from what I read, from January 11th through February 1st we will play 6 out of 7 games ON THE ROAD. In that stretch we will play 4 straight road games.

Who in the world determined this schedule???

Good it will really test this team and coach. We will know more about ourselves and who accepts their roles to make us a better team. What we don’t like will make us stronger!

I don’t mind the tests as the opponents aren’t too tough (Duke will be tough). But road games can be tiring for a team with all the travel and dealing with all those opposing crowds.

I worry about the physical and mental wear and tear on our guys through that stretch.

It’s January 7th and UK is playing their first true road game since playing at basketball powerhouse Ole Miss, March 5th of last year.

If they lose at Georgia tonight, Cal to petition the NCAA and SEC to see if his team can go a full Calendar year without having to go on the road next season.

It is clear every game is tough for this team moving forward regardless of when and where the game is played. Maybe an extended road trip can pull these guys a little closer.

It will be tough and will test the team's mental toughness as well as physical. Let's hope they can get stronger from it and not the opposite.
