Predictions for tonight's game and the rest of the year

[ukfan1622]

So far this season the only thing about UK's team you can predict is unpredictability but I'll give it a shot anyway.

When UK fans are excited about their team UK gets tough to beat at Rupp. During the Pitino years it seemed like the only question about our home schedule was whether we'd lose one or zero. The excitement is back and I think the home court edge is back. Now I doubt if we're going to go undefeated this year as the league is just too tough; the 'bama and Auburn games might be a pickem and anybody could beat them if they laid an egg but hopefully they've learned enough that we won't see many more of those. I think we'll lose to either 'bama or Auburn but not both or beat them both and lose one that surprises everybody.

But not tonight. The team seems to be in a good place right now. Brea has killed it in Rupp this year and he's due for another hot game and I see UK winning by 6-10 points. If Brea is hot and Jaxon stays hot it could get ugly for A&M.

I predict I will weigh all the good/bad and try to talk myself into watching live but will not. Might watch tip to first time out. Then will binge something, Night Agent, Reacher, something I have watched before and wait till game is over to see how we do. same for the rest of the year.

I think we win more that we lose, hope we win all at home and at least 1/2 the road games (so far so good). Then win 3 or 4 at SEC tourney and win 6 in NCAA's. I will work my way up like last year to watch NCAA games live, all games like my brother and I have done in the past. Besides that not sure.

Hope we have Kerr back before February at least to start getting in game shape.

a&m is tough. Tough rebounders and D. Got to be committed to getting rebounds or they can eat you alive on the O glass. Taylor out but they got some other dudes who can heat up. In Rupp I expect the Cats to get their points and win, but never know. Good test of toughness.

The #11 team in the country coming to Rupp; to me this is a big game and I'm already excited. I wish it started earlier than 7:00.

I like Reacher. The guy in it is a tad more like the original book character than that 5'6" guy that plays him in the movies. Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher is one of the worst casting choices in Hollywood history. I guess Peter Dinklage was all booked up.

This is unbelievable to me. Can’t imagine not watching a UK basketball game live. This season has been so fun!

I think we win tonight, are top three in the SEC in March and finish with an Elite 8/FF kind of season.

Agree totally. Cannot wait for season 3 with the giant Reacher will face.

Tonight - Free Throws / make ‘em and win

 

[megablue]

Win tonight. 11-7 in conference. 11 losses on the season … 24-11 for the year

This. I'm sticking with the same prediction I've had all season, which is 10-11 losses.

I don't think we will win the SECT or NCAAT so that's two losses to go with the current three. Five more losses will be 10.

So, 10 sounds about right.

My 24-11 provides for 1 SECT and 1 NCAAT win …

That’s weird. What happened to all the “9-9 is the best we can do so you better learn to deal with it” people. Guess that prediction was shown to be fallacious. I’m staying with the same prediction I’ve had 11-7

 

[ukfan1622]

My brain tells me 10-11 losses is not unrealistic.
My heart says "nah, we can win them all".

I think both things are true. We can beat everyone on our schedule. We can also lose to anyone. More often than not this team will get it done

"A unpredictable man can be unpredictable" quote of the infamous Boyd Crowder... as for our Cats I like Butler and Oweh to lead the charge tonight Cats 85- A&M 77

Not unbelievable to me. I do the exact same thing.

I agree, in the category of : for whatever it's worth.

Buzz will have his guys ready and they are capable of As long as we are focused on what you say in your post about rebounding and playing D, I think we got this one. Oh yeah, make a bunch of 3's too.
