"UK No Longer Sleeper Team"

[Random UK Fan]

Dangerous Kentucky is no Longer a Sleeper Team

Vicky Graff PhotoWhen John Calipari said his Kentucky team was “built for March” it didn’t carry a lot of weight. Since then the Cats have beaten Auburn and Alabama, two top 15 teams, and looked great in

5-5 in last ten games. 4 of those were at home. People are being fooled again.

Agreed. I consider this team fool's gold until they show consistency. But man, it feels like they're close. Fingers crossed.

This time?? Calipari is not supposed to be our coach according to UKortho🤣

My opinion is still the same, this UK team can beat anyone in the country but they’re also capable of a head scratching game. We basically saw that last week with the win at Auburn and then a loss at LSU.

It will be nice to get on a neutral court, away from SEC refs in a few weeks. The opportunity is there to finish the season strong, but the staff and players need to bring their A game every night.

oh he’s that type of guy

This is the kind of year we'll have to survive whatever Princeton/Wofford type team we get early to beat a Duke in the next round. It will be white knuckle time.

Cal could sell snow to the State of Alaska.

Wide awake except on inbounds plays and the end of games...

I can see why the CBS guys would make those positive comments. We blew the doors off Alabama with our offensive explosion. Can we do it against MSU? I like us as an underdog tonight.

Not confident, less than 1 week removed from losing on the road to a bad LSU team will do that to you.

But sandwiched around that LSU loss is an Auburn man handling and an Alabama Massacre. 2 of the more impressive wins any team has this year. Today will tell the tale if we keep it going or regress

One thing we have learned with UK team in SEC play, they are consistently inconsistent.

 

[FurdTerguson]

This is a longshot, but this COULD be our last loss of the season

Good thing is, the NCAA tournament has no road games..

Good thing is, the NCAA tournament has no road games..

And thankfully for this UK team no home games.

It's all about the way the other team plays. Teams like Auburn, Alabama, UNC, Kansas are all run and gun teams and that plays into this Kentucky team's strengths. It's the teams who are going to make it an ugly, physical half court rock fights who are going to cause us problems. Just be prepared for the Calipari 3 step. 1 step forward and 2 steps back. This has been the pattern for several years now. If Cal feels us natives (bennies) are restless and his back is against the wall, he will actually focus prep, and win. Then sometime in the next two games he starts feeling comfortable again and it's back to lazy preparation, no focus, and another inexplicable loss to a team we shouldn't lose to. We are not that many more losses from not making the tournament cut. As a cat fan I'm going to pretend I'm from the Missouri. Show Me!

I ain't him, but I'm leaning toward his way of thinking. And I will be happy as a pig in $#!! if I'm wrong.

I hope not I really do, I believe we can do it but we need to get consistent. 2 of those were just dumb losses.

well i am going with the positive part and we are winning tonight.

Sure wish he was correct!

A win tonight would go a long way towards raising expectations for a deep tournament run. Looked at MSU's roster, and they're the exact type team UK's not fared well against: age (5 grad students, 4 seniors, 3 juniors--including 2 redshirts) and beef (ranging from 6'7 to 6'11--230, 230, 235, 245, 245, 280).

Win tonight and I won't be wary of every mid-major in the country w/ a seasoned roster come tournament time.

 

[MachineHead1]

It’s Cal. I’ll believe it when they hoist a trophy

Those games were blacked out in the CHC video game room.
