Should be top 10 and ahead of now #6 Duke.
Beat them on a neutral floor “wink-wink”.
You could make an argument for top 5 but they all hate us too much for that to happen.

Anything outside the top 10 would be a disgrace.
For anyone not named Kentucky it would be but they do this crap all the time to the Kings of CB.
The hate is real and strong and its games like tonight that cont to fan that hate flame.
F’em.

I think alot of it was Cal hate right? I think alot of the stuff that happened at UK under him also happened when he was at Memphis.

Like I said in the other thread, I believe more people will jump on this UK teams bandwagon.

Coach Pope is coaching perfectly for today's game. UK has the experience and the type of players needed to win.

I follow all SEC basketball so I will admit I'm biased, but I dont see how anyone could deny UKs potential here. What's even better is that UK is working 12 new players in and the chemistry isn't even fully there yet which will change as the season progresses.

We will move up 2-4 spots based on the idea that Duke wasn’t at full strength yet. And maybe they had some hurt guys (kind of) and they only got about 2-4 bad calls opposed to their usual 8-10. And it was a basically a home game for us. And Duke players didn’t sleep well. And tummy aches..And the sun was in their eyes.

I think we deserve to be top 10. I also want to add that I think that Duke team would wipe the floor with #1 Kansas. Kansas isn’t the #1 team by far…


We will find out November 26th. First and only time I may ever pull for Duke.

For the first time in my life, I believe Duke shouldn't fall too far, maybe to 8th and we jump them to 6th.

Go Cats!!

3rd game of the season, we are 3-0. Rankings mean nothing. Higher rankings doesn't get you anything this early. I would like to see in all sports, no rankings until 1/3 of your games are played.

The next poll is not the one we should keep our eyes on. The one we should be looking out for is the week of the 8th. That will when UK comes off a 4 game home stretch where we play Lipscomb, Jackson State, Western Kentucky, and Georgia State, followed by a huge road game against Clemson.

We could potentially be 8-0 heading into our matchup with Gonzaga. We'd probably be a top 5-8 team at that point.

Was thinking similar. We have a nice run of games that should be wins, before getting to Gonzaga on December 8th. Had we lost last night, we probably drop to the mid 20s and likely don't move much until Gonzaga.. maybe 1 spot or 2 a week.

But now, we have the top10 win, and we should be somewhere in the low teens I'd think. If we take care of business we should be in the top10/top8 come Gonzaga. And looking ahead, despite the outcome of that game, we should be heading into the SEC top10.

This Duke win sets the tone very nicely for UK to be ranked all season, barring some setbacks.

Duke has two amazing offensive players who can score at will and prolly the best rim protector in the game. All their role players are athletic and play tough defense. We just beat a very good team that I believe will go to #1 by end of season. I think we will be lucky 13 next week and after the next five games will crack the top ten.
