Agreed. Bad post on my part. If I had to go by the resume, then yes I would say UK but I really do not think that we have hit the peak in order to hang with Kansas. Kansas has not done as much to earn the 1 spot but I do believe that Kansas should be number 1 until they lose. So if I had to go by what each team has done so far then yes I would go with Kentucky (Im sure you will agree that we still have a lot of growing and developing to do).

Absolutely. And I don't think they have come close to their peak. Dodson has yet to develop. Bledsoe started to look like what we hoped for in the last game. Cousins actually played a halfway intelligent game. Orton will only get better with time, but is still a solid defensive presence underneath. I agree with Kansas. I even give due to Texas. I'm OK with the #3 based on right now. We will lose, and due to the youth of this team, it would not be surprising that a loss will affect their next game. They have learned how to win. At this stage, they have no idea how to rebound from a loss. So, it will not surprise me at all that when this team does lose, they very well could lose the next game as well. That is when we should see this team fully mature. Once they no how to rebound from something negative, they will then know how to avoid it in the future. Bottomline, I am hopeful that they will have learned the lessons that they NEED to learn, before we get to tournament time.

Biggest concern of mine, what happens to this team if (God Forbid) something happened to Wall. They literally rely on him too much. When Wall is not on the floor, they are no better than an average team. Should Wall tweak an ankle and have to sit, this team is not yet ready for another leader based on what they have shown thusfar when Wall is not on the floor.
