This week's games including Big10 Tourney and now Saturday games most ranked teams lost today. Most of the teams that were having senior day and last home game of the year were winning on home-court today. It just wasn't Kentucky losing at Florida today it was most of the teams were losing on the teams home-court, senior day, and last regular season home game of the year. We now have to focus on the SEC Tournament and get back to playing outstanding ball with great offense and better 'D'. I know Cal loves getting the Double-Bye so you don't have to play until Friday and you have more time to prepare. We just need to get back to playing like we were at Arkansas and at home vs. Missouri. Coach Cal needs to get the lineup of SGA, Green, Knox, PJ, and Vanderbilt with Gabriel, Richards, and Diallo off the bench when needed with foul trouble or short rests. I still believe we need this starting 5 on the court 30+ minutes. The Ole Miss game with Vanderbilt playing nearly 30 minutes, Green playing 34 minutes, and PJ over 30 minutes. SGA and Knox had there 35+ minutes.

Lol, let’s ignore the fact that a UF can hang with UK like nobody else...

UF has to likely get by Arkansas and UT to get to the title game to get another crack at us (if we can make it that far).

Not an easy path especially playing that dreaded late night game and likely playing a pressing/chaotic team in Arkansas in that game.

Then turn around and likely play the best team in the SEC less than 24 hours later.

I might be wrong, but our path to the title looks much easier than yours.

Then why are you here seeking our approval??? Go back to your board with the other 2 & pump up your 2 wins, & since you beat us twice then why couldn’t you win the regular season SEC??? The answer is.......we are your super bowl.

I care about either winning the SECT or SEC every year. It is very hard to do either but UK seems to always do one with Cal at least. Also isn't the UF fan so cute ? When they lose on friday because they are cold from 3 and lose in the 2nd round of the tourney for the same reason he crawl back under his rock with the 5 other fans. LOL.

Brings those guys off the bench because he knows he will get production from them every game so he won’t have to worry about bench scoring. He starts them and the other guys come off he bench there is a chance that he gets barely any production off the bench when starters are tired or in foul trouble. Gives other teams a chance to catch up or pull away when they face the second unit

Easier based on being a fan or based on actual games played vs the teams in each teams path?

The SECT IS A JOKE .. IT MEANS NOTHING. WHEN ARE THE KAT FANS GONNA FIGURE IT OUT. YOU ARE THE ONLY FAN BASE THAT GIVES A RATS ***.
This hasn't to be the stupidest thing ever uttered by a basketball fan. There is only 1 kind of team that doesn't care about the conference tourney regardless of conference- teams like UK in 12 or UK in 96 or even UF in 07 - ie teams that are so good they have nothing to prove to themselves or the committee. There are no teams like that this season . What is even funnier is UF has more to prove then UK even as right now UK is a 5 seed or so and UF is a 6 or 7 . UF is like 39 in RPI . UK is 15. But both need the SECT . Go scurry back under the bridge troll. Coming here after a win with this garbage shows your colors. It is petty and childish. Same thing goes for Uk fans if they went to the UF board most of the time we play since we win more then we lose against yall. Act like you been there before .

I’m on this board all the time . First time I’ve seen you. You are Kentucky . How did you let this happend. How can you be the 4 th best program in the SEC.
How has Florida football let: Alabama, LSU, Georgia, pass it by. Along with in state rival Florida State routinely spanking you the last five games??

Well let's hope we don't go bye in the NCAA Tournament! At least not too early...

If it's all the same to you I'd like to see what we do this year first. As 2014 illustrated anything can happen in the Big Dance.

Really wanted to get the 4. I'm not a guy that complains about the refs but they hurt us today.

That said, I like where we are with the 6. If we get past the first game, I think we will handle Florida then UTjr.

Hoping we get a UK vs Hogs final again.

I think you guys have the depth to win four in a row. You are probably the only team that has to win four that can.

Winning in St Louis won't be like being at home at ARK, I don't see them making it after watching them today.
