Which will be the tougher test?
I personally think at UGA because UK is going to beat them in Rupp and the game in Athens will be a revenge game for them.
On the other hand UK only plays LSU once and the Cats will be ready after losing there last season.

I personally think we are going 40-0 but as far as the closer win I think it will be at Athens.
 
LSU....they have some good players and have been lack luster this season. Will look at this game as their whole season (like most of the SEC does)
 
I agree that UGA is going to a really tough game especially in Athens. The LSU game will be tough also and is getting the most attention because they have a excellent front court. However, if we continue being undefeated, the real game to keep a eye will be the Arkansas game. I know this game is in Rupp but Arkansas is very athletic and we struggled with them last year, even with a guarantee double-double guy on the floor in Randal. Arkansas will be a really tough game,if both teams keep improving at the pace they are currently.
 
I don't think either will...UK will show up in both and win by double digits in both. UK is not going to play bad against a team they respect...I think they respect both of those teams OP. They did not respect A&M, or Ole Miss...so look for teams we do not respect to be our true "tough" games the rest of the way.

LSU and UGA are not nearly good enough to hang with UK if we bring it.
 
Equally tough. UGA is a bit more of a rivalry or a personal vendetta game bc we are both former sec east teams and played home and home for as long as I can remember.
 
All year long, I have felt the game at LSU would be our toughest conference game. They have stumbled some, but I still rank it the toughest.

Georgia could be a real battle as well. If Florida can get their heads on right, they have enough talent to beat us in Gainesville, but they have been a train wreck so far.

LSU will be the tougher test for this group.

Our last visit to Athens was in 2013 without Nerlens and we lost 72-62...Cal's only loss at Athens.

We only played one time last year at Rupp vs. Georgia and then in the SEC tourney in Atlanta.

I agree. Looking at LSU's stats, they are a solid team. They have the mix of players who can challenge us, at least for a while. They only really play 6 though so I don't think they'll hold up in the second half.
 
I think that any of these games including the game at Florida Will be tough. I didn't get to see most of the S.C game because of a blackout, but we havent looked invincible for awhile now. Although this team is undefeated, that doesn't mean we cant improve,and cant be beaten. Early in the season everyone complained about 3 pt shooting. We have improved in that area, but points in the paint have declined. I still think we are the best team in the country. I wont be completely crushed if UK loses a game in S.E.C play. The goal is#9. Whatever it takes to win it all Im O.K with. Although I can honestly say I dont know who Will actually beat UK.
 
From an outsider's perspective:

1. LSU @ LSU
2. UGA @ UGA
3. Arkansas @ home
4. UGA @ home

You beat us going away in Rupp, then by like 6 to 8 in Athens.
 
Individual talent its LSU and its not close. UGA has nice college players, LSU has at least 2 pros. And LSU's strength is in some ways our weakness, bigs that are hella athletic,block shots and can score.
 
LSU will be the toughest. Georgia isn't going to sleepwalk through their game against UK, however. Both will be out for blood and both stand a solid chance of delivering an upset.


The SEC is a grind because every team wants Kentucky, and Kentucky typically doesn't realize this until it's suffered a few letdowns. Hopefully this team is awake after the two overtime performances. We shall see...
 
Road games make people nervous, but I think fans make a bigger deal out of it than the players do.

Like an above poster alluded to, I'm not worried about any SEC team. We're on another level and if we play well, we'll beat any SEC to team comfortably, home or away.
 
I am not really worried either, but if I had to rank UK's remaining games by toughness they would be:

1. at LSU
2. at Georgia
3. at Florida
4. Arkansas
5. at Tennessee
6. Alabama
7. Georgia
8. Florida
9. at Mississippi State
10. Auburn
11. at Missouri

Only 3 of those are really 'losable' ......and LSU would be the toughest. Tuesday night game so there won't be a ton of Cats fans in Baton Rouge. We'll still have a good showing but the Big Blue Mist won't be as prevalent as at other SEC games because of distance and it being a week night.

I'll be at Georgia and expect that place to be half or more Cats fans. If we are 29-0 at that point, with half the crowd cheering the guys on, no way they are going to drop that one.
 
March 3 at UGA... It's their senior night as well, they will be ready to go. With that said, The Cats should be more efficient offensively by then and you know the defense will be there, 9:00 ESPN... GO CATS!
