      Just got through talking to a good friend of mine and we both agree that this team has a very good chance of reaching the F4. I really like Pope as a coach, when he was announced as our coach many did not think it was a good hire. I watched a lot of BYU games the year before he was hired and I really liked his coaching. Really good with in game coaching and knows which players to get to fit his system. Just praying we can win it all this year. Going to be a fun season.

        Worst case scenario record, 21-10 regular season and sweet 16.

        Best case scenario record, 23-8 regular season and elite 8.

        Our schedule is brutal. I don’t want to come across as being pessimistic but we don’t have shooters and in Pope’s offense you need shooters.

          I'm a bit more optimistic. I see a FF in our future. But I admit this is more realistic.
          The value of time is beyond computation. Life is too short to be trifled away. We have but a few days of probation in which to prepare for eternity.

            I tend to agree with you regarding the schedule and the best case scenario outcome....only I don't think that is the best case scenario. I think this team COULD win #9. THAT would be the best case scenario. But I'm really not anticipating it. I'm thinking Elite 8 as well....but the 23 wins doesn't take into account the SEC Tournament and March Madness. I see a couple of SEC tournament wins and a few NCAA tournament wins, bringing the season total to 28 or possibly 29. Hope I'm wrong and the season win total is more like 33 or 34 with a national championship!

                  Lol, your best- and worst-case scenarios are only separated by two wins?

                    It's really tough to predict what a team will do in the NCAAT. It comes down to who is hot once the tournament starts. If we are injury free, this team can win 6 in a row, because it will definitely be battle tested. That schedule is brutal.
                    I predict 30 regular season wins.

                      And not predicting a FF or Title as best case? Pretty much every media outlet will have UK in the conversation to cut down the nets.

                        Im not so much worried about the Wins and losses during the regular season, 6 in a row is all that matter when it counts.

                        Good health, good chemistry will go along ways...

                          It seems like it has been awhile since we’ve entered March healthy, hoping the wind starts to shift on that this year.

                            We have the most wins, highest winning percentage, most SEC regular season titles, and most SEC tournament championships.

                            I’d like to return to contributing positively to each of those stats…it’s been too long since we have.

                              Hard to believe the last SECT title was 2018.
