If you had told me David Padgett would play 88 seconds in the first half due to foul trouble, and the all-time U of L 3-point leader, Taquan Dean, would go 5/16, I would've happily taken Kentucky. But that's college basketball for you.

A great team has good enough depth and talent to withstand and counteract foul trouble/injuries/bad shooting etc. which are all part of the game.

From the tone of your NFL posts, I take it I'd be suffering if I were following your NFL picks. Grade me on the quality of information I gave in my post, not the result.

If you ever read me call any play of mine a "game of the week", "game of the year", "game of the decade" etc. and be as off about a game, I'd voluntarily quit handicapping. Your hubris is what roped people in, that's what you need to understand here.
