This team will miss the tournament

[JakeKx]

They’ll be lucky to go .500 in conference play and won’t have any good quad wins.
It’s obvious this isn’t going to work.
Barnhart will likely sign an extension.

 

[Guyute]

7-6 going into SEC play.

 

[TJ_Ford]

Absolutely NIT NIT NIT

 

[jedwar]

What’s the qualifications for the NIT?

 

[IL_Wildcat]

Agreed. It's not a tournament team. I agree with Guyute up there. 7-6 going into the SEC is likely. And then we're gonna struggle to even be .500 in the SEC. NIT might be hard to get. You have to finish above .500 to get in the NIT. We may not make it. We're gonna lose every road game, guaranteed. These arenas will still be sold out and UK is still the big name, just no big talent.

This might be our worst season in a LONG time.

Gonna guess we get to 17 or 18 wins. That looks like the cap as of right now.

not that long, only 5 years. that's what UK basketball has become, missing the tournament a couple times per decade.

 

[Eastkybball]

Hell we won’t even be invited to the NIT

 

[MidseasonTweak]

NIT bound only to be knocked out by Georgetown again

 

[LadyCaytIL]

If thats what it takes to get a new coach in for next year so be it.

if pope didnt get lucky vs illini last year, he wouldve been gone

 

[kuhlkat]

All depends if we get JQ back. Without him, we won't make the tourney.

Dude I'm down right now too but that just isn't true.

 

[chasingwildcat]

We dominated Illinois the whole game

Last year was not bad one

Ok for Kentucky standard, not good

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Pope is gonna have over 20 loses in two years.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

Pope is gonna have over 20 loses in two years.

probably by the end of January

I always enjoy your posts and to see you this down is crazy and kinda comforting cause I feel the same way. Was thinking I was being irrational, but it appears I’m not the only one who is beyond worried!
