I think a 6 is the absolute ceiling. I also think we're out of the 8/9 discussion.

I think losses tomorrow don't really hurt you much if at all. Big wins maybe move you a few spots. I think BYU and U of L losses clear the way for the 6 seed. I guess a loss to Florida moves us ever so slightly back and maybe BYU or U of L still get the 6th seed over us?

Louisville has the H2H, and if we're both fighting for the last 6 seed, I think that matters at that point.

According to Lunardi, updated after 9:pm today , we are the 7 seed in east region with Duke as 1 and Iowa St as 2, which we could play 8n St. Louis in the second game if we beat the 10 seed like a St Clara, who played the final Of their conference.

This is already updated to account for losses by Louisville and BYU today and he has Louisville and Miami FL and BYU all ahead of us.

Lmfao at BYU being ahead of us! It’s incredible how much leeway that team has gotten ALL season! They’ve beat two quad 1 teams lmao

I don't care what our seed is, we're making a run to the Elite 8 at the very least. Mark my words. This team the last two days just has a different feel to it. S16 is a lock
You also said mark your words about convincing wins against LSU and Missouri and we could have easily lost either.

Need UNC to lose tonight. But hard to say if that matters even IF we beat Florida. Not sure it will mean anything, but I have no issue rooting against baby blue lol.

UNC about to take a loss to Clemson.

BYU lost.

Louisville lost.

There’s a bunch of folks on here trying to tone police anyone who isn’t satisfied by two games we shouldn’t have even had to play. It doesn’t appear to have helped with our seeding. Kentucky fans as a whole are looking like a group of farm pigs gladly eating their low quality slop from farmer Mitch. Lemmings, the lot of us.
They do it everytime. Beat some scrubs and act like people are crazy for having an issue with anything. We beat LSU!! #16 in the conference! Here we come Florida!!

Florida and Golden are going to curb stomp this team. Likely won’t be that close unless Florida takes their foot off the gas. Unless Kam or Chandler go crazy from 3 (Oweh would never let that happen), then this is no chance. I’m glad they got those games we’ve had enough embarrassment of this place, but no it’s not going to used used to prop up a bad season and this is a terrible season by UK standards. Honestly even winning a good game doesn’t matter, the blowouts, bad recruiting, Mark’s projected future. Nothing matters really until he’s out of that seat.

Love watching everyone debate if we’re a 5 seed or a 6 seed like holy **** . What the **** has happened to our program when getting anything below really a 2 seed used to be a major disappointment. Man the expectations for some sure have been lowered!

I mean just because people are discussing and debating the seed, doesn't mean people aren't disappointed?? Seems people's disappointments and anger have been incredibly loud and clear all season.

If we are disappointed in the season does that mean we aren't allowed to discuss it anymore?

I posted yesterday I'm all for firing Mark Pope.

But I still want us to get the best seed we can and make the best run we can make in the big dance.

Are we just supposed to have one thread about how Pope sucks, and fire Pope, and the only thing we talk about is how things are unacceptable? It's a pretty pointless message board at that point.

If you only want to talk about Pope sucks and Fire Pope--there are TONS of threads man. You don't have to read or post in this one.

You apparently aren’t allowed to talk basketball. Only allowed to bash the team and pope because the few insufferable ppl on here say so. Some ppl really treat this as life or death and never touch grass. Just like the “We didn’t practice at Bridgestone so we will lose” crowd.

Yea and I get it, they’re wondering. I’m kind of like wildcat87 though, I just couldn’t care less whether we’re whatever. I think Mark could potentially be dangerous to the program. We’re in serious droughts and if he stays 7-8 years middling around, making a few sweet 16’s and being retained finishing 4-10 in the SEC, doing just enough etc. that’ll be major droughts and this program loses a lot of prestige.

And I don’t really care what people think about that because I know what I’ve said in the past that came true so I’m not the smartest guy but in Kentucky sports I’ve found myself right a lot and it worries me. I said 2014 Cal better watch coach K, that Duke is a serious threat. I said he’s going to end up with a Hall legacy and not a goat legacy and you would have through I was a flat idiot listening to the responses. I also said Cal flipping knight off was stupid, everyone thought that was funny. Also said don’t trust Calipari he’s going to go psycho eventually here, everyone gave **** over that. Or most anyway. People thought I’d lost my mind in 2014 about coach K. But he was maneuvering to the OAD at the time and people thought he’d never take recruits over Calipari. They weren’t paying attention to his coaching staff and Calipari always craps the bed one way or the other.

So I’ve seen this before and my main concern is the program so right now I don’t like the position and really couldn’t care less if we’re a 6,7,8,9 etc. all of those are just bad seeds to me and we need a new coach. Mark cannot win here, it’ll never happen. Not to the Kentucky level.

I think we will be a 7 as of now, 6 if we win today. But that’s the ceiling.

Honestly just happy to stay out of the 8/9 games after the last few weeks.

Man, we have some miserable fans that are actually letting it bother them that others are enjoying the wins the last two games.

Extremely sad people that I’m guessing don’t have much gong on outside this message board.

Enjoy the games while you can. I know my dad is 82 and I’m cherishing all UK games with him.

Rooting hard against Miami FL and Clemson today (I know it hurts to root for Duke but Clemson likely passes us on seed line if they win vs Duke if we lose to Florida)

Also rooting against Wisconsin though I think they will be ahead of us even with a loss.

This is your rooting interest if we lose today and you still want a shot at a possible 6 seed.

What kind of seating do you guys think that we may receive? 7,8,9 personally I think we may get the seven seed and I hope that’s not wishful thinking, but I don’t think we have a shot in anything better

Wouldn’t surprise me if we were an 8. And really this team is lucky to even be in the tournament. 2 crazy comeback wins against Tennessee, and a Hail Mary pass to LSU. Lose those 3, you’re out. This team is bad.

0 chance we're an 8.
