A Tough Life
Folks in Lexington have it rough.Kentucky needs a Final Four run.
It's been since 1998 that the Blue and White spent the final weekend of a college basketball season playing.
By Kentucky's regal standards, that's an eternity.
Will this year's 'Cats win their way to St. Louis? Between upperclassmen Kelenna Azubuike and Chuck Hayes, transfer Patrick Sparks, and "fab four" freshmen Rajon Rondo, Ramel Bradley, Joe Crawford and Randolph Morris, Kentucky will have the talent to make a run at the national championship. But because Tubby's team will be young and because club chemistry remains a question mark, Vegas (baby, Vegas!) has the Wildcats as 15-to-1 for the title. A little generous, perhaps, as the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets also check in at 15-to-1.
