A Hoosier is Cheering for Kentucky

Bob Kravitz of WTHR in Indianapolis has a warning for those who hate Kentucky. Don't read the column where he explains you should be cheering for the Wildcats.
Kravitz does make a great point and one many Kentucky fans have made throughout the year. This is exactly what you want out of a team. They are playing defense-first basketball and many stars have given up minutes and numbers for the greater good of the team. However, because it says Kentucky on the front of the jersey it's been bad for basketball. What if this was Arizona or Virginia instead?
The other point Kravitz brings up is how people accuse Calipari of running a bad program because of the one-and-done rule. Let's remember, that's a NBA rule and not something the NCAA can control. Wouldn't Tom Crean and Matt Painter take Trey Lyles in a heartbeat? You think Missouri or Michigan would be happy to have Devin Booker?
So, welcome aboard the bandwagon, Bob. Just save room for some others.
