Can we catch Kentucky this year?

Mathematically possible with a potential 10 wins left for KU and only trailing UK, who has yet to right their ship this year, by 6 as we discuss this,

Unlikely, though. Earning all 10 of those potential KANSAS Ws would mean finishing AY2020-21 on an 11 game winning streak and winning both the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments, something we want, of course, but highly unlikely to happen. AND then there is the question of how many more games UK wins.

It does seem unlikely that UK makes any postseason except the SEC Tournament this year. UK is currently 8-14 record, and is likely to end the regular season 9-15. So barring UK winning the SEC automatic bid no NCAAT seems certain, and no postseason NIT is not unrealistic. Still, with every win UK earns, KU's "finish line" to pass UK this post-season gets pushed further down the road.

IF (and its a BIG IF) UK does not win another game this season, if (another BIG IF) KU can win any combination of 7 games the rest of the way -- which would require deep runs in both its postseason tournaments -- KANSAS could finish the postseason on top of the leader board.

But I feel like we are in that TV insurance commercial where the old fisherman (Big Insurance proxy) dangles the payoff *juuuust* out of reach of the insured -- "Ooooh, you almost got it!"

At this point my personal hopes for our KANSAS JAYHAWKS are that they just win the next game, and worry about subsequent games afterward.

Always got to have a dream, hoshi!

I found the article interesting for the same reason. And I would love for them to have another off year, followed by Calipari leaving.
