10 games left. What ya got?

[Catman100]

At Vandy
Gonzaga
Ole Miss
At Auburn
At LSU
Alabama
At Miss St
Arkansas
Vanderbilt
At Tennessee

8-2 best case? L's at Auburn and Tenn.
4-6 worst case? L's all road games and one more home loss.

I am thinking 6-4.
Win the next 3 of 5. L's to Auburn and possibly Ole Miss or at LSU.
Then we go 4 of 5. L's At Tennessee. Worried we might lose one of the Alabama or Arkansas game.

This Vandy game is huge. Lose it and we could be in big trouble. As in season over may end up in NIT big trouble.
Hoping for 7-3 rest of the way, but 6-4 might be slightly more realistic.

 

[drew_ukfan]

I think 5-5

 

[jedwar]

5-5 with losses coming against UT, Bama, Auburn, and 2 of Ole Miss, Gonzaga. MSU and LSU. 4-6 would not suprise me at all.

Lose first round of SEC.

8/9 seed and lose first round.

Cal prove me wrong, please!

 

[WeWant9]

Honestly, got to see what they do at Vandy tomorrow. If they come out with another slow start and let this Vandy team stick around, well it might be time to stick a fork in them.

I’ll go 6-4 for now, and hope one of the wins is either at Auburn or Tenn. This team really needs another quality win. My excitement level for the end of the season has dropped a lot the last two weeks.

 

[know1]

6-4.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

6-4 or 7-3.

[YardCat]

5-5 is what I expect, but who knows what this team will do.
6-4 if we play well.
I just don’t see this team winning 4 games in a row

 

[Mike-McD]

5-5. I would love to lose my ban bet against @$Z71$ but it doesn't look good right now.

 

[MegaBlue05]

5-5

Losses at UT, at Auburn, at MSU, at LSU (Collins has career night and taunts Cal and the UK bench after making his third three of the game and 4th three of the season) and either a loss at Vandy or dropping another home game.

Hope I’m deadass wrong, but the team I’ve seen the last 2 weeks instills zero confidence in me.

This sounds about right, it would fall right in line with what has happened the last few years.
Then we have 6 players leave at the end of the season, only 3 should leave. (Dilly, Reeves and Mitchell) we might have more then 6 leave.

24-11 Final record

 

[L.O.D.]

6-4. Auburn n UT are losses and we lose 2 of the rest. Enter post season at 10 losses and 11 entering ncass . Just going by what I see not what I want. An yeah it sucks

 

[rick64]

Really need to win them all to help their resume and NCAAT seeding. But I seriously doubt that happens. Agree 8-2 best case scenario with L's at Auburn and at Tenn.

 

[JonathanW]

6-4 which I’m not happy with

 

[FanofUK]

We get Wagner/Mitchell back healthy, this team locks in defensively and we go on an insane run.
9 out of the next 10, Win SEC tourney going away and win the natty.

Screw sunshine pumping, we have awesome guards a top 10 prospect that will find his way soon and one of the 3 7footers will start asserting themselves as the alpha.

If it does not happen life still goes on for me, I am not nearly as emotional on it as I once was. It is just harder than it used to be, and young kids tend to let you down more than not.

I do however still believe this team has what it takes. They have to start believing it at some point.

NCAAt seeding is a lost cause at this point. Just get in and hope. Kentucky isn’t going to be in a position where they get to nitpick seeding

 

[Klix]

If they go 4-6 I promise you they aren’t making the tourney

Even thinking abt missing the tourney with this squad makes me sick

 

[FilsonCat]

4-6 with wins over Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas, and Vandy at home. We are playing awful basketball right now.

24-11 Final record

That’s my hope as well but if they do this and maybe sneak out 1 more win in the sec tourney I could see them getting a 5 seed In the ncaa tourney

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

It would be beyond embarrassing, but the sad part is I can see it happening. I honestly have no clue what happens these next 10 games at all. Tuesday is the perfect example, Kentucky should win that game by double digits and be on cruise control. But we all know Kentucky will let vandy hang around and make the game way tougher than it should be

Vandy only averages 66 ppg, bet everything on them getting 80-90

 

[ManitouDan]

I know this , IF Z is available Wed pm and Cal plays him 3-5 minutes , I'm down , out , quit , I'll never watch another game until he's gone . Win or lose .

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I just saw an article that 8 of the 21 teams Kentucky has played this year had guys who aren’t great shooters have their career high 3 point shooting game

 

[CatPhight]

That’s my hope as well but if they do this and maybe sneak out 1 more win in the sec tourney I could see them getting a 5 seed In the ncaa tourney

Thing is, I don't feel very confident about my prognostication.

Unless we see Cal part the sea defensively, we're likely teetering between just getting in and a NIT bid.

 

[hoggwildcat]

We will not beat Alabama, they have won 10 of 11, and have a high scoring offense, and our defense is God awful. Another 100pt opponent output in Rupp. Actually, we have let a lot less offensively talented team put up big numbers, so Alabama may break an all time Rupp scoring record.

I don’t either, it’s more just hope at this point. I hope they get things fixed

[Kuhldaddy]

5-5. Another home lose-to Alabama. Only road win at Vandy. They are abysmal

 

[ib4ky]

My W/L range as the UK ship is taking on water. 3-7 to 7-3

@Vandy (60% W)
Gonzaga (65% W)
Ole Miss (70% W)
@Auburn (75% L)
@LSU (55% L)
Alabama (60% L) Bama may drop 120 on UK!!! 😯
@Miss St (60% L)
Arkansas (85% W)
Vandy (90% W)
@Tennessee (75% L)

I think these next three are very winnable games that will make or break UK for the season.
Play good, win all three handily, build some confidence, play well enough to win at least one of next three, split the last four. Finish the regular season's last ten games at 5-5, 9-9 in SEC and 20-11 overall, playing in SEC tourney on Thursday in 2nd round.
Also, I believe if the ship is not turned around BIG TIME, there could be 1-3 player "Opt-Outs" with some magical injury before the regular season is over, if not already............

 

[JFCats22]

7-3

 

[wildcat2243]

4-6 with wins over Ole Miss, Alabama, Arkansas, and Vandy at home. We are playing awful basketball right now.

I agree

 

[Mike-McD]

If we win the next three, the entirety of Rupp Arena will be filled with Cal's farts during the postgame.

And then he'll rip our hearts out losing the next 4 and dodge the postgame.

 

[ORCAT]

5-5, at best and very possibly 4-6. We're just an ugly mess at the moment. Hope I'm terribly wrong.

 

[MachineHead1]

4-6, second round SEC tourney exit, 9 seed, out.

 

[FilsonCat]

We will not beat Alabama, they have won 10 of 11, and have a high scoring offense, and our defense is God awful. Another 100pt opponent output in Rupp. Actually, we have let a lot less offensively talented team put up big numbers, so Alabama may break an all time Rupp scoring record.

I think we match up better with Alabama than a Tennessee or South Carolina. If Alabama runs and speeds the game up, that will play to our advantage. If they slow it down and make the game a rock fight, you are probably right that the Cats will fold.

 

[Wonky]

6-4.
