Cats got two tough road games this week. Come out of those with wins, and we will be looking good starting Feb. Rupp will be rocking 2/3 for Tenn.
Houston is not better than UK and the fact they are even top 5 is stupid
They have played three teams that are decent, Iowa State (Loss) TCU (Loss) & Texas Tech (Win). I think Texas Tech was the only one that was ranked at the time.
They are a pretender, and just like Purdue, they will flame out in the First Weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
Honestly, none of the top 5 scares me. Now there wouldn’t be any gimmies, but give me any of those teams on a neutral court.
There was no way we were jumping UT with their performance on Saturday.
TN is a joke away from Knoxville, Houston is a fraud, we know what happens to Purdue in March. UNC has gotten better since we played them and look really tough. UCONN is good and Hurley can coach circles around Cal.
Glad we bumped Kansas. Just like when UNC passed us after our OT loss to A&M, KU's win over us shouldn't matter as much anymore, given the precedent.
The teams I worry about are Auburn and Arizona. May not even see either of them in March but if we do it’ll be a tough game for both teams
Every road game in the SEC will be a war and UK will continue to get everyone’s best effort. The Cats will need to tighten up their defense and rebounding to win on the road from here on out. No more easing off the gas when they have a big lead..
Are you contractually obligated to mention Cal in all of your posts?
Arizona is getting more and more Caleb Love dominated (as he does) so I don't worry too much about them. In the first half of the year, their 5 starters were all really close together, now Love is at 18 at the expense of the others. Krivas, Lewis, and Bradley have also taken a step back.
The SEC seem very top heavy.
Three in the top 10. Then the rest of the league is unranked.
The SEC #4-12 look pretty even. Mizzou and Vandy are terrible, but the rest are decent.

I hope TN and UK both can win these next 3, and hope TN is ranked higher than us when they come into Rupp.
We have yet to see this team play angry, and I hope having a team coming into our house ranked higher than them would make them angry.
It sure worked in the Miami game, they were dialed in against (at the time) a higher ranked team.
Let's do it again next Saturday!

Apparently they didn't watch us on Saturday! Good! I like where we are just fine. It's where we finish that matters.
So are they gonna keep us out of the top 3 because of that one UNCW loss (granted it was a horrible loss) but we look 100x better now that our bigs are playing.
Their defense is historic, they don’t score but it would be a battle of best defense vs offense if we played them.
Purdue is legit this year. They can count on 30/18 every game from Edey. He is pretty unstoppable, only a ref who fouls him out or gets him in serious foul trouble will derail them this year I believe. Maybe they year again choke but I wouldn’t want to see them before the final 4.
Love will either shoot them to a final 4 or flame them out. No in between IMO.
Purdue is absolutely legit. They are a much better team than last season. Nobody on earth can stop Edey. Unless he gets in foul trouble.
Not poll related but it is interesting to see several bracket people putting Auburn over Kentucky in seeding when Auburn has 0 quad 1 wins the very thing people are complaining about why Kentucky is not being seeded higher with only 2.
The ACC is weak this year, but UNC will be a #1 seed in March. I hope Kentucky can win these next two road games.
It only took Kansas losing 4 games to drop out of the top 5, that's horseshit!! Duke at 12? I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't look at the new polls.
I like that Duke and Kansas are behind us, but I just wish that NC and TN were too. Then I would be extremely giddy because I hate them also.
GO BIG BLUE!!!💙💙💙
Given their recent history in the tournament...they haven't fared too well as a #1 Seed.
Yep. Same with his former counterpart at UNC, RJ Davis. UNC relies heavy on Davis too.
Michigan St is similar too with Tyson Walker being way more of a focal point on offense than last year.
Oh yeah Walker has to get 30 or State can’t score, at least UNC has a couple other options. But overall yeah, if Davis goes cold or some team shuts him down they will be In trouble.
