Yeah Kentucky is championship or bust this year and they brought in a hell of a portal class to go along with a nice group of freshman recruits plus returning players. Otega Oweh is going to be a superstar this year and lead the way so I'm looking forward to it. Coach Pope is doing things the right way in this era of transfer portal and NIL so I think Kentucky is good hands for years to come.

Where do they get their funding? Season tickets and???
Kentucky is always among the leaders in the country in attendance but they also get nice contributions from alumni and just a large fanbase in general. Kentucky fans are literally everywhere I live in California and used to go to game watches at a local bar in San Francisco and it would be packed with Kentucky fans especially during March Madness.

Yes I think they are that good. They should be one of the favorites to win it all with all the talent he has this year plus the returning experience. They are in the pre season top 10 which means little but I think they're going to show that depth won't be a problem as they have one of the deepest rosters in the country.

Maybe worth a SEC Conf Championship bet?

Ken Pom ranks them #4 in the country but they're #9 in the preseason AP poll. The reason they are rated so highly this year in Ken Pom is Pope addressed the defense. They were terrible defensively last year but this year I expect them to be much better defensively which is important because they should once again be one of the best offensive teams in the country.
