Only time in history we’ve lost 3 in a row at Rupp.

That didn’t take long

I’ll stay positive. That’s a stat I like to see!

Since the history is about SEC road wins.
In all four seasons mentioned KY won the SEC regular season championship.
They played at NC level all season with less losses than the current team.

Does anyone know the most losses in a season a UK title team has had,that to me is a relevant stat

6.

It's not really relevant at all though and neither is the OPs stat.

This is what makes this team the most frustrating I ever recall. We can look like world beaters, and we can look barely average. We achieve the stat above but lose the most games in the program's history at Rupp. Maddening.

Still, it appears that maybe we've turned a corner. I'm trying to stay positive. TRYING!

A maddening regular season. Some BIG wins as well as some infuriating losses. I have no clue how we will do in post season play. We are playing a lot of freshmen alot of minutes, I hope that doesn't bite us in the tourney but will not be shocked if it does

It's rough talking about how much we suck these days, huh?

I always enjoy random stats like these.

This is one team where I somehow trusted them more on the road or at a neutral site.

You know what all of the Rupp losses have in common? They happened more than a month ago.

You know what the key road wins cited in that stat have in common? They happened over the past month, during a 7-1 (should have been 8-0) run that included wins over three teams in the NET Top Ten.

So, the two things aren't really the same.

Given that the team was evolving with young talent and dealing with several injuries and a stupid NCAA hold on Z, is it a surprise that the Cats improved as the year went along?

It’s a Jekyll and Hyde team.
We’re definitely playing more consistently good basketball.
If we make it past the first 2 rounds we may be able to make a run.
The first 2 rounds scare me.

And Cal’s lack of coaching ability scares me.

I love the roster and wouldn’t trade it for any other in the country.

Agreed. But it doesn't change my frustration level when thinking about "what could've been." Too much talent to have eight losses. But you're right about the timing.

I recall that team with the Harrison twins as freshmen. We were loaded with frosh and had a bad year. We got an eight seed and came within a hair of winning it all. So, maybe...
