Tough week coming without much to gain

[Wildcats1st]

@ 61 USC
@ 118 arkansas

We could lose both or either which would be a disaster. Winning these games on the other hand aren’t going to boost us much in the net rankings. Both teams are dangerous but the usc coach has an unhealthy obsession with UK so I expect that game to be very very difficult.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

They are games you have to win if we want to stay in the running for the SEC. At the same time, I'm not going to say losing on the road to either team is in any way a disaster.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Two must wins if we are serious about winning the SEC.

 

[HenryMuto]

South Carolina is a quad 1 game I would say a team with only 2 quad 1 wins so far has much to gain on that one

 

[Cats192]

Isn't South Carolina a quad 1 win? I would say that's something to gain.

 

[KA4Prez]

South Carolina moved from 71 to 61 in the NET with their win yesterday at Arkansas. It would be a QUAD 1 win.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

There are some fans here who wouldn't be satisfied even if we had a Quad 0 win.

 

[TriCountyCat]

South Carolina is legit at home and haven’t given up 80 all year. It could be a close game if they come out hot. Which they will.

 

[$Z71$]

Two in conference road wins and one that would be a Quad 1 gives us a ton to gain. We win them both and we will be ranked top 4 in polls and most likely rise in the metrics as well.

I wouldn’t say it’s a disaster, neither will be easy but we should beat SC and Arkansas is very beatable this year.

 

[UK67KU59]

We have 1 ‘quad 1’ game each week for the remainder of the season according to current NET rankings. Gotta be on our game every week for the rest of the season if we want a 1 seed!

College Gameday @Arkansas of all places

That’s the only reason I think it will be tough, of course we get a game like that to have the crowd go crazy. I still think Arkansas isn’t that good.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Both games will be tough. We won’t blow out either team.

Which means it will go down to the last 5 minutes and the defense will have to make stops.

Absolutely

Arkansas will be playing for their season most likely and SCAR is better than people are giving them credit for

 

[UK_fan_41102]

If Kentucky has plans on an extended stay in the NCAA Tournament, then they have to win these type of games.

 

[Easternkybb]

I think South Carolina is a huge game and a must win at ark. We win against South Carolina our seeding moves up.

 

[shyster51]

Arkansa sucks, period. We should have no problem with them. SC is not a very good team. I see a really good week for us.

Wasn't Kansas suppose to already passed us in all time wins by now. Please.

I would say it would be huge for our team with wins in these games. Win baby win and let the rankings take care of themselves!

Zero chance we have “no problem” at Arkansas no matter how bad they’ve looked.

I’ll gladly come back here and eat crow if I’m wrong.

You might as well go ahead and order some W Sauce to make it palatable!

The only reason the Arkansas game scares me is the road game and because it’s Gameday. Then playing for their season won’t help either.

 

[DraftCat]

I completely disagree... winning always puts you in position to "gain"

Otherwise your just losing and not making gains lol.

Just win baby!

College Gameday @Arkansas of all places

It's our duty to make sure Musselman doesn't go shirtless again.

 

[ralphdaltonfan]

You gain by winning, period. There's no such thing as having nothing to lose or games not mattering. Want to win/get seeded high? Win. Want to learn how to win? Win.

For this team-want to earn more minutes/trust from staff? Play well. Win.

This "not much to gain" outlook is something I don't ever consider an option in competitive sports.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Plenty to gain.

As point out, USC is a Quad 1 game. You never know what might happen to Arkansas the rest of the season as well.

But aside from that you can still move up in the NET playing poorly rated teams. You just need to win by more to make a dent.

 

[nickhorvathsuxazz]

Not to be picking nits, but isn't that, like, 3 reasons? And I agree w/ each...

That's what Duke fans said. too.

Kinda all three into one lol. Huge season defining Gameday road game.

 

[yoshukai]

I have not seen them this year, but i read their tallest starter was 6’7…….? How are they doing it ? Seems like we should kill them inside .

 

[WildcatNC]

Any road game in conference is dangerous and important if you want to win the conference and get a top 1-2 seed.

Winning those tough games with the whole place against you separates the men from the boys.

Dear GAWD, you are the most unfunny poster here. E.F. Hutton, really? That company hasn't existed by that name since the 80s. SMH

 

[fatguy87]

To get a 2 seed or higher we need to keep a clean SEC record. Winning is conducive to that end so there is plenty to gain this week.

 

[thedahc]

Dear GAWD, you are the most unfunny poster here. E.F. Hutton, really? That company hasn't existed by that name since the 80s. SMH

What are you even talking about?

He was talking about EF Hutton the person

Like you haven't existed as a Kentucky fan as 2022 Mort, I am very proud of this time though. Maybe you can keep this name going 1 more year before you get booted again. You and your (LGBTQIA2S+) comments, keep up the good work for your community.

 

[bluefaithful]

lol, you’re showing your age on this one .

Ha, guess my age and I will tell you honestly. In 40 years someone will bring up continental tires. I know i wouldn't buy one if i had a blowout on the moon.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

The gain has more to do with an atrocious defense gradually becoming better.

Not everything is about NET rankings and Quad One wins. UK, more than any team in the nation, needs real in-game experience.

We're starting to sound like an obsessive NET cult and we're forgetting that the thing that really matters is actually improving on the court.

Even if this team gets a 2 or 3 seed but vastly improves their defense, you take that any day of the week and twice on Sundays.
