The House of Blue

Our preseason ranking was based solely off of where people expect us to be at the end of the year. We honestly probably shouldn't be in the top 10 to start the season. Like you said, it's November. If we get by Baylor at home, we have one more (probable) loss at Louisville. That means we enter SEC play with 2 losses. I expect 4-5 losses in SEC play. Then hopefully we can make a run like Knight and Co.

I highly doubt they drop 2-3 games at home during conference play. The home streak will eventually end, but I don't see the losing that many at home.

This team will finish the regular season at 26-5, 25-6, or at worst 24-7.

I think 3 was too high to begin with. 8th is about right for now. In all honesty just judging on how they are playing right here and now I'd have em somewhere between 15 and 20.

Meh. They get the benefit of the doubt because people know they improve every time they hit the floor due to their youth. Probably aren't playing to their ranking right this minute but might tomorrow and definitely will if when we get Harrow back and up to speed in the offense.

I AGREE WITH WHAT HE SAYS, BUT DON'T KNOW WHY WE ARE YELLING!!!!

Not to shabby for a team that returns no starters huh. But Cal can't coach. lol.

Not sure why anybody thinks this team isn't a top ten team right now? We lost a game to a top five team by seven points and we played one of our worst games of the year and lost by 7. UK is going to be a top five team most of this year and we may not lose as many games as some may think. The Louisville game may not be a for sure loss and I really think UK will show up against Notre Dame and the last time we played there we did win. Our cats need a point guard whether its Harrow or Polson or even Archie even though I think we need him more at the two no matter what happens with Ryan. But our boys are getting better every practice and they are starting to show it on the court, once the season is in full stride our cats will excel and coach Cal will once again make another run at the FF. I also can't see UK losing 5 SEC games, Vandy down, UT may give us a game, but the teams I worry about is Mizz, and A@M both of them should give us a few problems and the only team that I'm super worried about is Florida. Florida is the only team in the SEC that I would even considered to be a threat. This team will probably lose three SEC games and we will only lose five games total and if that happens we will once again be a number one seed come March. This team is alot better than most are giving them credit for and when we play Notre Dame I think that game makes a statement for our cats and they will begin their run at another FF.

I'm happy we have Missouri at home this year, if we had them at their place, we may have another loss on our hands. I like what Pomeroy has and think this may be our record. I believe we may be ready by the time we reach Louisville, but it will be a good game none-the-less. Go blue, and go Cats.

I dont think too many feel that this team wont be a top team later on and thats what I believe that they in fact will be a very tough team to beat by mid Jan. or so that is if we solve the PG problem. Anyone see that Mays had 10 assists this past game, I wonder???????.

Cal would say 100 teams could beat us right now. Lol.

Heres some more FACTS: Pts per game-54th Rebounds per game-253rd Assists per game-60th FG% 14th. The field goal % is really good but the other per game %s are less than stellar. Now I know that Im statiscally challeged but those stats arent the stats of a top ten team. But I have overwhelming faith that by the time mid Jan. comes around that UK will be a top 5 team and will be fighting for a #1 seed but right now they arent a top 10 team.

Oklahoma St, Indiana, Louisville, Duke, Florida, Ohio St, Syracuse, Colorado, UNC, Michigan That's 10 and I could probably name a couple more.
