UK didn't play very well the entire tournament. Pure talent won the first two games and today it was actually going to take a good effort by UK to win and they just couldn't ever get it together and Vandy simply played lights out, just as Florida did yesterday.

I'm not one of those people who say, "we needed to lose a game before the NCAA", but I do believe we needed to lose a game like this. We played 3 teams over the past 3 days that brought their A-game and got physical with us. I'm sure Calipari loved seeing his team get roughed up like they did, because these boys needed to realize that they weren't unbeatable and no one is backing down from them.

Vanderbilt is a team that is capable of making a run in the tournament, however I've thought the same in the past and they always lose in the 2nd round or the sweet 16. Hopefully they can at least get to the elite 8 this year, because they have all the ingredients to beat just about everyone.
