One of those numbers we dealt well with in the SEC and one we didn’t lol

Kinda surprising they are 98th in Kenpom. That seems kinda........high for a 14 seed LOL.

 

[LmdCat]

Clark has been smoking something!!

 

[The_Answer1313]

It’s a win win honestly. Kansas goes home and benefits us or Cal loses again and we are more justified.

I mean to me honestly it doesn't matter ........I would look at it like that.......win win.

But I think it was a bit silly the poster was questioning someone's fandom if they didn't root against Cal lol.

 

[pappy52]

HMMMMM, NORTH CAROLINA IN....LETS SEE....NORTH CAROLINA AD HEAD OF SELECTION COMMITTEE, AND ESPN OWNER AN NORTH CAROLINA ALUMNI....

 

[bbncal02]

Yeah, he social media trolls are already out defending UNC getting in. No wonder this sport is dying.

 

[Digger-Cat]

Drake over Mizz for me.

I said before our game that I wasn't sold on Mizz.. they had a fairly easy rode in the SEC, can only win at home, and this is kind of a matchup problem.

Book it.

They won at Florida didn't they?

Unless the Devil himself fields a basketball team, I will NEVER EVER root for Kansas.

 

[LmdCat]

Cal took us to four final fours and gave us a national title.

We are trying to fight with KU for the all time wins total.

If you root for KU over Cal in this game, you're putting your feelings about Cal in front of your fandom of UK IMO.

There is no way I will ever root for that fat hogg!! No pun intended!

I could never "root" really for anyone other than UK and St Johns (and my wife is a WVU fan but I don't have to worry bout that this year). lol

 

[catsfan3383]

UL going to rupp just pisses me off man, no way an 8 seed should get that favorable of a spot to play in.

Doesn’t really make a difference….we can’t play there so who cares? I hope they roll the sweaty Pearls

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Very odd they gave Montana a 14 at 157. They’re lower than 3 of the 15 seeds

i think it was a bad move against auburn, having to play ul in ky. but location probably evens out the seed as far as ul is concerned. unimpressive as their wins are, they probably deserved a better seed.

 

[catsfan3383]

Wrong. I'm in it for the all-time wins, so I have to hope KU loses as early as possible.

Everyone has their choices I guess but all time wins is least of my concerns. I hope slime bag Cal never ever wins another tournament game…..and he won’t if he actually does the stupidest thing possibly by playing Fland

 

[HenryMuto]

Mark Pope on field 68 right now

 

[The_Answer1313]

I always feel when they get down to those seeds, sometimes things tend to get weird like that.

The year St Peters beat us, they were rated 25th in defensive efficiency. Wild for a 15 seed to have that kind of number.

 

[UKAlum84]

Can Vandy Upset st marys?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Yeah, he social media trolls are already out defending UNC getting in. No wonder this sport is dying.

West Virginia fans should be pissed

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Can Vandy Upset st marys?

Is it really an upset?

 

[The_Answer1313]

West Virginia fans should be pissed

Every single person on Bracket Matrix had them In.

EVERY SINGLE ONE lol. All 111 of them.

 

[Digger-Cat]

They did by beating Mizzou AT Mizzou. Huge win. And it helped they won one game in the SECT.

Arkansas beat Missouri at home, not on the road.

 

[truebluewildcat]

One of the best draws we've had in a while.

Just looking at it and potential match ups should we advance, nothing really pops as unfair. I don't see any team that we couldn't handle if we're playing an A game.

 

[UKAlum84]

Is it really an upset?

Well, I was looking at the odds and st marys is favored, or so it looks like. Vandy could hang with em Im sure.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I bet we still have more fans in the building

It’ll be close because God knows UK fans travel better than anyone in the nation, but frankly you severely underrate both the size and passion of the Illini fan base. It’s a VERY short drive from Chicagoland, and there will be a ton of orange in Milwaukee.

That final sentence really describes a small portion of the fanbase.

 

[The_Answer1313]

I still find UL and UT playing in Lexington funny lol.

Might buy a ticket just to root against them haha.

 

[onearmedjesus]

Love that lady in the back on ESPN who keeps yelling when they mention the Cats. Go Big Blue!!!

 

[FitchandMurray29]

Maybe I’m alone, I actually think there’s a pretty decent chance that Xavier wins Wednesday and Friday

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Maybe I’m alone, I actually think there’s a pretty decent chance that Xavier wins Wednesday and Friday

I'm sure Henry can give us the skinny.

 

[The_Answer1313]

WVU was in on 111 of 111 brackets
Indiana was in on 90 of 111 brackets.

Xavier was in on 30 of 111
UNC 27 of 111.

 

[FitchandMurray29]

I'm sure Henry can give us the skinny.

Oh I’m sure he will. I did feel dumb now checking and seeing Xavier -2.5 on DK

 

[GoBigBlue1280]

Alright. Get healthy Butler. Let’s go get 9.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

I may not be huge on Jerry Palm’s bracketology but respect just how unrestrained and unapologetic he is in criticizing the UNC bracket inclusion right now on CBS sports network

 

[fatguy87]

Kinda surprising they are 98th in Kenpom. That seems kinda........high for a 14 seed LOL.

Lipscomb is 83rd and UNC Wilmington is 105th. All 14 seeds but Montana are close in strength.

 

[WhiskeyCityCat]

I like our bracket. We have an easy path to the regional championship. It sets us up well fellas.

If we play Illinois we won’t be favored by much…if any. If we play them it will not be easy.

 

[LmdCat]

Just looking at it and potential match ups should we advance, nothing really pops as unfair. I don't see any team that we couldn't handle if we're playing an A game.

I think we will play better out of conference because I don't think the refs will allow the football style that has given us trouble in conference.

 

[The_Answer1313]

Lipscomb is 83rd and UNC Wilmington is 105th. All 14 seeds but Montana are close in strength.

Hmm maybe it is normal.

The 14 seeds last year was also around those rankings I think.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

West Virginia fans should be pissed

That they didn't get in or that she married @The_Answer1313 ?

 

[fatguy87]

Hmm maybe it is normal.

The teams in that 13-14 range are largely interchangeable.

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

It’s absolutely hilarious seeing so many hoping:

The guy who left us and went to our arch enemy. Flicked off Kentucky fans. Hired hookers for high school kids and said sooo much crap about us

Beats our most recent coach who did nothing anywhere close to any of the above.

 

[LmdCat]

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to learn that Flagg's injury is worse than Duke is sharing. They might be concealing it so as not to hurt their seeding. The committed did say the status of players' injuries would be considered. This is the reason I think Cal announced Fland would be playing. Cal's history has not demonstrated that he would bring an injured player back because of the potential harm to draft status. I would not be surprised if Fland doesn't play at all.
