Our favorite sports writer (note sarcasm), Pete Thamel, formerly of the New York Times, now writing for Sports Illustrated says Kentucky will flop this year: “Simply put, Kentucky is ranked way too high. Sure, the Wildcats have a bevy of talented newcomers. But star freshman center Nerlens Noel is light years from Anthony Davis, especially on offense. Transfer point guard Ryan Harrow was a questionable decision maker at NC State. The high-grade talent just isn’t there. Expect the Wildcats to be a No. 4 or No. 5 seed. As for next year? Well, that’s a different story.”
