Nice factoid

Sucks we had the injuries and a few bum games, but the only great team we've lost to is Bama. Basically 7-1 against the top 15. 10-6 against the rest. Kinda crazy but I'd take it over the inverse.
 
Holding firm in my assessment of this team that they - for the most part - simply play to the level of their competition overall. And when the competition sees Kentucky and rises to the occasion, Kentucky tends to not and has to play catch-up, disrupting the entire flow - thus, you get results like Ohio State and Arkansas. Not excusing those performances at all, especially Arkansas, but I think data would support this observation.
 
If we can replicate in March. We will have ourselves a heck of a first season from Coach Pope. Pretty important.

I interpret it as we could easily lose in the early rounds of the tournament, but no one is going to want to face us in the Elite Eight or later.
