There will be a lot of “I can’t believe they lost” a few teams in the Eilte 8 we didn’t expect. In the end I expect one of the teams who was great all year to win though. Probably UCONN yet again. Houston looked vulnerable today.Kinda getting that feeling
That is true at least but I just don’t trust Cal to actually win even if we play well against a great team. He will get tight when it matters and we will fall short because of it.I’m typically kind of pessimistic but I’m going to go out of my comfort zone and say if we can get out of the first weekend as a 4 seed, we beat our 1 seed. This team plays its best basketball against the best teams it seems.
I’m hoping for anyone except Duke, UNC, KU or UCONN. I’m fine if Purdue finally gets one or even Houston. When UK is knocked out I’m cheering for teams to get their first or second title, not getting closer to us.There will be a lot of “I can’t believe they lost” a few teams in the Eilte 8 we didn’t expect.

Me too honestly. Or someone like Iowa State would be great.I’m hoping for anyone except Duke, UNC, KU or UCONN. I’m fine if Purdue finally gets one or even Houston. When UK is knocked out I’m cheering for teams to get their first or second title, not getting closer to us.
Took the words out of my mouth.UK will put up 115 points in round one win by 25. The board will make tons of threads predicting a final 4 run.
Round 2. Some random team with a third of the talent will play bully ball and the Cats will back down and get punked.
Presser Cal will say they had a great year. Do you people realize I had two 2 TWO 2 TWO Lottery picks coming off the bench?
That's how talented we are. But it's hard. We are young. They are not robots.
Then he will say how he is looking forward to little house and petting his dog and the NBA Draft. You people are crazy. I'm going home till June.
Gotta match our recruiting philosophy1 and done. Don't see them getting past first weekend.

The 2012 team had the ability to block out CCC, they played like they wanted to and got the job done.We win the first one, then lights out. Cal will have these guys so uptight, they won’t be able to hit the broadside of a barn in a close game.
Its about match-ups and in-game adjustments.... not very hopeful about the adjustments part....At this point I have no idea how this team will respond in the tournament but I do know we're a much better team than last year.
It's all about matchups now and how we respond mentally.
I think at best two 1-3 seeds make it. Look at how many projected 1-3 seeds lost in coference tournament. Thats only 3 wins needed not 6. Time will tell but I see a ton of upsets. 2-3 of the top 3 seed lines lose in first round IMO and only 7-8 make it out of the first weekend.I expect the good teams are gonna make the final four. There will be upsets, but the 1-3 seeds will all make the final four
Conference tourneys are trickey because those teams know you better than anybody.I think at best two 1-3 seeds make it. Look at how many projected 1-3 seeds lost in coference tournament.

Which ones outside of the CHC are worried now?"I remember the days", when us UK fans never worried about the 1st two games in the NCAAT.. Upsets in those 2 rounds were very rare. I rarely worried until the S16 or EE.
Now, I have no expectations of a Calipari team in March.. the last 5 years.
I agree UCONN has handled business. They are the only team who did. They play teams outside the Big East and it might be different. The rest of the top seeds could lose on any given night to anyone. UCONN will fall in a Shootout type game to a high power offe sive team, but I believe it will be in S16 or E8. The rest could easily lose opening weekend. Obviously they all won't but several of them will.Conference tourneys are trickey because those teams know you better than anybody.
UConn to me is as close to a lock to make the final four as there is, they will be playing home games for 2 weeks, Houston had a wake call Saturday and I think that gets them over the top. After that I agree it could be pure chaos
You talked to more than 1000 UK fans?Which ones outside of the CHC are worried now?
And they aren’t worried about anything except our winning.
I’ve been in Nashville with 1000’s of UK fans. They aren’t scared.
People actually believe that this message board plus their small circle of friends that think like them represent the fan base as a whole. It doesn't, and yes a decent portion of the fan base believes recent results are unacceptable the majority of the fan base does believe we can make a good tournament run.Which ones outside of the CHC are worried now?

I know it the lame pick, but everytime I watch Purdue I’m not impressed. They force feed the ball to edey everytime and he does the same move everytime, and he fouls eveytime. UNC it seems rj davis is the only guy that consistently creates, and if he is having to take 26 shots like he did last night, than unc is in troubleI agree UCONN has handled business.

Of the top seeds Purdue, UNC, Baylor, Arizona just don't scare me at all. If I could pick teams I don't want it'd be UCONN(unless it's in final four for revenge) Iowa State and Marquette. I think they cause matchup problems for us. Houston and Illinois are the next level down for who I'd rather not see. The rest don't worry me much. That being said I don't think there is a team on the field other than UCONN that we'd lose to more than 6 of 10 times. The rest we'd win basically as often as we'd lose.I know it the lame pick, but everytime I watch Purdue I’m not impressed.

Because of one sec officiated game? Doesn't take much to sway your judgement I guessKinda getting that feeling
Houston would beat us 7 times out of time, same with UConn, those are the only 2 teams like that. Iowa st and Marquette would be bad matchups for sure but depending on the game Kentucky could beat themOf the top seeds Purdue, UNC, Baylor, Arizona just don't scare me at all.

If our offense is on we can beat anyone and sometimes that's what it takes in March. I do believe we make S16 or better with a chance to make final four. People will call me a pumper but this team has the pieces they just lack the consistent execution. People point out that Reed and Dilly are projected top 10 picks and how we have underperformed but let's be honest. This years NBA draft is the weakest in over a decade, no generational talent. I love Reed and Rob but in a normal year they are low teen to late first rounders. This team in a down year for college basketball is the most talented 1-9, we just lack defensive fundamentals and consistency so nothing will surprise me.
Hurley looks like a serial killer. Watch his mannerisms. He is starving for attention on some of the looks and things he does. Weird mofoI don’t think they win it this year.
For me Houston just doesn't scare me. They couldn't score enough to keep up IMO. Maybe we will get the chance to find out.Houston would beat us 7 times out of time, same with UConn, those are the only 2 teams like that.

My worry with Houston is it being like the SCAR game where Kentucky never gets into any rhythmFor me Houston just doesn't scare me. They couldn't score enough to keep up IMO. Maybe we will get the chance to find out.
I've noticed that. Strange for sure.Hurley looks like a serial killer. Watch his mannerisms. He is starving for attention on some of the looks and things he does. Weird mofo
