Yahoo’s Pat Forde gives Kentucky credit while at the same time he takes a jab at John Calipari for not playing a team that couldn’t even gain a NIT bid.
Forde says the Cats are one of the most dangerous teams in the tournament:
Kentucky (25). Pomeroy offensive rank: 19. Pomeroy defensive rank: 41. Whether it was The Tweak of the offense or simply some masterful mind games from Calipari, he has made everyone remember how talented this once-dysfunctional group truly is. Suddenly their immense potential seems within reach. Huge and imposing, don’t be surprised to see the Wildcats radically improve that defensive ranking and make a serious run at the Final Four. With a coach who knows how to win in March, Kentucky will be a daunting opponent in the Midwest region.
Now for the part where Forde does what Forde is known for and that is hating John Calipari:
It’s been a good year for chickens: the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers (1) are in the Big Dance for the first time since 1993; the Delaware Blue Hens (2) for the first time since 1999; and Kentucky coach John Calipari (3) for the first time since he refused to continue playing Indiana home-and-home in 2012.
