Michael Wilbon had a front row seat for today’s beatdown in his hometown and he dished out some high praise for the Cats. The PTI host said he doesn’t remember seeing anything like what he saw in Kentucky today in the United Center. The tweet came early in the first half, so it got even worse from there.

Meanwhile, Doug Gottlieb still believes UK is a good matchup for UCLA and it will be a tight game.

gottlieb should be fired. He's as anti Kentucky as
bob knignt.

These guys are anti Kentucky because they know how to draw attention to themselves. Go negative against some of the largest following, BBN, for example.

Like CHris Rock said this evening the two best defensive teams in the NCAA are platoon #1 and Platoon #2

Wilbon was the same person who in the off season, said Calipari would be coaching Brooklyn this season.

Gottlieb is not a favorite that's for sure.

Wilbon was 100% right on his praise of the Cats performance today..

Chris Rock is right on with defense too as we are 10 deep.

Gotlieb thrives off of the negative press!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 12-20-2014, 10:37 PM:

I'm not real sure what Chris Rock knows about college basketball. But I'm sure, like the rest of the world he saw the drubbing that UCLA took today!

Gottleib sure missed the boat on it being a close game.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 12-20-2014, 11:05 PM:

I bet Gottleib won't admit he ways way off base on his prediction.

Not true. He even owned that at halftime. He always does when he is incorrect and he doesn't gloat when his opinions are correct. I think uncSucks and I are about the only two UK fans who like him. I think his radio show is pretty good because of his candor. He doesn't present the same ole opinions and views as most of them.

He praised UK at half for their execution. He was on Twitter right away saying how those first 4 minutes of basketball was the best he had seen and made fun of himself by saying he missed the UCLA prediction "by thiiiiiiis much"! NOT CLOSE.

He is also the only on air figure who has spoken about the UNC scandal. Saying that he thinks their 2005 Banner should be in question.

Trey, If everyone agreed it would be a dull world and glad everyone like both of us have our right to differ. The other point is "we all" also have bad and good points and certainly Gottleib makes points I for won would agree with certainly his view on the North Carolina situation.
