We were never gonna be a 3 seed.

I knew we were closer to a 5 than 3

No matter tho
We knew it because we know these committee's and their obvious bias year-in and year-out. The games tell a different story as UK deserves the 3 seed more than A&M and Utah although their big man is a beast. Even Seth, a Dookie, agrees.

UK under seeded...get out of here with who we lost to with injuries.

ok, champ. UK lost to UT and Auburn because of injuries. UK lost to UCLA and Ohio State because of injuries.
Name any top 4 seeds that carry their conference year in, year out yet got less protection and more road screwings from their conference throughout this season?

Bottom line is this team has been through the fire and been battle tested, had to overcome horrific officiating once again today to beat the protected "blue collar" darling, with the littlest man on the floor (non-Pat Adams variety) leading us every game, and proved that we're a top 10 team this weekend. Only a dumb **** can't see that, and if you don't then there's no real hope for your ***.



This is the 2015-16 season. UK lost to UCLA(15-17), Tennessee(15-19), Auburn(11-20)

Bottom line is it's about the entire resume. The rest of that white noise you typed is irrelevant. And yes, Pat Adams made a horrible call.

It sucks but at this point you just have to play the games. Cal will use this as motivation. There are 2 constants in life, Duke will get an easy bracket and UK gets a tough one. Looking forward to Coach Cal speaking....

Pretty clear that the committee wanted the IU and UK match up......hey everyone....it is about match ups. The Cats and Cal will be ready for the Stonybrook team....the real season begins Thursday.....lace 'em up and play! GBB!

Non-bball eggheads relying on the 'power ratings' of fellow eggheads are the cause of this annual idiotic brackets and seeding. Not just UK, the whole thing is absurd and imbalanced.

WTF are you talking about is the better question.

UK lost to UCLA, Auburn, Tennessee, and Ohio State.
not sure that is a viable argument. if we sucked as bad as you think then why did A &M lose to us? we win the tourney and they get the 3 seed. You said bad losses well AM lost to a team with bad losses. this whole selection thing is BS and they pay absolutely no attention to these games. if they did Duke would not be a 4 seed. a tem with 2 more losses than UK one of those loses to UK came in 5th in their conference but still pulled a 4 seed. Really?

You gotta learn to start thinking like the NCAA. (Corrupt, incompetent bumbling morons.)

Everyone sees Indiana and North Carolina and starts with the complete overreaction.

UK doesn't suck. They can cut the nets down. The problem is we are comparing resumes. Kentucky's resume with a few of those losses put them in about the 14-18 spot. That's a 4 seed.

It's right here for all to see.

UNC could kill us on the boards but they can't shoot from outside well as a team. Probably the type of team we don't want.

If we had just been swapped with A&M after our win (which would have totally made sense) then all would be fine.

People would have still found something to moan about.

Might be time to let a computer select field and seedings and take bias out.

I see Texas as a bigger threat than IU....Texas A&M has to play them in the second round and then Oklahoma.....glad UK avoided that

I don't fully disagree. The thing here they can point out is that it was 1-1. Now should they value a road loss over a neutral site win? Also, TAMU went 5-5 on the road to 4-7 for Kentucky. I don't believe UK should have been the 4 instead of TAMU, but when you look at how close those two teams are you can give the committee the benefit of the doubt. As far as Duke, I ignore that. They are going to get the easy draw. It's become commonplace.

Here's the real problem. People see UNC and IU and they think, CRAP, UK is gonna lose. This is a great bracket for UK. They have to get past the first 3 games. After that they have a weak lower bracket to face. WVU would be a war, but our guards are vastly better than theirs.
