We'll still be 26-5

And in the mix for that 1 seed in Louisville. I think we lose at LSU, at Kansas, at aTm, and at Vandy.

There are other games on the road in the SEC that we could certainly lose and we may drop 1 or 2. But of the games I listed all are winnable since they are so far off.

Vandy will be very tough at Rupp too. If we don't figure out how guard the pick and pop, Luke Kornet will kill us with that if Vandy decides to run it. Except he'll step back and make threes instead of 15-17 footers. We'll certainly get better at defending though.

Hopefully dont drop any more till comf play

Before the season I thought we would lose to Duke , at KU , at Texas A&M and at Vandy and the be overall # 1 seed and I am sticking to that ( with the UCLA loss taking the place of the duke loss obviously. To beat UK you have to have a good amount of NBA caliber like UCLA did and you have to get them on the road . All the losses I predicted fit the bill. But who cares ? We will be a humming engine by March and steamroll thru the SEC Tourney and hopefully the NCAA .

I think five losses going into the NCAAT is realistic, but wouldn't be surprised if they dropped one on the road in conference play that they shouldn't. This is just a very young team that will improve with each game. They'll be fine.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Five losses is realistic.

Based on how LSU is playing, we may not lose down there now.

I would say at least four losses.

I just hope we get to play in the Louisville regional.

 

[AnarchoNeoLuddite]

Idk but other unexpected? Loses could happen, games like ole Miss at home year would not surprise me

 

[warrior-cat]

25-6 is probably a fair estimate, give or take a game or 2.

 

[jackcarlson]

I think our guys will learn a lot from this. Personally, I think we lose only one more game, and it will be a close one. And, that's it.

 

[Mike-D]

I'm thinking we lose 6-8 games all year

 

[bigc45157]

I'd taken26-5 after losing all of that talent.

We have plenty of talent, they just need to mesh together.

 

[KWilt43atbuzz]

UCLA played the best game they will play all yr. At home and UK played its worst gm and we only lost by 10 with 3 players banged up.
Let that sink in.

 

[marshalfan]

We lose 8 games this season, but will get on a roll late in the season. This team can't overcome an injury to any of the bigs.

 

[VAWildcat15]

We've already won a game I thought we could lose and lost a game I thought we could win. Honestly anybody freaking out at this point needs a serious dose of perspective.

 

[Aike]

I think we will win at least one, if not two of those road games that you expect us to lose. Then I think we will also lay an egg somewhere and drop one unexpectedly.

Taking care of home court, including against UL is critical. We also can't afford a hiccup vs. OSU. Messing around and losing games like that can drop you into 4-5 seed territory.

We can afford to drop 2-3 road games without it ruining our life. I've thought all year that managing to win at Kansas would be a bonus, but it also could be the difference between a one and two seed as it all plays out.
