LRCW Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Tennessee was ranked #24 in one poll this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCPATS Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 They haven't won against a ranked team this season, but I think UF and Arkansas can get ranked. Tennessee is a media darling for some reason so they might be ranked. And a win over Arkansas really helps our RPI as they have had two big time wins over top 10 teams (Texas and OU). Also, if they win out they will have won 16 straight going into the SEC tourney. It's not out of the question to get a 2 or 3 seed. That would be a very nice run they'll be on. Arkansas RPI-55 :idunno: Florida may have a better chance of being ranked this week, instead of UK. UF is 16-2, RPI 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sportsfan41 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 UK 14-4 3-0 in SEC play. Any time you get a Road win in the SEC its a solid win. Hopefully UK can get in the top 25. Any team over .700 which beat a top 25 team, and won on the road this week should be in the top 25. If you can find another team that's done the same I'll consider them. At this point I see UK being around 19-21. They may not get that ranking but that's how I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrambler Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 As practically everyone has said, this was solid win for the Cats and a road win in conference is always a big win. U.K. played solid defense today and dominated a pretty bad UGA team. Auburn IS up next...... in Rupp. GO BIG BLUE!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint4 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Nice win. They should be ranked in the top 25 for sure now. I have been saying all along thbat if UK worked out their turnover problems and found a PG that could take care of the ball, they would be deadly. Liggins and Porter have both been taking care of the ball better, as has the rest of the team, and they are not the legit best team in the SEC imo.

sportsfan41 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Good game by Meeks and Patterson. Great game for Stevenson and a nice solid performance from Porter. I'm also pleased that Miller seems to have finally turned the corner. - Cats are a lock for the top 25 - 3-0 with 2 road wins in the SEC (all 3 by double digits) - that's solid The Cats are a much improved and still improving team. I agree but we still neec another offensive contributor to be a consistent third threat. Stevenson has stepped up, but if we get a real #3 threat(Stevenson could be it), this team could make a real run IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember back to Mercer's freshman season where he struggled early on, but come tournament time he became a pretty good scoring option for the Cats. Hopefully Miller can do the same thing.

sportsfan41 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I would love to see it but the highest UK could get IMO is a #3 seed and that's with winning the SEC Tourny. Winner of the SEC get's atleast a #4 seed unless it's a team with a mediocre record that makes a run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtiger69 Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 It's hard to go from getting no votes, to being ranked. A few teams ranked in the lower part of the top 25 lost, so there is room for a jump. I think the exposure from the UL & UT game will help them get into the top 25.

I would certainly be ok with that, but I'm still not sure whether or not he'll be the one to step up. Perhaps no one will step up.... If that's the case, we don't make it past the Sweet 16.

JPP Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 Solid win for the cats. Congratulations to Coach Gillispie and the rest of the boys. I think there is a very good chance UK runs the table in the SEC and wins the SEC tournament. They won't get a #1 seed however, as they haven't been ranked at all this season and it will take A LOT for them to climb into the top 4 teams in the country. I think they do get a solid #2 seed which is amazing considering how the season started. Be careful! Your going to inspire Wireman to new levels!:eek: Just kidding! I love enthusiastic fans.

racer4life Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I think the Cats should be in the top 25, but I don't think they were even in the top 40 last week that would be a huge jump, but I hope you all are right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADopted ADmiral Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 I honestly thought Georiga would play Kentucky much tougher than this. This is one of the worst Coach Felton coached teams I have ever seen. His days are numbered at Georgia IMO. I wish He would have stayed at WKU...He wouldn't be making as much money but I bet He would have much more Success... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
