UK stinking it up and making LSU look really good......not impressed with UK this year....over-rated for sure.

They look even worse than when they played UCLA. Kentucky is currently 9 but we're the only ranked Pac-12 team? What a joke.

Outside of Simmons, they are not a good team.

Looked like a pretty good team tonight. Three LSU players with double-doubles.

Watch out for A&M though.....they are building a program down there and are good this year....predict them to finish in the top 3 of the SEC....maybe even win it.

P.S. Am getting tired of ESPN fawning all over Simmons though..........yes, he's really good but enough already......

ESPN sets the season's theme in November and sticks to it religiously. Remember the 'Freshman Tracker' or whatever they called it?

Honestly speaks way more about Kentucky than it does LSU. LSU is ridiculously poorly coached.

Yes. Johnny Jones can recruit, but in game, it's basically a free for all. Even with Simmons, who has a really high basketball IQ.

Agree. Watching the close out of this Maryland-Wisconsin game and Diamond Stone is the only dependably firing piston for Maryland against a slow, awful shooting Wisconsin team. Game was mostly back and forth until Maryland started caring with about 7 minutes left.

Hah! Fantastic finish in Madison. UW storms back for to tie it up by 10 with 22 ticks left. Melo Trimble marches back down court and drains an NBA-long three with 2 sec left. Exciting finish but overall a terribly unmotivated showing for Maryland.

And the Aggies haven't lost since the Scummies beat them by 13....they are 4-0 in SEC, 14-2, and ranked #15? in latest poll...they also have a kick-ass recruiting class next year.

They are my Big Bro's school so have been following then closely. They are good this year..... I think they will finish top 3 in the SEC and have a decent run in the tourney. Gig 'Em Aggies!

Auburn beats Kentucky. ESPN said that Auburn hasn't beaten a ranked team since 2009 and hasn't beaten Kentucky in the last 18 tries. :lol:

I see nothing wrong with Calipari sending his players to the locker room early. Court rushing is dangerous for all parties involved.

We couldn't have the team we've had the last two years in a year like this lol.

It's wide open this year. Wide open. If Trier is 100% come March and no more injuries Arizona will have a chance to win it all. Yes you heard that right.

Yes, the look bad.

Funny watching them pass the ball around the parameter to only launch a 3 for a brick.

Should fall to #13 in the coaches poll next week.
