We are right there again with Maryland and North Carolina. When Vegas has us on top you know we are awfully good.
The Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook has the Terps pegged as a 7-1 co-favorite to win the title, along with Kentucky and North Carolina. Kansas is next at 12-1, followed by Iowa State (15-1) and defending champion Duke (18-1).

Seems ridiculous to me. I wouldn't touch those odds even if we had last years team.

As we all know Vegas does a great job setting the odds and prognosticating anything to do with college basketball. We have talent and by tournament time we should be a very good basketball team barring injuries.

That's a good assessment, before the season starts. But after the season starts it will be dropped right in the hands of the returning players. We have a couple of most likely to succeed freshmen but whether the returnees will be able to pull their load will not be determined until this fall and winter.

I really think the key to our success will the the performance of Lee and Willis. If those two can give 10-15 productive minutes each, spelling Labissier and Poythress (or sliding into the '3' spot), we should be good.
Our backcourt promises to be outstanding, with Ullis, Briscoe, Mathews and Mulder.
Yeah, once the freshmen adjust to the college game, I think we have all the pieces to be in the hunt for a final four yet again.

Yet, people will b*tch, final four or not. Maybe one day, Kentucky will find the perfect coach. Yeah. That's the ticket. Guys, there's no such thing as a perfect wife, even.

The greatest asset TCD has is how everyone can have different opinions on any topic and yet we all respect each other. It really sets us apart from other UK sites.

True. There seems to be every possible opinion on here but we all want to win as many games as possible, if not all of them.
