UK falls to #20 in CBS poll

Yeah we won't drop to 20. There aren't 19 teams better than us. Had we shown up ready to play yesterday, we would have won. I'd say we'll drop to 10-12 range.
 
None of the AP voters put any actual thought into the rankings. We were 4, we lost, we fall 4-6 spots.

The only good team we beat is Duke--who lost to Utah. Maybe Duke isnt that good. Without being pre-season #1, no one would disagree with 20.

Uh, we have lost to TWO unranked teams in the last three weeks, and we just lost to a 5-5 team on a neutral court. There are FIFTY teams that are better than us. You folks are hoping beyond hope that Skal turns into Superman and saves the day. It isn't going to happen. Every team in the country knows how to beat Kentucky: Zone. Put two fat guys under the basket. ANY fat guys. It's that simple. We are easily looking at a 10-12 loss season.

Now we hear from the 'two loses in December don't matter in March seeding' crowd...

I bet there are more than 20 teams that are better than UK right now. We just lost to a team that is probably ranked probably somewhere around 50, on a neutral court.
Doesn't mean we won't be top 5 by March but right now there are at least 20 teams that are better.

Hurts doesn't it? Sometimes you have to be real.

UK is bad this season but not that bad. 8 to 10 losses and a six to eight seed is likely though.
 
We will be top 10 come mid January.
We have three home games until then. If we lose to Ratino, the confidence is gone. You think we beat LSU at their place? They put their bodies in the middle, and we struggle. Plus all those hotshot recruits will BADLY want a piece of Kentucky. At least two losses between now and then. I hate it.

The reality is we are good. We just have to put the pieces together properly. To even come back like we did says something. A bad team would have been blown out by 20 plus points. There are not 20 teams that are consistently better than UK.
 
Looks like ole Gary is still butthurt Cal left Memphis!

Why post this...stupid
I'm beginning to sense a pattern.
 
Yeah we won't drop to 20. There aren't 19 teams better than us............................ Had we shown up ready to play yesterday, we would have won. ............................................... I'd say we'll drop to 10-12 range.

I highlight the reason. The reason we are just a so-so team as of now. Too often, we just don't show up ready to play. This team is better or should be much better, but as of now, they're not.

It can be fixed quickly,,,,,,,but will it?

The reality is we are ........NOT..........good.............. And this is the reason..........and the answer.......... We just have to put the pieces together properly. To even come back like we did says something. A bad team would have been blown out by 20 plus points. There are not 20 teams that are consistently better than UK.[/QUOTE
I'm speaking of performance not potential or games played a month ago.
