Without Wall, Kentucky is having problems running an offense. Some credit must go to the UNC defense too.

I was ridiculed by some on the other site for saying Wall would be the best player in college basketball. Any doubters, now?
I knew UK would win by double digits and said so on this thread. Just too much of an emotional edge today for Kentucky.

Wall is better than Collins. Aldrich is better than Patterson. In college, the PG position is more important.
I think all the other players cancel each other out. But I will admit Kansas is very good, and you can't go wrong saying they are the best team in the country.

I'd take Collins over Wall..especially in March.
As a matter of fact, there isn't a player in college basketball I would take over Sherron Collins.

Also, the other players don't cancel each other out, because UK has no depth. All their points come from 6 guys..then you have a real drop off in minutes. Kansas goes 9, 10 deep.

I just got caught up in watching this game. DVR works wonders. UK started sloppy in both halves. But, wow, that 28-2 run was amazing. For any team to go on that run on any team (especially NC) is unbelievable. UNC probably hasnt had that happen to them ever. John Wall and P. Patterson are 2 of the most complete players in the NCAA, and I hope Wall comes back from his cramps. He has at least 3 top 10 plays in this game. Bledsoe needs to get his game on, hasnt looked too good.

Kansas went on a huge run to go up 40-12 against UNC couple years ago in the Final Four.cats gone wild wrote:For any team to go on that run on any team (especially NC) is unbelievable. UNC probably hasnt had that happen to them ever.

Collins is a better shooter that is about it. When it comes to open floor, gettin to the rack, and creating for others Wall looks better

Wall is better than Collins. But Kansas is better at every other position. Kentucky doesn't have a third best player as talented as Xavier Henry.
And Carolina is creeping back. FT line isn't the Heels strength, though.

Lol I haven't seen anyone (other than Wall; they're equally really freaking good) do all three of those things better than Collins...he can get to the rim whenever he wants, he's fast as shit in the open court, and dishes out 5 assists a game.k_boogy wrote: Collins is a better shooter that is about it.

Kentucky's offense has been to let Wall drive and hope he gets bailed out with a foul call the last few minutes.

Collins is a senior, while Wall is a FRESHMAN who has played like 5 games in college.
By the end of the year Wall will be the best player in the nation.

Exactly why i would take Collins..he's a senior, Wall is a freshman.
But I wouldn't be mad with Wall

Carolina is chucking too many threes. Pound it back inside.

Wall steps out of bounds, trips over himself then gets the call. Amazing.

I missed most of this game because of the other sporting events that are on television. From what I have seen, I don't think you can make an argument for Kentucky being the best team in the nation. Don't get caught up in the moment. Syracuse beats Kentucky by 10 in my opinion.
