Where will this UK team be seeded in March?

[Zissou87]

SEC is stacked this year. I’m assuming 2-3 OOC losses and probably 7-8 in league play. Good thing is by tournament time we should be battle tested and able to win a few.

That SOS from league play will help with seeding.

Anybody picking anything other than 1-3 just go ahead and tear up your BBN card right now.

Nah. I've been a fan for a long, long time. I can also be realistic.

 

[zoid1]

This team won't take long to gell the 30 combined years the 9 players have should hyper speed us thru the learning curve in new coach system. Should be clicking on all cylinders by sec play. 24-7 reg season whatever seed that gets us.

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Top 20 Team and a Top 5 seed ready for the madness and vacation days to watch it.

 

[UKAlum84]

I hope we end up better seeded than Cal's highly regarded recruits at arkansas.

Thats a test right there.

You know and everyone realistically knows we are not a 1-3 seed. Why post this crazy shvt? An honest vote was taken and I know not a single voter that chose 1-3 would place a nickel on that. This board is getting worse than our football board with stupid predictions. It is fun to hope and wish but let's not be stupid.
I've had a "BBN card" longer than you have been alive. I'm 79 and graduate of UK. I've had more thrills and heart breaks than most, but I try to be real about what we are. I've seen years we exceeded all expectations and suffered through the past 6 or 7 years with everyone with our failed coach. Be a true fan but keep it real.

Well spoken. You can go ahead and put me on ignore if you like.

I noticed this as well.

Ok I’m honestly very surprised to see one poster was in another thread just a moment ago talking about how UK is struggling right now. Then I go look at this poll and they had this team missing the tournament preseason. That tells you all you need to know right there. If you are a Cat fan and think we don’t have the horses to even make the tournament and then we end up a three seed, how could you not be over the moon?….unless you didn’t want us to do good?

 

[ukcatz12]

I think we'll be a 3 seed.

Time to retire pops.

 

[HoneyMoon155]

Ha I was right!

 

[HoneyMoon155]

Of course you did.

Dude you voted 10-12

 

[Fox2monk]

I also feel 3–5 is the right range.

In this poll I picked the 1–3 range thinking 3. It’s definitely an optimistic take but I want a story for the ages to happen for us this year and I’m ready to do my part by believing in us from the ground up.

Pitino’s 92 Unforgettables were Duke’s 2 seed. We certainly don’t have a Mashburn this year. But outside that we’re probably a more talented team and certainly deeper. Our players compare favorably in terms of efficiency and compare dramatically favorably in terms of depth.

We haven’t played together before but we have a lot of high-IQ guys and we’ll be able to use that depth to play the guy out of the two (or three!) at each position who has learned his role best so far each game. I agree with SI we are being underrated. Our ceiling is way high and I can’t believe that Mark Pope will do a less than exceptional job of bringing us along towards our ceiling, given how he’s handled everything so far. A 3 seed is optimistic admittedly, but not really so unreasonable.

Nailed it.

I didn't mean to post in this thread but the other one.

I goofed.

 

[noncomposmentis]

If only we had known how crazy historically difficult (not just “tough”) the league was going to be, and that 4 of the top 8 guys would miss significant time (with the guy, JR, everyone thought would be our best player lost for the season) there would have been a lot of NIT predictions, based on the dooming I see……

 

[KENTUCKY_FLYER]

3 seed, BOOK IT

 

[flacat22]

Anywhere from 7 to NIT

Fake news.
