take zona out and this is the easiest bracket UK has ever had

[caneintally]

Sucks having to play ZOna in the 2nd round as they are really a 3 seed and we are really a 4 seed but I don't mind getting the hardest game of the tourney out of the way early. I truly think Zona vs Uk is a final 4 game berth in a way. We match up amazing with UVA and cincy.

What? Lol Virginia is the best team in the country by far

Still need to see them do something in the big tourney before I will believe them.

Weren’t you running around saying people were paranoid about the selection and now your taking teams out to say it’s not that bad?

 

[FishersBlue]

Agree. Do folks expect us to play cupcakes?

 

[KY_Kid]

Davidson is the A-10 champion.

Arizona is one of the 3 most talented teams in the country and PAC 12 regular season and tournament champions.

Virginia is ranked first in the nation with 2 losses.

Cincinnati is ranked like 7th in the country.

That's brual.

 

[55wildcat]

Correct me if I’m wrong. The # 1 overall seed has the easiest 2 seed 3 seed and so on. Are they saying we are the easiest 5 seed in the tourney by putting us in the south with Ginny as the overall 1

People are being paranoid. Look at our region. Easy af minus Zona. You are going to play good teams at some point. Sure UK should of been a 4 seed but I was making fun of people saying we were a 6 seed. A 5 seed is reasonable.

 

[FishersBlue]

I laugh at our posters. Its like we should play Lipscomb every round. No Nova, No Duke, No Mich State, no UNC. Grow a pair.

"minus Zona" - but it ISN'T minus Zona.

Its all about match ups. UVA is the easiest 1 seed we could have. Cincy is a team we should beat by 20 . Miami is a joke most of the time. We just beat UT . Zona is the 1 hard game. But if we win this looks so good.

 

[caneintally]

"minus Zona" - but it ISN'T minus Zona.

So we aren't supposed to play any good teams? Zona should be 4 seed like UK but that happens to everyone. My point is minus one team it is easy. We win on Saturday and things look good.

You can’t remove teams and then claim easy af. You were hoping for a reasonable bracket to prove your point and it didn’t happen, if it had you wouldn’t lead with take out this team.

that is only true the top 4 seeds.

If you're scared, say you're scared.

 

[KentuckySir2]

Arizona is a lot like us scary and peaking at the right time and they have the best big man in the entire country

 

[FishersBlue]

People need to realize who we avoided. Not a bad draw AT ALL.

It is beyond reasonable. Agree to disagree but beyond Zona it is the best bracket I have ever seen UK have since 92. I know that doesn't fit the paranoid narrative but that is how many people feel including me. You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that as Zona is a great team. We match up amazing with the rest of the field.

 

[BlueRupp]

I'm just not too upset with this bracket like others. Wouldn't surprise me to see Buffalo knock off Zona but even if they don't I like us in a matchup with Zona.

By putting us in Boise, Idaho, they just removed the BBNfrom traveling that far. UK only got 90 tickets for the first round.

 

[KyLegacy]

This is not the easiest , get real.

 

[rgbowlds]

Not surprising, UK always has to earn
it. We will be fine, our intensity is second to none right now

exactly. UVA is the easiest ( in terms of match up ) sweet 16 game ever under cal minus the 10' tourney when we played an ivy league school I can't remember ( maybe Cornell?)

Let’s take out Virginia and it’s super easy, you were right all along

There are good teams, and then there are conference champs. Three of them in the same half bracket.

 

[LowCountryCat]

If you're scared, say you're scared.

Nah. Nothing to worry about except the refs.

Just pointing out the logical folly of his comment.

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

It's bullshit that they put us in the same region as Tennessee

They would never make duke a 4,1,5 And north Carolina a 3

 

[Ben101er]

We have no one to match up with Ayton. May have to play zone. Anyone who thinks playing the overall #1 seed in the sweet 16 will be easy is delusional. We might win, but, it wouldn't be easy.

[55wildcat]

that is only true the top 4 seeds.

So they’re saying we are the toughest 5?

 

[LowCountryCat]

Hey, I just realized if you take out all 67 other teams we are guaranteed to take home the trophy!!!

Other than the assassination, how did you like the play Mrs. Lincoln?

Bunch of scared, negative Nancy's around here. Our team is figuring things out quickly and our ceiling is high. Sure, we could lose any game but really, right now, who really wants us in their bracket?

That's dumb.

As always you are in lala land

 

[CatColumbia]

The winner of the Zona game will go to the Final Four.. Sucks that we have to have this game in the second round but at the same time, we have 10 losses.

 

[Tyblue22]

DUMBEST POST OF THE YEAR. We got the best team in the nation, and, the hottest team with the #1 overall pick in the draft in the SECOND ROUND!

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

Oh so it’s a good draw. Then absolutely 0 excuse for not making the elite 8. And I expect fishers blue to go all in on bashing our staff and players if they fail to make an elite 8 with a “good draw”

I'll believe in Virginia when I see it. As long as Tony Bennett is coaching there, I will always doubt them. Same goes for Sean Miller.
