Prefer UCLA or St Mary's as our 6

I am a little afriad that Colorado State or UCSD or Drake will be our 11

March Madness is all about guard play, do not want Lou... Hepburn is a good guard

Ucla are a balanced team without explosive scoring guard, we should be comfortable with this kind of team.

St Marys seem like a team benefited from weak competition, should be 8-10 seed in strength...

Do not want Illinois either

Scared of mid majors at 11? Have to assume less athletic players. 11 seed power 5 teams may have as good or some better athletes than UK.

I agree on the 6 seeds. Give us one of those and then maybe the mid major 11 upsets them.

Manageable path to sweet 16.

I think these mid major teams play better than likes of Vandy, Oklahoma...

Sorry but no way I'd prefer Oklahoma n the 2nd round again over some mid major. Idc about other teams but for this year's UK team with Pope as coach I'm not afraid of these teams.

Give me St. Mary’s. Solid defensively, but should be like playing a lesser version of UT, who we beat twice.

Run good offense and we beat them. Not that anything is easy at that stage.

Not scared of Drake either. Another good team but not crazy athletic.

I’m more concerned with getting “out-athleted,” so would prefer avoiding high majors, and especially teams we’ve already seen who have studied a lot of tape on us.

Expect to see 3 Kentucky vs 6 Louisville

Would not surprise me at all, would KU be possible?

Kansas is pretty universally projected as a 7

Not a good year for that with us beat up.

Colorado State is a legit threat. I could see North Carolina sneaking in as an 11 to get matched up to UK.

UNCW and Grand Canyon are out there as well.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

The committee is like kids n a candy shop with all the matchups they can toss at UK.

UL, UCLA, BYU, Kansas UNC, etc.

I can't wait to see this board freak out tonight over it. I'm already prepared for it.

I'll wait until they announce the brackets before I start analyzing.

Hope to avoid Oklahoma, hard to beat them again, same with Louisville.
