Ask Larry: Bradley just can't seem to let a good thing speak to itself ...

Elliot Hammer: Bradley just can't seem to let a good thing speak fo itself...And, until he can, UK just isn't at the championship level "focus" that you reported Crawford speaking about. At Arkansas, Bradley apparently just had to let his emotional 2 cents worth ruin a terrific second half effort and resultant victory. An AP writer, Noah Trister, wrote that after Bradley had done the cool thing of dribbling out the won game (rather than taking a "hot dog" shot at the end): "He then taunted the Arkansas fans by holding his hands up behind his ears as if straining to hear them." If this is what happened, then this is continued immaturity, and I wonder if someone on the UK staff pointed out certain "facts of SEC life" that Bradley still has a hard time appreciating, like: UK might have to play Arkansas in the SEC tournament. If so, Charles Thomas might be able to play for them, and Arkansas will bring almost as many fans to that tournament--particularly to a semifinal or final game - as UK will.
