🧩 Final Prediction​

Standings Probability –

• 🟦 Sweet 16: 85% chance
• 🟨 Elite 8: 60%
• 🟧 Final Four: 35%
• 🟥 Championship Game or Win: 10–15%

Summary: Kentucky is positioned to reach at least the Sweet 16, likely the Elite 8, with a solid shot at the Final Four. A championship berth remains a tantalizing, albeit long-shot, upside—if all the pieces truly click.

---

📌 What Could Change This Prediction?​

1. Injuries or early NBA departures – especially impacting transfers like Quaintance and Lowe.
2. Tournament seeding & matchups – a path with mid-major suddenly-hot teams could lead to early heartbreak.
3. Development curve – if newcomers adjust fast (esp. Williams, Quaintance, Potter), Kentucky could outperform.

---

✅ Bottom Line​

Big Blue Nation can expect another deep tournament in 2026. If key transfers and freshmen gel alongside seasoned returners, look for Kentucky to be playing in the second weekend (Sweet 16 or beyond) with a genuine shot at the Final Four, and slim but realistic hope for its 9th title.

Hey all — I’m looking to relocate from the North MS/Memphis area in the next few years (if you know anything about Memphis, you’ll possibly understand) — I’ve thought about somewhere around Louisville, not necessarily the city proper, but the area, also thinking Bowling Green or possibly Lexington…..can any of you tell me pros/cons of any? Recommend any in particular?

Nothings set in stone — just doing some looking into different areas.

It’s going to be just me, so schools aren’t a big factor but —- always want to get in a good school district for future possible resale

Thanks in advance

I found this ranking interesting. I am not surprised where they ranked UK, but I was surprised were they ranked UT and Mizoo. Also, UF at number 5 was surprising to me, much higher than I would have expected. They have Auburn at number 11. If Auburn finishes that low, I think Freeze will be fired. What say you?

...Tulane OC Joe Craddock?

I know this has been discussed some already, but I don’t remember the particulars; and I was thinking about it again today and hoping to get some good insight and takes from those here (outside of the coaches and players, I figure this is probably the best place to get good opinions and explanations on the pros and cons). I think Johnson and Aberdeen are the two top candidates for PG2 behind Lowe; and I think PG2 is a very important spot for next year even if Lowe is healthy all season. So who would you guess should be PG2 just on what you’ve seen or read regarding these guys?

For example, who do you think has the better handle? Who is a better distributor? Who is a better driver? Who is a better floor general and leader? Those kind of things.

Collin Chandler struggles to pinpoint an exact time during his freshman season at Kentucky when things started to click once again on the basketball court.

Chandler, who was a four-star prospect and Utah's "Mr. Basketball" after averaging 21.7 points at Farmington High School, found the transition to major college basketball challenging after spending two years in Africa as part of his Latter-day Saint mission before following Mark Pope to Lexington.

Midway through he 2024-25 season, it appeared he may be getting lost in the shuffle of Pope's deep and talented UK roster, but a series of injuries in the backcourt opened the door for a bigger opportunity to play.

Chandler finished the season with modest overall numbers but scored 57 of his 82 points in the Cats' final 11 games and made 12 of his last 23 attempts from the 3-point line after starting the season at 5-for-26. He played a key role in NCAA Tournament wins over Troy and Illinois, scoring 15 points, going 4-of-7 from the arc, and recording four steals.

"I feel like there's a lot that BBN didn't see in my journey of getting back and feeling comfortable and feeling confident," Chandler said Monday during a summer Q&A session at the Craft Center. "There's a lot that went into that."

(cont) ....

Copied from Google: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder star, is eligible for a massive contract extension after winning the NBA MVP award. He can sign a four-year, $293 million extension this offseason, or a five-year, $380 million extension in 2026. The five-year extension is a supermax deal and would make him one of the highest-paid players in NBA history, according to Sports Illustrated.

Wow….
That’s just crazy money. It’s amazing that the owners can pay this kind of money and still make money. #mindblown

This is a question to the people who may bet more frequently than I do.

I was looking at NCAA title odds for 26, and Kentucky is listed at +1800. The way I think about it, there are like 5 teams with a realistic and approximately equal chance of winning the tournament, us being one. Add in some outlier events, maybe the odds would be like +800, +900?

Am I crazy or is +1800 on Kentucky a good bet? I am not going to be a lot but I was just wondering if the experts think it’s worth it.

Tells CI that he will probably go down to visit Ole Miss for a game in Oxford this fall. No more details. He has not said that he's wavering from Kentucky and when he committed, in fact, I believe he indicated that he might not be done taking visits so we've known it would be a situation where they have to continue to recruit him.

On the other hand, Hunter has been enthusiastically recruiting for Kentucky, feels some loyalty because of their early involvement, and there's the family history.

Still, at the end of the day, UK probably needs to show strides on offense under Hamdan in his second year with someone like Kiffin making a play given that track record.

Hunter told CI that he is still locked in with Kentucky.

Commitments are coming stronger now...

Everyone thought Rutgers. Has a lot of P5 offers, not too many SEC outside of Missouri/Vandy. But good offers.

247 Composite has him as a top 500 player

Thought I had won the battle vs cancer, turns out a recent lung biopsy says otherwise. Looks like some radiation in my future. First go round was in the head/neck area ( left tonsil). Anyone currently going through something similar?

Hope I am wrong and he can come here after this visit.

I want him really really badly

Razorback Gage Wood throws a no hitter against the Racers, one hbp otherwise perfect game. Was some controversy in the 9 th, he hit a batter but after originally awarding first base on review they ruled that the batter moved into the pitch so he was ruled out! announcers and this viewer were very very surprised at the ruling! Take nothing from the pitcher though, a great game by him!

Let's hear where everyone is with their workouts, diets, supplements, etc.


I'm currently diving into the mind numbing, boring AF, world of mobility training. Bleh.


Try to be encouraging only.... Lol at Wayne maxing out every workout.

Anyone know off hand what the schedule or allowances are for the team? Tryna score some scrimmage footage at some point…

Another poll that has us underrated. This past season we had an NCAA record 8 wins against Top-15 teams. We beat a Final Four team in Duke, we beat the national champions Florida Gators. If it wasn't for an unbelievable number of injuries, we were a Final Four team. Fast Forward to next season. We will be bigger, deeper & more talented than last years team. Our team next season will be so deep with quality players 1 thru 14 that we can withstand a few injuries. Any poll that doesn't have us ranked in their top 3 or 4 teams has us underrated.

Anyone feel like this spring is the new normal for KY and with the next 3 weeks showing nothing but showers and daily chances of rain. Seems something has changed from the normal we were used to. Not even gonna have a true summer this year and my garden is drowning.
