Kentucky out -- Can't say I am sad

Well I was way off on my prediction that Kentucky would run away from West Virginia. Credit to West Virginia for playing very good zone defense and taking the middle away from UK. I am a little surprised they did not feed the ball more into the interior soft spots of the zone but maybe Cousins and Patterson can't shoot 10-12 foot jumpshots.

At any rate, I am happy to see Kentucky and Calipari lose far sooner than they were expected. Really bad guys and schools that hire really bad guys (despite knowing they are two time cheaters) should not win National Championships.

I have said before that I think Calipari very bad for college basketball and I am happy to see him out of the discussion this year. Now I hope that UK loses 4-5 guys to early entry which should make them fairly immaterial for next year. Good riddance.

Congrats Mountaineers.
