Too bad it's so close to football season that I doubt any of the few Kentucky fans on here will be around


Seriously though, I thought Mizzou lost most of their team? I is wrong?

Mizzou got tons of transfers including the most overrated player in the nation in Oriakhi. That is why they're so high.

Except we all post during football season. Nice try though.

I'm not surprised by it given the uncertainty of what we have coming in. Wiltjer should be able to step in as a shooter, Harrow at the PG spot (critical spot IMO) already has a year in Cal's system, and as good as Noel could be Archie Goodwin can flat out fill it up.

And I stick by my Mizzou will be third at best behind us and either Florida/Tennessee. I think they'll have a tougher time on the road then they're anticipating. And I'm anxious to see how Oriakhi adjusts to a tighter SEC whistle. He got away with a lot of shite in the Big East that he won't with SEC officiating.

FWIW, a couple places had Florida picked to win the SEC last season because of experience and etc, so I doubt any UK fan will be mad. Results on the court have spoken for themselves.

Missouri is a lot more experienced so I can see why they might be the pick. Given UK's youth, I'm not sure I would even rank them 2.

The best part though...is that it doesn't really matter what preseason polls 4 months before the season say.

If Missouri is the best team they will need to Show It on the court.

We can evaluate this projection a little better in 6-8 months.
