Jeff Goodman on Field of 68 said Illinois would beat Kentucky by double digits.

Sethie Greenburg picked Illinois as well.

They all did.

That’s honestly why I’m so excited about this team!! This is likely going to be Pope’s least talented roster even next year we already have athletes coming in. To win like this with guys from Drexel and other small schools? Amazing! Wait until he starts getting athletes we’ll be able to be Bama and FL…

This ^

Goodman has been very complimentary of UK and Pope all year. Most people outside of UK fans and even several of them thought we’d lose. Illinois played great in the first round. Can’t blame him for the pick. Glad he was wrong.

I think Bilas picked UK.

Since a BUNCH of people on here didn't think we would win I'll give Goodman a pass, he HAS been very supportive of our coach this year , as for Greenburg he makes Digger look like a sage!

Oops. Nice call there Goodman. 😆

I think Barkley said that he only picked against us because we burned his bracket the last few years and that’s fair lmao

No surprise. Credit Bilas for picking UK.
