Boysssss it’s gonna be a long season…

KenPom picked us to lose 13 games. I’d say this is at worst a 10-loss team, unless Williams had a season ending injury tonight (perish the thought).

Kenpom also said this.....

"Like you, I’m not comfortable with Villanova at 20th or Kentucky at 43rd. Dayton at 27 seems high. But given that the ratings work well for the vast majority of teams, I don’t want to completely dismiss the oddballs, either"

I think even tho the system has us 43rd, he believes we'll be better than that.

But no complaining from me. Just stating the obvious. We don’t have SEC talent or athleticism. Slow footed. I don’t worry about the offense, although it could struggle against top tier competition as well, but the defense is where we are gonna struggle. And rebounding. But I’ll take a year or 2 of pope getting his players in place over another year of Cows 1 and done early round exits.
You came to that conclusion based on what, 2 exhibition games? Cmon man.

Good lord.

Arkansas will lose more games. I actually think we will be a top 15 team this year. Shooting, some solid defenders, we run a good offense, veteran leadership. Watch and see.
 
Defense has me concerned but, I haven't seen enough to make any sort of judgement one way or another about this team. We have a LOT of unknowns right now. And there will be growing pains to be sure. Let's revisit this after we get a few games under our belt and maybe a win against Dook, ok?
 
Time to get getting. Tomorrow night. Take care of game 1 and then on to saturday. Enjoy this season guys. Gonna be some serious fun (style alone will make it fun), but I believe we have what it takes in the guards department to have a great year, I think we have the shooters (1-4) positions to have a great year and finally I think out defense will be above solid, meaning good to possibly great with 2 guards and 2 bigs that can play defense and Robinson will get steals. There are some good teams in the SEC so gonna be a tough road but one we have a chance to manage.

I say ^^^ this ^^^ ( well stated)

For me, in a nutshell, this Kentucky team is going to do just fine. Going to be a nice year to fly under the radar.

.... if that lasts very long..... we shall see.

I'm pumped !

Go Big Blue !

I don't necessarily have a problem with the post. People can make whatever early diagnosis they want. The post isn't outlandish. But the title?? Sure, we're gonna lose some games. And maybe our ceiling isn't quite as high as some other teams. But, any losses won't make this season long. What makes a season long is losing without playing your best players and lineups. What makes a season long is zero pre-game preparation. Zero in game adjustments. Zero creativity on Off or Def. A circus of mysterious injuries and players not playing. Condescending remarks from the coach to the fans. That's ALL GONE!! Now, any losses will be at least going down playing traditional Kentucky basketball. Program first basketball. A coach being accountable and upset about losses. No, friend, this will not be a loooong season. It's going to be a fun, refreshing, rebirth of a season. This season doesn't have to be about wins and losses. IMO, it's a season long celebration already.
 
I don't remember that either. I mean maybe one or two weirdos, but we always have troll posters. I'm calling BS too. Making crap up for an agenda.
Yeah . He’s just making crap up . There was some criticism about coaching decisions, but NOBODY was calling for him to be fired after the best season in years .

It is an interesting take because I think if you asked most.......they would say we are a bit on the underrated side.

So I guess we are about to find out.
