Most losses = 19 (1989)
2nd most losses = 13 (1927, 1967, 1974)
Most home losses = 7 (1923, 1967)
Most losses at Rupp Arena = 5 (1989, 2006)
Last season without 20 wins = 1990 (14-14)
Last losing season = 1989 (13-19)

UK is 6-7. We have at least 17 games remaining counting 1 in the SEC tournament. We have 8 home games remaining. We are currently 6-4 at home. Here is what UK would have to do to avoid beating or matching those records:

Most losses = go 6-11 the rest of the year (12-18)
2nd most losses = go 12-5 the rest of the year (18-12)
Most home losses = go 6-2 at home the rest of the year (12-6)
Most losses at Rupp = go 8-0 at Rupp (14-4)
Avoid losing season = go 9-8 (15-15)

Continue the 20 win streak = go 14-3 (20-10)

I don't think most people realize that this team is probably going to set some new lows for UK."
