Had the beat Bama today I bet you would have predicted more wins
This league is tough.
Don't be surprised if UK wins at Bama.
I don't think UK will lose more than 4. I'll go 9-4. 8 and 5 at worst. 10-3 at best.
Too many put too much doom and gloom over a loss. Too many also get to cocky after a win.
They can beat any team in the conference. Also if they play bad they could lose to any team.
I think 10-3 will be the best. I also think they win at Bama.
Just because Bama won at Rupp. 90% of the fans will automatically predict the at Bama game a loss.
I'm not declaring a win at Bama. Though I like their chances. It's hard for a good team to beat another good team twice in one season.
And yet any of these outcomes will be a better accomplishment than going undefeated in the acc…..
I agree but to beat Tennessee twice or even once will be tough Missouri no slouch Ole miss Alabama again hell it's hard to win at Vanderbilt at Texas at Oklahoma hard schedule for sure I hope we steal some on the road
I said 9-6 two games ago and we went 1-1 so I will say 8-5
I'd love to hear any logic on why you think we will beat Auburn.
8-5 should be the goal (at minimum). 11-7 in the SEC this year probably gets us a 3 seed which puts you in good position. I like us to win 1/2 at home vs. UT and Auburn, win the rest of the home games, and find a way to steal at least 3 more road games (I’d say @Vandy, @Oklahoma, and @Texas are most likely, but I won’t be surprised if we steal one @UT, Bama, or Ole Miss).
One thing I’m really interested to see is how Pope adjusts when we play a team twice in one season. He’s just such a smart basketball mind that I wouldn’t say @Bama is a loss even though we couldn’t get it done at home

Why exactly would 10 and 3 be a miracle? Difficult ? Absolutely. A miracle No. UK has a coach who makes adjustments. Go listen to the post-game show and how Pope said they will adjust to the way Bama played them today.
A loss equals too much doom and gloom here. Just like a win equals outlandish predictions by many going forward.
Because they play the freaking game. Anything can happen and we’re a good enough team to beat them. They’re not invincible.
Let’s hear you present some why we won’t. You never can do that, support your shitty assertions.
Calm down bro. It's a message board post.
We may beat then or we may not. The way they look with Broome (assuming hes back by then), it's a tall ask.
In this league this year nothing is out of the question. I would take 8-5 right now and go from there.
I don’t think 10-3 would be a miracle but that would probably give us a 1 seed. 13-5 this year in the SEC would be unbelievable. If I was setting the Vegas over/under it’d probably be 10.5 or 11.5 (it was 11.5 before todays game)
ConsideringwherethisteamwasafterCalleft.....A 3, 4,or even a 5 seed is quite the achievement. It will be disappointing considering the teams they've beaten. They should be lauded more for who theyve beaten vs who they've lost to all things considered. They've allowed us to believe in UK basketball again the way they've played overall. I think thats a fair perspective
The big stretch to me is this next 4.
@Vandy much improved, slamming TN.
@Tn strong especially at home
Ark gonna get their best shot, should win.
@Olemiss been really strong
If we could somehow go 3-1 in that stretch I'd be thrilled. 2-2 very reasonable with how Vandy is playing.
Every time we lose, the whole board goes straight to we are a .500 team again lol. No. We are going to win 8 or 9 more because we are a very good team
It was a matter of speech not literal. I’m saying when we lose a game, people drastically undervalue us
Just my guess:
At Vandy W
At Tennessee L
Vs Arkansas W
At Ole Miss L
Vs South Carolina W
Vs Tennessee W
At Texas W
Vs Vandy W
At Alabama L
At Oklahoma W
Vs Auburn L
Vs LSU W
At Mizzou W
Would be 9-4 the rest of the way. Leave them at 23-8 (12-6) entering the SEC tourney and in line for a 2-3 seed.

13-0 would be difficult any year but especially this season. I’ll take 7-6 or better.
I'm gonna say 8-5, and I'll be very happy with that. I think that puts us in position for a 5 or 6 seed, which would be fair.
Some of you have lost your minds. With the players we have (which i am grateful for) and their limited athleticism and lack of defense expect at least 5 more losses.
