Season's not over, but the seed happens from time to time to every blue blood. Since 2016 we've had seeds of 4, 2, 5, 2, likely a 2 or 3, the 9-16 year, 2, and 6. Seems fine to me.
Do we take Cal for granted?

You are free to give Cal all the praise that you can possibly provide. As for me, he has overstayed his welcome.
“9-16 happens, 1st round losses happen, 6 seeds happen”
Eventually you have to stop shrugging your shoulders and saying “it happens.”
You just listed the longest streak in the history of the program without a 1 seed. Sure, seems fine to me!
He should be paid in ebb and flow. If he was, I bet winning every game would become extremely important. There would be no more talk about March is what matters.
I respect your opinion. Again I’m not praising him. I want him here next year to see one last run with the recruiting class and if we can’t get it done Im ready to move on.
Ebb and flow for Ky is sweet 16’s, not the nightmare seasons Cal has logged of late
I think for the past 3 seasons fans have wanted Cal to get one more season. If things don't pan out next season, it will be one more season. Enough is enough!!
I do think if we don’t get it done this year or next the fanbase will be a lot more unified in wanting him gone. There will still be people who want him to stay but I think it’ll be a large majority ready to move on.
Honestly to me even looking at post 15, the good seasons haven't been the issue. While we haven't reached a final four, we had those type of teams in 17, 19 and last season. You keep putting together teams like that and you will reach final fours and maybe grab another title.
The issue IMO is all the other seasons tho. It's the lack of consistency. The best way to win a title is to be consistently good.
Even pre 15, we weren't really "consistent". We had great runs as a 4 seed and 8 seed which saved those seasons.
UK fans want consistency IMO. They want multiple years in a row of being 1s and 2s. Because that's how you win titles
Would it shock me if we had a very good season next year? No. But there has to be some consistency with it all.

We'll go ahead of Self today. He is alot of people's on here favorite, or was till yesterday.
Exactly what you said. Calipari DOMINATED in his first 6 seasons, has been pretty mediocre at best in the last 6-7 years. What are the numbers for the last 6-7 years?
It’s not like you can avoid down times. It is a lot easier for me though since I’m not overly invested.
you're just being obtuse about this
Cal has had historic lows for our program - in multiple stats, breaking records that held for decades
That isn't a ebb and flow, and you know it

8 years without a final four. Dude is robbing UK.
