Anyone see us winning the Alabama game?
- Thread starter NociHTTP
- Start date
If Cal gets tossed in the first 30 seconds we have a chance.
We only beat Auburn because Auburn played a very bad game.
Are we playing Wagner/Edwards/Bradshaw a combined 50-60 minutes? If so, no chance in hell.
Auburn was fool's gold with their poor shooting. Rare for an opponent to shoot that bad from 3 against us. I expect another South Carolina like beat down and 4 losses out of 5 at home.
I think the answer is that it really doesn't matter with this team. They can win if the shots are falling. Or they can no show and get blown out. One thing is for certain, Cal will make zero adjustments and won't change a bit.
If they win it, it won't change the eventual outcome for this group. They are gonna get bounced early in the SEC tournament and then lose a likely 5/12 matchup in the NCAA tourney.

Hope oats blows us out by 40. And no one is in the stands to watch it. Send a message.
Somebody needs to buy one of those balls he autographs after games and put a special message on both sides.
If by some chance Alabama has a cold night shooting the ball and Kentucky wins, you can bet the Cal Boys will be in here to gloat over a regular season win while still looking up to them at #1 in the SEC.

Alabama is a lot like Auburn in the sense they have a lot of mediocre, mid-major type talent players who have overachieved.
They've gamed the metrics a bit by running up scores whenever they get a chance. Have also won 3-4 games this year where they trailed 95% of the game and pulled it out at the end (at UGA and tonight vs FLA two most memorable examples).

Yes…I could see us winning that one but wouldn’t be surprised to loose 3/4or even ALL 4 of Miss State, Vandy, Arkansas and Tennessee. This team is streaky and incredibly unpredictable. They are a really likeable group, hate to see the repetitive disappointment this season. But hey…that statement of repetitive disappointment goes back to all of last year, the first round exit in 22, the post Covid disaster, the cancelled tournament, the failure against Auburn in the elite 8, the missed free throws against KSU, the rooferee and the buzzer beater, loosing to Indiana in the second round…failing to finish Wisconsin, falling short to UCONN twice, heading to the NIT to loose to Robert Morris, brick after brick against West Virginia….Evansville, UNCW…etc etc….one time we made the successful run…quite a few near misses that we should have finished something and then a tailspin towards mediocrity. I would love to have seen Cal win one and retire on top…but regardless we need a fresh look, we need a change in philosophy, and I understand the days of old are never coming back…NIL, transfer portal, g league, overtime elite..it’s all different.
Who cares? The only thing that matters is winning in March.
We won't win if Cal keeps giving the divas minutes they don't deserve.
Bradshaw shouldn't even be in the rotation at this point. Wagner should be relegated to about 10 minutes.

This question tells you how far KY basketball has fallen with Cal.
Oats comes rolling into Rupp getting ready to win his 3rd SEC championship in the last four seasons at a football school.
Our buffoon coach can only finish mid pack at a blue blood basketball program in a football conference.

I think that’s where most of are now. Hard to be excited for a game knowing we can and will lose at least 5 more games this season
Honestly, no. But I didn’t think we’d beat Auburn either.
I just think Alabama’s offense will be too much.
Our offense has regressed the past few games with Cal going back to his beloved floppy/horns action, and our defense is still too inconsistent.
We can’t get into a track meet against Oats, even with this group.
Oats’ offense can shoot itself out of games at times, I think that’s our best bet.

I would just call that a good college team, and it’s what I wish we had. I don’t particularly care about draft projections if the players are going to leave Kentucky before reaching their potential and without winning anything.
You think any of us really care about when he reaches the ten loss mark? Of course we're about March.
When UK takes another early March exit, you’ll be here saying “who cares?” look at all these recruits we have coming in!!!!
P.S. we haven’t been winning in March for awhile either.
those three should 8,9 and 10 off our bench
We win the Alabama game and Cal will claim it was his brilliant coaching.
I don't even think it matters at this point we're pretty much locked into a 7-10 seed. If we win our first game we're gonna be playing a big boy in the 2nd round.
