No. Kansas will win more games and cut into the lead. Hopefully they don’t overtake it.
I could see us gaining around 5 wins on them this season.
No they won't.
We're gonna gain 1 more game on those ******* when we play them this year.

Is that roster better than Kentucky's? I guess we will see. I like our chances.
Kansas roster is a 12-13 loss season IMO. They are at best a 5/6 seed caliber team. Fringe top 25-30.
I think the answer to your question is a clear NO.
We’ll see. Pope is going to have double digit losses. Will Kansas?
For someone purportedly to be a Kentucky fan, you suck ***.
No shot that happens
100% no. It's almost like they cleared the roster so they could feature stokes. This is who JR thinks starts, he has them ranked 34th. A freshman PG always feels like a kiss of death and I don't find Kinney all that good, having watched him. Their 2G is 6'1", 170? Who is that guy? That is a tiney backcourt. No idea who Mbiya and Dawes are. Unless Stokes is the next coming, that barely looks a tourney team. I don't even know what they are doing anymore in Lawrence. It makes me wonder if they made a deal to give Stokes clearance to be the guy.

Winning percentage is the stat that matters most since most programs started at different times...
Stokes alone will cost them so many games. He will cause an insane amount of turmoil in that locker room.
I love it.
I love it.
I know Kansas has a title like 5 or so years ago, but they really havent had much better success the last few years.
Theyre barely in the preseason top25. Self is relying on two freshman (which he's always been shakey with) and very little returning experience. Self im general seems like hes nearing his end, both on his accord and from the fans.
I cant see Kansas winning much more than Kentucky, if at all. And I suspect we add 2 or 3 wins on them.

Ive said that so many times on here. They arent gonna listen to logic man. Trust me.
Our conference play is a much stronger schedule than Kansas has in the Big 12. And our OOC schedule is even stronger. So I think it's gonna be a close win total. If I "had" to make a bet, it's more likely than not that they gain some ground because of their schedule. Place them in the SEC and we gain several wins. If this team plays "team" ball, we are a very serious threat for the NC.
I bet you're $50 you're wrong
They so far have managed to let us extend the lead by one since Pope took over and this looks to be our best roster and their worst in that time. I wouldn't expect any different opinion from such a constant whiner as yourself though.

"Losing out on Stokes" may turn out to be the best thing to happen to our Cats this recruiting cycle. It opened the door to some outstanding portal players.
Sadly, while I agree 100% that it should be the most important factor, it's weirdly not how sports works. It's always about who has the most title, most passing yards, most TDs, most wins.. Never about the percentages.
Thankfully, Kansas lost it's chance to catch us. It was the last few years. Now, it's Kansas who seems to be heading for a program rebuild soon and that's going to come with some hurdles unless they pull off a stud coaching hire. On top of that, they don't seem to be handling this NIL era very well at all.
I actually think Pope set up an OOC schedule to make up for last year. I think we're better than Kansas and have a more veteran team so I think UK will win that game. At Virginia is a tough game but I don't think they're a top 20 team so I think UK will win that one. UNCheat likely won't be as good as last year and we should have won that one and I think UK wins. We beat IU last year and will do it again. UL will be our toughest OOC game but I like Kentucky's chances.
