I think UT wins at least 4 games and I think 2 of those wins are at Arkansas and Kentucky here.

I'd be perfectly fine with 3-3 and extactic with anything better than that. A win over TX A&M and or Kentucky would be extremely telling about how far this team has come and its potential.

At Bama, and as of today it’s 0.5pt underdog, so just about a pick em’

I would be curious how KP’s numbers stack up with these

Okay, here is what KenPom thinks will happen:

First, I've tried to cut paste directly from KenPom but no luck. Screenshots might work but I'm pretty clumsy with those, so I'll just summarize. He thinks we lose at Arkansas and win all of the remaining five games. Auburn, Kentucky, and Vandy carry win probabilities greater than 60% so I take those at face value. Texas A&M and Missouri carry win probabilities so small that I see them as toss ups.

What I didn't get a chance to say in the previous post is that my eyeballs tell me that we have a good shot at Arkansas IF we can slow their tempo down and in essence make them play our game. Second, Texas A&M sure seems to be for real but still I like our chances at home, but it will be a battle for sure. Missouri, in my opinion is just not that good and we have an ace in the hole as Cuonzo coaches them and Rick Barnes coaches our guys. We win, and it's not close, imo.

4-2.

And MO -3 vs UT - seriously? Illinois took them apart at Columbia. Whoever picked that line must think we're still on course to be 13th in the SEC. I bet we're favored by Vegas.

Not to pick nits, as I agree that we probably shouldn’t be dogs versus Missouri, but the game against Illinois was actually their annual Bragging Rights matchup in St. Louis.

I am hoping 5 and 1 with the only loss to Kentucky but realistically 4-2 with a tossup against Texas A&M.

After watching Arky play Bakersfield, they're not as much a lock for the W as i thought, but 4-2 with Ls to Arky and TAM.

Honestly, after watching the piggies against Bakersfield last night, I just don't see us losing Saturday. Sure Arkansas can score points by the bushel against teams that can't defend against Arkansas's size, but against equal size and strength I wonder how they'll do? Also I don't think they've dealt with a defense like ours with multiple guards that presses and are aggressive for 40 minutes.

It will be a tough game, but I think we'll get the W and be off and running. I can't wait for Saturday to get here!

Most of the statistical projections have us favored in at least 4 of the 6. KenPom has us favored in 5. But all of them except matchup zone have us going 3-3. They have us at 4-2

On an individual game basis, but the cumulative win probability over those 6 games is 3.4 wins.

I think Arkansas, Auburn, and UK will be closer than expected. I like our chances against the hogs but will be tough to beat a veteran team on the road. Still expect a chance to win it late. I can see a little let down against Auburn and they have the ability to take advantage. I think it’s closer than expected but we still win. Kentucky will be tough. Need a good game from Schofield and for him to stay out of foul trouble. KenPom gives us the same odds against vandy as Uk, but I don’t think it’s that close. Tamu is considered a tossup, and again will be a very tough game. I think we beat Missouri even though most of the stats say we’re underdogs.

I actually want to chance my vote to 4 wins. Auburn/UK/Vandy/Missouri. I think we lose a very close one to Arkansas and also lose at home to TAMU

Yeah it seems like we struggle in our first game after having a week off, the Houston loss came after Thanksgiving break. Not sure what the deal was in the first half, but we did end up winning by 27.

I think we’re a better coached team than UK. I like our chances but not at Rupp as usual.
