    Annnnd People think Calipari really needs to pay players to play here? lol

    Look at the new locker room and dorms for the UK Basketball Players.




    Insert, not even ranked and other petty comments below. Just don't forget, you are still national champions until someone unseats you. They will be fine come tourney time.

    I hate to say it but this bunch of cats are hard to root for. Nerlins is a piece of crap as a person and I don't know if they will be able to accomplish much with the types of attitudes they have.

    Pretty sad when the locker room has more character than the players. :(

    LMAO. Where do you get that? 09 had way more egos and issues than this team. As for this team, It's a Sweet 16 Elite 8 type of team. Can't expect a Final 4 every single year realistically.

    I agree this team hasn't meshed well with Harrows mental issues with leaving the team for a while and Poytress playing a disappearing act...but everything I've heard and read has said the opposite of Nerlens.

    Are you sticking with sweet 16 or elite 8?

    Sweet 16 is a stretch imo.

    I agree about the talent. Talent isn't their issue.

    I think they will be fine. Just losing games as they find their identity as a team. I have been as laid back this season as I ever have been as a fan. Playing with house money after last April. I see them getting it together, barely making the tourney as a 6-7 seed...then making the sweet 16 at a minimum. Too many great players to not finally get it rolling.

    I agree with the 6 or 7 seed. They better figure out how to atleast win at home to accomplish that.

    Problem with the low seed is they will play good teams early in the tournament.

    How about now.

    Torn ACL. Out for season.

    If this had happened 4 weeks ago, I feel they would have improved without him. Too late in the season now.

    My prediction is now to squeak into the tournament and at best win 1-2 games. 10 seed playing a 7 most likely.

    I hate seeing players get hurt. Even if they're a player that I completely dislike (I like Noel a lot, though) and play for a team that I completely despise, seeing players get seriously hurt just sucks.

    They invest so much it's sad to see them go down like that.

    Hopefully it will teach him something about humility and character. Something he desperately needs,regardless of the crap Calipari keeps spewing about his "star" player.
