Florida will be a favorite to win it all. Best front court by far.
100% best front court, but guard play remains very iffy. Look what that best front court did in the tourney last year. They'll likely be preseason 1, but I wouldn't expect them to win it all.

Personal top 10:

1) Duke - deepest team by far, can Scheyer coach it? Is their freshman 4 the real deal?
2) UConn - best backcourt in country (Demary & Mullins year 2 in that system)
3) Michigan - second best back court (Cadeau and McKenney, brand new FC)
4) Florida - can't buy into Fland and ?
5) Illinois - lose their best player and PG, not sure if this Costello kid can fill those shoes
6) Arizona - would move up if Peat came back
7) Michigan St
8) Virginia
9) Gonzaga
10) Texas

BBN can't possibly be as soft as some of the posters on this board man....
Sounds like something George Armstrong Custer might have told his panicked men right around the time they all realized they were completely surrounded by Sioux and Cheyenne warriors and preparing to be slaughtered.

Your false confidence is based on nothing but hopes and dreams. There is nothing objectively elite about this UK team. Nothing. Got to get Moreno back and add Mom to even be in the conversation.

Do that, and we've got a team that can finish top 3 in the SEC and earn a top 4 overall NCAA seed. Fail to do one of those two, and we're looking at 12-14 losses again next year.

You sound like one of the cowards who refused to jump from the plane with their platoon on D Day and sat crying in a puddle of their own pee while their Brothers fought for our Country

I just can't constantly dump on the team I care deeply about. Our own fans pile on our coach and team way worse than the opposition does.
Some of these people do it preemptively as a coping mechanism, and if the gloom and doom doesn’t happen, they move along. If it does happen, they brag about how right they were and bump their old posts

Others live vicariously through the basketball program and when it’s down, they’re down on and offline.

And others are just pessimistic people in all areas of life and generally are unpleasant to be around.

We have a mix of all 3 types here. I understand if we start next season 1-6 like Cal did in 2020-21, go for it. Talk about worst ever and 20 losses. But to do it at 0-0 without a finished roster and not one practice is some soft *** defeatist BS.

This. Florida toyed with UK last season. People on here are excited we didn't lose any by double digits. Pope kept it to 14 losses by double digits instead of 17. Woo hoo.
Florida toyed with almost everybody last year. It happens, not everything can always go your way. Acting like an entitled brat full time isn't helping anything.

The regular season game was close, we probably gave them their best test
The first regular season game, they out rebounded us by one and we had the same amount of offensive rebuild. The second game they outrebound this by 13 I think.. SEC tournament game honestly felt like we quit

10 loss Tubby is what we used to say Geez I'd like an over/Under for 20 losses this year with
Cmon Paul, we gotta have some fun. You know I got respect for you -- let me do my thing!

Promise I will eat crow if we do well.
If that's your idea, fun you must be having a blast cause you do it on almost every single post.. that's what annoys a lot of us is the unrelenting bashing. It doesn't change anything and it just makes people look like miserable riches. You are probably slightly more upbeat than most, but damn it has turned this site a cesspool

It's coming my friend, hope I'm wrong
No, you don't.
14 losses last year with arguably more talent? Don't think it;s unreasonable at all especially with his coaching ability or lack thereof
Arguably more talent without a national point card and we have at least two this year. I can't we Oweh but how many of you were blaming him for quite a few of our losses

He has never lost 20 games in a season. He only has had one losing season and that was his first season at bottom feeder Utah Valley ST who only started their program 11 years earlier.
