Jason King of ESPN.com holds court on the NCAA and mentions Anthony Davis’ upcoming block record.
[I][B][URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56353/anthony-davis”]Anthony Davis[/URL]’ assault on the Kentucky record book: The 6-foot-10 freshman already has 82 blocks, which is just two blocks shy of breaking the Wildcats’ single-season record. Davis has at least three blocks in every game this season except one — and that was against North Carolina, when he swatted [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/45531/john-henson”]John Henson[/URL]’s attempt at a game-winning jumper from the baseline as time expired. Davis is averaging a national-best 4.6 blocks.[/B][/I]
King also answers a question about concern for Kentucky’s close encounters in their first 2 SEC road games.
[I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=Verdana]First of all, I judge teams like Kentucky different than ones such as Indiana. The Wildcats are an NCAA title contender. Indiana is not. So, yes, Kentucky’s close games against subpar competition make me question whether the Wildcats are as good of a team as everyone thought. At the same time, I’m not overly concerned. Just because Kentucky isn’t dominating its opponents now doesn’t mean it won’t eventually. Remember, three of the Wildcats’ top five players are freshmen who are just discovering how difficult it is to win conference road games. The same thing happened last season with Kentucky’s newcomers, who also struggled away from home. The Wildcats’ ceiling is incredibly high. They’re a darn good team right now and they’re going to get a lot better.
