This is a good thread. Interesting that KenPom is giving us so much faith. I'm going to another breakdown for the month of Feb but I think there are at least 5 games left on the upcoming schedule that we could lose. Not saying we will, just saying these are the greatest chances for a loss:
LSU
Missou
Arky
Auburn
and one unknown SEC opponent (maybe Miss State)
For some reason, I'm thinking we have a greater chance of running Oklahoma off the court ... nothing to base it on, thinking we will just beat the breaks off them.
Even if we still lose 5, we will still be a tourney team. I just don't see us going undefeated, it's just extremely challenging to do.
Right now the only two undefeated teams in the top 25 are Gonzaga and Baylor. Between the two, the Zags have the best possibility of going undefeated in the regular season because of the teams they have left to play.
Would love for them to go undefeated, but would rather them play their best ball in the tourney. But hey, if they go undefeated and have a successful tourney run they I'll take that too
