Alot of back and forth on the board following the Vandy loss; which is understandable. Do we get our sh** together and at a minimum win the first game?
Expectations for the NCAAT
- Thread starter CatFanOverseas
- Start date
We lose in the first round, Cal eats out at a buffet a few minutes afterwards and on to next year, another debacle in the making.
Impossible to know what to expect with this bunch.
My feeling is it's 50/50 on winning game 1. 75/25 we lose game 2. 99/1 we lose game 3.
So round of 32.
So round of 32.
Let's see what the matchup is first and hope we are the underdog. We seem to play better that way.
I’m expecting something. Think 1983 NC State.
Admire the unwarranted optimism
Could win first game depending on opponent, but wouldn’t be surprised at all if we lose. Don’t give us much chance at all of winning second game.
This team just isn’t very good and has zero bench.

Maybe people need to calm down and wait to see what the bracket looks like first.
Cal will be dressed like a slob, UK will lose first or second game, and Cal will go pet his dogs and cash a check.
That's exactly what's going to happen.

As usual, depends on matchup/bracket. In all honesty, this team is so bipolar. Have no idea what to expect game to to game.
I would feel slightly more confident about advancing to the second weekend if Livingston and CJ were giving us productive minutes...but that has not been happening.
I think UK wins its first game. Then bows out in second round.
I voted yes because that’s what I want to happen lol
Passed though. Does that mean we lose?
Kentucky doesn’t win games within 5 points anymore and Kentucky doesn’t win tournament games anymore. March has just become another month in the bluegrass unfortunately. Our last team to win a NCAA tourney game was the PJ/ Herro team lol. Think about that for a second 
Let's say last night's game didn't wash the taste of a first round loss out of my mouth.
Cal is now like 1-3 in post season play since his contract extension.
The matchup is the key for sure. Many feel confident in a 7 seed after last night, which would make for some interesting potential matchups
Charles Ingalls ain’t walking thru that door.Final Four.
Nobody in our locker room knows how to win. The tournament will be over for UK as soon as we get punched in the mouth. Pretty sure everyone wants this to be over, the players, the coach, and the fans. I will be glad to hear our name called tomorrow but after that we are one and done with poor Cal running out of the gym like a coward *** loser. Probably skip the press conference.
Who do we play first round? That’s what it boils down to. A surging team like vandy we lose. A weak team like penn st backing into the tournament we have a shot
I vote No and then he leaves the program this off season!
He does that and the recruiting class goes to ****, they all leave
Team hasn't won 6 in a row all year. Guarantee there are some truly thinking they will though.
Barely eke out round one. Lose in second round. Cal cries at presser and rips the fans. MB is deeply moved and offers Cal a concurrent lifetime extension to go along with his lifetime extension.
The worse the seed, the harder it is to get out of the first weekend. Win 2 games and it's sweet 16, so it's possible.
Frankly I don’t give a damn anymore. Cal has sucked the fun out of UK basketball. Win or lose, and they lost a lot, the unforgettables were fun to watch. Now they are just unwatchable, no set plays, run the clock, throw up a prayer. Piss poor planning, piss poor execution.
Hell idk. I’m so disappointed with this season. I drank the kool aid and thought we were going to have an awesome year this season
I almost bought tickets for Louisville when they became available last May or June. Thankfully I didn't.
Followed by an off-season of pics/posts about Ellen and pics of cal in his pajamas in his recliner eating cheese balls
Underdog and far away from our fans. Seem to play better when back against the wall and little crowd support.
I don’t understand how real UK fans can be satisfied with where our program is right now. I don’t understand it at all.
It's going to be 6 months of hell until football season. And even then we're crossing our fingers hoping better than 7-6.
Depending on the matchup I think I’d feel good about our 2nd round game. But the pressure on the first round game is gonna be insane. The backlash if we lose in the first round again is going to be crazy and I know the players and Cal will feel that, after what happened last year.
Hell I got called a fing loser(mods deleted it) yesterday for criticizing Cal and I wasn’t being irrational at all.
I don't have much faith to get out of the 1st weekend.
But I doubt we will see a team run small ball against us, unless they have to. Vandy had no other option. That was Vandys 3rd time seeing us, we're still not fully healthy (but this might not change by next week)..
So I still think we should see a much better performance in the opening round and expect at least A win.
Not that this makes me feel any good, what so ever.
