The two things Vandy has done well here

1) Created turnovers to somewhat mitigate the advantage UF has with the rebounding
2) Shooting it extremely well.

Yeah, everyone is gonna crap on UF now, but they're still a VERY good team. Again, I bring up we beat the hell out of KU the year they won it all.
Good teams lose. Doesn't mean they won't make a run.
I still say we got screwed that year we won by 19 in Kansas we should got their #1 seed and they should got our #2 and they could have played Saint Peter's. Who knows how that tournament plays out if that was the case.

I am still so bitter over that because it changed everything for Kentucky from losing that 1st round game with one of our best teams in the past 5 years and starting the ticking time bomb that was Cal leaving.

Yesterday we should have beat Florida as bad as they were shooting the basketball. We left them wide open and they couldn’t make it. Shot 15 percent from 3 point range. Any good SEC team would have beat Florida yesterday
We coulda, shoulda, woulda if we had the same quality of players as Vandy. I have not seen one Vandy player look lazy or uninterested today. I wish I could same the same for our kids. Our kids do not fear Pope putting thir butts on the pine.

Vandy doesn't play for moral victories. They are playing to win.

Arkansas will screw around and make the Ole Miss game interesting.

Idk who I'd take in an Arkansas vs vandy game tomorrow. If cal wins this board will lose its mind though. So go vandy.
I would be sick for real.

That St Peters team was wild. Coming into that game being in the top 25 in adjusted defensive efficiency.........you usually don't see that from a 15 seed. Was def crazy.

The chair this morning said that 3 of the #1 seeds were basically locked up and that 3 other teams were in the mix for that 4th #1

This is what I find just wild about even having a committee.

They get these things wrong and then u have scenarios where say the 3 seed is favored over a 1 seed.

Or.....Cal could've actually coached well and stopped them. We were up 6 or 7 with like 5 to go. Another in a long line of Cal choke jobs.

It sure looks like Lee for Florida carries the ball every time. Not just a borderline carry either.

Florida 🗑️ in Nashville and as bad as they played yesterday and today, it may not be an anomaly at all. And none of it reflects good on the state of the Kentucky basketball program. Florida should slide to the last 2 seed.

Vandy is a much better coached team with similar talent as us. Good but not great. Great coaching can get a good team to play great!

We should have won yesterday. I can’t believe how bad we are FR. They played awful and we still didn’t come close.
Yet we're talking **** about them. We never learn.

We don't deserve to talk crap about ANYONE for a long while (UofL and EweTee are always excluded to this rule. Why? Because eff em...thats why. lol)

Vandy has an all SEC point guard who was a four star recruit but he not only handles the ball but can also shoot. That makes a huge difference.

How about maybe just rebound?
UF is outrebounding Vandy right now. Vandy is on fire from 3 (50%( and shooting over 52 percent from the field. Hard to beat that. Vandy would beat anyone shooting like this today.

Yeah but ........I mean even look at this Vandy UF game.

Chinyulu is basically the UF Oscar.

We were never going to be close in rebounding with that team.

But we did come into that game shooting well from 3 in SEC play and UF is...........324th in 3 point shooting and they basically even with us there.
