I think we are the best team in the country right now!

I dont think we are. Hard to bet against auburn IMO. They played Duke at Duke before the OP comes back chirping about that.
 
We’re good but let’s see how the SEC goes before we start really celebrating.
The SEC is going to be a nightmare on the road. I was looking at scores tonight and once again how many teams are in the top 25. I've never seen a conference so loaded. It's going to be tough here very soon. Are we the best team in the country? Honestly, NO. We're pretty good but we do have deficiencies (especially at the free throw line which could become the thing that knocks us out if we don't improve). Auburn looks like the team to beat right now. Duke is getting better and don't neglect UCONN just because of that early season string of losses. There are many very good teams out there. Wouldn't say we're the best at all, but we are very good.
 
In the SEC alone there’s a handful of teams better than UK. You’ve got every right to sh*t rainbows if ya want 👍
 
Butler was out 2 games and came back on fire. If not for his break out performance, we might have lost.

Butler could have scored over 40 easy. So glad to see him back because we need him, especially against SEC play.

My biggest concern regarding this team is they're getting beat most of the time on 50/50 basketball plays.

Also, missing these FT's is inexcusable and this team isn't a poor free throw shooting team. Oweh has struggled sometimes.

Your #1 seeds will probably eventually be: Auburn, Duke, Gonzaga, and Kansas.

Kentucky will probably end up with a 2 or 3 seed.
 
I don't think so.

As it stands, we have an outside shot at a 1.

A 2 or 3 seed is very much in play.

We have those two good wins, but we haven't looked dominant against some of our easier teams, especially recently. Colgate, Western, and Georgia State were a bit uninspiring. Even beating UL by under 10 on our home court isn't outstanding. A top team should be expected to really drop hammer and make 1 or 2 of those want to quit basketball.
 
The SEC road games are going to be tough. Getting 3 marquee wins before conference play is huge.

Not sure UL counts as a marquee win but it sure avoids an embarrassing loss. If we had beaten Clemson that would be a marquee win. Bummer we couldn’t finish in that one. So glad we got the Duke and Gonzaga games. We are going to have to kick, scratch and claw our way through this SEC schedule.
 
Auburn is the best team in the country right now, IMHO.

But the rest of the league is tough as well.

No easy wins this season.
 
I don't disagree with OP and am 0% scared of Auburn. We need to get better at foul line...it is the only thing that truly concerns me with this team.
 
10-1
Wins over Duke-the Zags-U of L
We are avg near 90 ppg.
When this team is hitting shots no one is beating Kentucky!
You’re consistent if nothing else😬. Our defense was not good tonight. We do that in league play and we are looking at 7-8 losses. This league is historically good this year!
