July 29, 200719 yr Now that the season schedule is officially available, what will our record be? Remember that the 2KSports Challenge will only be the four games if we win both home games, which appears to be what will happen. List regular season record (and important wins if you'd like), then the SEC Tourney and NCAA Tourney, followed by the overall record. Honestly, after looking over the schedule, I think we can go 28-3 with losses at Indiana and at Tennessee and Memphis in the championship of the 2K7 Challenge.. Sweep the SEC Tourney 31-3. Enter the NCAA tourney as a one seed and lose in the Final Four and an overall record of 35-4. I know that sound way out there, but our tough Western SEC teams are at home (Arkansas and Alabama). LSU will be okay, but still won't beat Gillispie. I think at Georgia might be a tough one, but besides that, I think a record somewhere between 26-5 and 29-2 is very possible. Please don't bash eachother or me.
July 29, 200719 yr No way Kentucky is sniffing 35-4. Remeber besides Bradley and Crawford, this is still a very very young team. They are going to win some games they are not supposed to and loss to teams they should beat rather easily. With that said i can honsetly say (even as a Florida fan) this season should be a step up for the big blue from the last couple years under Tubby. I expect to see the cats something around 23-7 entering the tourney and make a run to the second weekend in the tourney.
July 29, 200719 yr Author 35-4 come on man. I mean, look at the schedule. They beat Louisville last year and Morris didn't hardly play, it was all Woo. Florida isn't Florida and Vanderbilt isn't Vanderbilt, that automatically saves us from four losses. I don't think it matters if the team is young or not. North Carolina and Ohio State were "young," although very talented and they didn't do so bad. Florida won a National Championship as sophomores and they didn't have a hyped-up recruiting class. I don't think they will go 35-4 overall, but I think it's possible. I do think that we will not lose double-digit games this year and be around 28 or 29 wins overall.
July 29, 200719 yr Well I think we have a real good chance at losing to UT 3 times so thats 3 of the 4 right there.
July 29, 200719 yr Probably a 10 loss season, but I still believe this team will be much better than people expect, and will make the Sweet Sixteen.
July 29, 200719 yr I think Kentucky has a great shot to be 10-2 or 9-3 going into the brutal part of the schedule starting with January 15th. Great shot making it to the Sweet 16, but Tubby did that and it wasn't good enough. Everyone will give Billie at least a year. But if he doesn't make the Final Four in his first two years, let's see how antsy everyone gets. I enjoyed following this board last year and how rabid everyone was, I REALLY can't wait to see how the reaction is this year.
July 29, 200719 yr I would love to see 35-4. But if your going to set you sights that high, Throw yourself out there and say undefeated.
