Is probably unachievable due to our tough schedule but I’ll settle for any record as long as we cut down the nets in April! What say you BBN????
40-0
- Thread starter cc_rider_rivals389007
- Start date
I just want 6-0 in the end.
Winning on the road in conference play at 9:00 pm on a weekday is not easy. There will be bad nights and, unfortunately, some hiccups.
As long as we win the last game... that is what matters. 37-3 or 40-0 - the last win is the most important.
At the moment there are 3 other ranked SEC teams Florida, Auburn, and LSU. We play at all 3. UT is thought by many to be good though not like the last couple years. Still Knoxville is always a tough place for UK. And we have 5 other road games the SEC. someone might surprise us. Ohio St on a neutral court, at Texas Tech, and though it pains me to say it UL in Rupp. Some are saying UL could be the best team in the country. We won’t lose all of those, but I have to figure we won’t win them all either.

Then 40-0 again next year. I can see it.
In fact, the way recruiting is going, the Cats may never lose again until Cal retires.

WC its a combo of things:
A. Beating #1 on Nov. 5 on neutral court
B. The fact that Cal’s teams have so much upside based on youth and talent as season progresses.
C. Schedule-its set up nicely with toughest road games not coming until late Jan. and early March.
D. U of L game is in Rupp
Have been watching CBB for many years and would love to UK do this but I just don't see it happening.
Well don't jinx it!! Remember what happened in 1997 with Derek Anderson? Or that other guy from 1970 who got hurt during Rupp's last real chance at a Final Four and maybe another championship?
What difference does it make?
Well consider that the 1976 IU Hoosiers were the last college basketball team to pull off an undefeated season, I’d say its a huge deal.
Thats 44 years ago, nearly half a century.
The next team to do it will become instant legends across the world.

From over 55 years of watching I've seen exactly three UK teams that had a legitimate shot at an undefeated season. Just an opinion but the 1970, 1978 and 2015 teams had the best chance. A lot has to do with the way the schedules are set up but the SEC was not as competitive in 1970 and 1978 as it is now. Vandy did pull the upset in 1970 but overall the conference was fairly weak. The 1978 team did lose a couple of SEC road games but the main nemesis, Tennessee, was down that season and there was no SECT to worry about. Won't even go into the 2015 season although they had a harder road because I still hate thinking about it.
