Well, Ill state some of my opinions. Kentucky will make the NCAA tournament just because they are Kentucky, probably knocking a better mid-major team out of the tourney. Theyll get knocked out in the first round of this tournament too anyways. They have five home losses, and Billy G is making Rupp Arena look like a neutral court to visitors. Kentucky doesnt have any chemistry (other than "pass it to Jodie") or discipline and thats due straight to the coaching. They are weak, they arent tough, and they tend to back down and get bullied when another team on the same level as they are brings the intensity level up a notch. And I said there would be a day when Kentucky fans had better be careful what they wish for after running Tubby off. This is that day. If Tubby had this team, UK would be somewhere around 23-5 and in first place in the SEC. Tubby, IMO, was one of the top 2 or 3 X's-and-O's coaches in the country, and Billy G hasnt a clue about x's and o's, and has gotten outcoached in more games than I can count in the two years he's been there. Not to mention, other than maybe Tom Izzo, Tubby was THE best defensive coach in the country. But as for Billy G, he gets rattled and shaken, and his teams get beat. And at times they dont just get beat, this is one of those refreshing "we only got beat by 3 at home" games, theyve been pounded. I have zero confidence in his coaching. Oh yeah, if Tubby was still here, Patrick Patterson, Jodie Meeks, and Alex Legion would have made a pretty formidable trio in Lexington. But we are getting what we deserve. We are getting NCAA births because of the name on the front of our jerseys, thanks to Rupp, Joe B. Hall, Rick Pitino and Tubby Smith (I didnt forget about Sutton, just didnt think he deserved to be on that list), not because of the outstanding 18-13 and 19-10(+) seasons brought by Billy Clyde Gillispie. I want to see BCG do well, but I think he's over his head in Lexington. Oh Tubby, Oh Tubby, where are you now? Be very careful what you wish for Cat fans. You just might get it.
