Yep. A lot did. Go back and look at posts on RR's. A lot of the more sane KY fans ( I know sane KY fans is an oxymoron) know their teams strengths and weaknesses. Many seen this coming.
I can tell you this, and lot more of them thought it was possible compared to our fans when we played last week.

That’s shocking. Because I thought we would handle Vandy. I also thought UK would as well.

I thought we would win. I knew it would be close this year, tho. Vandy typically plays us pretty damn hard. Vandy ain't bad this year either.
The way they out physical 'd (and out rebounded) us for a better part of the game I knew KY would have a problem with them if they weren't shooting lights out. I for sure thought they could beat KY.
KY struggles with more physical teams ( and defense in general) and you know how hard it is to win on the road in the SEC.

It's really funny reading the posts some of their fans overreacting like a lot of ours did last week, tho.
Go over to Rupp Rafters if you're bored and you'll have a laugh.

Carr is injured and it showed up today. Doubt he is ready to go for Tuesday vs Vols.

Yeah, they have like 3 players banged up iirc. So they do have a little bit of an excuse.
Had a week off though to prepare after what they seen Vandy do to us. They should have won that game even without Carr, tho (as we should have).
Credit to Vandy tho, they legit. They for sure be dancing this March.

All three Vols And Cats SEC losses have come on the same day. That trend will end this week.

I was talking to a buddy last night and told him it's more likely we lost that KY if we had beat Auburn.
Tennessee seems to get complacent when we're on top. It's better that we lost to Auburn on the road than KY at home.

Of course that means we MUST beat UK in order to stay in the SEC race.
Two desperate teams. A home loss would be a killer.

Some bulletin board material for the team:

"ESPN doesn't seem to like Kentucky's chances of winning this game, as they only give Coach Pope's team a 77.6% chance to win the game."

Wow, if that's true. Would need to see who is making that prediction. That prediction must not include analytics

The actual SI article referenced gives KY a 22.4% chance to win. Meaning TN has a 77.6% chance to win….lost in translation, I suppose.

ESPN predicts the winner between Kentucky and Tennessee

The Kentucky Wildcats have lost two back-to-back games as the Alabama Crimson Tide won in Rupp Arena and the Wildcats lost to Vanderbilt in Nashville. As expect
www.si.com www.si.com

“ESPN doesn't seem to like Kentucky's chances of winning this game, as they only give Coach Pope's team a 22.4% chance to win the game. Kentucky will need a big shooting performance to win this basketball game, so players like Koby Brea and Jaxson Robinson will need to make a lot of big shots.”

Those odds may be even lower now. I don't see how Perry guards Zeigler.

Perry is a shooter, 100%. He isn't guarding jack. State of KY all-time scoring leader at Lyon County, though. Not sure his game translates to the SEC as much more than a spot-up shooter. Having seen him play on more than one occasion, he seems like the KY version of a rich man's Skyler McBee.
