Forde Minutes: Don't call it a comeback

[ukfaninva]

This is an exceedingly rare sight: an underrated and underappreciated Kentucky basketball team

The Wildcats are 14-3 and have won 10 straight games since early losses to UCLA, Memphis and North Carolina. Still, they might have to go door-to-door to get votes for the Top 25. The Cats crept back into the AP poll at 25th this week, but remain on the outside in the ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll, despite ranking sixth in the RPI.
"For Kentucky to be under the radar and still have the kind of winning streak they've got going, that is amazing to me," South Carolina coach Dave Odom (5) said. "… I think Tubby Smith's done one of his best jobs. I really do."

• Indiana (6). Expectations were low for the Hoosiers -- and that was before they were beaten by Butler in the NIT Season Tip-Off. That turned out to be a respectable loss, and since then Kelvin Sampson's first Indiana team has nothing but quality defeats, if there is such an animal: at Duke, at Kentucky and at Ohio State, by a total of 15 points.
Maybe it's just me but is he talking out of both sides of his a__uhh mouth? He basically says that while we have a nice win streak we haven't beaten anyone, so we may not be as good as we appear. Then he says that Indiana has a quality loss to us. What gives?

Forde is an idiot in fool's clothing...

BUZZER BEATER
The Minutes offers an Ashley Judd (39) souvenir tiny T-shirt (pit stains included) to Butler's A.J. Graves (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=22825) (40) for his near-flawlessness at the free-throw line this season. The product of Switz City, Ind., is 82-for-83 at the stripe, his lone miss coming Nov. 25 against Kent State. Not even Jimmy Chitwood shot it any better than that.



Thought this part was interesting about ashley judd

Um, what exactly did he say that we don't agree with? I must be missing something...

You know Forde had to get a little jab in there.
