Wrong.

Kemba beat 3 teams with better NBA prospects than him

SDSt - Kawhi Leonard

Arizon - Derrick Williams

Kentucky - Knight AND Jones.

Sam Bradford was a way better NFL prospect than Tim Tebow. WTF did that have to do anything when they met on the COLLEGE gridiron?

And LOL at your list. Williams looks like a man ready for the NBA, other than that, Kemba and every player you mentioned are complete crapshoots in the NBA (which is basically what the draft is in that league - a crapshoot.) The two UK boys are not really on Kemba's level though, IMO. And how are you gonna come into a thread where I'm talking about how Kemba is gonna be chucking it up tonight and try and talk about Brandon effing Knight? That dude would heat check from half court.

Kemba has a chance of a triple double tonight. Funny to think Butler yup Butler "where are they from Butler Indiana?"... can hang around with the BEAST of the EAST! Kemba plays his best in BIG GAMES! Calhoun will go right at Howard and get him in foul frouble. UCONN will dominate the glass and Kemba will dominate the game.

Butler ML is the play tonight


What size shoe you wear? 
I like Uconn ML, 3pts is a bit too much for the huskies to cover..

You say that like he's automatic in big games. The two biggest games of his life he is a combined 13/32 from the field... if he shoots like that again he's gonna have to put up a big assist total like he did in those two games, and at that point you are relying on those around Kemba to do the job you expected of him...

Maybe, but they havent exactly played offensive juggernauts

ODU ranked 160

Pitt  ranked 51

Wisconsin ranked 192

Florida ranked 98

VCU ranked 99.

I am fully confident that a group of kids like UConn will NOT be able to win a championship game against this Butler team. Kemba's head is the size of Jupiter right now and we saw it last game. I will be shocked if Brad Stevens' boys don't pull this off. I'll take defense and discipline over flashy arrogance any day of the week.

Confident because none of the last 10 or so teams has been able to? Flashy arrogance? Is that what winning is called?

Kemba is doing what Jimeer couldnt....perform when it counts and the world knows you're the man.

Dude... those are PPG "ranks" ... that's highly misleading in college hoops. You think Virginia Military is the best offense in the nation at 87.9 PPG?

Florida and Pitt are two of the most offensively efficient teams in the entire nation.

You're somewhat right..he's never won 10 straight single elimination tournamnet games in his career.

Can people PLEASE stop using this as some sort of an argument for UConn? You guys DO realize that Butler is 10-1 in their last 11 NCAA Tournament games, with 1 loss coming to a legend in the national title game, right? It's not exactly that big of a difference there, in fact I'd argue Butler's run is more impressive than UConn's...

Kobe has 5 rings. Since when does he embarrass himself?

I wonder how many times Calhoun and Uconn have heard this  over the last 2 days..... I'm betting a lot.

 

Good luck with your play Bud.

   it sounded like a 'clash of cultures' from the first post!
