Kentucky hasn't won an NCAA tournament game in three years, since March 17, 2007. That streak will end Thursday night. ETSU is athletic and defense-minded but it doesn't have the size to compete for long with Kentucky. ETSU's best player is forward Tommy Hubbard, who is 6-4.
Not only will East Tennessee be out-manned on the court by Kentucky's superior talent, but also in the coaching department too. First year Kentucky coach John Calipari is renowned as a great game tactition. Certainly Kentucky is loaded with NBA level talent but is so much better in March than November because it is so well organized. Get a look at John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins. this will be their only NCAA Tournament and it could last six games.
