Please Belle, throw some facts at me. You won the dance last year because you had the #1 and 2 draft picks.. Not because Calipari is some wonderful coach who will improve his freshman drastically. what you see is what you get from UK. Cal is a salesman, not a coach.

Elite Eight, Final Four, and a National Championship in his first three seasons at UK with similar youth?

Meh. If you think it doesn't take coaching to teach guys that are damn near devoid of solid defense in AAU ball to play lockdown defense in less then a season then you know less about basketball then I thought. Or to get those guys to put the ego aside and play like a team.

But it's whatever tickles your pickle. I like my team after tonight. Do you like yours?

I actually think he is underrated as a coach. That Wall/Cousins team sucked at first. Almost lost to Miami-Ohio in the opener. And they made the Elite 8. The Knight/Liggins team also made big improvements by the end of the year.

Of course, there are two things to consider. A) This year's team does not have Wall or Cousins or Bledsoe.

B) In-game, he can have huge brain farts. He did not adjust strategies at all against Huggins in 2010, and i am forever thankful for that because they would have beaten our 2010 team without a doubt.
