Tim's Two Cents-December 23

While I was watching SportsCenter Monday, they were showing highlights of college basketball action from that night.  There was one game that dominated the headlines.

Kentucky Wins 2,000 Game in It's School's History.  After beating Drexel 88 to 44 on Monday, Kentucky became the first NCAA team to reach the milestone.  That's something you definitely don't see everyday.  For one thing, a program or team would have to exist long enough to have a chance to do something like this.  In professional sports, the Celtics of the NBA, the Canadiens of the NHL and the Yankees of MLB are some of the top winning teams in their respective sports.  To be in the same class as them is something very special.

In terms of the Wildcats season so far, they are among the top programs this season in college basketball.  Their in the conversation quite often when March Madness comes around.  They are having a heck of a season so far under first year coach John Calipari at 12-0 so far.  They have beaten their opponents fairly easily and John Wall is this year's breakout Freshman who is sure to be among the top picks in next year's draft.    I'm somewhat surprised that they were the first team in NCAA history to reach 2,000 victories.  I would have thought it would be someone like Duke or North Carolina.  Looking into the near future, Kentucky will be a top favorite to reach the Final Four in March, along with North Carolina.
