Keep DeVries and Wilkerson under 30-35 max, and UK should win this one by 5+🚨🚨🚨

I quit drinking this week and told myself I was gonna get my act together, wasn’t going to let some 18-22 year old rich spoiled brats half assing it out there bother me anymore. Now that I’m six beers deep, looking forward to pulling out a big win and getting this thing turned around.
This team may have quit, but the fans haven’t.

Don’t give up…don’t ever give up.

Must win. I think this is the game that’s going to determine if Mark makes it much longer or not. He needs a signature in a bad way, lose to them first time back and I think you can seal his fate. Unless something crazy happens. this game could be something to turn the tide of his career when he looks back.

Also it’s one game and we’ve been terrible. So it’s not something I’m going to just think everything is fine even if we do. Until Kentucky is dominant the way we’re supposed to be it’s failure on all fronts.

Also pisses me off how many people were joyed when we stopped playing them. We would have won the last 15 straight and dominated these guys but we let Calipari sucker us into losing that. Now he’s gone and couldn’t care less and here we are playing them once they’ve got some footing. It’s total BS. And I will always believe and many do he did that because he didn’t want to lose to Crean.
Was a must win vs Gonzaga.

Lose this game and the season is pretty much over. Knowing that, if Pope doesn’t have them ready to play from the beginning then get rid of them all.

5 total losses and 0-0 in Conference...IF we lose...and you are raising the white flag and surrendering...Brother, this is America, not France

If they lose this game they'd either have to roll through the SEC with 5 losses or less or win the SEC tournament to make the NCAA tournament. That's the problem with scheduling teams in the 300s; they're the only ones we've beaten. If they lose tonight I don't want them to give up but I realize that making the NCAA tourney at the end of the year would be a longshot and maybe it's already that way. That's not giving up; it's just acknowledging the hill you have to climb.

At some point you have to win a game of merit or the math starts working against you. We're getting too damn close to that point.

That's ridiculous. 11-7 record for Kentucky in the SEC and an SEC tourney win will put us in my guy. Sure as heck dont have to go 15-3 to make the dance

I edited it to say 5 losses. I wish it were different but if UK loses to IU and St. Johns an SEC record of 11-7 record would not get us in, not with a zero winning percentage against non-quad 4 teams in non-conference play. An 11-7 record in the SEC would then leave UK with a max of 11 quad one wins for the entire regular season. That does not get you into the NCAA tournament.

Might get us the play in game in Dayton. Which would be as bad as missing in my book.

And both of those scenarios mean we suck.

This isn’t Tennessee. This is Kentucky.

having said that I want to make it of course but still.

I didn't say we were going 11-7. I was only saying we don't HAVE to go 15-3

And if that happens, THEN you fire Pope. I have faith that the last game was a new beginning.

Alabama and Arizona fans better have ESPNNEWS cued up. Our game starts at 7:45 on ESPN and they are showing Alabama V Arizona starting at 9:30.
They really need to schedule these games with some buffer time in between.

yeah, unless they start our game later than 7:45 we might miss most of the first half as the Vandy-cupcake game won't be more than a couple minutes into the second half at that time.
