    Tourney appearance in jeopardy?

    Folks I don't mean to sound the alarm just yet but time is getting short and the Cats need some wins.
    with 4 games left on the schedule and only 1 game guaranteed in the SEC, where will we.pick up at least a couple more w
    ins to keep us off of the dreaded bubble
    AS has been stated in the past, the team is good enough to win them all but also unpredictable to lose them all.
    miss state may be the only game they're favored in. Fla, Texas am and Vandy could be tough.
    I think our wins come from S car and Vandy and hopefully an SEC TOURNEY win. I think these wins would get us in.
    17/18 total wins, the cats are out. 19 wins, BUBBLE
    Starts

    Yep. We were in a perfect spot to take over the lead in SEC standings and with 3 consecutive losses we are charging hard for bubble territory. SMDH.

      I have no clue how this season ends. Within a week and a half they went from having an opportunity to be 1st place in the SEC to now sitting in 9th place. I could see them losing all 4, I could see them going 3-1 with an upset over Florida or Vandy.

      During the ooc struggles I kept thinking they might put this team in Dayton for a play in game. That might be a real possibility.

        I'm still not sure if our situation is due to untalented players or an unqualified coach. At times both have proven very good while other times were very bad.
        I'm confused and After almost the whole season I still can't figure them out.

        I keep waiting for the team.to get it together and catch fire and make some noise in the Dance.

                If UK only beats South Carolina then I think they will miss the tourney. That would be a record of 18-13, probably a 9th place SEC finish and ending the year losing 6 of 7. I think they will be left out.

                If they win 2 more then I think they are in the NCAAT as a 9 or 10 seed.

                  A really fun game would be UK vs a 1-loss Miami (OH) team in the play-in game in Dayton. That place would be rocking with Miami fans.

                    Looking at last year's last 4 in, first 4 out, we're probably right on the bubble if we finish 1-3 and then go 1-1 in the SEC tournament (probably as a 10 seed beating the 15 then losing to 7). That would make us 19-14 and with comparable records to UNC, Texas, IU, and OSU last year (2 of whom got in, 2 left out). In our favor is that we have the #4 SOS currently and are 29th in the NET, both higher than all those teams last year, though the NET rating could fall SOME. If we want to be safe we need to finish 2-2 and or make noise in the SEC tournament.

                      Bracket Matrix updated this morning, we're still a 7-seed on there (individual brackets range from 6 to 9). Last 4 in: Missouri, TCU, Santa Clara, New Mexico. First 4 out: USC, OSU, SDSU, VCU

                          Distancing myself this year from watching live has made me more of a "Big deal" on the tourney. Even if this team gets to the tourney as a whatever seed, not sure they have what it takes to even win the first game. This teams acts like every game is not that big o a deal (by he way everyone talks about our first half play). If we play in NCAA that way against TSOB U, The sisters of the blind, they will not be able to come back. You give any team the idea that not only can they compete but heck we are winning attitude, then you go home early.

                          At this point might as well lose the rest, first round of SEC Tourney and sit at home and watch other teams compete.

                          Sorry but at this point of he season and not getting any better, if not worse from most of the year,, is the attitude I have now.
