Curious to see what kind of bump we get after this win.

Kentucky was a 10.5-point underdog just before tipoff. The Cats had finished on the wrong side of the Vegas spread in their previous 10 games. UK had five previous games against NCAA “Quad 1” opponents — a stat to signify the toughest competition a team can face — and the Wildcats lost every one of those games, the past four by double digits. Last weekend, now-No. 4 Alabama beat Kentucky by 26 points. Three days after that, the Cats lost on their home court to South Carolina, the SEC’s worst-rated team. Tennessee was No. 2 in the NCAA’s NET ratings coming into the game. UK was 65th.

Imagine where we would be without a horrific home loss to South Carolina
That's going to be a huge anchor on us come selection Sunday. We gave ourselves a chance by beating Tennessee. But we have work to do, and anything better than maybe a 7 or 8 seed is out of reach.

Depends. 4-6 in reach unless we collapse again. Several teams with bad losses. Could be another year where three blue bloods get in around the 5-7 seed mark and no one wants to see them in their bracket.

I still don't believe it. Prob cause I didn't even know we were playing and missed it. Seriously stunned finding out on here. Hopefully we're headed in a much different direction now.
