach albeit underperforming so far. And then the aforementioned Tenn, which has lots of talent and poor discipline. I wonder if they come in the top 4 this year in a weak group, would Fulmer add to that contract extension he gave her and add 5 more years??? :cool: A strong showing by Kentucky against Louisville would clarify my mind they are legitimate be in the top 2/3/4 of the SEC. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
