But if we don’t make a sweet sixteen this season will not be looked at so fondly. The teams that will be on the 6 line we will be favored 5 points in any of those games if bracket matrix 6 seeds hold up. Everyone talks matchups St. John’s Arkansas Louisville duke etc but there is a team that jumps out based on the matrix aggregate and that’s byu. That’s a team like uk that completely rebuilt and the pope factor I can’t imagine the committee not making them our 6 seed UNLESS the Sunday factor is an issue like last season. I don’t think they put an sec team as our 2 seed but St. John’s or msu. They could put UT and play up the “it’s hard to beat a team 3x” bs. But if they go for story lines it will be St. John’s. I hope they seed based on the s curve which would give us a totally bearable msu if they make it.
Then the other scenario. Arkansas as an 11 or a play in at 11 seed of Arkansas and Oklahoma.
The bottomline is this. Forget the injuries we haven’t had Kerr hardly at all and Robinson has been out a while now. We have a complete team and based on where it appears we will be seeded not making a sweet sixteen will be a bitter end to a decent season. That is this uk fans lowered expectations. A month ago I felt elite 8 but a couple ncaa wins would be twice as many as we be had in the last 5 years. Win the first two and maybe the bracket opens up. However with our luck it will all be chalk.
