I haven't agreed with Calipari much these days, but I do think he was right on point when he said every game is going to be a struggle. He's right..I don't see this team having enough mental strength or a high enough basketball IQ to not stub their toe. Here are the games that concern me the most:
1. At Arkansas (I think we lose this one)
2. UT here (I think we win)
3. At MSU. (I'm a little torn, but I wouldn't be surprised with a loss)
4. Auburn here (We win, avenging last year)
5, Arkansas here (I think we win)
In ten games this team could lose a game we should easily win-at Ol' Miss, at Georgia, or at Florida. Kentucky is still a signature win for anyone, and they'll all be out for blood.
Anyway, Mr. Positive says 8-2 with a regular season sweep over UT. Mr. Negative says, 6-4 with another bad loss.
My other guess is that even if we go the 6-4 route, we pick up a couple of strong wins in the SEC Tournament, and make the NCAA Tournament at an 8-10 seed.
