| That would be a tremendous season. That being said, I think this team has a shot. |

| Right now I'm hoping we at least split Kentucky this year, make another good showing in the SEC tournament, and not be a one and done in the NCAAT. | |

| We made the tourney last year and didn't lose anyone. We have experience in what it takes to win once there. This league is about performance in the playoffs and we will easily be knocking on the door to an elite 8 showing.
You can't deny Tyler's numbers and the possiblity of this veteran team taking full advantage of it. | |

| 23-25 wins and a Sweet 16 trip sounds alright to me. Although I think this team is sort of hard to get a read on at the moment. Too many different variables. | |

| I think this team could get the school record for victories in the regular season.
They have the chance to do special things in that they are playing Kansas and Memphis non con and have the potential to enter those games undefeated. They also get to play ranked SEC teams this year (I fully expect more than UK to be ranked in the east by the time the SEC schedule starts). | |

You can't deny Tyler's numbers and the possiblity of this veteran team taking full advantage of it. | Consistency is the name of the game. Too many times last year we had off nights from behind the arc, from Tyler, etc. Tyler got a lot of attention last year and Hopson, Maze, Tatum, etc. could not hit the three when Tyler kicked it out to them. Hopson came on late in the year, but it will need to be an entire team effort if this team has aspirations of making the elite 8. | |

Last year, our guards allowed their men to score 20+ points almost every night. That's terrible for any team in any league. UT fans should be enraged if the opposing guards are averaging 10 points above their season averages again this year.
Pearl needs to be held accountable if our guards lack defensive effort this year. Improving guard play should be his primary focus all season. | |
