They may become the ACC's only ranked team besides Duke.
Don't look now, but little brother is good

It’s very possible they will have a better record than us, simply because of the weak ACC.
But Kelsey was a HR hire for them, so far.

They are 12 and 5. Pump the brakes.
"HR hire" lol...based on what? They haven't beaten a top 25 team yet, and the ACC this year is the worst P5 league I can remember.
Pump the brakes on what? They have a real shot at winning the next 5-6 easily in that league. Easily the second best team. Nobody is saying they are title worthy but they aren’t a bad team by any stretch.
6 in a row, including UNCheat, Clemson and at Pitt. That includes 3 road wins in conference. Yes, the ACC is. not good, but winning your first 3 road games in conference is impressive.

And if you had reading comprehension, you would see that I pointed out how crappy that league is.
They have a good team considering they are rebuilding. UL has 5 losses, but lets look at who theyve lost to
Duke
Kentucky
Oklahoma
Ole Miss
Tennessee
They beat Indiana, Clemson, and UNC who is struggling, but is still UNC. 3 of those 5 losses came without a starter and a key reserve.

Big fan of Chucky Hepburn. He's the kind of guard that wins you games in March.
Love his tenacity. I was really hoping he would wear Kentucky blue. Butler is nice too., though. Watching SDSU's offense it's easy to see why Butler wasn't considered more of an offensive player. Dutcher's offense is offensive.
Mississippi State beat that Pitt team by 33.

Give him some credit. He’s played against a quality schedule and has kept his head above water. They hired a good one I believe.
I don’t watch much college basketball outside of UK.
But I did part of one their games when that Guy Ferai look alike was playing.
He was pretty good. That might have been the game he got hurt in?
With where UL is now with a newly constructed roster, just hammers home how bad Payne was.
Historically bad.
Historically bad.
Actually, two starters (Pryor, Johnson) and and a key reserve (Traore).
As of now they’re a tournament team. Might end up being a Quad 1 win for us.
They for sure did and they are missing two big pieces of the current team for the year.
The ACC sucks. The conference is really bad. UL is improved for sure and Kelsey is doing a great job.
OP; little bro is good.
Me; puh leez
Meaning ; give me a break, little bro can suck monkey balls.
Hope this helps.
Their schedule is favorable in the 18 team ACC. They don't have any games left with Duke, UNC, or Clemson.
Have said it before. I wish Hepburn would go into the portal after this season and we get him. He is really good. The type you win titles with.
winning is contagious it builds confidence and I think they are starting to peak will be dangerous in tournament
Little brother has as many total wins right now in early January as they had in all their previous two seasons combined. In terms of the coaches who would ever realistically even consider applying to that dumpster fire of a program and then have to convince kids to actually go there, Pat Kelsey is absolutely a bleeding edge end-of-the-fireworks-show home run hire.
They’re 0-4 against the SEC. And we handled them pretty adequately. They’re definitely better, and Kelsey is a good coach, albeit quirky, but I like our coach better and think long term we will remain a step ahead of them.
Say what you want, but they gave us a good game at home. The game is going to mean way more, if both teams are ranked in the top 15.
In none of those games did UofL have their full squad, including starters and key reserves, Pryor, Johnson and Traore.
Pryor did play against UT.
Not saying wins were inevitable.
Only Traore is back.
There won’t be any easy games against them again though. Especially at the Yum. I believe we will still be better on average but he has them playing good ball it’s not too many pieces. He’s starting to get talent to commit too.
Yeah they will most likely finish the year with a great ACC record and overall. They may challenge Duke for a little bit if they have a slip up. I doubt they will and Duke already beat them, but they won’t have too many losses it’s not looking like.
