Now before you guys jump out of your seats and criticize my picks, which you can but I would prefer email (nicholas.mcc@hotmail.com) please listen to me.
Rup Arena is known for its great home court advantage. No doubt about it then Kentucky is a great team and all but this might not be there season. At 11-3, the Kentucky Wildcats are not a top ten team, no question needed.
Look at how there season how unfolded so far,
they won there first 7 Non-Conference games, which yes one was Duke, and they won at a neutral court but that's one good win for this team, they lost at UCLA who are 9-6, you might say that's a good loss , then they lost at home to Ohio State who are 10-5, then they lose at LSU who is 9-6, believe me I think LSU is better then 9-6, probably 11-4 or 12-3 good. Now again, you might say this was another good loss, but every single game they lose can you say it's a good loss? At some point you have to face the fact, You can't be 5th in the SEC and still be ranked. Kentucky shouldn't be ranked because the SEC is a football conference. Yes the SEC has its years, well basically normally Kentucky has it's years, there normally the power of the SEC. This season, I am predicting South Carolina will come away with that division. And that South Carolina will finish at No. 14th in the Nation because at 14-0 they look like the best team in the SEC. Maybe the best team SC has ever had in history. They have 5 players averaging 10 points PPG or more. They've got players. They've got the rebounders. They've got the passers. They've got it all. They are one of the top 15 rebounding schools this season, they are averaging 42.4 RPG. Look at the facts, they've won at Memphis and the team Josh Pastner has built is great. It seems like he always has a good team, which is hard to keep up with unless your getting the best recruiting ever. They've always won @ Auburn, @ Clemson, and beat a good Big East Shotblocking St. Johns team. South Carolina hasn't lost yet, and they've played good teams. There isn't a bad loss like there was with Kentucky.
South Carolina will win the SEC and they are better then Kentucky because,
they outscore Kentucky with 81 PPG compared to Kentucky 78 PPG
They outrebound Kentucky with 42 compared to Kentucky's 39
They shoot free throws better.
They shoot threes better.
This isn't Kentucky's year. All of the talk should stop about Kentucky winning it all.
Compared to Kentucky, there are a better team.
