At this point we really need to win one of two of these games. Last year we had 3 of these types of games, hung around in two of them but couldn't finish. Perhaps Dan thinks the law of averages takes over and if we can hang around enough we actually win a couple. Hopefully, the more of these you play the more comfortable you get, the better you are able to execute down the stretch. I give us a much better shot against Duke then Kentucky. Dukes talent is not overwhelming plus the game happens when school is out so you won't see the full "Cameron Crazy" effect, Kentucky has just some ridiculous "one and done" guys coming in.
