After two conference games UK is second worst in the conference in scoring defense.

 

[YardCat]

No where to go but up in defensive scoring.

 

[BlueBomb]

Something tells me Auburn is going to win the conference with only two or three losses. I feel like they're the real deal. Bama in 2nd a game or two back.

 

[Smashcat]

fwiw (corrected)

An 8th place finish would be absolutely unacceptable. If that were to happen we would finish the regular season at 20-11. Better win a game or two in the SECT or we would be looking at an 8-9 seed most likely.

Very accurate based on what we have seen thus far.

The second Vanderbilt must be South Carolina.

You’re failing to take into account that this year’s SEC is not like any other SEC season before. A .500 conference record doesn’t mean the same thing and won’t be seeded the same as in years past.

And, yeah, I think that is a reasonable prediction for us. Not because of anything we’re doing wrong, but simply because the conference is SO friggin stacked this season.

I know the SEC is great this year. But, there is no scenario where UK finishing in 8th place in the SEC should be acceptable to any UK fan.

Agreed.

 

[Mike-D]

12-6 should be the hope.

Points per game are a bad measure for evaluating defense. Why? Because pace of play is very much a factor also. Points per possession is much better.

I am quite confident we will finish better than 9-9.
We might not have won anyway (the way we shot the ball), but I think there had to be a ref trying to make sure UGA covered the spread on Tuesday. So the results of that game may negatively skew any analysis.

I notice Arkansas with what would be the UK team this year is projected 10th

 

[megablue]

For those looking at defense, we are currently ranked 97th in opposition FG% ... fwiw

Big Saturday coming up as most of the SEC top teams have road games: Auburn, Tennessee, Alabama, Florida, and Kentucky. Who survives?

Not even for a 1st year coach who had to put together an entire roster in a month playing in probably the strongest SEC top to bottom in history?

Auburn will. Sc isn't any good.

No. Not at Kentucky. And I’m a pope guy to the fullest

SEC is never going to be easy like it used to be. You better put your big boy pants on and accept that.

I’m not accepting 8th place in the SEC regardless of how tough the SEC is. You can put on candy striped pants and cheer for Indiana at that point

 

[Bluegrass79]

That point per game defense.....
Let's hope for better.

you can thank a 41 pt free throw differential and corrupt refs for that
