Jerry Palm is mentally challenged

He has us a 4 seed. We are 3-0 against teams in his 1, 2 and 3 seed line. 4-0 in his top 4 lines. Great job Jerry.
Apparently these computer geeks place much MORE value on who you've lost to than who you've actually beaten, which to me is beyond ridiculous!!!

I realize that OSU and Clemson aren't very good, but WHY do our losses to them carry so much weight???!!!!

Bracket Matrix has us as a 3 seed right now. I’m not sure that being one seed line off the consensus is a big enough deal to worth calling someone out.

Either way, we’ll have plenty of opportunity left to rise or fall. The conference schedule has just started, and almost every game will be against a tournament quality team from here on out.

I'd rather play a 2 seed in the sweet 16 than a 1, it kinda does matter.
 
I will trust the people who are actually good at this. Bracketville guy had us #9 overall before the Miss State win.
Shelby has Kentucky #6 overall today
Hoops HD guy has Kentucky #7 overall today

Those are the ones I have always followed because they are the ones who know what they are doing unlike Mr Palm

The ACC sucks but Clemson, 5-1 is 2nd in the ACC and 31st in the NET and OHS is 38th, road game wise that goes up to 75th and neutral to 50 they are solid Quad 1 losses. Not great losses in my eyes, but far from bad losses.

What’s funny is that OSU and Clemson are both top 30 Kenpom

Clemson tourney quality teams I believe, now the Ohio state loss was unacceptable, but the Clemson loss was just a possession away. I believe Clemson makes the tourney for sure. Ohio State has dropped a couple they shouldn’t have based on how they played us, but the BIG is strong so they will have plenty of chances to sneak in. They also have good guards so they could win the conference tourney. They only take 15 teams too and have won it quite often.
 
Jerry Palm always has UK 1-2 seedlines lower than anyone else. He doesn't even attempt to hide his hatred for UK. I remember a few years ago he had us as an 8 and everyone else had us as a 4-5. When the actual bracket came out we were a 5 seed.

Palm is a moron but having UK as a 4 seed is not that crazy right now.

We are #13 in the NET rankings which is a.......4 seed. We are 21 in KenPom (5 seed). On Bracket Matrix we are the #2 3 seed.
 
The problem for us is very little quad 2/3 games and 6 quad 4
Yeah I hate having that many quad 4’s but in our defense, who would have guessed we would be performing as well as we are and I’m sure some of the thought process was we needed some easy wins to get our feet wet and help the team gel. It is what it is at this point. If we go into the tournament with 10-12 quad 1 wins, we are going to get a quality seed.
 
Just watched the Hoops HD seeding show and they have Kentucky as a 2 seed #7 overall and they have Houston as a 6 seed #22 overall they said this exact quote "Who has Houston beaten ?"
Meanwhile Kentucky has 4 monster wins.
