I had Tenn winning the SEC before last night.

Never thought too highly of UK.

Ya I was very surprised that got talked about during the games. I kind of thought they'd take it easy on us and kind of let that die off as much as possible...playing Bills statement where he's reading from a piece of paper made me cringe.

Those of you dissing UK.
After one game do you feel this Kentucky team will finish the season more like the 12-13 Kentucky team or the Kentucky 13-14 team?

I don't care to look up those teams. I think this Kentucky team is going to lose 6-8 games before the tournament, and then people will throw a goddamn fit when they're a #2 or #3 (or Lord help us, a #4) in someone's bracket.

I agree. They'll lose a handful or so of games and struggle. They'll be a 2 seed. They'll be really good come tournament time and they'll advance far.

If Kentucky played in the ACC, they’d lose 10+ games this year.

Well, the same can probably be said about most of the top 10.

Something will have gone quite haywire if we see them before the Final Four. This is a two-team season.

and as is usually the case with Self teams, the game KU played last night was nowhere near its ceiling

come January, we’ll likely see a different (and better) KU team

Nah. In late January, we'll drop two in a row, and Doyel will kick his dog as he bitches about how this is Self's worst coaching job evAr.

By February, though, we'll be winning everything by 20+.

Until we go to Stillwater.

* EDIT! Damn! DC beat me to it!
I agree but in the last 7 seasons we had a period in January and/or February (maybe early March too) where we lost....
2 out of 3 and 3 out of 6
2 out of 4
2 out of 3 and 3 out of 5
2 out of 3 and 3 out of 6
2 out of 3
3 in a row
and 2 out of 3
Hard to deny some/many people didn't get just a tad bit panicky.

That's why they call them "the dog days." Happens to almost everybody at some point in the season.

Could be, I’m going to have to see if UK is that bad or Duke is that good. Barrett and Zion are amazing players. I think the only chance a team may have is slow it way down and play some zone and mix in some junk defense. Hope they are not hitting. They got the top 2 picks and very possibly 3rd one in the upcoming draft.

As much as I hate Duke, they were impressive.
