If Kentucky wins a title under mark Pope on his first year. There better be a movie made. Because that is crazy how he came in with a program that was on the serious decline and no players or staff was left when he took the job. Completely started from scratch in a very short amount of time. Pope should at least get coach of the year guy has done incredible so far.
UK could 100% win the title this year. They have veterans, and they have a team where a different guy can step up and beat you. Teams don’t have the luxury of being able to focus on one guy and shut him down and hope for a win. Also, like what was said earlier, these guys love Mark Pope and will run through a wall for him. The only team that may be better than UK is Auburn, and what makes Auburn special is the same reason why UK is special.
I think Tennessee is on that level too. Infact I'd say Kentucky Auburn Tennessee aren't only the best 3 in the SEC but I'd also say the 3 best in the country.
Tenn, Auburn, Kentucky. As of right now one of those teams is cutting down the nets in March. After what Pope & co have done in their first 11 games at Kentucky you can’t seriously say they don’t have what it takes. Who is beating them on a neutral court? Like that’s the thing. March isn’t played home and home. It’s all neutral. So, I’ll take those 3 teams to a final 4 if 2 of them aren’t in the same bracket as a 1-2.
Auburn looks scary good. I definitely think this UK team has what it takes to go to a final 4 but like always the draw and a few breaks matter. I wanna see way better defense and rebounding before I start thinking deep runs but I love my team.
@BrandonGavin_EDC as a UK fan, Auburn is scary. Their big is scary efficient. Our weakness is our big. Williams can't hang with their guy, and our rebounding has been suspect. Auburn could beat us in the interior and if our shots aren't falling, game over
They could definitely win the national title. We all remember UConn’s run as 7 seed. Butler was on the 2023 final four all tournament team. He’s built for big moments. We’ve seen guards go on 2 final runs. Jalen Brunson 2016, 2018 2 runs in 3 years, Shabazz Napier 2011 as freshman, 2014 as senior, Kemba Walker 09, 2011.
This year? I doubt it but the team and staff put Pope put together in 4 weeks is just amazing. Take a really good coach who is smart and give him the support and resources and good things happen. This is a really good team that isn't physical enough to win a Title but it will also be Pope's least talented team and that should be a scary thought for UK haters.
Kenny sky walker in 1986, losing a few years there Jeffery. Louisville is really solid, they play hard. If they had about 2 more legit players they would be tough. I agree top 4 ACC team.
Kentucky would be 10 and 0 right now if they had a healthy Lamont Butler against Clemson!!!! When Kentucky's hitting their threes, they can beat anybody at any time!!!
The last several Kentucky teams we felt could win it all or lose in the first round. This team you can feel a deep tournament run coming. And they’re good enough to win it all.
Sky Walker def didn’t do so in 96’! lol That being the Pope title squad.. More like 86’ vs GT’own in the game that still haunts fans as just blowing it in 2nd half.. Can’t blame it on Sky Walker, 11 of 11 from the floor
One thing not mentioned about KY’s spotlight inexperience. Pope is clearly doing an impeccable job cutting through the noise and getting through to this team off the court. I have full confidence that off the court distractions won’t have an affect on the tesm.
I love Kentucky, and am happy for Lamont! Concern yesterday was that L'ville got a step on our Wildcats defenders almost every Cardinal offensive possession. Our Cats often recovered, but speed could be a problem.
UL shot 50+% from 3 and out rebounded UK by 15+ and UK still almost won by double digits. That is very rare. UL fans saying we barely won dont know the ins and outs of basketball. Its sad.
Love what i am seeing from Kentucky. Mark Pope, is doing a great job recruiting players that fit in his style or system. It's shows if you can recruit players that fits with a system. they can hang with teams with NBA caliber talent teams.
As a Kentucky fan I'm worried about SEC play! You have to rebound and play good defense unless your hitting 13-15 3 pointers a game then it really doesn't matter but if we struggle at the 3 its going to be a long night !
we got our own advantages the other teams don’t have. and we have a tremendous coach who can get the most out of his players. don’t be too pessimistic we have a great team!!
Uk fan here Louisville will have a good team in the future Pat will succeed there but man the sky is the limit for this Kentucky team wow go big blue 🎉
We may not have the most talent or whatever but these guys play hard, don’t give up, and we have a good coach. I love my chances. I love this team . Right draw they can do it for sure.
This is just fantasy in my mind. Huge UK fan but goodness these expectations in the first year will only lead to disappointment. Be realistic. Haven't even started the regular season yet. Be patient. Let Pope build the program before we put this kind of pressure on him.
I am a life long UK fan. Reality check: if you get outworked by an injury laden mid team like UL and you need a career effort by one of your best players you don't look like a title contender. It is only December. This was just a December win and not a great one.
We have injuries too and all that goes out the window in a rivalry game. You obviously know nothing about basketball... UL hit over 50% of their 3s and put rebounded UK by 15+ and Kentucky didn't shoot well and still almost won by double digits. That doesn't happen which is why people are saying we can win a title. Learn basketball then come back and fake like you're a uk fan to get your point across. It will work better. We all know you are a butt hurt UL goofy.
The reason Kentucky is so hard to beat is because of how hard it is to gameplan and scheme for them. A different person can step up every game and beat you. Go Big Blue 💙
Jeff Goodman is a bum! He talked all that trash about Kentucky before the year and put his foot in his mouth! He never admits when he is wrong! Only when he's right which is 2% of the time!
We have flaws. Our defense was pretty poor last night. Louisville had too many open looks and offensive rebounds. We need Williams, Brea, and Garrison to step up their intensity
Crazy how competitive the sec is. My top 4 teams are Auburn, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama. I think maybe even Florida has a chance to make a deep NCAA tournament run. Don’t sleep on Florida, Florida will mess a lot of peoples brackets up.
