Oh some absolutely will melt down. Already two threads about waning optimism and the team isn't that good.
Of course it's debatable if they are even fans. Probably a fan of a rival team. Bur even half of the real UK fans will melt down.
ESPN has Clemson favored over Kentucky Tues night
- Thread starter HerrosHeroes
- Start date

Clemson is good and they will be at home and get ACC officiating. if we shoot 3's like we have this week we lose for sure.
If we win by 15, I might gain national championship delusions lol
Road games are hard to win is the one and only reason Clemson may be favored. I have not seen the spread but I would not bet Clemson giving up just one point. What is the spread?
Simple play with a disrespected chip and win…..
prove the nay sayers wrong…..
Win Baby Win….

Barttorvik has us at about a 1 point favorite against Clemson and a 3 point underdog against Gonzaga.
Being 2-0 at the end of next week would be fabulous and would position us as one of the top teams.

I like that we’re underdogs
Play up to competition
After officiating this week our guys should be ready for ACC refs
I expect us to play hard and fight

Agree. But have you watched Clemson play?
We won't go undefeated this season. We have weaknesses.
Clemson does too.
18 days ago, Eastern Ky played on Clemson's court.
Were down 6 at halftime...Lost by 13
Clemson shot 10 more free throws
Disagree. Our first true road game.
But I do believe we win this one.
Good. The whole nation, including recruits, will be shown the out-dated, putrid offense he is still running. It should be a good announcement to the rest if the world that Cal is absolutely cooked.
…and then we can go put up 100+ on Clempsome.
It’s a hostile road environment. Ever watched the good Duke and UNC teams play there?
I never consider true road game losses as major upsets. Basketball unlike football or baseball is a sport where home court can make a 10 pt difference.
Our first road game with a team full of Road Scholars. These aren't wide eyed freshman that think they have seen everything. Clemson won't know what hit them.
Because ESPN has and will always have idiots running the behind the stage stuff. Only watch ESPN if UK is playing other wise avoid them.
It’s not really a big deal y’all. Not sure why anyone is upset over Clemson being favored
If we play our game we should win
Period

It’s fantastic that we have such a strong core of senior leaders this season. They shouldn’t be rattled. Carr has presumably played at Clemson a few times, no? The others know the drill.
I'd much rather be overlooked than overhyped. Just keep winning.
I don’t think Clemson is that good. It would be a
upset if they were to win Tuesday.
I do believe this current Kentucky team is more “upset-proof” than we’ve seen in recent years.

You serious Clark. We didn’t shoot well and have dominated.
If we all want to put stock into kenpom rankings then we can’t ignore Clemson’s ranking. Which is top 30. A top 30 team on the road isn’t gonna be an easy task. Could we shoot well and win by 15-20? Yes and I won’t be surprised. An if it’s a close game bc Clemson is playing above their norm I won’t be surprised either
I think it’s fair for people to question whether we can win in our first true road game. I think we can but it isn’t some obvious thing.
We need our outside shots to fall at a decent percentage in these next two games.
Can't miss wide open threes the way we have the last 2 games.
If our shooters are hitting, I don't think Clemson or Gonzaga can hang with us.
It was tough watching Brea and Robinson missing wide open looks, then also missing free throws.
Hopefully it was just guys not getting locked in for the teams they were playing.

We are beating Clemson by 10+. Carr, Butler, and Oweh won't allow a loss to some janky ass ACC team
If we win, we know we really have something. Depending on the context of the game, a loss doesn’t mean that we aren’t that good. Plenty of teams struggle to win the first true road game. I hope fans are staying realistic and not looking past the game. I think if you win one of Clemson and Gonzaga, you are in excellent position for a top seed this year. The door would be wide open.
