Oops, I forgot to mention that we play Robert Morris also.

 

[FlGator22]

Gators have a tough one:

@ Florida State
vs. Oklahoma (B4A)
vs. Stanford/Wisconsin (B4A)
vs. Butler/Dayton/Middle Tenn/Virginia (B4A)
vs. West Virginia
vs. Michigan State
vs. Butler
@ TCU

 

[AWilli6995]

UNC has a tough OOC schedule, at least I think it is.

@ Wofford
@ Elon
Stanford
@ Michigan
N- UCLA
N -Texas or Michigan St.
N- UK
Gonzaga
Davidson

That’s tough too.

 

[JimboBBN]

Kentucky plays Duke, Kansas, and UNC this season. Can’t remember the last time that happened.

 

[Global Havok]

I think this is accurate for UK, watching the game so I'm not gonna double check

Duke (Neutral)
Monmouth
UNC Greensboro
Seton Hall (Neutral)
Utah
@UL
UNC (Neutral)
KU

 

[KisteK]

I don't believe it's the toughest, but Kansas' is legit..

 

[HRTheCard]

What Rock said + our hardest Conference games are:
Duke
UVA (twice)
UNC (twice)
Clemson
@ Syracuse
Miami
@ Virginia Tech
@ Florida State

Take that + our OCC with @ Seton Hall, @ IU, N vs UT, N vs Kansas/Marquette, Michigan State, and Kentucky.

Gauntlet!

UK has Duke, Kansas, UNC, Seton Hall, Utah, and UNC-Greensboro (won conference reg season and tourney last year, lost by 4 to Gonzaga in the dance). Unfortunately, they also play Louisville, so that waters it down a bit. Everybody has to have a cupcake or two though, right?!

1/10 you'll reel in more Uk fans with that than us

Forgot they also have Monmouth, so that game might even out the RPI dip from playing the Cards.

Plus we play in the daunted SEC

They're also likely playing Tennessee and Louisville.

Not trolling, just curious how many wins you see outta that schedule? I'll admit it's pretty tough. Put down you're coke bottle red shade glasses, and give us an unbiased prediction.

It’s hard to tell what this team can do, without a full time coach last year, they would fold under adversity and start playing me ball. Hopefully Mack gets that out of the equation quickly. This team does have talent, just lacks depth. To answer your question, I would be happy if we’re close to .500 against these teams.

I think that's a very optimistic stretch. But to be honest, I don't know who's on your team other than Williams and the other kid that shoots is good. Is the McDonalds American kid still with you?

Jordan Nwora may be our best player this year, we have a solid starting 5.

Nwora
Enoch
Williams
Perry
King

Bench
McMahon
Sutton

And we have two grad transfers that I know nothing about.

Yeah the Nwora kid, I think is a good shooter.

 

[dukedevilz]

The schedules posted look very competitive. Looks like teams are starting to get the message. Overall losses don't really matter as long as you still have quite a few quality wins; UNC was a 2 seed last year with 10 losses, but they also had something like 13-14 Q1 wins.

Duke's schedule looks decent, not sure if it's a top 10 OOC Schedule, though.

Kentucky (Indianapolis, Champions Classic)
San Diego State (Maui)
Auburn/Xavier (Maui)
Gonzaga/Arizona/Iowa State/Illinois (Maui)
Indiana
Texas Tech (Madison Square Garden)
St.John's

Auburn and Gonzaga have the makeup to be top 10 teams, so hopefully we play both of them in Maui.

King was the burger boy wasn’t he

 

[Jaycg15]

Iowa and Maryland typically have the toughest schedule to watch.

 

[anon_0astpxev9h4gk]

Yeah, Williams was a 5 star too, right on the cusp at like 26/27.

 

[anon_0astpxev9h4gk]

Our squad actually is going to be pretty decent this year. I've heard Williams has packed on 15 or 20 pounds, much more of a post game. I've also heard that VJ King and Jordan Nwora are playing their best basketball to date. I expect VJ to be el captain. Some solid grad transfers in mixed with a big body in Enoch-6'11 250 lbs. We should be a top 25 team.

I wouldn't be surprised. Also, back to the topic for UL fans. Aren't you glad Mack is actually scheduling a tough OOC schedule. Be honest, UL has had some pretty weak OOC schedules under Pitino. It's gotta be exciting right?

It's exciting, yet a bit worrying due to our insanely tough ACC schedule, but I'm happy we have Mack, he seems to have our best interest. It will be fun getting to watch some top match-ups early on, instead of Coppin State, or whoever tf we usually play haha.

 

[CardVille]

It feels like a brand new team with only our 3rd coach in 40+yrs. Love the tough schedule but would have preferred a cupcake or two to start the season. I am just hoping we can do enough to get to the dance this year.

Nwora should be ready to start FWIW. King has gained around 20 lbs of muscle as well. Perry has progressed as the floor general

How can both UK and UofL go 40-0?

This was mostly Pitino’s schedule. The NIT tourney, Uk, IU, SH, all of those were already set.

 

[npreston]

Kentucky plays Duke, Kansas, and UNC this season. Can’t remember the last time that happened.

It’s gonna suck going 0-3 in those games.

 

[speedfrk]

UK and KU both have really tough schedules it looks like

We owe Kansas for a couple now after that schlacking we put on yal a few years ago

The thing is, UK is so good, all the games are easy.

You forgot Katina Powell cumming off I mean on the bench.

Oh look LKC once again NOT talking about the school that he is a "fan" of. Btw, there are 2 m's, not 1.
