#14 is still within reach
-
@wissox They lose to us and one more. We can only lose one more time…but have to beat Tech. In this scenario we both have 5 losses.
-
@BeddieKU23 I am worried about a scenario where we need to win at OSU to tie for the conference…but, of course, let’s get to that point first…
-
@Hawk8086 we played one of our best games there last year.
-
@Hawk8086 I would take that right now. Win at OSU for a share.
-
@HighEliteMajor I would take that too.
-
TT @ BU
@ OSU
KU
@ WVU
I think they could lose at both BU/OSU. If not both, hopefully one. I hope KU shows up in Lubbock. Let’s see if Huggy can neutralize them in Motown.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I had forgotten that…feel better now.
-
@truehawk93 Motown? They’re playing in Detroit? Just kidding.
-
Meanwhile Nova and Clemson lose to unranked teams. I’m sure nova fans might be starting to worry just a little bit. I know the injury bug has started to take it’s toll on them
-
This has been a season for the ages. No clear favorite at this time and the regular season has still ways to go…Vegas must be going crazy.
-
Bonkers season, everyone needs some good luck filling out brackets this year!
Kentucky loss #9 as well to a good Auburn team and now have lost 4 straight. Kentucky is in danger of missing the tournament. Two more road games they could lose + a SEC tourney loss would likely put them around a 20-21-12 team on Selection Sunday
Nova lost to Providence who was blown out at home 4 days earlier by Depaul.
-
Kamau Stokes back playing for K-St. Didn’t realize he’s been back for 4 games now.
-
@Blown I agree. I find that amusing. Tech like TCU are less obnoxious. Even as much as I hate WVU getting away with constant fouling, would find that less egregious. Strange respect, I guess.
-
@BeddieKU23 Nova is getting ready for another loss this weekend when they play @ Xavier… #1 seed is fading fast!
-
Kentucky is now under .500 in SEC play. So things could always be worse.

I think they ultimately stay a #1 seed. I think they beat Xavier IMO. But that’s definitely a game they could drop…
Not a lot of deserving #1 seeds.

Can’t imagine the fan boards right now. They must have already sent death threats to Calipari by now.

Heh, I haven’t checked since after their loss to KU.
This year shows the weakness in Cal’s plan though. When there is a weaker recruiting class (overall talent perspective, not in terms of UK not having a huge class because they always do) he is going to suffer.
His 17 class was almost nothing but 5 stars…but it was a down class. 18 is too, tbh. Looks like UK is avoiding a big class this year and will actually not have too many FR next year.
-
Aren’t they the youngest team in D-1?
Certainly doesn’t help that they returned only 2 guys who even played last year. And both of them weren’t exactly expected to be stars. Usually 1-2 guys return that actually have some experience. Watched them recently, they don’t have enough defined position players. A lot of athletes without a ton of skill
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah they have lost 4 in a row now. I’ll never count Cal out though, he has had some high loss teams reach to ff.

This isn’t one of those squads. A lot of guys that are a year away still from what I saw of them just last week.
-
@BShark It looks like 'Tucky is headed into a buzzsaw with their remaining schedule. 4 out of 5 of their remaining games are against probable tourney teams.

My guess would be 3-2 but I’d love to see them flame out and go like 1-4. XD

Crazy year indeed. KSU goes on the road and beats OSU handily and is now in 4th place; hopefully it will give OSU an incentive to beat TTU in return.
The top 6 teams in the conference are exactly 1 game behind the team above.UK has a lot of raw talent but they are short in experience and appear to be deficient in basketball IQ as well. Would not surprise me if they don’t make it to the dance.
Another interesting tidbit. UConn, the team with whom some member indicated they would trade records, has become largely irrelevant, missing the tournament regularly and getting ready to fire the coach. In comparison, KU is a text book example of excellence and…no how, no way, no ma’am…I trade records with them, tournament titles notwithstanding.
-
@JayHawkFanToo OSU was favored in that game by 4, and Silo squashed them.
-
Tough few seasons for UConn. Some big injuries to some starters, recruiting misses especially in the post. Definitely not keeping up with the women’s team
-
I think KSU will end up 11-7 in league.
-
I know some posters really dislike Weber and I am not a fan of his particularly, but I have to admit that he does maximize the talent he has at hand. If he could only recruit, keep players, get a new personality…and a new voice he would be great.
-
Hard to keep up with the women’s basketball program at UConn, it is arguably the best and most consistent program in all college sports. The men’s program, on the other hand, is like a yo-yo, briefly way up and then way down for long periods of time.
-
OSU is like a bi-polar program, either plays great or plays poorly; KU caught them on the wrong cycle.
-
We all know what happened.
KU wins, Tech loses. Tied with 4 to go.
Tonight KU can put its leg in front with a home win vs OU. Collins having his jersey retired should make for another electric night in the fieldhouse.
Wednesday Tech goes to OSU. OSU coming off a loss as well. Evans has a toe injury and Tech is awaiting x-ray results. They will announce the injury results today at 2pm, when Beard is available to speak. Potentially crushing news.
Gameday in Tech on Saturday. B2B for KU…
