Would be a monumental embarassment and imo likely.
Does KU pass us in wins AGAIN this season ????
- Thread starter Wildcats1st
- Start date
I really don’t understand why this matters since they’ve played more games than us.
Because the USA is a bottom line country.
The head to head gm in Nov will play a huge part in the OPs question.
If the Cats win it I say no way KU passes UK.

Yeah imif UK wins the matchup it won't happen this year. If they win, then I guess maybe?
Let's not forget that a BIG reason for Kansas making ground on us was our disastrous year back in 2020. And while we haven't been exceptional or anything since, you won't see a +15 win swing like that ever again.

Boy them going ahead of us sure was front page news. It was everywhere you looked! Nonstop!
Not.
Not.
I’m relatively new to the board and have noticed certain trends. And your posts tend to focus on negatives. Why is that?
It's 7 games. They will beat up on the Big 12 and we will take several losses. Cal doesn't care about the SEC tournament so they are likely to gain a couple on us in theirs. Then they will likely advance further than us in the NCAA tournament. If they don't get within a game or two at least I will be surprised.
That was a big year to pick up games. I put this in another thread previously. Here is the +/- for UK coaches from Rupp onward in terms of losing or picking up games on Kansas:
Cal: -28 (-2 per year average)
BCG: -24 (-12 per year average)
Tubby: -13 (-1.3 per year average)
Pitino: -9 (-1.125 per year average)
Sutton: -18 (-4.5 per year average)
Hall: +61 (+4.7 per year average)
Rupp: +173 (+4.22 per year average)
Yes, they will for sure. Without Bradshaw/Ugo I think this is a .500 team. Likely 4 losses in non conference alone
Well Cal is our Coach and we have given up every record we ever held under his watch. Tradition and Pride are not part of what Cal thinks is important.
If we lose 10 or more games this season it's a possibility.
Because "best percentage" is a loser's argument.
It is a contrived statistic.. it takes math past simple addition to compute.
History length counts, but only because they've played basketball several years before us.
Since we lost the lead, some of us put the winning percentage above All-time Wins. It's embarrassing.
There is a chance. And an even greater chance it just happens the following season regardless. Would be like getting kicked you-know-where for the second time.
If Cal's goal remains to get the best HS kids to the NBA ASAP... then yeah, we're going to see many +15 win swings.
Some of you people could be given a brand new Mercedes-Benz Maybach and your reaction would be "gee, the tires are going to have to be replaced some day, and they'll cost a fortune."
Kentucky was just restored to All Times Wins leader yesterday. Enjoy it for a while. At least a day.
Kansas, meanwhile, is taking down a Final Four banner for cheating, while still dealing with having to cut Self's hand-picked woman-battering point guard Arterio Morris after he got busted (again) this time for rape. Don't act like that's the model anyone would want for our basketball program.
And for the record, no. Kentucky has a tougher schedule, especially in conference, but will hold the lead and gradually widen in over the next few years as Self runs out of felons to recruit.

Cal could be the first coach in Ky history to lose the all time wins lead twice.
Thank God you don't work in finance and stats.
They will never pass us again as long as Cal is coaching here.
did not take you long to figure him out
he is among a small handful of trolls on this board
You've apparently abandoned lacing any hint of sanity in your posts anymore.
Math does, in fact, matter past simple addition. I mean, we're only talking about simple division here. When athletes are running the 100-meter dash, does one runner get a head start? No. Winning percentage equalizes things if there has in fact been a head start (which in this case there has been). It's an even bigger accomplishment to have the wins lead when you are the one that hasn't been given a head start. You are right that it is easier to simply look at a win total and see who has more, but that obviously doesn't tell the whole story.
KU (aka Convict Coven or CC) has more wins than Ky ever will. They have won more games with rapists and other felons while they cheat their way through college basketball than any team in college history.
That said, KY leads in legitimate wins and CC has no hope of ever catching us.

Apparently it is only a 5 game lead. We don't even need to lose very many games. If we don't advance far in the SEC and NCAA tournaments that alone could wipe out the lead.
My goodness, we just can't be happy about anything anymore can we?
We haven't even played an official game yet, and the season is already over.
Again, Cai is in the basement of my dog house, but I'm going to try and like our guys and pull for them. Can we wait until January at least to be bummed?

How many wins did we lose when he tried to get Wall, Cousins, and Bledsoe to the NBA? How many times has Kansas ever gained more than 10 wins on Cal in a season?
I don't see them gaining more than 5 or 6 on us, at worst this year.
No, but given even if we expand it this year (say we are better than everyones best hopes), we will still have bad years. I say 4 to 6 years tops. Unless Kansas joins (SEC) or BIG10 or ACC. If BIG 12 stays the way it is, they will hardly lose games in the future. No Texas and No Oklahoma.
Why not
why not ...we got the same coach...they got the same coach that eats our coach's breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I doubt it but they should have lost like 60 games. Cal needs to step it up and extend the lead again.
That’s the main difference, I mean Cal hasn’t gotten it done against good teams the last 5-6 years for sure but their conference whistle and luck is crazy compared to what we get even at home in conference.
Duh, BBN is all too familiar with monumental embarassments the past 8 years.
