UK or KU? which one?

How come Kansas is so clearly the No.1 basketball team in the country, with Kentucky leading the rest of the country in peering through the glass? Honestly? Can someone explain this to me? I've watched a bunch of games this season and seen highlights from just about every game these two have played.

Kansas is really that much better? Just asking. I don't think anyone on Kansas stops John Wall if these two teams played at a neutral site. Just saying. If these two teams played, Wall would lead the Wildcats to a win. Is Kansas a better overall team? Probably, but if they played, Kentucky would win because of one player, the best player in the college game right now.

I can understand why you want to reward the best collection of talent but Kentucky has the best player and he would lead his team to a win over the best collection of talent. And that's what it should all be about.

PS, Kentucky's one loss was to a VERY motivated South Carolina team, where Devan Downey went out of his mind at home in an upset. Kansas meanwhile lost to Tennessee, when the Vols had just lost four players, including their best returning player. I know now Tennessee has recovered and meanwhile SoCar has fallen off of the bubble, but I think Kentucky's loss is one of those "tough road conference losses" whereas Kansas lost a national showcase game.

And if Duke's Kyle Singler REALLY DOES leave Duke early to go to the NBA to get drafted late in the second round, I might just die of laughter-overdose. Honestly.
