We could honestly lose 5 more SEC games with how awful our defense is. 97 points to Texas a&m is abysmal.
This team has more losses coming

Man, bold prediction on that title there. Of course they have more losses coming. Did you think they would go 17-1 in conference?
You can add an additional 10-20% to every opposing team's shooting percentage against Kentucky. It's sad because this amazing offense is being ruined by a defense that belongs in the MAC.
40-0Man, bold prediction on that title there. Of course they have more losses coming. Did you think they would go 17-1 in conference?
True and getting tired of everyone worrying about our ranking. This team will be whatever Calipari makes them.
wow. Must be a savant to predict more losses.
Every team will man handle UK especially under the basket. Need to really work on physical interior defense and REBOUNDING. Missed shots will happen - need guys to grab the misses….they will get better. This team has tremendous upside and will be tournament tested by the end of February.
Every team has more losses coming. Conference play has been a bloodbath so far. Kansas should be 1-2 in conference.
Gotta like how this team fights though. Took punch after punch in the two conference road games and responded well in both. Had plenty of opportunities to win this one, just let a few plays slip away.
Need to improve the defense to get into that top tier of teams this year, but I like how this team has been composed in their first two road environments of the year.

Maybe a lot more. We simply can’t play defense. It’s like they are allergic to it.
When Reeves and Mitchell are your supposed upperclassmen leaders, the defense doesn't have much chance.
Only way to improve this defense is getting Theiro in the game.

This team has a good nucleus that could win a title with a year under their belt. Same Ole same Ole with Cal. At the end of the year we will lose the majority of them and bring in another group of one and dones. Rinse and repeat
5 more SEC losses? Nah.
We're more likely to finish 15-3 than 12-6.
Personally I think we end up 14-4.

It's hilarious that you decided to hop on the board today and chase posters around when you know how this place can get after a loss.Man, bold prediction on that title there. Of course they have more losses coming. Did you think they would go 17-1 in conference?
Instead of letting the board have it's weekly venting process after a tough loss, you represent one of the few who makes it your holy crusade to irrationally come here and try to correct other posters - just minutes after a tough loss.
You'll figure it all out someday, @Sejonesy . I still believe in you, buddy!
It's only tough to win on the road when your defense gives up 89 points in regulation to a dog crap 9-6 team.
I have always thought we would go 13-5 in conference play but with said this game today was very winnable:
I’ll tell ya what’s abysmal, your posts and takes.
With officiating like that? Absolutely. Thankfully though, two of our harder road games are now behind us.
I'm not TOO worried, but we gotta fix our defense. Rebounding might never get fixed, but defense should.
We also need to settle the lineups once and for all. Edwards to the bench, no less than 3 basketball players on the court at any given time (Shep, Reeves, Tre, and likely UGO). I also don't really want to see DJ and Dilly on the court together anymore. Just too raw in playmaking and decision making. Would prefer to never see two of DJ, Dilly, Bradshaw and Edwards on the court at the same time, for that matter.
I was glad to see Cal leave edwards in the bench for late game ( at least part of it.).. maybe he's coming around to him just not being ready.
If some of you guys weren’t so irrational, I wouldn’t need to. Can’t say I still believe in you and a few others though, pal!
Awful defense is a major concern. No title possible unless that really improves.
Texas A&M scored 55 and 53 in their prior two games. Unbelievable that their coach can just tell them to run with us to get a W and it worked.
As long as we make the tournament I'm not bothered by most away losses.
This group has legitimate potential with its pieces to play in the FInal Four. As long as we can keep improving by the week, losses on the road are tolerable as long as we compete for 40 mins

Maybe Cal will put a better zone in for us to run, how many straight line drives did we give up today. The defense can’t get much worse.
aTm got 25 offensive rebounds. that’s more disappointing to me than our lack of defense giving up twelve 3-pointers.
Thiero would have made a big difference in this game in my opinion. It is a frustrating loss but not all that unexpected considering the circumstances. Also nobody knows how good Texas a&m may be. They were hot and cold last year and got hot at the end.
None of what happened today changes my opinion of this team. The biggest concern I have is the rebounding situation and logging too many minutes for Mitchell. The defense sort of is what it is and good luck to teams trying to do this to us by the end of the year on a neutral court.
