don't think they will win the title. There are ways to beat them, and good chance they run into a team in the NCAAs who does. An opponent that can hit from outside, handle the UK press, is willing to attack the hoop and is strong on the D boards is what it would take. Columbia showed that in playing a close game. Texas did until they stopped playong their game. UNC didn't in letting UK shot twice as many FTs and giving up way to many offensive boards. And UCLA showed only that they are an above average WCC level hoops team. Winning at Rupp is vastly different than winning away.

UK probably has the greatest collection of talent on any college team ever. And as the season goes on they will gel more despite a crappy conference schedule that won't give them much trouble. But they won't win the title.
