Oh darn, does this mean we aren't NIT bound?

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Well look at that...... a blow out over a top 20 RPI team. This win was so juicy and tender ..... not only did many of those UL trolls get heart broken yesterday.... but today their hopes of UK going to the NIT was crushed once and for all.


By the way........ I think we were solidly in the NCAAT before this win...

 

[caneintally]

Anyone who can't see that this team is going to at the very worst ELite 8 is blind . We have had a bad stretch due to 1 thing - Refs. Period. UK , like every year , will be ready in March because we have the best College coach in the game and one of the 5 best all time.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

well ... if the games are fair, this team can go a long way.

 

[Bigkyfan10]

Not necessarily. Personally I think we will win the rest of our home games and lose the rest of the away games giving us a 21-10 record with about 6-7 losses to non tourney teams meaning we will have to win the sec tourney

 

[The_Answer1313]

Even during the KU and Tenn games..........I mean to be up 21 in the first place at Tenn and to be up against KU at the half.......you have to be good in the first place for these things to happen.

We just need to keep guys out there. That's all.

 

[caneintally]

Exactly.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

we win our home games and lose the road games...... We are in guaranteed. no matter the SECT. We had a worse regular season 2 years ago and made it in.

 

[goforitcats]

Hope Poy is okay. We need the big fella to really be able to do anything.

Are you drunk?

 

[The_Answer1313]

I really think this talk is kinda crazy.

When it's all said and done ...........4 to 6 seed and solidly in IMO

There is not 68 teams better than UK. We will make the big dance without winning the sec tourney.

 

[.S&C.]

As I've said, with NCAA officials being on their best behavior, and this team essentially having home court advantage, we will be a final four threat all day. No one can give me 10 teams better than this team on a neutral floor.

People saying NIT were just venting. Let's not make it a huge issue.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

and by worse regular season... I meant we didnt have the wins nor RPI 2 years ago that we have now.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Maybe people should vent without being idiots.....

 

[Bigkyfan10]

If we are the tourney we will be a huge threat in the tourney, we can beat any team. Problem is we can lose to about 150 teams

Yeah we could lose to anyone on the road. Just like any other team this year. Home court advantage has been absolutely crazy this year.

Basically "freedom of movement" was just the NCAA's way of saying home teams can tackle players and road teams better never make contact with even a shirt or else its a foul ..

 

[.S&C.]

Part of venting is being idiotic isn't it?

I don't think it's something even they actually believed. Maybe I'm wrong.

Yes. That 1/2 the fun of venting, sometimes!

Like you, I don't think the were being too serious about the NIT... anything posted within a few hours of a loss should be taken with a grain of salt.

We've got some super thin skinned fans who believe everyone should cheer their way.

It's cool though. I get that too. I'm cool with all angles of BBN

I don't know about all that. The game at USC is usually a virtual home crowd. While they're better this year, Kentucky fans got the tickets before USC was even able to see what they had. So I don't think it'll be different this year

I respectfully disagree.
This is a very down yr. for college basketball.
UK sits at a respectable 17-6 and a respectable 7-3 in conference.
If we win 21 gms we are a lock for the tourney at 21-11 even if we lose in the 1st rd of the SECT.
21 wins =LOCK.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

We need him for sure. But we blew out a descent Gator team by 19 without him today.
We have guards and more guards.

Really, Serious

 

[HenryMuto]

So is it safe to say once Kentucky loses their next game the NIT talk will be back on ? That is how it is around here they win a game they are a Final Four team and when they lose a game they are an NIT team there is no in between around here with some people.

What?

Elite 8 at the worst?

What has happened to your optimism Cane?


Surely you meant Title game or NBA championship...

Dont go getting weak on us now.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Give us a 4 seed with Xavier or Villanova as our 1 seed. I'd definitely take that.

I'm afraid so what will I complain about now?
