We have matchup problems all over the court. The only matchup I think we have an edge in is at the 5 spot. So how do we win? I wanna beat them so bad but having a hard time making myself believe we can actually do it unless we go something like 20-40 from 3 and realistically that’s just not gonna happen

Really posting this after your hero got his ass handed to him by Baylor who got drilled by 40 against Gonzaga

You're right. I said that in a harsh way. I apologize.

What I meant was that their sample size is way too small still - only 2 games - to even think about asking this question.

I said make me feel better about the game. So if u disagree with me how about explain your reasoning and that would help me feel better about it. Make sense? Lol

You made the claim, so it's on you to prove your claim.

You start by listing these supposed "match up problems". Then people will start either agreeing or disagreeing. That's how this works.

Setting up the excuses already!

If the whipper snapper is cramping v Army I can’t imagine what he’s going to experience chasing our Mach V team up and down the court all game tomorrow night!

so it's a bit of a lose-lose for fans at a program like UK or even NC State.

If the Bama’s and UGA’s can’t stockpile players, then I think this is ultimately a benefit to UK.

Our 2021 team was largely built with NIL dollars and transfers, one of only 4 ten win seasons we’ve had.

IU, Vandy and Iowa State are all doing well, though they have never won ten games in a season.

NC State has one ten win season in its history.

But it’s definitely the Wild Wild West, now, and a crap shoot.

I've wondered about Keenum. Eli isn't exactly killing it at Center (I believe an argument could be made he's one of the worst in the starting group) and, earlier in his career, he was looked at as a cornerstone at OG. I've wondered why Keenum, if he's the heir apparent, hadn't moved Eli back to OG and taken over the C position. If C is a priority to find in the portal, this does not sound like Keenum has developed as they expected. As K-Time said, even more evidence that OL coaching has slipped significantly since Schlarman, RIP.

I’m with ya here. Seems like Eli has taken step back last 2 years.

It is hard to imagine anyone outbidding the brands in football. Plus the recruiting landscape isn’t changing. Kids in the south want to play in the south. The south has more D1 talent.

With that said it is also tied to scheduling. IU is a great example of catching the perfect schedule with a new coach. He flat killed it in the portal in all the right spots. He may not be able to replicate it over time but some years the schedule just breaks right.

A cap is coming but at the end of day NIL will always be around which the brands will be able to support at a higher level than a UK or Louisville.

I think UK football was screwed the day they expanded the conference. It would have been OK if they added 2 teams with similar resources as UK. Adding Texas and Oklahoma with all their resources-football tradition made it impossible. UK basketball will always be a top 5 program but as we have seen others are now investing in basketball making it more challenging.

Louisville on the flip side is in a conference they can financially compete in with both sports. They won’t have better rosters or teams than UK but good enough to challenge in ACC. Plus easier path to playoff. Also easier sell to boosters.

I do think the SEC and Big Ten have created monsters and if they aren’t careful they will eat themselves.
