UF should prob still get a 1

But if they wanna flip flop Houston/UF depending on what Houston does today I don't mind that either. Those two teams should be overall 4th/5th and in the same bracket.

A bit alarming
You don't see Duke or Michgan or Arizona getting stomped like this.

Is only 1 game but i think says maybe they are a bit lower than those teams.
Duke should've lost to FSU. Vandy is better than FSU and shooting over 52 percent from 3. Anyone would be struggling with them right now.

This is a perfectly timed loss for Florida to get them reset for the ncaa tourney. Ala UK 1996 and 2012.
Maybe, but it's one thing to lose, and another to lose by (potentially) 20+... I don't think it bodes well for them.

Although the refs are making some late-game adjustments to try to cut into the deficit, maybe it tightens up after all.

Vandy hits two free throws to go up 22. Florida comes down and scores two to get it back to 20 with 5 mins to go. Ravech: "Florida is chipping away at this lead."

If Pope could have done his job and landed Yaxel, UK would be a totally different team.
Instead, he whiffed on everyone he went after

I mean, factor in UF has gone cold. It happens. Hell, we have NO room to talk. We got boat raced by Vandy. And then did this to them when THEY couldn't buy a bucket at Rupp.

Yeah it's just you haven't seen that all season from the other 1s.

Duke has losses of 1 and 3 points.
Arizona has losses of 3 and 4 points one in OT.
Michigan has losses of 3 and 5 points.

I'd be stunned if any of those would lose like this when they haven't all season long and all three playing very good schedules.

There is one thing about Kentucky basketball; you can still make money betting against SEC teams that beat UK their last game.

It's amazing how many times u look at all these upsets and see that as the reason why.

Three point defense tends to be a bit more random than Two point defense.

That's where u have to capitalize if u are the underdog.
It's just like days in baseball when everyone's hitting the ball and bloopers all fall in ... those days happen !!

Yaxel and Wilkerson, Yaxel and Wilson, or Wilson and Wilkerson would have made us an actual real team. Horrible misses that derailed the year for sure.

UM is going to be a force to reckon with in the NIL world. They have more money than anyone else in the public sphere.

We have to fix our NIL. Problem is good ol Mitch has gotten us into YET ANOTHER BAD CONTRACT with JMI.

If the Ivy League ever decided to relax academic restrictions to pursue basketball, with their alumni base, lookout !!

Bubble teams just got more nervous as Dayton pulls off the 70-69 win over Saint Louis. What a finish to this game.

StL was up 2 with 20 second left Dayton got their shot blocked and Dayton got the rebound and hit a 3 to go up 1 with 14 seconds left.
StL then comes down hits a 3 with 6 seconds left to go up 1
Dayton drives to the rim misses the shot but tips it in with less than 1 second left for the win.

All bubble teams will be rooting for VCU to take this tournament now.
