Honestly, that makes it even more likely that they win out.
You can rely on great defense and length to be there all the time. The same can't be said for great outside shooting.
They are fun to watch.

Well yes... Which is why I said you gotta catch them on a cold night and you gotta knock down a lot of your shots.
I mean TAMU and Ole Miss took them to the wire in OT. And Columbia played them close til late in the game. It could happen.

Obviously it could happen, it almost already did.
But I think as the season goes on, their offense will click. We'll see.

They play down to the competition. They've been doing it for months now. They also beat Kansas by 40 or whatever. I'm not saying they won't lose, but I don't think your argument holds much weight. SEC play has always been ugly, grind it out games.

Playing down to your competition is not a good argument for staying undefeated. In fact, it supports the opinion that they will drop one
Posted on 1/24/15 at 1:32 pm to rockchlkjayhku11
Not exactly. I'm just saying they know how to eek out wins. I'd be much more concerned if they'd won every game by 10+.

What argument?
Their offense can go stagnant at times and they have been taken to the wire against teams that aren't that great. That's not an argument, that's what has happened. You even said that they play down to their competition. If you constantly do that, it's hard to keep pulling out thise narrow wins and sooner or later you'll lose.
And yes I said when they are on, nobody can beat them. They are too good and too deep. But they go through spurts where they really struggle to score and are inconsistent on offense.
Catch them on an off night, therr are a handful of teams that can beat them.

Ok well we are gonna have to agree to disagree on that opinion
Posted on 1/24/15 at 1:35 pm to rockchlkjayhku11
Is Kansas gonna win today?

Personally think Virginia is the most complete team in the country, statistically.
There are just two other teams in the country that average less possessions per game than Virginia. Pomeroy also has Virginia third in the country in AdjO.
They also have a stifling defense. Defensively, they've held three teams (Rutgers, Harvard, Georgia Tech) under 30 points. No matter the team, that is ridiculous.
I really thought Virginia would take a step back after Joe Harris left. They've just gotten better.
Really hope Tony Bennett makes the trip back home when Bo Ryan retires.

Yea, I'd be real concerned come March if an undefeated team didn't know how to win close games. This basketball. Not football, buddy.
Posted on 1/24/15 at 1:43 pm to KosmoCramer
I'd rather UK get challenged then coast and not. It's not a hard concept to grasp.

Yes. And it happens ALL THE TIME in basketball. Again, this isn't fricking football. I'm not saying they won't lose because they probably will at some point. But every great team has lost or almost lost to some BAD teams.

An inside joke? It's when UK comes to BR to play LSU.
I'm not trying to dog LSU and there's certainly nothing wrong with confidence. It's just the way LSU fans keep posting about the game.
Posted on 1/24/15 at 1:50 pm to BayouBengals03
I really don't know. Tight at half and gonna be close the whole way.
This is the type of game Kansas has found a way to win for the last ten years though.

I think it's just two reasons:
1) We beat them last year.
2) We are MAYBE the most talented team in the SEC outside of Kentucky.

For sure.
That loaded UNC squad that won the National Championship in 2005 lost to Santa Clara. Granted it was the first game of the season, but that Santa Clara team finished with a losing record.
