Why Kentucky will win: Color me captivated by Kentucky's recent offensive explosion. Keep this up and the Wildcats might not lose another game. It also strikes me as the perfect "Why not us?" formula for postseason play. The SEC tourney would be my first choice as a ticket buyer, so I'm going with the best show in town. -- Lunardi

Tough to not have an off night playing 4 games n 4 days potentially.
Maybe that's what he's counting on. We have more weapons than anyone else, and probably have a better chance at having at least two hot hands on any given day, as opposed to some teams like South Carolina, Tennessee, and Auburn.
It's gonna be tough to do.. because unlike in years past, it isn't just going to be one or two tough games, every game that isn't Vandy and Mizz will be a tough out.
However.. on a neutral court where our opponents aren't getting home cooking, AND aren't shooting lights out in Rupp.. I pick us as well. That's also another week away and I think we're only getting better.

Tennessee is closer to us offensively than they are south carolina. They've got 4 guys who can hurt you on any given night
When you have 8-9 guys who can lead you in scoring an off night is an anomaly. 2-3 guys are off but the others pick up the slack. Off nights happen to powerful offenses who only have 2-3 weapons. My 2 cents. Our defense giving up over 100 is a problem but offensively an off night is the last thing I'm worried about.
What will be tough is conditioning. BigZ is not going to last playing 4 games in 4 days.. heck even a back to back will be tough for him.
And that includes over using Shep.. it includes guys that are nicked up like Tre, DJ and Adou. It wouldn't hurt to use a little platoon in the SECT, keep the bodies fresh and help prevent injury. Really just out muscle other teams and run them ragged.

I’m telling you, kid has to switch to lights or ultra lights, minimum.
Yeah, that will be a problem. I agree spreading out minutes is only option. If we lose we lose. I know people are gonna bash me but not a big deal.
I'd rather be healthy 100% for ncaa tournament.
Beat UT Sat and I’ll believe we can do it. Only team in the SEC we haven’t really played well or match up well with.
our best teams have done it. It’s time to be Kentucky again.
I've never cared about winning the SECT. I think it's a nice little trophy that gets totally overshadowed by NCAA titles, Final 4s, elite 8s.. and honestly probably Sweet 16s.
The SECT final does nothing for seeding. And it's arguably too many games in too few of days, for it to be worth it. I only care about it when it comes to seeding. And honestly I think so long as you don't lose early in the SECT, it largely has no effect on seeding. We just need to get to the semis.
This is one of our best offenses. If by "team" you mean on both ends, than absolutely not. You gotta' be able to shut people down. Loyola Marymount found that out.
I believe every team that has been coached by Cal that went to the final four was in the championship game of the SEC tournament
so its important from a precedent standpoint they make it.

That applies to every other team in the SEC as well.
If anyone has an off night they're generally going to lose.
Lunardi predicted we'd win it? LOL, kiss of death.
it would be great to win 10 straight
i would take 6 straight in the NCAAT
we may be the only team deep enough to win 4 in 4 days
