So I thought UK would be 7-11 in the SEC and I still think that is the case, but I am hoping to be wrong because even though at I had UK at 4-4 at this point I have had most games wrong:

I thought UK would have wins at this point over Florida/Georgia/Vandy/Arkansas prior to the season and have losses to Miss State/Texas A&M/Alabama/Tennessee to make them 4-4.

Crazy year. The only win I have had correct was Florida and the only loss correct Alabama.

The rest of the year I see the following so hopefully I produce the same pitiful accuracy. [Smile]

Loss at Ole Miss
Win vs. South Carolina
Loss at Texas
Win vs. Vanderbilt
Loss at Alabama
Loss at Oklahoma
Loss vs. Auburn
Win vs. LSU
Loss at Missouri

Everyone of them could be a win or a loss depending if their defense is found and if the 3 pointers fall. I think we need close to 15 3 pt'ers each game because every team we play seems to hit more of them than they average. It looks like teams are discovering how to defend UK's defense patterns and maybe they don't get as many attempts. They don't win without them.

Well crap I got that game correct. Not starting out good.

I'm resigned to the fact that Trey was correct and I was wrong. It will be hard for us to have a 20 win season. Right now there are a lot of SEC teams supposed to make the big show but several of them are going to fade off to the NIT. UK may be one of them unless they can start hitting 15-18 threes in these final games along with playing better defrense as well as making a better % of lay ups. Not much wrong with this team but a little over hype.

BC,

Other than defense, the main thing this team lacks is a shot maker and that was so evident in the first half.

When Ole Miss was applying intense ball pressure at every position UK did not have a single player that could beat their man off the dribble to create for themselves or for a teammate.

Put a Rob Dillingham type of player with these guys as a release valve and it would be a world of difference and you wouldn't have been down by 24 at half.

That is what I have seen that has been missing since the roster construction. A good defensive coach and good defensive players can take away "System" offense for stretches of the game and that is what teams are doing to UK and UK falls behind and since they can't apply on ball defensive pressure and turn teams over they cannot catch back up.

It is basketball 101. Talent matters. As John Wooden said, "I am a great coach because I have very talented players".

Well 2-0 now. Looks like I left out the UT game above. I had that as a loss to get to 7-11.

Hope that is wrong on Tuesday.

I will not be able to watch that game live either, I missed the USC game as well.

I think UK is 5-0 on games I have not been able to watch this year so let's hope they move to 6-0 on Tuesday.

Woot woot…..glad to be wrong on that one. Cannot wait to watch this game.

I know….Right? It is crazy.

Maybe can get Trump to issue an Executive Order barring Trey from watching any games live.

Well looks like the Cats finally dropped a game that I could not watch live.

Assumed if would be far fetched that they could win withlout Butler or Robinson but I was hoping when I opened the ESPN app when I got home from the dance competition that it would be a win

Looks like a lot of turnovers and poor 3pt shooting was the demise looking at the boxscore only.

Not a good Saturday for the Cats in the SEC. All the teams in front of them won, not including Bama/Auburn game, except the one team they needed to win Ole Miss which pulls Miss State into a tie with UK.

Just wish this team could get healthy at this time.
