I like that site, but haven't really dug into the way they analyze data.

Is it sort of like Kenpom?

I'll take a 3 point win.

I'll be at the game. Last time I watched UK play at Vandy they got beat by like 41 and only scored 11 in the first half. Gillispie's first year. Worst SEC loss in UK history.

I think Billy G deserves a second chance.

Heck, I'll take a 1-point win on a controversial terrible last-second ref's call.

I've pulled him up a few times because he's been way more bullish on UK than other systems.
That said, if you look at Sagarin, pretty solid, they have the UK-Vandy game essentially coming down to the last shot.

Must be factoring in recent foul data.

 

[Mike-D]

Does it factor in screw jobs? We are actually 23-5.

Sure, he needs to run a gauntlet from Lexington to Berea

 

[Bkocats]

don't care as long as we win. Said in another thread it might be good for us to walk out of there with a close win.

 

[FlCATFan]

Give us a W no matter the size and I'll be berry, berry happy!

I agree. A win's a win.

Well, Stallings might be on the hot seat.......

(Just saying)

We've had a lot better teams than this one lose at Vandy. I'll take a split in the next two, and be happy.

I think this will be one of those games that if we win, we walk out of there with a grateful attitude. Don't consider it an automatic win.
Would be nice to see them win big to make up for that loss you witnessed when BCG was the leader of the pack.

UK #1 in offensive efficiency! One of the benefits of having the best PG.

 

[KA4Prez]

KenPom has us losing 74-73.

Interesting ratings site. If you scroll down a bit and plug in UK against all D-1 teams on neutral floor only one team beats us....Virginia...hmmmm.

You can throw all stats and logic out the window at Memorial Gymnasium. It's just a different monster.

Last time I saw Kentucky play Tennessee in Knoxville they lost by 30 so I feel your pain. Because of unexpected parking issues, by the time I sat down Kentucky was down by like 15 points and the game was pretty much over.

I'd take a 1 point win and smile away
The Warriors would have trouble winning at Vandy if they wore UK uniforms.
