Nothing.
Can everyone remember this next year.

No Pitino. No Duke. No BYU. No louisville. No Arkansas.

Seems fishy to me. The Selection Committee obviously knew how well Kentucky plays in rivalry games. Didn’t want to give us the chance.
No doubt in my mind we were supposed to be in that byu set up but they had to rearrange things because of so many sec teams.
The idea we always have these crazy match-ups and tough brackets is pure paranoia by some.
After the 1st round, we could have to play 3 teams(Texas, UT, Gonzaga) we have previously played to get to the Final 4, one we've beaten twice. That is odd in this day and age.
I still remember having to beat Bama and LSU 4 times to reach the Final 4. That LSU loss is one of the MOST painful of my lifetime!!!
Kenny "Sky' Walkers last game. 😭 😭 😭

2018, 2019, 2022, and 2023 we had some insanely good draws and failed to capitalize.
I think we can make the Sweet 16 even with a hobbling team.

Ricky f’n Blanton. Odd? Maybe. Out to get UK….nope.
Convinced we stop Louisville from getting #2 if we had played anyone else that we hadn’t beaten three times already.
Made embarrassing Dale Brown in the 1994 come back game and the 86 pt half in 96 that much sweeter!!!
Never said "Out to get UK", just Odd.
Cal is no longer here, that was his Schtick.
The storyline thing was always a bunch of nonsense.
After you factor in the seed listing and the bracket rules, what I always do every year is go team by team and see where everyone got placed.
Doing this exercise you quickly realize it's not about storylines......it's just common sense why teams go where they go after applying the bracket rules.

What about OUR BIGGEST RIVAL TENNESSEE. It would have been a perfect bracket if Michigan State was our 2 and not have to beat Tenn a 3rd time.
I did laugh that the committee put Self vs. Cal in round 1.
It’s basically become an annual tradition for the BBN to try to concoct some angle upon which we can claim the committee has it in for us.
I find that paranoia streak to be the least endearing trait of our fan base.
The looney tunes theory that the NCAA set up that LSU matchup is so laughable …. yet I’ve been seeing our fans pushing it for four decades now.
That LSU team was a mere 11 seed that barely squeezed into the tourney. We were a 1 seed on the opposite side of that bracket. The odds that we’d meet in the elite 8 seemed infinitesimally small on Selection Sunday. Nobody thought LSU would get far enough to play us.
It’s funny, usually a 1 seed would consider themselves incredibly lucky to get a mere 11 seed in the Elite 8. Yet the paranoid wing of our fan base managed to twist it into a claim that it proves how the NCAA was out to screw us. LOL
Only if we had more blood flowing than in this tournament. Louisville beat the ever loving hell out of everyone they played. This tournament is insane. It’s kinda like it’s fixed or something??
