Not overly thrilled with a possible 3rd game with Tenn, but overall that's a great bracket for us. Regional in Indy will be a home game for us if we get there.

 

[UKwizard]

Ah Troy hopefully an Alabama team we can beat this year.

This is all moot if Butler isn't good to go.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Set up Cal vs Rick. LOL

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Well that’s a pretty juicy bracket in RI

 

[Ron Mehico]

Oh that’s beautiful with Cal/Self/Pitino right there!

Rock chalk I guess. Dammit.

 

[Teriecat]

Kansas/Arkansas. Lol. Bomb? Tornado? Earthquake? Can’t pick a winner here.

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

Set up Cal vs Rick. LOL

The Cal vs. Hunter Marchunderachieveathon will be a sight to behold.

 

[Nightwish84]

The Sheriff is currently having a meltdown.

Louisville as an 8 is weird, but **** ‘em.

I doubt the committee watched any ACC games and I don't blame them.

 

[wildcatadam6]

I really do hope Ark gets one win, and then watch pitino curb stomp him.

Not looking at any other matchup for KY other than Troy. The last several early round losses has scarred the heck out of me.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Bracket seems solid to me. Now let’s go win!

Beating Troy, if it happens, will double our NCAA tournament wins spanning the last 6 years.

Bubba Cunningham oversaw what was arguably the most corrupt athletic department in history at unc (and would have been justifiably fired if that school had any integrity), so I'm sure the selection in giving unc a bid was totally fair.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

Headline: UNC gets the death penalty, and won't be able to field a team/compete in NCAA basketball for the next 7 years.

The following March: North Carolina narrowly makes the cut as one of the "LAST FOUR IN"

I don’t follow UNC sports, so don’t even know if this Cunningham cat is a good dude or a slimeball, but I enjoyed his answers to questions.

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Just an unserious moron.

 

[legalbeagle123]

We've been waiting for the Sheriff to hurl himself off a bridge for years. Is this the year he does it?

 

[wildcatadam6]

That’s the kind of bracket that, with a break or two, or with a night of hot shooting, is the kind where we can stick around for maybe a game or two longer than we should given all the headwinds this year. More time for pope to build the brand, show his style to recruits, have UK on the big stage, etc.

Im kinda excited about this. We may not be able to pull off UTx3 with us being *so* beat up, but I can see a path to an E8

 

[Vismund]

I find it remarkable that the committee punished the **** out of the top of the ACC for being a **** conference then rewarded UNC arguably the most underserved spot ever.

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

I'm not trying to come across as a downer. But I refuse to consider ANYTHING past trying to beat Troy.

Also, Drake over Missouri is easy money.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Poor Sheriff

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Playing Illinois in Milwaukee is kind of ********. Of course Wisconsin has to play BYU potentially in Denver R2 also.

Just an absolute joke of a committee yet again.

 

[gattongrad09]

Arkansas beat Troy 65-49 one good guard poor 3 pt team I mean if we dont run them we dont deserve it. 25 ranked defense team may concern but they havent seen a Kentucky. Williams/oweh should eat.

I also did not expect to really enjoy UL twitter tonight. Nice little Sunday.

Love the draw lets go.

 

[BernieSadori]

Don’t know why UL fans are upset. They get to play at Rupp and you know how successful they’ve been in that building.

Daily Double.

 

[krazykats]

Well they were the 2nd best in the ACC and just beat Clemson who is a 5 seed.

I don’t know the rest of details to compare against but that seems to be the gist of their complaint.

 

[wcc31]

They’re a mediocre team in a **** league. Those types of teams are 8-seeds.

 

[VernHatton52]

Troy has won six straight by an average of over 13 points a game. It looks like they ran through their conference tournament, winning each game by double digits. They also have the Sun Belt POY. It won't be easy, but Pope will not allow us to lose this one. In that, I'm fully confident.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Game time? Sloot?

 

[cawoodsct]

7:10

 

[cawoodsct]

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

7:10. Pretty std spot for us

 

[krazykats]

Starting with UL/Creighton and Miss St/Baylor is a helluva a start!

 

[cricket3]

2017 is the last time we didn’t play at 7:10 on CBS. I believe the only Friday game we’ve had is the Providence game in 2023 though.

 

[Hank Camacho_rivals115797]

Kevin Harlan and Dan Bonner on the call, too. I like it. Prefer Ian Eagle and Rafferty, of course, but I'll take it.

 

[cole854]

Yep....should'a been the 1 seed and playing Blackburn Prison's Cell Block 3 men's league champs at KBA.
