I'm slowly losing confidence that's our Cats will go undefeated and win #9. Maybe the blowout games spoiled me at the beginning, but they don't seem to have the drive they did then. I sure hope I'm wrong Go Cats

Life must be treating you well, if that is what is staying on your mind.

As for my Big Blue biased prediction: Any team can get hot at the end of the year, but I like Kentucky's chances better than the rest.

I'm going the opposite way. I could care less about being undefeated. If they lose a game or two prior to the NCAA Tournament big deal.

I'm more confident than I was 3 weeks ago about their chances of cutting the nets down on April 6th. I think the offense is rounding into form. I have seen a lot of great things on offense the last few games that I was not seeing earlier in the year. I thought ball movement was great last night. If Booker and Aaron have a typical shooting night UK would have put up 80 points easily against a good team. I also like to see KAT finally being quick and decisive in the post. Having a consistent offensive post presence would be huge for this UK team because as of today the best offensive players are the four guards.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

I think we "all" would agree if we lose a game or even more the true goal is a National championship. The icing on the cake however would be to go undefeated and win a National Championship. [Smile]

Yes, like everyone else I would love to see us go unbeaten and win the title 40-0 would be perfect. [Wink] By the same token if we were to finish 39-1 and hang banner number 9. I won't be heart broken at all.

You could lose a lot more than one game but win the NCAA championship and it would be utopia. That's what you play for all season, "nothing" can beat the trophy at the end of the year.

Even with an 11 loss season last year, everyone pretty much forgot about the regular season losses once we got on a roll in the tourney!

CAl actually addressed the idea of people expecting perfection from this team. NOt sure if he's trying to direct some of the attention away from the players.

I think Cal is just as guilty as any fan as I'm sure he more than anyone knows how good his team could be if they play up their capabilities.

True, but he's also been around enough ball players to know that there's always room for improvement, but perfection is next to impossible!

If we just keep striving to get better everything will work out just fine. The coachs and players are working hard and will continue to do so.

I'm beginning to think that Cal hasn't fed these boys everything he wants them to eat just yet. YOu can't peak too early if you have finished growing!

If Cal does not have all of his offense and defense in by now, he is not doing his job. It is getting late in the season to be introducing new things, you want to try to perfect what you have been working on as a team since October. Surely to goodness we have all of our offense and defense in by now?????

I'm just saying there's a month left of regular season ball. He might still be adding a few minor things!
I'm not talking about re-inventing the wheel here!

This team has far to much talent not to be getting better. Hopefully we will turn it up a notch against Florida tomorrow night.

I don't care if Cal doesn't do anything new as much as getting the Cats doing the current things better. Our inside game certainly could get better and our defense hasn't been as good as it was earlier in the year either.

Yeah, we say that but sometimes teams, I'm not saying any KY teams recently , but some teams (UL) comes to mind, haven't played team ball at times. Usually you can tell by the number of assists in a game!

I think all the better teams have to average a good number of assists or they wouldn't be were they are.

Cats had 12 assists in the Florida game and Florida had 9! Assists are so important and Ulis is king of the assists for the Cats. (5) assists for Ulis in the Florida game.

Cal has done a great job getting this team to realize that teamwork is what is needed to make them a special team. We as fans are seeing a team that really cares about each other and the proof has been a undefeated record this late in the season.

I still believe it will happen. I thought it when the season began and I'm still a believer. Unless everyone goes cold shooting in the same game we will continue towards an undefeated season. I think we can only get better like the team did come tourney time last year. I also believe we will be surprised when we see who returns next year. We have at least 2 friendships on this team who love to play with one of their team mates and it could influence next years team. It could be even better next year. We'll just have to get over not being able to sign as many top freshmen as we would like to see.
