Have probably seen half of the top 25 play at this point. Maybe more.

Kentucky is still not a top 15 team if you assume UK and its opponent are playing at their best. The last ten minutes of the Greensboro game however were the best the Cats have played and the closest to legit top 10 I've seen. Gave me hope.

Agreed, but we will get there.

There won't be 10 better teams than us by the time March rolls around.

Need to stay high in rankings if SEC play isn't as highly rated. Seems top heavy conference. I'll take it, hate to leave it up to a committee for our 1 seed

Yeah, you will hear several times starting soon that rank doesn't matter until the end of the season but try coming back to the top from being ranked 20 to 25 if you are UK. (This is the first I remember UK rising in a poll this early in the season.)

IMO UK is between 6-15 right now as have you seen UT , KU ect play ? They are not much better if any then UK right now. UK has the ability to be the best along with Duke and Gonzaga IMO come March. I still think 28-6 is worst case heading into the dance it will be more like 30-4.

our defense is going to have to improve tremendously before we get into conference play to end up with that kind of record. Winning on the road won't be easy.

I was just doggin' 502 some .. I kinda believe what his point was -- there might not be ten teams better than us in March but last time I checked being 8th or worse isnt what we expect around here .

We're improving. I think #9 is still somewhat of a gift at this point. We stay undefeated and take down both UNCheat and Louisville, then I'll start giving more cred to the ranking. Long way to go........ the ranking doesn't mean much now...:rolleyes:

#8 in Coaches Poll! Need to stay there or move up to get a shot at a 1/2 seed in March and play in Louisville.

Until they learn that the offense will feed off of the defense they will stay the same.

Cal said it best! " Once they realize the speed and intensity that's required on the defense end it will translate to their offense intensity"

It’s shocking to think they lost to the same Mega Bemax team in the summer that we beat by 36. Seems like so long ago.

I really the coach at UM . Runs a lot of motion O and his teams go back door well. ( Can you say that in 2018 ?) Ok the " back cut " well.

The media doesnt mind showing UK a little love as long as they arent a threat to anyone they adore.
