UCONN Basketball Blog: Our Cal is Better Than Your Cal

TheUconnBlog.com says their Cal (Jim Calhoun) is greater than Kentucky's Cal (John Calipari). Here are a few excerpts from their game preview for tonight's showdown at Madison Square Garden:

UConn’s probably going to lose tonight. Kentucky has returned to their place in the college hoops elite, and they’re doing it with one of the most impressive group of athletes I’ve seen since the 2006 UConn team.

Their coach may be a no-good dirty squid who would use smiling schoolchildren as bait if it let him bring in Godzilla to play the 5, but damn if the man can’t get his record wiped clean by the NCAA after leaving a program assemble a team to run his offense.

John Wall and Patrick Patterson scare the living hell out of me. UConn appears to be a ridiculously flawed team that deserves to be nowhere near the top 20 at the moment.

It theoretically should add up to the Wildcats opening a can of whoop-ass on UConn tonight at the World’s Most Famous Arena.

While it could get that bad, ultimately I think Kentucky ends up winning by 5-10 points. Anything above that is gravy and most likely a big step forward for this team as it awaits the return of Ater Majok. At the very least, it means UConn fans (and hopefully players) can head into tonight’s game feeling no pressure.

My cardinal rule in life: if you have expectations of failure, then you’ll always be 1) correct or 2) successful. I can be happy either way.
