I'll go with 12-6 for UK. I think 13-5 will win a share of the conference championship. I don't think anyone is good enough to go 14-4 or better this season. Thoughts?
SEC Record Predictions
- Thread starter FtWorthCat
- Start date
I say they lose @UT, @Bama, @Oklahoma.
And probably 1 or 2 more.

It's crazy how good the conference is this year. I watched Vandy (probably 15th highest ranked SEC team) pretty well dominate TCU in Fort Worth, followed by Texas A&M thrashing Texas Tech, in a double header a couple of weeks ago. TCU and Texas Tech expect to make the NCAA, so it's not like those two are pushovers. South Carolina would probably be ranked 16th in the SEC, and they have wins over BC and Virginia Tech.

11-7
And i think that might be good for 3rd behind Auburn and UT and maybe in line for a 2/3 seed in the NCAAs

I posted this last week and will stick with it. SEC appears to be very very hard.
The SEC is brutal this year. Appears to be perhaps the best it's ever been. I think 7 total losses heading into the SEC Tourney. Agree with 24-7. Good for a 2 seed.
Will add this. I think we will win a couple that perhaps we shouldn't but also lose a couple that maybe on paper we shouldn't.

I think 7 conference losses is about right
1 SEC tournament loss
1 NCAA tournament loss
I think we finish up with 10 losses. which I think is a pretty damn good year ... all things considered !!
NOTE: This is the WORST that I think we'll do. Clearly, we may certainly end up with fewer losses on the year, hopefully so.
GO CATS !!
12-1 OOC
13-5 SEC
3-0 SECT
At worst 4-1 NCAAT
Gear up for a Pitino like run in the next 10 years

I'll go 13-5. That means regular season ends at about 25-6.
12-6 in conference. Probably a few tough road losses such as at Alabama or Tennessee. We’ll take our lumps in conference play but I feel good about this team heading into it. 24-7 record into the SEC Tournament. I feel like we will get a 2-3 seed in the NCAA Tournament and go at least to the Sweet 16.
12-6, possibly 11-7
1 to 0 losses in Rupp, 5-6 losses on road
1 game out of tie for 1st place.
Those current 5 ranked in the top 7 will all lose 5-7 SEC games.

It will come down to injuries, imo. UK needs to keep the injury bug at bay and work on team defense and rebounding to beat the better teams in the SEC. No predictions as I am not very accurate in making them, especially this year. Would love to see this squad advance in the SEC and NCAA tourneys further than in the recent past as the coaching is a significant upgrade…GBB!
14-4 seems realistic to me
I think @Alabama and @Tennessee seem to be the most obvious threats for a loss.
I think we win one of those. We don’t go to Florida and we ain’t losing to them at Rupp. @Mississippi State and @Mizz seem to be possible losses. I’ll say we lose one of those. There will be 2 losses other than the listed games IMO. Auburn is at Rupp, so a gift of sorts there. @Oklahoma and @Ole Miss will be tough ones.

6-7 conference losses. Just too much strength in the SEC to not lose some. Hold at home, try to steal a couple on the road.
I said already earlier in the season a 7-8 loss SEC team could end up with a 1 seed this year. The resume of Quad 1 wins will knock out those 4-6 loss teams IMO. We shall see
I don’t think anyone will go 14-4 either. Even 13-5 will be very difficult to do .
I'm not going to guess who but the regular season winner will be 15 - 3 or better. That could be one of 5 teams.
Kentucky, Auburn, Bama, Tennessee, and Florida. Don't sell Florida short.
I’m with you on this. I’m going 13-5, Auburn at home or on the road is gonna be tough. Winnable but 💯 will need everyone playing their best game to be in it at the end.
Was about to make a thread about this topic but saw this on the second page. With how good the SEC is this year, I legitimately could see UK finishing anywhere between 14-4 at the highest, and 3-15 at the lowest. Gun to my head, I will predict a 10-8 finish.
Of the 9 road games, I think there are 4 games where I would be very surprised if UK wins: Tennessee, Alabama, Ole Miss, Oklahoma. The rest are toss-ups with how hard road games in the SEC will be in general. I would be ecstatic with 5 road wins, but not surprised with fewer.
Of the 9 home games, I think 6 games will be toss-ups: Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, A&M, Florida, and Arkansas. All of those teams have good coaches and tough teams. Cal seemed to win at least one really hard road game and I have no doubt he has Feb 1 circled so I expect that to be an extremely tough game. The rest (USC, Vandy, LSU) should be wins...
Will be very interesting to see how this plays out. The team showed resilience in the Gonzaga/Duke games, but seemed flustered on their only true road game against Clemson. We had a stretch of really bad shooting before the Louisville game, curious to see how that develops over the rest of the season.
