It is really anybodies guess. Kansas appears to be fading and UK has been the model of inconsistency. At the first of the year, I would have said Kansas by 20. Kansas has fallen 10 of those points with the loss of direction and their big man. Uk has improved for 10 of those points, so I call it even on a neutral floor. Uk probably gets 2 pts for Rupp.
If the recent trend continues it's time to flip the script. Last 12 - WWWLLLWWWLLL.
UK has lost game 1, game 9 and game 13. Those losses are pretty evenly spread through the season, they did not all come in at the start. at. That means you have been inconsistent.
If you guys wouldn't have stopped fouling you probably would have won that game.Got jobbed in 2016 @ Phog too.
Didn't have any more fouls to give. Four players fouled out and 2 more had 4. Two of them fouled out in a combined 26 minutes. Laughing
I remember. Stop cheating and you stay in the game longer. Simple as that.
Eh, they played every year in 70s and early 80s which was KU's worst era by far. KU is 7-6 since the 3 pointer (modern era) and 8-9 in my lifetime vs UK. Kentucky is the better overall program but the 22-9 series record is misleading imo. Recently we had some tough timing too, had to play Cal's best team ('12) twice and second best team ('15) once.
Kentucky football is actually one of the best teams in the SEC historically if you ignore all the seasons we were bad.
The time frame argument gets overused IMO. Any program can pick any time frame to ignore in order to make themselves look better.
Not surprised you missed the point entirely. Every season is different than a 15 year window for teams that have played 100+ years.
No, you missed the point. Games are played. They are won or lost. It is a horseshit argument to say "well....if you disregard the time period we weren't very good".......then you clearly don't have an argument. It's not our problem if you didn't field a good team then. Don't play if it's an issue. Or, play, and don't make excuses for your shortcomings. No, it's I who isn't surprised you missed the point entirely.
Why are you so upset? With this kind of attitude I think you guys will reach the tournament for the 6th straight year. Might even win your conference.
I have two pet peeves in life. Stupidity and laziness. Your "argument" falls under the former. Your entire premise is to disregard an era statistically because Kansas wasn't up to Kansas' traditional standards. Well....so effing what. That means dick when the ball gets thrown up. You lost those games, ergo, they count.
Champions find a way to win and non Champions don't.
You feel strongly about this. Kind of weird to feel that strongly about games played 35+ years ago. I don’t really care about games played before I was born.
Everyone needs something to make them feel good. If you can't be happy with the here and now, you have always got "back in GrandPa's day" in you're a UK fan.
And yet, you continue to make excuses for it. "We had a rough stretch in the 70's" "Recently we were unfortunate that we had to play some of Cal's best teams." Excuse after excuse for losing. Just own it.
I think too many KU fans are waving the white towel too early. While we do look to be hitting our stride here lately, inconsistency is still somewhat of an issue with this team, especially on defense.
