But even with a loss on Saturday, I feel confident about a share of the title, because all of the top teams in the league will lose at least one more game. KU's remaining schedule is much more difficult. They aren't winning out after the OU game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't look like it to me (and definitely not "much," maybe "ever so slightly" because we still have to play ISU again). After Saturday our toughest games are at Baylor and at Texas, yours are at WVU and at Texas, and I don't think that game at Baylor is that scary at all. West Virginia looks to have the easiest remaining schedule, but their poor shooting and high foul rate makes them prime for a loss at any away game.

I meant factoring in the OU game, which is most likely a loss given home court advantage in the Big XII being so outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one atrocity on the original dream team (and the only member not in the hall of fame, I'll point out. Picked over the likes of Shaq and Alonzo Morning). I don't know of anyone except maybe his mother who knows he had no place on that team. it's one thing to be the last guy on the bench on an all time team, but I think they made him sit in the first row because he was so out of his league.

West Virginia looks to have the easiest remaining schedule, but their poor shooting and high foul rate makes them prime for a loss at any away game. There are only 3 remaining games on WVU's schedule that I'm comfortable putting into the 'should win' category. Those are TCU in Morgantown this Saturday, @ Oklahoma State, and TTU in Morgantown. And TTU will be tough. Other than that @ Texas (I will be in attendance!) is definitely a potential loss. They are so far the only team to beat us in Morgantown and they've been hitting their stride lately. There's real risk that the Longhorns could sweep WVU. Still have another game against OU. After the game in Norman I was pretty confident that we will beat them with home court advantage, but who knows. OU is still a great team and would not be surprised to see them win. Also have ISU coming to Morgantown, a little less scared of this one, especially if they remain sans McKay, but they aren't to be overlooked. And finally we end the season with @ Baylor (may try to go to this game as well). A team we manhandled in Morgantown, but have a 2-7 overall record against. Can't just chalk up road wins against teams that have owned you the last couple years. They have been the worst match-up for the Mountaineers since we joined the Big XII and the recent victory was sweet, but not necesarily an indication that the tables have turned. With our 7 remaining games, 7-0 is certainly possible but I am expecting something more like 5-2, with 4-3 a distinct possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhom Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Former UK player Cameron Mills had this post on his website about Tyler Ulis: Quote coaches ask for a 3:1 assist/TO ratio from their PG's, though few ever get it. For example let's look at some Assist/TO ratio's of some other great Kentucky PG's. Anthony Epps - 2.8/1 Kyle Macy - 2.4/1Travis Ford - 1.7/1Marquis Teague - 1.7/1Ryan Harrow 1.7/1Andrew Harrison - 1.7/1Wayne Turner - 1.6/1John Wall - 1.6/1Brandon Knight - 1.2/1 Currently Tyler Ulis' A/TO ratio for this season is 3.5/1 and more amazingly, if you look at the list above, his career ratio is 3.45/1. And In his last four games Tyler Ulis has 36 assists to just four turnovers. That's a laughable 9/1 ratio. That's truly ridiculous and I would have thought unattainable for more than one game let alone four. There has been a lot of talk about where Tyler ranks in greatest PG's in Kentucky's history. Well, judging from this singular stat alone he's not only the best, it's not even close. That's absolutely insane. UK's sports information department tweeted out: Quote Ulis is currently averaging 6.7 assists. No player in school history has averaged that much in a single season w/a minimum of 100 assists. Not bad for a kid who was basically the consolation prize when Emmanual Mudiay decided to play for Larry Brown. That miss may wind up being the biggest recruiting "get" of Calipari's time at UK!!!

Oh, that was entirely why there was a college student and why it was him, the "face" of college ball. In the 4:30 Duke - VA game...yeah, he travelled. Amazed they were able to hang around in that game to have a shot at the final shot...next is the grudge match on Weds at the Dean Dome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Daggum Roy has been getting crushed for not calling a time out, but I think it was the right move for his team. Push the ball, get to the rim, hope for the friendly home whistle. Just didn't work this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should make for an interesting game in a few weeks back in Cameron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
