Real talk, I’m tired of beating around the bush

[Mike_Edwards]

Kentucky will make the tournament, those suggesting otherwise are trolls period. Those not thinking defense matters are equally idiots. Bring it…….,

 

[ukypug]

I agree UK makes the tourney. But, probably lose in first round if something doesn’t change.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

The February schedule suggests bubble.

 

[ukwazoo]

That's what she said

 

[JudgeSmells24]

2 losses in a row while we are ranked 10th and some of you all are talking about being on the bubble. Nuts bruh.

Whoa, slow down there. Don't go out on a limb or anything. Those deep insights required an entire thread? SMH

 

[JudgeSmells24]

And we havent had wagner

 

[Mike_Edwards]

PS….while I’m simply speaking the truth. Cal get your head out of your ass or leave. I’m tired of you holding Kentucky basketball hostage. You need UK far more than UK needs you.

 

[ukfan117]

We can't make layups, probably losing up to 5 more games, and if they make the tourney, they will be a 7 seed.

This team is weak

 

[Atrain7732]

We will make the tourney.

And lose first round unless this complete shite show has a miraculous turnaround. With Cal at the helm color me unconvinced that will occur.

So, woohoo I guess for making the tourney.

It’s not unreasonable to think this team could have 11 losses in the regular season and 12 losses after the SECT. That’s not a lock for the tournament. Definitely not a good seed regardless maybe an 11 seed play in game if that happens.

 

[ukdesi]

Feb schedule is rough. 5 more road games, 2 home games vs Bama and Gonzaga --I could easily see 7 more losses, which would put us at 13 losses, which is a bubble team.

 

[ChicagoCat1990]

They will make the tourney but lose in a game where you know it will be a loss in the first 5 minutes.

Omg, we'll make the tournament? Wow!

 

[TheBlueMist]

Who is arguing we wont make the NCAA tourney? That's a low bar. What do we do once we're in the tourney? Disappoint.

 

[Chief Paducah]

if making the tournament is the bar we have, UK isn’t UK anymore.

 

[bnewt]

And we havent had wagner

Big deal
Dilly had 35 tonight, hold konecht to less than 20 and still couldn't win at home

Are you going on a limb to proclaim this?

And this team should not be about “getting into tournaments “. We should be in position to win the damn thing…which I’d argue have little to no shot

 

[ArcticChar]

I wouldn't count on it. We're 15-6 and most ratings have us now at an 8 or 9 seed. Another 5 losses and you can pack it up.

 

[Skyguyb27]

Sorry but you can’t win in March without defense and hustle. Who cares about making it if you’re there to get embarrassed and half a$$ it. If you think making the tournament is some sort of validation then you obviously didn’t follow UK before Cal.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

So this is now Kentucky basketball?
Woo-hoo They are likely making the tournament. To just get beat in the 2nd round.
I remember when they were 1 seeds and threats to cut down the nets more often than not.

 

[bnewt]

if making the tournament is the bar we have, UK isn’t UK anymore.

Sounds like a mid major team hoping to make the tourney

HELL YES! I was worried we would end the season ranked 69. Nope! Top 68 BABY

Yes, hard to win when you score 91 and 92 points in back to back hike games and still lose. Our defense has progressively gotten worse, tike to try the zone. It can't be any worse.

 

[Mike-McD]

And we havent had wagner

2 week old account...check
Post supporting Wagner...check
Misuse of caps and punctuation...check

Troll detector...confirmed

 

[bbncal02]

Oh wow! We will make the tournament! It must be Christmas, Daddy! Can we have the leftover cake in the fridge too?

 

[G-PIP]

Unfortunately, it's kind of been the bar for a number of years now.

 

[ruppcat]

IF Uk does make the dance it will be below a 10 seed.

 

[Ugoff]

Is this what we're down to? We'll make the tournament?

 

[wildcatsincebirth]

The fact that as Kentucky fans we are even having a discussion about making the tournament says a lot doesn’t it

 

[Big Foot 275]

And we havent had wagner

We got a lot bigger problems than not having Wagner..

 

[NociHTTP]

At the rate you're going, make that two hands in the bush.

 

[jedwar]

Agree. Plain talk. 4/5 more regular season losses. Lose first round of SEC. 8/9. Lose to 8/9 seed.

 

[UKWILDCAT2004]

A 7 seed in Tacoma Washington is gonna be lit.

 

[Tampa_cat54]

Kentucky will make the tournament, those suggesting otherwise are trolls period.

I mean we have guaranteed remaining losses @ Tennessee, @ Auburn, home vs. Alabama, Gonzaga, and probably home vs. Ole Miss. Plus one in the SEC-Tournament.

That gives us 12 losses going into Selection Sunday (probably a 19-12 record).

And we have exactly 1 good win.

You're that confident that this resume gets us into the tournament? We are barely .500 in our own conference!

 

[Ron Swanson]

Until we get healthy again, I wouldn't doubt anything at this point. We desperately need Wagner, and we desperately need a change in our defense strategy.

 

[wildcat2243]

We would lose in the NIT at home with this coach.

 

[BC_Wader]

We will make the tourney. Can't believe some think we won't. But we're missing Wagner right now and something's up with Tre. He didn't looked engaged at all tonight. I don't know if it was the matchup or what.

 

[bucsrule8872]

At this point, making the tourney is pretty much all we can hope for.

We ain’t going on some magical run.

This team bows out early. You can bank on that.

You giving the fraud any option outside of leaving says all I need to know:
