Final record

What everybody feeling as of right now on the record

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I went 20-11. I think they get another shock road win maybe 2 and the. Finally wake up and get these 3 home wins they should

Faaarrrr Pope!

I was the first to say that on here. Not seriously, but I was the first.

I hate how possible 13 losses is.

@Miss, @Texas, @Bama, @OU, @Mizzou are all going to be tough. So all five road games are possible L’s.

Will we sweep Tenn? Beat Vandy and Auburn at home? Only two “easy” games left, and nothing is truly easy, especially when you can’t defend.

And we’ll lose a game in the SEC tourney.

The way this team plays they can win 3-4 road games and lose all 3 of those home games. It’s bizarre

Depends on whether we get a point guard back or not. But I'm still going with 22 wins.

 

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

My preseason prediction was 22 wins. After last night, I say 21-10 now.

No way we go 7-3 with the schedule ahead.

 

[stenchymouse]

We have a BUNCH of losses out in front of us, especially if Butler doesn't come back!!

If you can't manage to beat a horrible arkansas team at rupp I don't see how anyone can be excited for the rest of the season.

Kentucky losing to OSU, UGA, Vandy and Arky didn't surprise me. Beating Duke, UT, and Florida also didn't surprise me. Hell, if they lost to South Carolina and then turned around and beat #1 Auburn it also would not surprise me.

 

[OmahaCats]

With ten games left, I think 4-5 more wins is most realistic. Unless Butler magically gets healthy. Going .500 will be really tough . 3-7 the rest of the way might even be more realistic. Hopefully not. But it’s tough to see anything much better in the conference with no point guard

 

[FirewithFire]

I'm at 19-12 if Butler is done and I think he might be. This team just isn't good enough, or deep enough, to overcome the loss of two point guards. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[Terrapin_Station]

19-12 or 18-13 looking like real possibilities. We may not win another road game, and Auburn will crush us.

Need to beat Vandy.

Until you know about Butler hard to predict. They are a really good team with him. If he was out for the year you would know by now. The issue is if he does come back he is 1 play from popping it back out.

The one positive about losing in the first weekend is that you get to hit the portal earlier than everybody else. You can line up your big board. This is going to be such a critical spring of recruiting in the portal for Pope.

I truly hope that he sees Lewis as a backup point guard and not as a starter. If we have learned anything, it's hard to utilize a freshman as a starting point guard.

Even horrible teams can get up for a game or two.

True. Here’s to getting bounced early. Might as well because we don’t have a team that can make noise anyway.
