How many had UK picked to win the National Championship last Saturday?

Blind optism versus reality? That's fair.

And I had them losing in the Sweet 16, furthest in another bracket was the elite 8.

Listen you need to apologize for mocking everyone who saw through this a long time ago. I’m glad you finally stop being duped by a salesman, but you were definitely one who gave people hell who were concerned for this program. Why not offer up a little “I was wrong” to go along with that firing?
I'd like to see your bracket.

If you really broke down this year's "Special" team, you'd not have picked them to survive this weekend. I had them out in Rd of 32. Now I was wrong about who they'd be playing-had Texas Tech beating NC State but they were sub .500 against the field 7-8 and .500 entering the Tournament.

Speaks to the brand helping overseed them. How they were a #3 seed is baffling? Just a weaker field this year than usual? But this talk of "disappointment" is more for me about sustained mediocrity and wasting talented roster this year-more than anything specifically special about this year's team. Kentucky teams that don't win a regular season championship or SEC Tournament or at least make a run to SEC Title game don't really do much in NCAA's. The '14 team made a run to lose to UF who was #1 in country in a well played game to give us hope. The other Cal teams were championship teams entering March in some capacity--'10, '11, '12, '15, '16, '17, '18, with '19 being an outlier with run to Elite 8 in which was a strong year for SEC.

So the '20 talk from fans makes some sense seeing they won the Conference by 3 games in regular season but after that--nothing has happened but mediocrity.

Nope, not me...

I bet $10 on Duquensne to win, and UK to lose... made $381.00 >> head pick

My "heart" bracket had them going a wee bit further, but had UCon winning it all >> heart can only take so much

I was wrong, thinking Cal was best for us going forward. I no longer think that. It's time for a change.
 
Like I said before the tourney, anyone picking UK to win the championship hasn't been paying attention. Calipari doesnt care about winning a title. This team winning 6 in a row against good competition is an absurd fantasy.
 
I didn't. I definitely thought we'd make it to today. After that was iffy.

I had us picked to make the sweet sixteen in the bracket I filled out. Was hopeful for an elite 8.

I said Sweet 16> and we were playing with House Money.

The 334th best defensive team in the country looked their part.
 
I liked our half of the bracket and had us in the Elite Eight. Thought Marquette might get beat before they faced us and that we'd get through the Tech-NC State winner.
 
I picked em to lose second round. Cal is still coaching, so I didn’t think they would get far. Actually UT is only SEC team I picked to win more than two games.
 
Not me had them losing to NC state way to inconsistent and a coach that is a big time choker

Yeah for real! Hypocritical to say the least. He's been wagging his finger forever at fans who realized long ago it was time for a change. Now all of a sudden, it's okay to be on the 'Fire Cal' train because they're on board and everyone was wrong before them. To hell with this bullshit.

I sure don't want on your train.
