The Cats win all their games by 10+ points.
My SECT Prediction
- Thread starter Huma1894
- Start date
I'll be there, so I'm hoping you are correct 
I do believe Kentucky is the best team in the SEC and they should prove me right in the SECT
Hhmmm …good info …was looking at the schedule today and I see us most likely getting the 2 seed for the tournament
I'll be interested to see how Arkansas plays in the SECT. They put a lot on Notea's shoulders, so playing on consecutive days could be a problem. I'd like UK to get them in the semi's.
Just FYI, since it is eastern time zone this year, the Thursday and Friday games start at 12, not 1 and evening session is at 6, not 7. So at the latest, we should be starting at 9 this year if we are the 3 seed. Still not ideal, but at least not 10/10:30.
I believe Cal cares about winning the tournament this year over most. He wants to stick it to a few coaches in a neutral court. I hope I’m right and we get thru it healthy.
Parlay that with Georgia losing the first game of the night and you’ll make a ton of cash.
He certainly appears to be more motivated to win every game this year. Seems to have an edge to him that I've never seen in him in his time at UK.
It was brought front and center when he went forehead to forehead with Pat Adams.
Scratch that, I don't believe we do anymore now that TN beat Auburn.
No matter who wins between Ark and TN, we would lose the tie-breaker and be the 3 seed.
Lose to Florida and we're the 4 seed.
I remember one of the games in Nashville one year not starting until, that late. Wanna talk about BS. The winner of that game naturally didn’t win the next. Pitiful making teams start that late. No excuse for it either.
If we win out and win SEC tourney this is our resume, approximately. Assuming we are the three seed and we beat LSU, Arkansas, and Auburn on the way to the title … which would be a tough three games. That’s like a S16, E8, FF stretch to win the SEC tourney.
28-6 Overall record
12-6 Q1 record
Best true road win in the country at Kansas
Top 20 strength of schedule, with the way we are trending
Probably top 4 in predictive metrics, based on where we are now.
Probably top 4 in results-based metrics, although we have some work to do there
Probably top 4 in NET
Split with Auburn
Split with Tennessee
Split with Arkansas
Sweep against Alabama
Winning record against LSU

And as is the case every year, the SECT is my birthday weekend. No work for me!
I think part of that is he’s tired of getting hosed by these stripes. He knows he has a really good team and he’s not going down without telling them what incompetent boobs they are.
March 11?And as is the case every year, the SECT is my birthday weekend. No work for me!
I’m still amazed with contact to a referee that Cal didn’t get a big T for that!
I think he and Pat have a mutual respect for each other and Cal gets some level of respect from the officials.
But yeah, that would be a T for a lot of coaches.
Yeah Tennessee has the tie breaker over us, as does Arkansas, so we're staring at the 3 seed unless they both somehow lose this week.
F*ck that sucks.

I believe that is in the event of a 3 way tie.
It's pretty much guaranteed to only be a 2 way tie because Ark and TN play each other, and I believe we lose out to both of those teams in a head-to-head tie breaker
We split with Tenn …have a better overall record and a higher ranking …not sure what the tiebreakers are if this isn’t it
SEC Tournament Tie-Breakers
It looks like the 2nd tie breaker is the record of both teams vs. the #1 seeded team, which Tennessee is 1-1 while we're 0-1.
I think more than that, he wants to prime our guys into playing there best basketball as a healthy group. And sees it more as a dress rehearsal for the dance.
Is there a site where we can bet on the SEC-T champ? I’m guessing our odds are about 5:1, which I would take this year!
I would give Auburn maybe 9:2, UK 5:1, UT and Ark 11:2, Bama 10:1, field 10:1.

I'm all for the SEC tournament becoming Kentucky's revenge tour for the conference this year. We want Arkansas, UT or Auburn or any combination the SECT can give us for that to happen.
Can't wait to see how it shakes out. In the end, we're going to be just fine.
Go Big Blue !

I really think Cal needs to take this week and make some adjustments for Grady. The SEC seems to have figured out the formula for beating us. Completely take Grady out of the game, limit Oscar the best that you can and make an injured Ty Ty and Wheeler try to beat them. I know this has been stated a million times on this board already but Cal has GOT to figure out how to get Grady open looks.
Another issue I see if the potential for Grady's legs to be a little tired from the long minutes he has been putting in. He needs to find ways to get him some spot rest. If his shots aren't falling in March it makes this team much easier to beat.

My prediction: UK is not the favorite to win it.
Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee, heck I'll throw in Alabama and LSU..........
These other teams could win it.
