Jerry Palm Projects Kentucky OUT of NCAA Tournament

[Joneslab]

Needless to say, tomorrow's game is monumental. Probably one of the most important games of the Cal era.

Kind of ridiculous to project it this far out, but I do agree we don't look like a tournament team.

The good news is that there are plenty of wins in the SEC for a decent team if we could get it together, and if we could split the next two we'd be okay. But if this team is flailing around in a month it could be in some trouble.

I’m holding my eval if we are or not going to make the tournament after the OSU & Loui game...main thing I’m looking for is fight!

[JFCats22]

Absolutely must win at a least one of the next two games or the NIT talk will surely ramp up.

if UK goes into SEC play at 8-4 with only 5-6 quality wins available they may be in big trouble.

These guys just don't have it and they are soft as charmin. Sometimes that's just the way it is. When a player or two has those traits it usually lies within the individual. When the whole team is like that? I will just leave it right there. I will be HIGHLY shocked to see anything other than two butt whoopins in a row. Prove me wrong Cats. PLEASE!

The University of Kentucky should NEVER miss the NCAA tournament. If this happened it would be the second time in Cals tenurethat happened. I still think we can make the field but if we don’t I think Cal should renegotiate his contract, not even making the dance is NOT what he promised us when he came here.

Lord never thought I would be hearing this about Kentucky basketball

We heard this a few times under Tubby, twice under Gillispie, and once or twice at this point in the season under Cal.

This isn't some new development.

College basketball sucks this year; Kentucky isn't missing the tournament.

Well I knew it would happen in 2013..but not if Nerlens doesn't get hurt......but with the talent Cal gets we should never be mentioned in the NIT......IMO

Agree that's what he's after. But our resume so far stinks. Our signature win was against a so-so team without their probably second best player. Our 2 losses are...embarrassing. They eye test as we beat the other cupcakes is unimpressive. We've got to figure something out or this projection will be right on. If we lose these next 2 by 18+ apiece then what do we have to make us believe?

Therefore...let's get it done today and next week!

Per the article, the prediction was based on what the situation would be if the tournament started as of the time of the article. He states he believes UK will be in the tournament come March.

Which means clickbait

I'm not saying it's clickbait, or it isn't. He isn't saying UK won't be in the Big Dance, as some seem to think, just the opposite.
