Bracket Matrix March 7th update

2 seed is a pipe dream but 3 seed is literally 3 teams away. Completely realistic goal
A lot of the individual guys have us as the 13th overall seed.
So maybe only One spot away. Beat UT, Pull for Villanova to beat Creighton, and we could have it wrapped up so long as we win a game or 2 in the SECT.
I can’t see a 2 happening at this point. But a 3 feels attainable.
Yeah I think a 2 would require a lot of improbable things to happen. It's too bad the SECTF doesn't count. Win that, along with Tenn, and we could be looking at a 2-seed. We'd add like 3-4 Quad1 wins.
Yeah, what a crock to say we can't beat them. Just decline the ncaa bid then.
I fully expect March madness and upsets galore again this season.
You guys talk about beating UT at home playing for a 1 seed like it's a walk in the park,they beat the hell out of us at our place a few weeks ago. It would undoubtedly be the best win of the season if we did it. Dilly,Reeves and Sheppard will all 3 have to be on to do it. We lose we are a 4 seed. The committee is not going to give a 5 seed in the SEC tourney a3 in theirs just not happening. We have to win Saturday to improve peruod
Kentucky beats Purdue by at least 10. Uconn and Houston are a different story.
They kind of didn't. They still allowed 90+ points. They had no answer for Dilly, we didn't have DJ for that game, Edwards was still a no-show, BigZ didn't play, Reed was still adjusting to the point.
This is NOT the same team that played them, over a month ago.
Oh and not to mention, we committed 24 fouls, 3 more than them, and they shot 26 free throws. What if they don't get that again?
I’m not expecting a win.
But we are definitely in a better position now than we were last we faced them.
They still have a lot to play for. They are at home. It’s going to be awfully tough. They are better than Auburn and Alabama and we don’t IMO match up all that well with them

Said it in another thread, I'll reiterate here: UK beats UT tomorrow. Along w/ the reasons you listed, I just get the feeling that the "psychology" of the game sets up for us to pull the upset.
I definitely think that’s the case. Win and they’re in the heart of the 2 seed battle. Lose and they’re probably a 3. I think they’d need an early ACC Tourney exit to drop to a 4.
Gonzaga has been playing like a top 15 ish team for over a month now.
But unfortunately for them and some poor 2 or 3 seed they do not have the resume to justify anything higher than a 6 seed imo. They are 3-5 in q1 and 3-1 in Q2. There are just too many teams with much better overall bodies of work. We were their first quad 1 win. The others are @#18 st mary’s and @#64 San Francisco.
Even if they beat St Mary’s again they’re likely not getting better than a 6 seed.
This is when resumes don't always reflect the true talent of a team.
Gonzaga is ranked 19th in the polls.
They are ranked 15th in Kenpom.
So the humans think they are a top 20 team. The computers also think top 20 team.
Projected............7 seed.
LOL
