You don't let a 13-16 team win a conference tournament. Period.Oh yeah, NOBODY PLAYS ANY DEFENSE! As you may know, Jodie Meeks of the Kentucky Wildcats put up 54 points on Tennessee last night. First of all, if what is considered the best team in your conference gives up 54 to any player, that is a sorry excuse for an elite team, let alone any team at all.
If Tennessee were any kind of good team at all, after Meeks scored 26 points in the first half, the coaching staff would have stuck a guy on him, and told him to not let the guy breathe in the second half. But no, Meeks continued to get open looks, and he continued to embarrass the Volunteers. At some point, the coaches or players need to realize that this guy is ON, and make somebody else on the team beat you. For goodness sakes, Meeks made 15 of Kentucky's 30 total field goals.
Do you think North Carolina would let this happen? Do you think Pitt would let this happen? Shit, do you think Seton Hall would let this happen?
I almost forgot to mention that I give props to Meeks. 54 points is a hell of a game, regardless of the fact it came against a pathetic defensive squad. Most in Kentucky history, now THAT is impressive.
Pitt game tonight, I don't get ESPNU, but whatev, I'll mooch off someone else's TV.
1-Year anniversary for the blog.
"Sir, the possibility of S. Florida beating Pitt tonight is approximately three thousand, seven hundred and twenty to one!"
