Big UK Fan But In Spite Of Our Record I’m Not Convinced We Are Top 10 Team, Maybe Not Top 20.

[B.B.H.]

Obviously anything can happen the rest of the year and in the tournament especially but I see nothing about this team so far that leads me to believe we won’t compete for the league title or Tournament title and have a great shot to go pretty far in the big dance. We are deep, experienced, can shoot the crap out of the ball, and have a great staff. I know 100% we won’t lose because we weren’t prepared and that alone is worth the change.

And the coach is trying to reinforce good habits rather than berating dudes to the degree that they forget how to make a Jumpshot or get beat back door while looking on the sidelines.

Don’t forget running actual sets, scouting opponents, and teaching inbound plays.

Some people remind you that optometry deserves more attention. I still have no idea what some people were seeing on the film that led to such abysmal conclusions

As an optometrist, I cannot say I agree with your assessment.

Even if doing my job perfectly and providing patients with the means with the absolute best sight they can have, I have no medical means to improve their vision...that's usually either a character or mental health issue 😉

🤣

OP is getting crucified but I don’t think it’s THAT outrageous of a take to say we’re ONLY top 20. I think most people would be very happy with top 20 going into the year.

I personally feel we’re in the 7-12 range but finishing around 15-20 is within the realm of possibilities

I think it was more the tone (acknowledging Duke's "lack of" as only Duke just didn't as opposed to giving ANY credit to UK) combined with "not top 10, maybe not top 20". Also, watching this team and assuming there is no chance without making a ton of 3s means you aren't watching this team b/c the defense won the Duke game.

Even if thinking the Cats may be a bit high in the top 10, there is a big gap b/t "top 10 may be too high" and "not even being top 20".

That's fair. And yeah I completely disagreed with the post because we beat Duke soundly in the 2nd half without making threes. Showed we have multiple ways to win

Of course we have some tough teams coming up like Gonzaga and the SEC but Ky with its experience and great shooters and size will do well we just have to wait and see how thing goes but I have alot of confidence in this team.
