Would you like a rematch with Arkansas in the SECT?

Kentucky with Butler, who missed the first game (and a healthier Carr, who barely played), and Arkansas without Thiero, who was their best player in the first game (or with a gimpy Thiero?) I like the way that sounds...And Calipari coaching in a Tournament setting? Sounding better all the time.

No. Their athleticism would hurt us again. I feel confident we'd beat them this time but how awful would it be for them to beat us twice and knock us out of the SEC tourney. Rather avoid that chance.

They may not have thiero and of course no fland so I don't find the matchup that concerning.

I think if they beat msu Saturday they are near 100% n the ncaa at 8-10 in the sec. Probably first 4 type team but in. So I don't buy into the desperation and cal doesn't like the sec tournament anyways.

No

Wagner would become mark sears again, and a ton of back step 3s...

Arkansas is just bad matchup for us...

Bet Cals attitude about the SEC Tournament would change if they were playing Kentucky

100% yes. They played outta their minds and we had one of our worst games. Cal in any tournament setting is iffy and SECT he doesn't give a **** about.
He will give a **** this year if we are aligned with them in the SECT. You can guarantee it. He has made it his personal goal to never lose to Kentucky. It is now HIS Super Bowl. They could be 4-16 and he'd do everything he could to coach that team to win against UK.

I don't want to see them again, but will be fine if we do. I think we'd win this one, although the refs....

As a fanbase, we begged to get rid of the guy because he frankly can’t cut the mustard and now the whole fanbase is scared of the chicken farmer. Cal ain’t 💩. Arkansas ain’t 💩. If Greg Sankey is smart, he needs to rig a few games and setup the Cats and the Hogs for Nashville so we can spank that Walmart shopping waste of a program in nice fashion.

Not scare of him at all, I just know he was a completely different coach that night against UK at Rupp. He did things he never did with us or even continued doing at Arkansas after that win. It's clear he turns on a different side of himself when it's against UK.

I still think we'd win, but it would be a damned ugly game full of fouls and muck. Which is funny considering Cal hated that kind of opposition when he was at UK.

I would, especially if Adou is out. He’s the player who kills us the most. With Butler back I think we could cook them if we play like last night. Their athleticism bothers me a little but we should zone them. They won’t shoot like they did in our game or against Vandy very often. It would suck to lose to the, again but I wanna win and you have to beat good teams anyway. If we can’t beat them we won’t do much anyway.

I want to see us beat mizzou, get a few days to get ready for 4 games (if we could win and move on), then play whomever we draw and play our best basketball heading into the NCAA. Does that mean we win, nope. But would be nice for UK fans to stay a few days and enjoy the tourney. I just want us to be as healthy as possible starting Saturday at Noon EST. Then rest Sunday, work on tourney stuff from then on out.
