-Guardians and Deadpool are the best comic book movies. Not really interested in most of the others.

-Basically win 2 more against UGA/USC and we're going to be right on that 1/2 seed line. Both tough games but if we win the thing over those 2 + UF. Count me impressed. 5 loss UK team, 14 game W streak, SEC and SECT champs. As SAE said, how is that not a 1?

-Butchertown for dinner on Saturday night. Top notch.

-Casey coughing to death mid-coitus would be a perfectly acceptable demise for that guy.

NKU intrigues me. Not the basketball team but the school. Not sure I know anyone who went there.

- I'm with Chief. In fact, we're much closer to a 3 than a 1. I don't trust that committee any further than I can throw them.

- So which Pac10 powerhouse would you prefer in the Sweet 16? They're all scary.

- Ulis is a basketball player. You knew he was going to be successful.

- We're going to hate Gregg Marshall at Indiana. That guy is an arrogant prick and one helluva basketball coach.

- Keep reading Mark Few getting NCOY love from the media which is cool but they keep mentioning that "he basically has an entire new team!" Cal does that every year except he's not reloading with veteran transfers who spent a year in the program already.

Pretty sure the Lazy Tuesday video (RIP) was filmed at NKU...

Interesting that Ulis and his recent surge in minutes has come at the expense of Brandon Knight.

Ulis’ playing time has increased, at the expense of ex-Cat Brandon Knight, since the All-Star break as the Suns have elected to evaluate what they have in the second-round draft pick.

He has averaged 12.8 points, 6.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 turnovers in 23.5 minutes in his past four games.

“We truly have to see if Tyler Ulis can be a dominant ball-handler in the second unit,” Suns Coach Earl Watson told ArizonaSports.com last week. “To play Brandon Knight with Tyler right now makes no sense because Tyler will sometimes, if not half of the time, will end up being off of the ball. We need to see if Tyler can be that guy.”

Ulis’ strong four-game stretch was preceded by a rough outing against the Milwaukee Bucks on Feb. 26. He was 1-for-7 with two points and two assists in 14 minutes.

“He said all season he knew he would play eventually,” Watson said. “Had a tough game versus Milwaukee. Honest conversations. He took it to heart and he took it to the next level. That’s three dominant point guards in our league that he’s helped us to overcome. And it gives Bled a better chance to be Bled. It’s not a lot of pressure on Bled anymore when you have that guy … changing the game, not just defensively but also scoring points.”

-Tyler Ulis having a real impact on his team as a Rookie is pretty much the least surprising thing of all time. Damn, what a player. :)

-Have never heard of this dude Logan until this thread/FB over the weekend. Hopefully won't have to much longer, he sounds awful. People are weird.

My worst Selection Sunday moment was in 2011 when Gene Smith came on the post selection show on ESPN trying to justify why UK was a 4 seed in the most smug manner possible. *******.

I think you are giving him too much credit. I think he is just a dolt. He screwed his own team in the selection process.

Yeah, he was just dumb. Jim Nantz openly questioned the seeding of Kentucky and Florida and Smith mentioned that Florida played better than Kentucky down the stretch, which, if you took the last 10 games into account like they did back then, both teams went 8-2 in their last 10, with Kentucky going 2-0 against Florida in that span.

Honestly, the thing that has disappointed me the most in recent years is how much the committee ignores Sunday conference title games. All that really matters is if you get there. But in cases like the Big Ten and SEC last year, the outcome isn't going to shake up the actual field. Just a seed here or there, and yet they won't do that last bit of work to get it as right as they can. Screwed Michigan State, Purdue and Kentucky last year.

Highland Heights. Campbell County between Ft. Thomas and Alexandria, basically. Pretty much the intersection of 471 & 275.

Depending on traffic, around 10 minutes from downtown Cincinnati.

Used to be 100% concrete. Nice arena, though.

Hey Kentucky, as your reward for being the #1 Overall Seed, we are sending you to lovely Syracuse, NY to face off against Cornell (which is only an hour away), and WVU, which has played in the Carrier Dome a million times and is much closer to Syracuse than Lexington. Syracuse is a very lovely city in March...beautiful weather.

Just like in 2003, when we sent you to lovely Minneapolis to play Wisconsin and Marquette, which are both just a few hours away from Minnesota. The weather in March in Minneapolis is top notch. Easy drive from Lexington for the fans.

2003 was a phenomenal basketball team, and I won't let the Tubby-haters talk me off that point. It took an awful regional site assignment, an injury to our best player, and one of the best NBA players of the last 15 years giving birth to his legend, to take them down.

That year goes down with '75, '97, '10 and '15 as the ones that got away.

Now, 2004 really had no business being the #1 overall seed and was definitely ripe for an upset. But that doesn't take away from how great 2003 was.

That team played the best team defense I've seen. I remember reading where Cal showed video to his Memphis squad of Kentucky playing defense and he asked them how many players does Kentucky have on the floor because it looked like 6. So he paused it and they counted 5. Bogans being hurt threw off the entire defense. They had a legit shot anyone who says otherwise is still blinded by their Tubby hate.

The 2003 team could've won the title even without Bogans getting hurt, but I don't think it would've.

Riding a long winning streak like that into the Final Four isn't normally a recipe for cutting down the nets. Going by memory, but I don't think a team had won it all on a winning streak that long since IU in 1976.

And even though they won the SEC Tournament, they weren't playing their best ball in March. Probably peaked too early. One of the assistants (think it was Hobbs) said after the season that the team just wasn't as sharp after the regular season ended.
