It's up for grabs. No defending champs. Transfer rules have been thrown out the door. No home,or very small home court advantage.
How confident are you all that your team can win it all?

If the team in Shaka's mind exist in reality I think we have a chance.
I think the second unit could be a NCAA team this year
Kai Jones
Gerald Liddell
Royce Hamm
Donovan Williams
Jase Febres
The man is pretty confident with all the shit going on around him. From what I have been hearing he has good reason to be.
So I say we have a decent chance. Especially if we can get through the Big 12 and the non Conference.
Pretty much playing all the top teams in CBB during the season

I think our shooting will be significantly improved from last year and our defense will still be top 10 but not the best like it was last years. I’ll honestly take that statistical trade if it does happen.
I’m confident we will be a top 5 team and have as good of a chance as anyone just like last year.
I do think it will take this team a little bit of time to gel because we do a have some new faces and guys stepping into néw roles.
Yes we lose Dok but David McCormack is going to average more points and still be very efficient. We will lose a little bit defensively from Dok to David. Once David settled in he will be a top 5 front court player. He can ball.
The thing I like about this Ku team is they are full of blue collar guys. It isn’t a bunch of guys who have their sights set on the NBA after this season. They are all the type of kids who will buy into what bill self wants and feel they have a lot to prove. Those are the type of teams that Bill Self has the most success with.
Gonzaga is going to be a very tough game for us out the gate but after a few games you will see the light go on.

Yeah, really. The dead people sitting court side at the Nose Dome are still dead, so no one will notice.
This is the sort of team Roy excels with positionally. However, not in terms of the age breakdown really. So we will see which one is more important. Their ACC schedule is tough this year though so not sure how that will impact win/loss and seeding.
Pretty confident with all those B1G teams rated so highly. Obviously a down year and anyone can take it.
They won’t be pitching tents in Ratville, that’s for damn sure.
Everyone thinks it's going to be next year when 17 yr. old Emoni Bates shows up. Don't be surprised if MSU is a FF team THIS year.
I'm optimistic, but I see potential for a mediocre year too. Lots of unproven players. Will McCormack score consistently? Can he defend with discipline? Can Agbaji shoot more consistently? Is Thompson ready to make a big impact at this level?
It's a weird situation where you have about 8 players with potential to be stars but no guaranteed stars.
Very confident. This is Beard's deepest, most talented team. So much potential, so much depth, so much talent. You know we're going to defend and we have several more options on the offensive end compared to last year. November 25th cant get here soon enough.

Gonna be a shootout. Just like most years...
Not even confident we will take home the Wade Houston Classic at this point.
Gonzaga just had their Kraziness in the Kennel scrimmage. Got to watch a 16 minute team scrimmage. After watching, I am very confident. I don't think there is a better trio out there than Timme, Kispert, and Jalen Suggs. WOW
He does have Self's nuts tucked away.
Nah, I think he made it clear that he doesn't expect much from Calipari's youngest team ever.
Have to be cautiously optimistic when you lose your top two players (by far).
I’m still mad about the tourney being cancelled. I think Self would have won #2. That team could absolutely lock down defensively when needed. I think they held WV scoreless for the last 10 minutes in Morgantown.
I do think this team will shoot better than last year and will have good depth. The player I’ve been worried about is McCormack, but Self’s been raving about him. He expects a big year for him.
Some of you are ready to see basketball.
Probably why they postponed the football game this weekend so KU can say they will see their basketball team play before their football team.
In my mind just as long as you have Marcus Garrett you will be a great defensive team.
The question becomes can you create separation on the other side.
I have never been confident about WVU Huggins team winning one until now. We have so much size and depth that it's rediculous. The 2 big guys finna eat but Miles Mcbride will become the star.

I'd imagine it feels good saying that.
Just curious, is KU better than UK in any sport?
I'm even will to compare rifle and cheerleading.
Besides basketball over the last 4 decades? I don't know. Maybe football?
Holy shit, I found a team with fewer wins and conference titles than KU football....
I’m confident we make the elite eight but that’s about it. I think we have the talent and a star or two. We have tall, long athletes. If we can shoot decently, we have as good a shot as anyone.
Kentucky has a pretty good women's volleyball team.
They had a decent track program but Texas took their coach. Don't know if it is still up there.
Their entire athletic program has taken a step up across the board recently.
So there is some respect there for Kentucky
But....
Think Jeff Goodman has them triggered
