| I'm not sure where all of the supreme confidence comes from that we can/will beat UK this year.
We couldn't beat them last year with Clyde.
They have a ridiculously talented team, and a better coach at the helm.
We are a senior laden team, and if we were to play them right now, I would like our chances. However, the more they play, the more cohesive they become, the more difficult our task will be.
That being said, I would absolutely love to sweep them. |

| Someone who knows more give me your impression of Wall. I know he's very talented, but he doesn't have the body to do what Derrick Rose did, and he doesn't seem to have the mentality to do what Chris Paul did. I just don't get that vibe from him. I find it hard to believe he's going to live up to the hype. | |

He is smarter than Derrick Rose, but not as strong. I guess you could say he is a great player, but him being a great player doesn't mean UK will be great.

| Right I get that. He seems like a guy who will put up 15 and 5 every night. But He doesn't strike me as a guy who will take the game over at the end like Paul or Rose or Deron Williams did. Rose would just charge in and careen off of people to get to the hole, and Paul has that crazy first step and vision. I don't see Wall having that kind of athletic ability.
Maybe I'm wrong. | |

| Wall cant shoot outside very well at all but he has a very quick first step and a real nice mid range jumper he is a stud and will go pro next year along with Cousins but he definatly has IT.

| Catpause is pure trash! That website is pure ignorance at it's finest. They absolutely hate Tennessee and give them zero respect. It is funny to hear them talk about UTs defense when everyone that goes to Rupp lights it up from behind the arc and these pansy teams score high amounts of points. | |

Maybe I'm wrong. | Well, um, John Wall did take the ball full-court, tie game, with six seconds to go, and drained a 12 ft. step back jumper in his first collegiate game. That's not taking complete control of the end of the game, but still that shows his confidence. He does have that IT factor, you can just tell when he plays. And while Wall isn't complete with the outside shot, it looks good and he just needs consistency with it. | |
