Classless Kentucky? (UPDATE! Apparently Not)
You normally only hear about running up the score in football but on Monday there was an example of it in college basketball. Kentucky was destroying UNC Asheville, 92-54, and with just over two minutes left, Calipari has his freshman sensation John Wall still in the game?
It's an impressive dunk (especially since he's naturally right-handed) but there's no way Wall should be in the game at that point. Those last two to three minutes are designated for the scrubs not a potential member of the All-America team. Calipari is the Urban Meyer of college basketball.
UPDATE: It seems I was too quick to judge the Wildcats. I was hoping there would be SOME rationale behind Wall being in the game at this point and I received it from David of Oregon:
have you had a chance to realize your error in cementing UK as classless even though they only have Bledsoe and Wall at the PG position...and one of them is going to have to play late when the other is tired or getting a talking to (since they both are Freshmen) ... he briefly re-entered the game to give a much needed blow to Bledsoe
So I apologize to Kentucky fans for jumping to conclusions. Also have to say you're one rabid fan base. I've gotten more e-mails because of this post than any in my two years of writing.
