NCAA Bracket Thread

[KYExtemper]

Honestly, that region draw makes it put up or shut up for Rick Barnes. No excuse Tennessee shouldn't be able to make noise there. But I'm sure he'll screw it up!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

UT screwed us out of a 3 in Midwest.

That bracket seems manageable for UT.

 

[Fox2monk]

Purdue got a great draw.

 

[permdaddy]

Just what we don't need

They have a kid named Jack Gohlke he was 7-14 in the semis 5-12 in the championship from 3 of the horizon

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

Midwest bracket is Charmin soft.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

St. Peter’s I’m begging you continue your miracle March bs and upset Tennessee

 

[rick64]

Seth calling it. Kansas one and done. 😆

 

[Fox2monk]

No excuses. This bracket is beautiful. We avoided UConn, Iowa State, UNC, Purdue, and Tennessee.

Exactly, we got a very good draw.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Sanford beats KU aswell

 

[sportspm]

It appears the sec tournament didn’t matter for seeding. Except maybe helped TAM

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Does Oakland have good guards?

They are 135th in offense and 185th in defense

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

This whole thing with the big cardboard tickets is corny AF, lol

Grambling has never made the NCAA tourney. Shush.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Sanford beats KU aswell

James Madison beat Wisconsin, Mcneese beats Gonzaga, and Sanford beats Kansas

 

[TheDude73]

Don't we owe Marquette a loss from the Tubby days?

Yes, Crean and Dwayne Wade. I was at that game.

 

[Lempface]

TT isn't a push over either, they have 5 avg 10+ another at 9.9 and another at 8.4. and any of em are capable of 20+.

With our D being so bad we can't just focus on one guy, any of em can light us up.

Didn't realize one of those guys is out rest of season with a knee injury, so there is that.

Florida may have gone up one spot.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

So who gets left out? Virginia making it tells me, st John’s ,Michigan st, Oklahoma, providence, and seton hall are in trouble

 

[LmdCat]

St. Peter’s I’m begging you continue your miracle March bs and upset Tennessee

It might be a good idea wish bad luck on another team considering our history, just saying.

 

[rick64]

Yes, Crean and Dwayne Wade. I was at that game.

Crean road that win for 20 years.

 

[CatPhight]

This is the best bracket Kentucky has gotten in my adult life.

Of course, the last few years put a damper on this.

2022 path was a cake walk and turned into the worst UK loss in NCAA Tourney history.

2 Kentucky

15 St. Peters
7 Murray State
3 Purdue
8 UNC

 

[the nail at the foul line]

I just realized it's going to be Alabama and North Carolina in the sweet 16. If they advance.

 

[The_Answer1313]

They are 135th in offense and 185th in defense

Good. So definitely not a St Peters situation where they were actually like near top 25 defensively despite being a 15 seed lol

 

[Fox2monk]

Oakland Players Stats, a lot of them shoot over 30% from 3

I don’t care honestly, the 360th ranked team from 3 just Cooked us. We have to play everybody tough or it won’t matter. We have been burnt a lot this year.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Good point lol, but even Jesus hates Tennessee

Yeah, the Big East got screwed by all the bubbles bursting yesterday.

The NIT tournament will be sort of fun this year as a result, though.

 

[blue cincy]

Heck I think UK in the south region is a great region. I figured we were heading to the EAST to play UCONN bracket as a 4 seed.
3 in the south. not sure about Oakland. Will start looking at them later. NC State Texas Tech is alot like a miss state, texas am type game. Uk cannot handle the big guy for NC State.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Only game that looks like we can count on to win is Oakland. Remember who is coaching (sorry).

That's not even a lead pipe lock. Remember St. Peters?

Thx for link . But fortunately we got several shooting over 40%

 

[LineSkiCat14]

I'll say this.. while the NCAA hampere UK.. this region, seed and teams around us was a big gift. Hard to say the SC has "screwed us" overall.

 

[silentsaregolden2.0]

They are 135th in offense and 185th in defense

Yikes. If we lose that one, Cal should have a For Sale sign on his lawn the next day.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Good. So definitely not a St Peters situation where they were actually like near top 25 defensively despite being a 15 seed lol

I know they have a guy who shoots nothing but 3s

 

[Mike_Edwards]

Yes, Crean and Dwayne Wade. I was at that game.

That was not a charge on Barber. Should have been an and 1.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Avoiding Houston along with Uconn what have been nice.

But it is what it is.

 

[rick64]

Oh possible Miss St vs UNCheat.

 

[Fox2monk]

If we can’t beat 2 teams like Oakland and NC State to get to the sweet 16 then Cal is cooked bottom line. Best offense in a bazillion years and he can’t do that?

 

[KYExtemper]

I'm glad the committee thinks people watching the First Four need to be subjected to Tony Bennett ball.

Michigan State as a #9?!?!? Give me a damn break!

 

[jameslee32]

8 teams from the SEC go dancing.

 

[Fox2monk]

Izzo still gets a 9 lmfao what a joke.

 

[crawfords corner]

Mich State as a #9. In because the Izzo name.
