If we get a 3 seed it seems like the only 2 choices for the 2 seed would be Mich St or St Johns


I would love the storyline of playing Pitino in the Sweet 16

This.

They will send us West as the 3 with St. John’s or Michigan St. most likely St. John’s for the Pitino vs. Pope storyline. Florida will be our 1 seed. UofL will be our 6 and Drake will be the 11.

If they lower us to a 4, then we will be sent East with Duke for the potential rematch in the Sweet Sixteen.
 
If Duke is the overall 1 seed, then would Duke be in Atlanta? They are much closer to Atlanta than Newark.

Or do they give them a choice and let them pick Newark? I’m sure they would prefer Newark especially considering they would likely face a SEC team as their 2. Better to play Bama or UT in Newark than Atlanta.

I think St John’s is more likely to be placed with Louisville. That makes for better TV than Pitino vs Pope.
 
The news releasing of BUTLER WILL PLAY IN THE TOURNEY AND HIS TEAMMATES ARE GRATEFUL news being out late last night or early this morning is to save the 3 seed. I think the committee is teetering on the KENTUCKY as a 3 or4 seed and this news came out to stop that line of thought.

What say you?
 
I like our shot if St John's is the 2 seed. (IF we can get to the 2nd weekend) no team with a 2 or 3 seed has reached the elite 8 with an above 50 adj offense(they are 64th) and a top adj defense(they are #1)
Crazy weird stat!

Everyone in the media seems to think we are a 3 seed, so I’m guessing the NCAA will seed us lower than expected. I expect a 4. A 5 wouldn’t surprise me, even though I don’t think it is justifiable in any possible way, but they could just say we were a 4 but had to be moved a seed like for some such bullshit.

So they are gonna have 2 sec teams as 1 seeds and 2 as 2 seeds and then drop UK to a 4 or 5? We beat a and m and Missouri and 1 seed Duke and 1 seed Florida.

There's no way we aren't a 3.

I will say last year most of us didn't think we would get a 3 and we did. 2 years ago many were surprised we stayed a 6 seed. Once again showing conference tourney results are almost meaningless.

They can do both. St johns as 2, UK as 3 and ul as 6. I mean I guess ul can be their 7. Idk what seeed everyone is projecting UL as.
I could see then dropping UofL to the 7 to face Pitino and UK playing BYU as the 6 seed.
 
1st round opponent going to be one of the following most likely

UNC Wilmington
Troy
Robert Morris
Montana
Grand Canyon (Don't want them)
Lipscomb (Don't want them)
 
#15 in Net (4 seed), 16 in KenPom (4 seed)

I think we are right on the edge between 3/4, won’t be surprised with either

We'll be a 3.

St. Johns is a 4 according to the NET. They'll be a 2.

Gonzaga is a 2 according to the NET. They'll be an 8/9.

Sparty is a 3 according to the NET. They'll be a 2.

It's the whole picture, and the industry is pretty much all aligned and in consensus that we are a 3.

If we aren't a 3, I'll be SHOCKED.

Now last year, EVERYONE thought we'd be a 4 seed after the loss to A&M in Nashville, and we stuck a 3 still. Committee doesn't always hate us as much as people think.
 
UK does not just have Quad 1 wins. We have the highest quality Quad 1 wins of anybody. Eight wins against the Top 15. We beat two #1 seeds. We swept two games against a #2 seed. We won on the road against Texas A&M and Missouri.

We get a #3.
 
Lunardi as of today still had us as the # 11 team in ncaa so I believe a 3 seed

We didn't beat a and m on the road.

I agree otherwise.

Do not think committee has bad ill toward us recently

22, 23, 24 we all got potential best seed and good draws...

I feel like we were a 3 seed, and we woulda kept it if we managed to beat alabama.....

I voted 4th seed.

Just because of our lack of depth right now and reliance on injured/slight injured players to keep us going.

No, 22, 23, 24 we all got "higher seed" despite the garbage sect results...

Sect does not matter at all
