Apologies if this has been posted already.


The best thing that can happen to a high seed in the NCAA tournament is to be in Kentucky's region.

That's also could be a disadvantage. No excuse for Kentucky to lose a first round game, but if you look back the teams they played was playing above their normal self. ST. Peters made it to the Sweet 16 as a 16 seed and Oakland took a final four team to overtime the game after they beat UK. Two teams playing better than they should be. I would rather face a higher seed playing like a higher seed.

A 8-16 seeded team playing way over itself should still never beat Kentucky in the tournament. That’s when Kentucky should be KENTUCKY.

No team is immune to it but UK has only had a few over past 45 years or so. Tubby lost to an 8 or 9 at UK, hall lost a couple of bad ones in early 80s to mtsu and uab. Cal obviously with st Peter's, Oakland and I guess kstate has been the ringleader to no one's surprise.
