The refs had a very negative impact on the tourney this season, in my opinion. The only way to beat the bias, is to have much superior talent that can rise above it. If Kentucky gets one more player they are after, it will be very difficult for referees to prevent Cal from another title.

I really do believe had the game been called fairly in the first half, Kentucky would have won up by 15 at the half over UNC and cruised to victory.

I agree. We have 2 spots on the roster open and if we fill them with Bomba and Johnson we could have another platoon season.

Billy G was the coach when UNC won it all in 2009 not Cal, so UNC just got their 1st while Cal has been at UK, but I know what you mean.

The really crappy thing is Duke got both titles when UK clearly had the best team in the Nation (John Wall team in 2010 and then the Undefeated team in 2015) and UCONN got both of their's when UK was clearly the best team at the Final Four those two years.

That is what pisses me off.

Be happy Ed! We have the best college coach/recruiter in the country, and have the most talent coming in here almost every year. Just recall the Tubby/Gillispie years and smile!!!! [Big Grin]
