Ok, all of you on the fence about this team and wavering about Kentucky’s chances the ball is yours.

● Reply hazy, try again Sometimes they show up, and sometimes they don’t. Throwing a clunker at this point and not a dagger as Calipari likes to call it would spell doom. Yet they are resilient and have fought down the stretch.
● Ask again later. We can revisit this on a game-by-game basis if they win. The question is how much does each game take out of them physically and emotionally. A double-overtime win over Mississippi State to kick off the tournament as they did to start the SEC regular-season would surely be cause for major concern considering the lack of depth.

● Better not tell you now The odds are not in their favor at all by most accounts around the sixth-best shot  by most oddsmakers. But Calipari is never one to play the odds. The sheer love for his players always by season’s end has them in a positive frame of mind. He has stroked their egos, cried with them, scolded them, cheered them, and praised them. Time to see where their heads are.

● Cannot predict now As in the movie Major League fans thought the Indians stunk early on but then loved them in the end. This season has played out much the same. It wasn’t a December to remember but one to forget, yet here they are playing much better. Not a million times better but not the worst.
● Concentrate and ask again.Concentration has been the upside and downside to this team. When they are all in sync and in harmony its a good thing, but when the aren’t heads start hanging and frustration boils. If its the former its a good omen, but if not the end would be near.
