Those guys gave UK all they had for 4 years and they both really stepped it up during the win streak.

We will have no senior class next season. Was good to see the two Ky kids give it their all for the team. They truly will be missed.

They definitely manned up. The big oaf wasn't bad either.

If you hadn't noticed the other senior Mulder sort of disappeared. He was an 0 fer.

I will miss them both as well. Derrick is one of my favorite players off this team.

If Briscoe leaves as most people assume he will, that leaves Wynyard, Gabriel, Humphries and Killeya-Jones as the only upperclassmen. All I have to say is the incoming freshman better be good....

Cal will do as he has always done and bring in another stellar class of players.

All four of those returning players are post players. If we bring in a bunch of exciting, talented guards, then we could run some sort of motion offense using the bigs as screens. Hey, Bobby Knight won a couple of championships with good guards and big oafs setting screens for them!

I just think it could easily be an unexpected outcome to the season if we have to rely on five freshman and no uppers. Without Derek and the Dom this year, we're probably a 5, 6, or 7 seed that doesn't win two games in the tourney.

South Carolina is a seven seed and in the final four. I, for one, will be rooting hard for them all the way.
