Some freshmen make the jump between year 1 and 2, some make the jump later... Not everyone improves at the same rate.

Kendall Marshall, for example, was much better as a sophomore than a freshman.

But it's really not worth arguing with you anymore.

If you're not willing to concede that Kentucky MIGHT have lost to a UNC team that they only beat by 1 at home then there's no point even debating.
