That’s Houston’s first loss to Cincy. They beat them twice in the regular season. I’ve long wanted to avoid Houston in comparison to the other 3s. They are very athletic, play great D, and have fantastic ball movement.
Iowa State will beat Houston. We got the weakest of the 3 seeds.

Great at home but a different story outside of their home court. Long, athletic and shoot the three well but will not have enough to beat us if we keep the turnovers down. Kelvin Sampson, although a sleaze bag, is a good coach. They beat LSU earlier in the season at Houston but haven't played that well down the stretch.

They push tempo? Or physical?

Iowa St. should have been a 3. Houston probably should be a 5/6. So that part kind of works out.

Wofford is right on the money as a 7. Seton Hall is overseeded, but we know they can get hot.

Frankly, UNC is overseeded. Can’t really complain.

yeah honestly if we couldn't get the South, this works out pretty well

Wtf are you guys complaining about? If we can't beat Wofford and Houston to get to the E8 we dont deserve it anyway. Once you get to the E8 its all game anyway.

This is a terrible bracket. Duke was just handed the most BS bracket possible. Kentucky gets no Louisville. The SEC title game doesn’t matter unless you lose. Kansas gets KC LMAO.

They know Kentucky will travel so they don’t give a sht about putting us in Louisville. They want us out, Tobacco Road in.

UK beating UNC = doesn’t matter

Duke losing twice to UNC and nearly 3 times = doesn’t matter.

Unc bearing Duke twice = matters.

Seed to seed it’s a terrible bracket.

LSU and Duke LMAO.

How anyone is dumb enough to not see it? F’n ridiculous.

Interesting they didn't care about balancing the regions this year with 1/2 seeds

1 Duke vs 6 MSU
2 Virginia vs 5 Tennessee
3 North Carolina vs 7 Kentukcy
4 Gonzaga vs 8 Michigan

What the hell ?

They talked about balance and did nothing close.

We should been swapped with Tennessee and MSU and MIchigan should been swapped.

Lol. You guys are hilarious.

Apparently we are getting a screw job if:
- we have to play Duke, or UNC, or Texas Tech, or the West Region, or any of a dozen other scenarios.

Anyone else out there want to win the National title by beating the best teams out there so there’s no question we earned it?

We got a cake walk to the Sweet Sixteen, where we might meet a tough Houston team (playing in an environment that will be overwhelming) then on to a rematch w a team we have beaten this season in the Region Final in UNC or Kansas??

I like the Cats chances to make a deep run. Make it to the final weekend and it’s anyones game. Just keep winning.

Always sad this time of year to see how scared the fans are of the field.

NC State and their 353 non conf SOS wasn't even considered in the first 4 out. Rightlfully so.

We've already beaten UNC, Kansas, Auburnx2 and will beat Seton Hall in a rematch.

We avoided Zaga, UVA, and Duke.

Plus our fans won't have to travel a million miles in the West.

I like it.

Exactly......maybe this will end the whining about the NCAA being against us......this bracket is a gift!!

Their tallest starter is 6'8" and four of their five average double figures. They shoot 41% from the three so they're definitely an up tempo team. Their leading scorer is 6'6" and averages about 14ppg. They'll be undersized against us so I fully expect them to jack up about 50 three's. They're in the same conference as Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State so it's not a bad conference at all.

lets hope we don’t get 15 different threads on the same topic, so to hopefully stop the clutter, let’s try this. I’m already bent over with lube applied for the screwing. I just hope we get a good seed so we can make a run. Our fans travel well so I’m not too worried about home cooking.

I’ll take the draw...

GBB!!!

Some of you are blind. This bracket is set up for Duke. They put all of the situations with UK having to do stupid things to get to play close. But Kansas gets KC KUST LIKE THAT.

College basketball is about to make a hard push to solidify Duke as the goat program. And everyone is just go happy about that.

F’n ridiculous.

**** I think losing yesterday actually did us a favor. I like our region!

well u know the thing is...........if we had won and gotten the 1 seed, we would have been .....in the same region we are in right now lol

Tho the added benefit would have been opening round games in Columbus

I mean not much can be said for how silly most of this is. This is the best bracket UK has had in at least 4-5 years and possibly 7-8. I mean you are welcome to your opinion but not many are going to agree with it when it is that out there.

I dunno how people can be mad as this bracket.

A UNC team we already handled on a neutral court this season.
A Houston team that's prob the weakest 3.

Avoided teams like Duke, UVA and Gonzaga

**** lol

Don't think our bracket is necessarily tough; it's just the type of teams that we could face that makes me nervous. Wofford has the guy that is going to pass JJ Reddick for most 3's in a career and Houston has several guys that can shoot the 3 well.
