This is about a good a draw as we could’ve gotten. No excuses. Time to get back to the final four.
Can we now stop complaining about getting difficult brackets?

Yep. Nothing to complain about with this bracket. And it sets up well for us out of the gate. No excuses. It's time to make a run to New Orleans
If we don’t make a final four, it’s on Cal
If he can’t beat Murray state, cal needs to go
We have had reason to complain in the past. Not this time.
Man I don’t agree at all. Purdue is a huge matchup problem for UK in my mind. Painter vs. Cal doesn’t make me feel better. Revenge game against a UNC team who can beat anyone right now. Baylor is coming off of final fours and championships.
I just don’t think we got nearly as good of a draw as most. I would rather be Kansas 2 seed.
It's garbage that we possibly have to eliminate the only other Kentucky team to make it. They always do that. Guarantee that game will be tougher than you think if it happens.
Pretty sure they said Thursday. So not playing Sunday might help the earlier turnaround a little.
Can we stop complaining? You must be new here!
Purdue is an absolutely awful defensive team. They are a great matchup for us
I thought the K-ST loss year ended all of the complaints (mine included)! Anyway, that bracket that year was a cakewalk compared to this one! Although this one might come in second.
I think this is a fair draw. Come S16 you are generally going to be playing a pretty good team.
Hogsh!t. Let it go already. SMFH
I guess I’m looking at their big. 7’4 Edey. Oscar is going to have to get points n transition and Cal is going to stall it up to a rock fight. I don’t like the matchup.
Has anyone complained about the bracket yet?
There's definitely past examples of Kentucky getting a bad draw/seed, where as a school like Duke gets helped. Let's not pretend this hasn't happened. Kentucky fans have a right to be skeptical of the Selection Committee, but yes, this year, we made out pretty well.

First thing I thought of too, it does look concerning on paper. But we get out and run and Edey is a plodder.
I'd rather be facing Purdue as a 3-seed over Texas Tech or Tennessee
After 2018 we are never allowed to complain about getting a bad draw ever again. Completely squandered a final four cake walk.
That bracket was only a good draw to upsets, including uk. When announced we had uva as 1 and Arizona as the 4 with Ayton damn phone lol
It was considered a tough bracket going I to tourney.

Yep, they are 100th in KenPom. The 3rd worst among all major conference teams in the tournament.
