I am really going out on a limb this year. My prediction for UK's SEC Record will be 17-1 with the loss being to A&M in the final game of the regular season. I think they will also lose to Louisville over there and to Kansas at home for a season record of 27-3. Last year I had them at 27-4 and they ended up losing 4 more at 23-8. I'd like to pick them to go undefeated again but might as well pick 3 losses.

I an not that impressed with what I have seen of this team thus far. Lots of individual talent but I fear lack of consistent outside shooting and lack of rebounding and shot blocking is going to be a weakness for this team. We will know a lot more about this team after they play Michigan State tomorrow night.

I can easily see our Cats losing tomorrow night. Brand new team in big venue could very well get too much Adrenalin flowing, causing unforced errors and missed open shots.

I would guess about 6 losses with one of them being tomorrow night.

I don't see this team losing to KU at Rupp. I think 2 or 3 losses would be great, but outside shooting could cost us a few too.

I think it's gonna take something dramatic for us to lose more than two games. This team is just loaded with talent - I think more talented than the platoon team. Just my opinion. This team looks scary good right now and we aren't even close to being the well-oiled machine I'm hoping to see by March. Our guards don't know how to rebound yet. Bam doesn't know how to post up yet. We're not guarding the 3-point shot well yet. And we're 3-0 with three blowout wins. The sky is the limit with this group.
Remember John Wall's first game? He hit a jumper to win the game against Miami, Oh. Trust me - the freshman this year are well ahead of where a freshman should be right now.

PaulCat, you are right on and agree that this team still has more upside and that is only going to make us a even better team by tournament time.

Like everyone else, I was really surprised that we beat MSU like we did. Did I think we could beat them? SURE, did I think we could lose to them? SURE. I didn't really know what to expect this early in the season to a usually tough/scrappy opponent.

Cal's teams are always young and talented with the ability to get better as the season progresses.

I could see us losing 3-5 games this year if we face a team that packs it in deep and we can't hit important three's on a given night.

This team is talented and deep and has a chance to be very special barring injuries. We have 3 players averaging over 15 points a game and as a team we are averaging over 46% from the field...

We might lose A couple of nonconfrense games, but the SEC is weak, and I don't think we'll lose any SEC games.

I really like this team so far. My favorite thing is the way they share the ball. I think we will lose to UNC, maybe Lousiville, and then I think we will have a stumble or two in SEC. Figure we will end up with 4 losses going into the SEC tournament. The thing I want to see is how we play against a good team that plays a tough zone against us. Will we be able to shoot it outside consistently enough to win, and will we be able to get the ball inside and will Bam be able to be that force inside that we can go to when we need a basket because we aren't hitting from outside. we have some good depth and I hope this is the year that Cal finally uses it to his advantage. Love to see these guys press and run. It could be the type of team that ends up having huge runs in the 2nd half as their depth and pressure wear teams down. I am looking forward to seeing these guys play alot this year.

I've had those same thoughts from the beginning of the season. I picked us to lose to A&M in the last SEC game because I didn't really see a game we could lose, but I had to pick one so I chose the final conference game. The same occurs with the non-conference. Between UCLA, Louisville, North Carolina and Kansas I had to pick two of them so I went with Louisville and Kansas. Louisville is an away game and even though we play Kansas at home it could be a loss. We play UCLA at home and UNC on a neutral court so I give us the edge there. When I look back on it it seems logical but I still think we have a good chance at going undefeated.

I think the guard play is better than I expected, early on this season. Can't wait until they play tougher teams.
