Realistically, how far do you have UK in your bracket?

The turnovers have got to stop. And we must make these freethrows. If Butler can stay healthy. We can somehow make that final 4 run. But I say sweet sixteen.

Think the turnovers are a combination problem of fatigue and lineups.

I’m always terrified to pick Kentucky on my bracket. Always feels like bad luck to me.

I have two brackets.

Heart= UK national champs
Head= UK sweet 16.

Did the same don’t have the heart to ever pick against KY losing not in my DNA but to try and win some prizes I need to make 2 brackets. I think KY loses the 2nd round game against Illinois Texas Xavier. We just don’t have enough healthy horses this year.

See the poll

There are only 2 right answers: FF or NC.

Honestly, I just hope we stay healthy and play smart, confident ball. Losing at any stage will be easier to accept if we’re playing as well as our roster can.

I feel confident about the Sweet 16. As long as Butler plays. And it sounds like he will.

Then we're in the Sweet 16 playing Tennessee. That game could go either way. We can definitely win it. We swept them 2-0 in the regular season. But they're a good team and they'll be hungry to prove they can beat us.

Would love it if this could be one of those years where the bracket opens up.

I'm glad we no longer have "no in-game adjustment" Cal. But, counting on our team winning any game is a bit of a challenge. Butler has gotten injured during games several times, as well as others. We have run hot and cold sometimes on the 3 point shooting and only recently has our rebounding somewhat improved. Troy's stats on rebounding is impressive and these games can boil down to basic stats, free throw shooting, etc. Our best offense is up-tempo early shots and in the tournament you do see this tendency of more deliberate offense and with us that has increased our turn-overs.

I can't imagine us losing to Troy but who imagined the past few years? I believe we need a comfortable lead at the half and if that is maintained we will be fine. A close game will be a lot of pressure and not a sure thing.
