BOILER UP!!! Matt Painter and the PURDUE crew are looking really good. They play with CLASS, play defense, and are very potent on offense. Jujan Johnson is the key for them. If he plays well, they win against good/great teams... if not great teams beat them and good teams can. As much as I don't like the Buckeyes of Ohio State, they will be a sleeper in the tournament Evan Turner should be player of the year (believe me it hurts to admit anything good about the buckeyes).
On Kentucky I watched them tonight for the first time against Vanderbilt (at least an entire game)... Purdue may not have the talent, but I'll take them over Kentucky. Why do players think that they are bigger than the game, and that it is all about them? Cousins should have been T'd up when he was waving his hands encouraging the Vanderbilt fans to boo! Wall makes a great block and has to run down the floor so everyone can see him? In my opinion, this is the fault of Calipari, you have to teach these kids respect, and I just don't see any respect with the Kentucky team. They already have the NBA attitudes. Kentuck is very talented, but I don't think they will win it all. Look at Louisville last year, same story. Just so I show I'm not partial Ogilvy screaming in the face of Cousins... Ogilvy should have been T'd up as well.
I agree with everything you said about Purdue and some about Kentucky, but what you dont realize its that its Pretty Darn good what Cal has done with Wall and Big Cuz, Big Cuz was Worse, and Fact is Either one could say to Heck with it, get a Loan, head to the Beach Right Now, They Will Still be Millionaires in 2 Months. You can only direct someone like that, you cant make them do anything. They are just Playing for fun, Wall would have went Number 1 in the Draft if he could have came out last year.
