Pat Forde of Yahoo.com thinks the Kentucky Wildcats are one of the teams to beat in this years NCAA Tournament, but with every compliment, there is always a jab.
Forde, who used the presidential election as a reoccurring them in his article, compare John Calipari to Donald Trump.
And we have a Trump-esque lightning-rod figure who thrives on conflict in Kentucky coach John Calipari (5).
Oh yeah, the positive stuff:
Kentucky (9). If North Carolina has the most experienced talent, the Wildcats probably have the most talent. Again. And it has coalesced nicely late in the season, after a number of bad losses earlier that damaged their seeding. The guard tandem of Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray is probably the best in the tourney, and could conceivably pull a Napier-Boatright 2014 power play and carry UK all the way. Freshman third guard Isaiah Briscoe is an underrated defensive stopper. But the biggest improvement has come up front, where senior Alex Poythress and freshman Skal Labissiere have at last produced. The nagging concern: Plowing through yet another uninspiring collection of SEC opponents won’t have Kentucky ready for the better competition to come. And a team that has never developed much depth could find itself low on bodies in the tourney’s grueling latter stages.
