Lunardi also moved Duke up to a 3; why?? They lost to a worse (NET=67) than Ta&m
That Loss Was Costly Seeding Wise

Duke is 10th in the NET, they just don't have any bad loses , only 5 quad 1 wins out of 9 quad 1 games. Maybe they are a 3 , eye test they aren't
People IMO getting too hung up over 3 seed or 4 seed.
The bottom line is this team doesn't have the defense to compete for a national title if we are being honest here.

People don't want to admit it but there's a reason Duke will be seeded ahead of us tomorrow.
Our "resume" is better. Their efficiency numbers are better.

Agree. But the problem is, it's not Duke we're fighting now, because I think their BAD loss puts them at a 4 seed.
We're fighting Baylor, Creighton, Illini, Auburn. And Auburn losing today would be huge for us, and it would probably keep them behind us.
I think we're a 4. Cant see the NCAA doing us any favors.
All i know is I went to the NET and duke doesn't have any quad 3 or quad 4 losses ... soo what 2 loses are worse than ours to UNCW ?
See my post above. The at Arkansas and Georgia tech losses are worse from a net ranking. We have a lot better wins, especially in the Quad 1A part. Baylor is their only 1A win (#14), UK has 4 Quad 1A wins: #5 Auburn, #6 UT, #7 UNC, and #9 Bama.
Duke quad 1 wins : Baylor #14, Michigan St. #25, Pitt #41, Virginia Tech #60, NC State #68.
UK quad 1 wins : Auburn #5, UT #6, UNC #7, Bama #9, Florida #28, and Miss. State #32.
Duke gets quad 1 credits for 3 shitty wins against NON tournament, or Bubble teams simply because they was on the road. Michigan St. doesn't deserve to be in, NC State, nope, Virginia Tech, nope, Pitt, doubt it.
So a quick recap - Duke - #14,#25,#41,#60,#68 total adding all the quad 1 win teams net ranking = 208
UK - #5,#6,#7,#28,#32 = 87
Possibly ALL of Duke's quad 1 opponent wins other than Baylor, MAY not even make the tournament. HTF are they quad 1 wins when the teams may not even get in ? (They will put Michigan State in, but don't deserve it)
NOT ONE of UK's wins are in danger of missing the field. UNC will be a 1 seed, UT 2 seed, Auburn, 3 seed, Bama 4 seed.

Arkansas is 115
UNCW is 118
GT is 127
Both of dukes losses to Ark and GT were on the road.
Our loss was at home to UNCW
That's why it's a quad 3 loss for us and only quad 2 loss for them.
So no, Dukes losses are not worse than ours.
They just said they have seeded the top 6 lines maybe the Auburn wins won't matter like they never do for Kentucky in years past when we did such things like win SEC tournament games.
I wonder if they will go back and scrub the top 4 lines after today or not.
It not Kentucky has been seeded regardless of what Auburn, Illinois and others do rest of the way as far as top 4 lines go.

The contrast between “resume” and efficiency(KP which is essentially NET) will be fascinating for all the bottom 2 seeds through 4 seeds.
I expect they’ll have a moving rationale to justify whatever they do tomorrow.
I think when push comes to shove they do go more resume based because that’s more of a commitee human thing to do. Who did you beat. Of course this is already factord in the actual NET rankings lol.
BUT I’d venture to say the efficiency teams do better relatively to whatever seed they get. Efficiency matches Vegas lines pretty good. So these teams that get mis seeded end up being the ones that are favorites against better seeds
No offense, but what he does is no different than what you or me does.
Im not sure we were getting a 3 unless we had also won today.
According to NET, we where never a 3 spot and committee loves that NET
They love resumes and who you beat even moreso and UK has beaten some very good teams.
The kentucky defense is so comically bad we have no chance no matter the seed. We could upset one of the good teams thought before flaming out
I was just thinking the same thing.
Our defense won’t allow us to win six straight but this team did beat UNC who is a 1 last I checked, UT a 2. Auburn a 3 or 4 and Bama a 4.
I can’t imagine any 1 seed wants to see us on the 4 line. We won’t win six in a row but our offense any given night gives us a shot against anyone
