in 2011 as a 4 seed, nobody in the country had us beating the mighty Buckeyes of Ohio state. Nor Unc in the elite 8. This team is better than the 2011 team. I too am upset about the seeding but you have to remember who our coach is and that we have the best backcourt duo in the country.

A ton of people have us beating UNC though and going on to the Final Four. We're a trendy pick right now.

we are too spoiled . An early exit is bound to happen eventually. Losing to IU or UNC has no shame so I hope our fans won't blow a gasket if it happens. Unfortunately so many people are acting like because Cal's marched us through in 2011 and 2014 that it just going to be a no brainer this year and that type of thinking leads to cut-nets type reactions

We deserved a 3 seed in 2011 too with how we finished. Anytime we're not a one seed we are given one or 2 seed's lower than what we obviously deserve. And whenever we are a 1 seed we always have by far the hardest road to the championship game of all the 1 seeds and pretty much everyone else too. And regardless of what seed we are we always have the most difficult road to the championship. And Duke, regardless of seed always has the most cake walk, easiest road to the championship no matter what. Just the nature of the NCAA and there unreal biases that are borderline criminal because of the manner in which they handle the seedlings when it comes to one particular team. And that team is Kentucky. It's not fair and it's costing the University money because we're going to get knocked out earlier than we should, if we even were going to get knocked out at all, say, if we had aTm's bracket? Had we had there bracket. The NCAA title IMO would've been likely.

Now I feel like our chances are between 1 and 3 percent. Had the NCAA done the right thing we could've easily won it all, instead they screwed us and gave us hardly zero chance. The University needs to take action of some sort against the NCAA. They need to sue the NCAA or something for pretty much taking away the special season we have had, while watching our team finally get HEALTHY and becoming one of the nations best and most dangerous teams by March, they deserved at least a chance to win it all, instead the NCAA single handily flushed our season down the toilet with these brackets. After all these kids progression and hard work they're having it taken away from them by the damn NCAA by putting us in a sweet 16 game against maybe the best team in the field, when we should be playing a 2 seed at best, if said 2 seed didn't get upset by that point.

Doesn't surprise me that the NCAA put us on murderers row against the nations best front courts in order to make the final 4. They don't want us winning it all. They know our rebounding is suspect so they put all the nations top front courts in our bracket to make sure we don't advance. See the refs in wiscy game last season? (phantom over the back call on Harrison when there wasn't a wiscy player within 10 feet from him, and the shot clock violation) Last thing NCAA wanted was UK to go undefeated. So the NCAA arranged for it to not happen, and once again, that's what they've done. They've arranged for us to have no chance at winning it all. Action must to be taken by the university and they definitely need to sue. This corruption should not be allowed to happen anymore.

Glad you got that off your chest. We'll be fine time to suck it up.
