(Waiting for ABH to stop in and tell us there's nothing wrong with a 4-seed and we're a bunch of pussies.)


Nope, this is a complete load of ****. I hope Cal sits our entire starting 5 next year in the conference tourney, f&*k TV and all that ****. And f*^k the fans, too. The tourneys obviously mean nothing, so why bother playing. Absolutely awful.

Utah got beat by 30 in their conference tourney, has 6 double-digit losses and got the 3 over us. Not to mention A&M. Sickening.

Even when we're a 1 seed, we still get screwed. We always have the toughest road. This year just doesn't make sense. Castiglione just said they took into account Wichita's injuries. What about ours? And how in the hell is A&M above us? It's beyond comprehension.

Vitale predicting us to the Final Four. Pretty big surprise giving his affinity for Tobacco Road.

Had a story on our site, ready to make live as soon as it was revealed, about getting a three seed. When Nova didn't get the two in East and clearly wasn't 5/6 on the seed line, the consensus here* was UK would get the other two.

I have zero idea why I'm surprised by this year after year.


*Four of the six people watching at X attended UK so probably biased a bit.

So to get to the Final Four, UK has to potentially beat the Cinderella of the tournament, a hated rival, another hated rival, and a team coached by a guy who knows Cal's tendencies inside and out.

That about right?

UK is ahead of A&M significantly in RPI, BPI, Sagari. and KenPom. lol
Better SOS as well. I'm having a hard time trying to find what metric the committee used to vote them ahead of us... I guess winning on their floor from a BS ref call sealed the deal.

Matchup wise, and I may get killed for this, UNC and IU is not bad for us. Neither are physical or play d. Our bigs give us anything and we can play with UNC. Agree with BBDK. We certainly won't be looking past the 2nd Rd at the UNC game.

F*ck it. LEGGO.

This is true, but both teams are playing good ball.

There is no "metric".

They keep the parameters intentionally vague so they can justify whatever decisions they make.

Duke, as in every year, has the easiest path they could get, considering their record.

And Cal and Huggy are both in the same bracket, as in almost every year.

Having a reeeaaaallllll hard time justifying Duke's seeding. At least TAMU beat us once and made it to their conference final. I mean their seeding is BS too but Duke?

Can't believe Coach Cal has a TV above his fireplace:

UNC worries me simply because of their length and, in particular, Johnson and Jackson. Lee and Skal would start the game with one foul each.

LSU not accepting any postseason tourney bids since they didn't make the tournament. They gotta fire Jones don't they? If they give even the slightest **** about basketball.
