Seth Greenberg "This team has the highest ceiling of any team in the top 10"

Kentucky? Really?

Kentucky? Really?

<g> Kentucky has 3 seven footers, so they probably do have a higher ceiling. </g>

I do believe that they are the one team i dont want to see in our bracket. I had mentioned that a few weeks ago after watching them and being really impressed. I think if we are at our best we have the advantage in experience and coaching.

If "at our best" means a healthy Clingan then I like our chances too

 

[ucp990411]

Lots of talent on the court. Not so much on the bench

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kentucky probably has the most talent in the country. Doesn’t mean it’ll matter in March.

 

[Waquoit]

Couldn't you say that about KY every year?

 

[FlippinCrazy!]

Interesting to note that Tony Bergeron (Tre Mitchell’s moms boyfriend) followed Mitchell to Kentucky and got a nearby high school coach job. It’s funny that he can no longer land any kind of assistant job in college after his little coupe attempt at UMass.

UK doesn't want to see us, we end their seasons

2006 2nd round

2011 Final Four

2014 NC

I want UK and Dook to be in our brackets, they're our lucky charms

What's the poor guy gonna do when Tre graduates?

Follow Tre to Europe.

 

[Greedo]

Follow Tre to Europe.

He'll be the best high school assistant in all of Greece.

I'm sure Seth had us as National Champions in January last year, right.

 

[Kitaman]

Their ceiling is lower than our ceiling.

 

[lilbuddha]

They have a lot of individual talent. I wouldn't disagree with them having a higher ceiling but it's not much higher. But I would argue our floor is way higher than theirs due to experience and coaching.

 

[RedStickHusky]

What? Did the Harrison twins come back?

 

[Palatine]

Since one could argue that the ceiling is a National Championship. Couldn't one argue that teams with a legit chance at the NC all have the same ceiling? Don't we have exactly the same ceiling as Kentucky.

 

[husky429]

With a healthy Clingan and a Castle growing in confidence every day, I don't see how we're the highest ceiling team in the country. I'm probably biased, but I also don't care.

 

[CL82]

It's hard to say. KY is slippery.

 

[jibsey]

He had Alabama, Duke and UCONN last year with the best chances to win it. The gurus don’t know much more about who will win these things than you and me. Proven year after year.

All national championship teams are not created equally. The 1999 and 2014 Huskies did not have the same ceiling.

Imagine someone on the boneyard thinking they might be biased. I always thought we were all level headed, honest and unbiased.

If El Amin doesn't get hurt in the 2000 tournament. Who knows where he leads his team?

 

[Scottobot]

I think UConn has the best chance to win if they get fully healthy. I am skeptical about that happening, but hopeful. If fully healthy I think they could beat every other team in a multi game series. Tournament is always a crapshoot where the best team doesn’t always win because of single game nature. I would not trade UConn players for any other teams players. So I disagree with Greenberg on that.

I consider Ceiling to be the level of play a team can achieve at its best not the ability to win the national title. Thats a different beast entirely.
