Its kinda embarrassing for kentucky but it makes college basketball more interesting

Yea that is pretty bad.... Hopefully Kansas takes Kentucky's spot in the final four......

I was also hoping Kansas can take Kentuckys spot. But I think Kansas would beat Kentucky any way.

i always like to see an under dog win

UAB is not a bad team--they earned their way in, just like everyone else--once you get to the college level, most of the talent is all on the same level, even in the case of Kentucky-UAB.

so do i as long as duke doesnt lose. I almost always cheer for the underdog.

Everybody who plays Duke will now be considered the underdog now, after the Kentucky fall Duke became the #1 overall ranked team still in the NCAA. I had Kentucky losing to Kansas this round so hopefully Kansas can pull out the W against a very good UAB. Will the underdog teams keep the mo from the first week to the next, most often times no but we shall see.

Kohlslaw, don't kid yourself. Sure there are a ton of great athletes on the college level, but to say it's all even is a little off.

Did you watch alot of the games this past week? Games like UConn-Vermont, Kentucky-FAMU(even though it was a close score for a little), Duke-Bama St. ? The talent level is obvious. There are 2 seperate classes, major D-1 baskteball, and mid-small D-1 basketball. Sure the small guys pull upsets here and there, but the talent is far from even.

Even in the Pitt-UCF game, Pitt was obviously the more gifted team out there, but just had an off night. The players for UCF missed a ton of assignments on D, had trouble on the boards, and just looked a step slower.

yea i like upsets too.. makes things interesting

i agree with sports999, the talent level is nowhere near even. i just think that the nature of basketball is why top teams are likely to fall more often than in say...football. when you can score every 15 seconds, its much different than having to constantly put together drives and make stops. JMO.
