So the upperclassmen are finally stepping forward and now they’ve locked up a SEC championship at UK.

This team is really starting to be special in my eyes. We’ve got a few super star freshman coupled with solid upperclassmen and it’s beginning to look like the perfect mix. This team will be a tough out for anyone in the upcoming NCAA tournament.

I don’t see a lot of weakness on this Kentucky team. If I had to pick one, it would be the inside game. I still think a legitimate big man will give the Cats trouble, but not nearly as much as it would have during the beginning of the season.

Harrelson and Jones have surpassed my expectations as far as rebounding the ball and eating up space on the inside. There is now a presence in the middle, which is necessary to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament. You add that with an emerging Vargas and UK is looking like a formidable team. I wouldn’t want to face UK in this tournament. They are peaking at exactly the right time.

Their length on defense gives teams fits. Liggins is probably the best defensive stopper I’ve ever seen in a UK uniform. The guy gets under the skin of everyone he faces. I can’t wait to see him play defense in the NCAA tournament. It’s truly going to be special.

UK has shooters, which give us a shot(no pun intended) against anyone. You just can’t shut down so many shooters on one team. Miller, Liggins, Knight, and Lamb can all hit the three and that’s something very troublesome for opposing teams.

Coach Calipari is proving himself to be one of the best in the business. I see Coach Calipari help these Freshmen improve and I don’t know if there is another coach who can do that as quickly. He is simply a master at getting players to work hard and improve their own game. I don’t think there could be another coach who fits as well at UK compared to Coach Calipari. He is simply the man right now in the Big Blue Nation.

Let her rip….This is gonna be fun!
