VICE Sports hails Kentucky basketball

In VICE Sports’ college basketball weekly wrap up, VICE praises the Kentucky Wildcats. The Champions Classic showed the world that the Cats are still number No. 1 despite losing six players to the NBA.
Kentucky might not go 40—0–and, given how much the pressure mounts with each win during an undefeated season, that might be a good thing–but the Wildcats have to be the title favorites. Again. Putting anyone above them is just overthinking it.
VICE called Kentucky the nation’s most talented team and called Tyler Ullis the most underrated point guard in the country. The Kentucky-Duke matchup was the second ranked game this week behind Maryland-Georgetown, which is total craziness.
The article goes on to discuss Indiana and Tom Crean and Wisconsin’s loss to Western Illinois. VICE Sports does a really good job at recapping the week in college basketball in a different, fun way. You can read the full article here.

Vice = immoral or wicked behavior.
Put zero stock in – and disassociate your selves from this sheit.
UofK has no front court.
Until that improves – and, sorry but Skal has minimal shot at going pro in 2016 – don’t count the chickens until they friggin’ roost.
Then who is, one of the teams that just lost to inferior competition? The game has changed. They had the #1 front court in the country last season and how did that work against Wisconsin? I’ll take the best back court in the country in the game as it is now.
Skal will be a top 2 pick in the 2016 NBA draft. A lot of that is based on potential.
Try again
Skal will be top 5 in draft. By game 10 double-doubles will be likely and expected. Fail on your part. Compared to recent years, our backcourt lacks. Compared to everyone else? I will take UK.
Seriously, where do these idiots come from…???
reply bait
Correction…our front court lacks. Our back court is phenomenal . Apologies.
Still a better front court than Useless of L’s
If you don’t think NBA front offices are salivating about Skal’s low post moves you are clueless. Judging by your reaction to the source material for this article, you clearly are.
We lost 7 – not 6 players from last years team to the NBA…
You can always spot a Louisville fan when they refer to us as “U of K.”
This.
That, and the general lack of knowledge about grammar and spelling that screams “I spent my school years in a meth-induced haze”.
Why does KSR keep pulling something up from below and make it the “last” post of the night? You guys quit doing the late night post which I would much rather have than the morning post, but it makes no sense to randomly choose something from earlier in the day and put it on top.
