From KSR:

Jeff Goodman over at The Walt Disney Company’s ESPN website has a pretty neat college basketball poll up and its results are quite disrespectful to your Kentucky basketball team. Goodman and his colleagues asked 50 college basketball coaches to name which team they do not want to face in the postseason and the responses are quite surprising. West Virginia is the most feared team, according to the poll, with 14 of the 50 votes placed. Up next is Villanova with nine votes, Duke with six and then Kansas, Oregon and Virginia with four votes. But you should know that not one coach said they are afraid of the Kentucky Wildcats.

Cats have played sub par late into the season. I agree with the poll.

They have a lot of talent. They have to play better.

I wouldn't be scared to play us right now either. If you can play a good zone, and get back on defense you have a really good shot against us. However, if we start to play the rest of the season like we did against Tennessee, then that should put some fear in coaches.

I don't think Cal would particularly relish the idea of playing WV either.

I like West Virginia. When WVU is having a good shooting night, they can beat any team in the nation. They got beat a week or so ago, when the shots weren't falling like usual.

Right now, Kentucky is the same way. If the Cats don't improve their D, they will have to depend on hot shooting, which always seems to let you down, eventually. Not a problem in the pro game, because they play series verses college that is one and done. This season, Kentucky's AAU guys are taking longer to grasp that defensive mind set. Time is ticking......
