Stop complaining about our seed

Dont give the NCAA haters what they want.
Enjoy UK being SEC Champs, winners of 5 straight, 10 of 12 and 26-8 overall.

We will take care of the NCAAs.

 

[UKEE93]

No

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Stop creating threads when this could easily be added to the threads talking about our seeding

 

[BigBlueFan1963]

I am not too worried about our seed.

Kentucky has the best backcourt in the country. I do question many of the committees picks though.

 

[LadyCaytIL]

Don't fool yourselves guys. IU is a very tough game because they can shoot the lights out and they have a better big man than what we have.

 

[fisherscat]

Agree! Someone give me the skinny on Stony Brook. How do they match up? Are we looking at another Princeton slugfest like 2011? One game at a time!

 

[wromanp7]

Are we undefeated yet?

 

[spotter34]

We have a right to complain. This is not just one single incident but a pattern over a number of years, particularly since Cal has been at UK. The aggravating thing to me is how blatantly obvious it is.

Oh it's clear cut that if UK isn't a number one, they'll get the shaft

they're a good team with good offensive versatility as far as style of play. the problem for them is our offense in the half court is better, and can play any style they want to go. they want to go fast and i think that plays into our hands. they haven't seen a guard like ulis or murray all year, and they're going to have to play that straight up. they're going to hit shots, but we're going to guard them better than they guard us. i think we'll cash in at a higher clip. uk 89-77.

I've got news for anyone complaining about seeding. We have proven we will spank that *** no matter what. I would not be shocked at all if we steam roll to a final four yet again. I'll be excited but not shocked. Our coach has proven he can beat any team anywhere. We could just as easily lose our first game, but I'm not betting on that. Stony brook will get beat. Then iu. Then unc. Then whoever else. We will beat them.

Obviously anything could happen but they lost to Albany by 12 in February and to WKU at the beginning of the year. They would have to have the game of their lives while we'd have to take them for granted but, at this time of the year, anything could happen as I said earlier. I say we win going away because Cal will have them ready.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Honestly I had us overall 13th. They had us overall 15th.

Everyone is comparing A&M.........just because they didn't seed A&M properly, doesn't mean by their measures they didn't seed us properly.

If A&M was also a 4 seed and behind us on that line, would people still be complaining?

The majority of the bracket people had us a 4 seed.

 

[caneintally]

Did the NCAA give us a bad seed? Hell yes but they gave us a good draw in terms of match ups so lets do this!

 

[jaknfo90]

They'll get it even if they are.

 

[Blueaz]

Hell no... We still get shafted even if we are #1.
The seed is not the only problem. It's the venues and the opprenent
Duke is also a 4, but has a much easier path.
IU and UK got jobbed. Fact

This is probably the best explanation I've read that sums up how I feel.

 

[jaknfo90]

They're a decent team and will be up for us, of that you can be sure. But they haven't overwhelmed and their biggest wins were in *** Hall. Neutral court, any court but their home court, and I like our odds...we're not too shabby either; the glass is half full.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Team 1-50 51-100 101-200
UK 3-2 12-3 7-3
A&M 5-1 9-6 6-1

The two extra top 50 wins along with the two less bad losses really helped them.

Thing is if we won at A&M we'd be 4-1 vs top 50 and they be 4-2.

That ref took alot more from us than just the SEC outright regular season title

And let's be honest, they didn't feel a UK win would put them over A&M so they didn't even factor Sunday's outcome

 

[jrpross_rivals]

I'm not complaining. I'm just saying they're idiots and they're wrong and I'm mad.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

This is why the committee has done a crappy job tho.

You can't just look at record.

Those two losses against Top 50.............on the road and took both teams to OT.

If we were 13, we were in Louisville. Those couple of spots make a world of difference and they're hard to justify.

Did you have IU in front of us or someone else?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Yep. I had IU 12.

At the end of the day it was just hard to justify UK a 3 seed based on the lack of top 50 wins.

Not that I don't feel UK is better than those teams but I just knew there was no way the committee was moving us on that 3 line based on history

Everyone really thinks Duke still gets a 4 seed with our Resume? Yeah, okay.

 

[uky8unc5]

Seed is mostly immaterial. It's the unfair landmines the NCAA committee REPEATEDLY throws in our path (for the self-serving purpose of $$$) that deserves our protest.

And for the record, it's only been 15 hours since we learned how they screwed us (again). Yea, I want to blow off some steam. Deal with it.

 

[Mike-D]

Spoilt seed By Roy D Mercer.

 

[Aike]

Yep. I had IU 12.

See, it's the subtle manipulations.

I don't believe we were really 15. I believe they slid us down the line and fit IU in where they did to create that matchup.

I had us as a 3 in the West, but 4 in the South would have been fine. Imo, they manipulated the bracket. I don't believe them when they say we were 15th and it just fell that way. Too cute.

 

[EvilMD]

There's no defending the selection committee in my eyes. I have a friend who is a big UNC fan. He's trying to figure out how fourth-seeded Duke got an easier draw than his top-seeded Tar Heels. I'm trying to figure out how Oregon's blowout in the Pac 10 championship earned them a number one, UNC's win in the ACC earned them a number one, but the SEC final is meaningless.

 

[jrm693]

They would have to have the game of their lives while we'd have to take them for granted but, at this time of the year, anything could happen as I said earlier. I say we win going away because Cal will have them ready.

Wish I could quote Barkley when dream team played Angola.....but Ill do my best I don't know nothing about Stony Brook but Stony Brook is in trouble.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I mean it matters. Obviously better seed = better chance

But I think it's telling that you had two people on ESPN picking us to come out of that region.

So people know.......

I'm not sure it was intentional. I think what happens is based on how the rules are, you get this.

Why are we always in WVU's bracket?

Is it because the committee likes matching up Cal and Huggins (which btw in my household is an absolute nightmare for me lol).

Nah. It's because geography. Those teams are 1) Close to each other and 2) in different conferences. Same goes with IU.

So while I don't think it's intentional, it's always more likely to happen that other match ups.

So you're telling Cal to shut up?????????????

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I'm actually surprised tho.......Duke and Cal really got seeded higher and the Big 10 teams didn't get seeded where I thought. I had IU, Purdue and Maryland all higher I think

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

IU was mis seeded. You look at the computer rankings and no way should they have been a 5.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

The thing about our seed is if they wanna give us a 4 because we lacked big wins then you can't give UNC the overall number 2 spot. They were only 5-5 vs the top 50. There were other teams with far better marks.

 

[jrpross_rivals]

Everyone really thinks Duke still gets a 4 seed with our Resume? Yeah, okay.

They get the #1 overall with our resume.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

The SEC needs to move the title game to Saturday.

I understand that means more weekday games but oh well.

Some of it's not intentional. What was intentional, completely unethical, and absolutely without integrity (and I'm beginning to think those are the main qualifications for getting on the selection committee) was leaving A&M at 3 and UK at 4 after UK won the SEC Tourney. That's an easy switch for them to make, and they chose not to. And we know exactly why. Because they are lying, utterly corrupt, hypocritical pieces sh**.