The Kentucky Louisville rivalry is the best in college basketball. You could argue north Carolina and duke but both rivalries have 11 combined championships. Yes one of Louisvilles have been vacated but 2 of north Carolinas should be vacated. They were making up classes or guys wouldn't have been able to play! As a Kentucky fan its disgusting what they've let north Carolina and Kansas get away with but took Louisville's championship away after Pitino was found not guilty!
Ok Alex Jones. Nothing UNC did compared to bringing in stripper/prostitutes for like 2 seasons. And I'm pretty certain most every major program has had their share of cupcake courses. Matt Leinart had a ballroom dancing class, FFS.
UL stayed in the game mostly by taking quite a few more shots, their 1st half off. rebounding, and 3-pt shooting. Butler was tremendous, but he did miss 5 FTs. That just boggles the mind. He, Williams, Kriisa, and Robinson need to shore up their shooting from the line and on 3s. Btw, Kenny Walker went 11-11 in '86 not '96.
The only thing stopping Uk from winning it all is their big men inconsistently missing little bunny shots and free throws. In March the game slows down and they HAVE TO POUND THE PAINT WITH THEIR 2 big men. This is literally how the championships are won. Big men, rebounding, and free throws
Sky man was a bit before 96 he played in the 80’s! The 96 was probably the best team ever assembled with the pitino at the top of his game, but no sky walker
So, why is ky basketball not considered in the same " tier " as auburn or Tennessee??.... Am I missing something here? Didn't ky beat duke that beat auburn? Illinois is probably the best team Tennessee has played outside of a decent baylor team and they barely escape while the powerhouse uconn barely escapes the same zags ky fought back 18 down and beat and all while ky has beaten these guys without 2 dudes! Sec play is right around the corner and we're all gonna realize these top " tier " teams can be beat any given night by anyone more than once, lol!
At 7:40 it’s not an out of pocket consideration when thinking about the moving parts….i understand Jeff’s reason for objecting as 22-23 year olds are different than 18/19….BUT it’s still young to be walking around feeling (basically) famous and loved And Cals guys were heralded as kids coming up. Not that it’s the same but the kinda grew up feeling like stars having sycophants orbiting around them pitching offers constantly. IF thinking about the other side of the coin a person could maybe argue that Cal’s guys at 18/19 are as prepared for the rockstar life as less heralded dudes would be at 22/23 (Not saying I have an opinion ….just saying them discussing it fuels some thought)
Terrance Edwards and Chucky Hepburn are great players. But Louisville needs some muscle to stop somebody like Butler. Great season of college basketball, Louisville needs to get dirty and win
Sure Kentucky still has more to prove but let's keep things in perspective on all sides. "I'm not ready to put Kentucky in the same tier as Tennessee and Auburn." Based on? On Tennessee stunning the world with wins over Baylor and Illinois? At least Auburn has taken out Iowa State and Houston, and shown they were competitive with Duke in Cameron Indoor. It shouldn't take the blueest glasses to say let me see Tennessee's best signature win be as good as Kentucky's worst signature win before we start questioning whether UK is really up in UT's "tier."
If they are national title contender they would have blown out this team. Auburn and Iowa st too me are the teams too beat they are dominating teams right now. Need to see them against the SEC dawgs. They definitely good offensively but have questions about the defense and lack of a no.1 option at times they struggle to score
Oh cram it. It's one game. You do know they beat Duke and Gonzaga, right? And give UL some credit. They shot far better from 3 than their season avg. They could play again and UL cd shoot 21% from 3 and lose by 17 or more.
UK will not even win their conference, let alone a National Title with this team. If Louisville wasn't trying to compete with only 7 players and missing 2 guys that were starters they wouldn't have won against Louisville. TN and Ole Miss beat Louisville at home by 22 and 21. Both are better than UK.
Yeah and this same Louisville team without those 2 players only lost to Duke by 11. So with that logic you think ole miss is better than Duke? The first half of the Duke game and this one was the best Louisville has played all year. Your logic makes 0 sense. Don't forget that Louisville is a brand new team with guys who has never played together before. They will get better as the season goes on.
@@dannycollins7353 Their shots were dropping against Duke in the first half. By the 2nd half they were tired and when you are tired, because and there is nobody to replace you, your legs get weak and shots won't go in. Ole Miss played a better game against us than Duke.
Kentucky is good, but they ain't winning it all! 😂 cmon now guys. SEC play hasn't even started yet! i know that they all hate Cal but damn the amount of Kentucky Bourbon kool-aid these dudes be drinking is HILARIOUS
This Wildcats team struggles on defense. They don’t shoot consistently. Obviously, anyone of these teams can win a title. That’s why it’s called March Madness! But it would take a lot of magic for this Wildcats team cut the nets down.
Who Kentucky really beat Yet? Struggling Duke at time when they played and Over rated Gonzaga! This is December people it's February tells more what are teams made of for March! I seen this happen alot, teams hot in Nov and Dec fade away in Feb and Mar when counts the most and all this now is a distant memory! But then again there is Hope for Pope because he is a great Coach but don't give Hopes up don't happen this year because he's got good chance of getting #9 on down road but just don't see this year!
Ummm, let the numbers speak for themselves. I know you don’t want to get disappointed but there hasn’t been a Kentucky team like this in years. I’ll come back to this post and say told you so in 3 months :)
Yea this Kentucky team isn’t a top 5 and final 4 team rn. Makes sense even though they’ve already beat Duke who was a top 5 team at the time and Gonzaga who was a top 10 team at the time🙄😒 yea these guys definitely aren’t the favorite. These guys lost it on this topic. This is absolutely a championship team and dare I say better than any team in the SEC. They prove it over and over.
