Kentucky is losing, BIGLY, to Arkansas.... in Rupp, at Halftime.
I'm still not all that worried just yet. Kentucky is FAR MORE talented than Arkansas. We get home-cooking ref calls in Rupp. I think we'll come back from 11 down to win this game. But, Arkansas has one of the best 3 point shooters in the country (Joe) and he's feeling it tonight. That alone can turn a game. Plus, UK is missing Reid Travis, our Sr. transfer BIG GUY in the middle. he brings a toughness to this team that is missing without him. I *think*, his knee injury is not that serious. He should be back for the tourney. But, this UK team NEEDS him, to go all the way.
I think, Cal will use this absence of the big guy to FORCE the other guys to step up. He doesn't even care if they lose a couple of games.
Kentucky is one of the TOP teams in the country this year. Honestly, the ONLY TEAM in the country that scares me is... DUKE.. And., ONLY if they have Zion playing. If he's out? Kentucky is going to win a National Title. If he comes back, it's Duke vs Kentucky in the Finals.
We'll see how the team responds in the 2nd half... but, it really doesn't matter. Win or lose, learning will happen.. the team will improve, and... UK is just MORE TALENTED than any other team in the country.. this year.
I say this... only to help ALL of you in your March Madness pools... UK is legit this year. It's been a few years since I have said this.
