It’s a great draw no doubt.

Hopefully Yale will save us and beat both Purdue and Texas.
I think it’s huge we avoided SEC teams. Wouldn’t see Auburn or Tennessee until the title game.
We definitely have a good draw on paper, but that’s why they play the games
Once again the SEC tournament means nothing. Tennessee got screwed. Of course, Kentucky gets Murray in second round.

didnt do too bad. Switching Wisconsin for Purdue, I like that matchup for us. Otherwise, looks like I did pretty well.
I like our region. We can do this. We can make this Final Four.
It's quite doable, folks. It's out there now.
Enjoy !
Go Big Blue !

100% would rather play Murray- Oscar will dominant - San Fran has size and athleticism at rim
Always better to see how things shake out. I hope we do our thing. I wanna see Oscar and this team get somewhere. I still love them.
Not sure, but they usually put us in the prime time late game.
And TAM got bent over. Michigan in over them.
The actual four best teams (Gonzaga, Arizona, Auburn, Tennessee) and the worst matchup for us (Duke) are all in other brackets.
This is beautiful. We can still lose obviously, but we'll be more talented than every team in our region.

Indy I'm guessing is 3 hours tops from Lexington. Closer for me. According to Google, 9 hours and 40 minutes of driving to Wells Fargo Center in Philly.
Time for many of you to realize when we are told the conf tourneys don’t impact seeding it means the conf tourneys don’t impact seeding! It impacts who gets in.
Kentucky needs to play like they did mid season. If they come out like they did vs UT, Murray State will be a real challenge.
i think i still rather have that than 60% of the crowd cheering for a local team.
As long as we play at least our average game. We beat Murray easy. Play our best we blow them out. Go 2-20 from 3. Toss up game.
Texas A&M....
GOTTA WONDER why the games even matter. Beat 2 TOP 20 TEAMS in 32 hours. 23 wins total. Finishing strong with that run in the tourney. Curb stomped by the committee
Kansas got throttled by UK at the chalk house and finished as a 1 seed ahead of the Cats.
Michigan (17 wins, bounced 1st round of B10)?ND (lost to TxA&M at home, BC, FSU, bounced first round of tourney)? IU (losing record in conference, barely 20 wins total)?

Murray St 27th in Kenpom
which seems about right given their seed
For those that think the SEC finals matter see Tennessee at the 3 line
Yeah I tend to agree but it's about matchups. Baylor plays great defense if we meet.
How the hell did the small 10 get 9 teams into the tourney?
Lunardi has no explanation for why Tennessee got a 3 seed.
If Tennessee's roster was coached by Coach K and had "Duke" on their jersey, they'd be a 1 seed with their resume.

Truer words have rarely ever been spoken around here than this right here.
Beautiful. Just perfect. I almost had it laid out, only if it were Wisconsin instead of Purdue, and I think we're better off avoiding a flopping team like Wisconsin anyways. Any game with Wisconsin is worse than a trip to the dentists. Purdue will actually play a game of basketball, not basketbrawl or hockey or sumo wrestling.
Hate we got Murray State as a 7 seed, but hey, we had to get a bad part of a draw somewhere. I lobbied wayyyy back before the early reveal NOT to have Murray State in the same region as Kentucky, as I knew they would do.
lot of good it did. nobody listens to me.....
Listen to me !
lol
