One metric in our favor. We not starting from scratch.

Theoretically, we have players that produced next year. I believe this graphic does take in to affect the level they played as well. So yes we have mid majors, but good ones. We are in the blob of logos with Duke and Utah Up and right of the Nexus point. Not SEC championship level. But back to bowl games if coaches well.

Dick Vitale will be on the UK-Bama game this Saturday

What’s the over/under on how many times he talks about Calipari?

Be prepared to hear what a great hall of fame coach he is and how UK fans are crazy for pushing him out. (Also, the same man who relentlessly hammered us for pushing Tubby out).

I can hear him already “He got a raw deal from the fans baby, but he came back to Rupp and dropped a W”.

I guess he won’t mention how Cal left us for a SEC rival after lying to our face on TV while he was currently talking to Arkansas. Then taking 3 key players with him and making Pope start from scratch.

Aike’s model - Post Alabama Update - 2/23/25

Was almost too aggravated to run this today, but the more I thought about it, I felt like we did enough well that it wouldn’t ding us much.

As it turns out, we held onto the exact same spot and actually IMPROVED our rating very slightly.

Basically, both teams played at an Elite Eight level yesterday. We were done in by being on the road, and probably getting a bit “unlucky.” I’ll let you decide what unlucky means.

Fairly remarkable to be playing at such a high level down 2 (3) key guys. For the most part, we are probably still undervaluing this team.

The latest:

1. Auburn 4.23
2. Duke 3.60
3. Tennessee 3.21
4. Houston 2.93
5. Florida 2.83
6. Gonzaga 2.75

UK may be very difficult for the committee to seed this year

We are 5-1 vs the current top 7 teams in the country!!!
And 2 of those wins came with a short-handed team/starting-5.
And we still have 2-5 more games to play vs those top 7. I'm sure we will lose at least 1, probably 2, possibly 3 of them. But could we add 1, maybe 2, possibly 3 more wins vs the top 7?

Yet we have 5 losses to unranked teams: Arkansas, Ohio St, Georgia, Vandy, & Texas.
But 3 of those also came with us being short-handed.
And with them out probably at least 1 more week, a good chance Robinson at least 2 more weeks, we could finish the regular season anywhere from 5-1 to 0-6 (but probably in the 3-3 range)

Now suppose Butler and Robinson (I think Butler will, I'm doubtful Robinson will) both return before Selection Sunday, playing in the SEC-T.

Just looking at our best wins, we are a 1 or 2 seed.
Looking at our losses we are a 4 or 5 seed.
If we still have guys injured, you probably need to drop us a line or two.
But if they return, shouldn't you move us up a line or two?
