    Acceptable/Unacceptable Seasons Under Calipari (Interaction Requested)

    I'm surprised 2020-21 isn't down in the 60s or 70s, only one point lower than 1989-90. Cal's 11th season building his program (9-16) v. Pitino's first year rebuilding (14-14). Why are those not drastically different?

    Prediction

    Interesting to revisit this thread and some of the responses. There are several unrealistic takes preseason, primarily without having any clue as to how hard the SEC was going to be this year, as well as the unknown injury bug that would plague us all year.

    With this team I'm afraid of...

    For the record, I mistakenly had KenPom for 2023-24 as 31st. That is BYU's preseasons KenPom ranking for 2024-25. I updated it with BYU's KenPom defense for 2023-24. They were 60th in DRtg., a pretty substantial difference than 31st. However, UK 2024-25 should still be a significant upgrade over...

    BYU's Defense in 2023-24: KenPom: 60th SRCBB: 78th Top Defenders' Defensive Ratings (per 100 possessions): Fousseyni Traore - 97.5 Spencer Johnson - 100.5 Richie Saunders - 100.7 Noah Waterman - 101.2 They had four or five pretty decent defensive players last year. UK Defense for 2024-25...

    Pope on KSR

    You're right. When I clicked on the title game to see who the starters were, I didn't notice I was looking at Purdue's starters and not UCONN's. Surprisingly, you're the only person who caught that, or mentioned it anyway.

    Bart Torvik's projected stats for UK's 24-25 team

    Good points. I used "bad season" on the heels of Gary Parrish's summary. I would say that any team under .500 is a bad season. Memphis- that was a par year UCF- I would agree that they had a decent year considering the circumstances you mentioned St. Johns- a step in the right direction under...

    Bart Torvik's projected stats for UK's 24-25 team

    Did they list all of the schools who took seven or more players? I'm interested to see the type of players those schools had v. the players we have acquired.
