***Bracket Reveal Thread***

[Dead Cat Bounce]

Cal coming up on ESPN bracketology show.

 

[STL_Cat]

Can we earmark this year’s east region for everyone that says we get screwed every year?

 

[ck-2]

They didn’t even have Michigan as the last four in.

 

[Blue63Madison]

Wow, we got a great path. No excuses for not ending the FF drought.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Murray State is a decent team team but look at the other -7s USC, Ohio State, Michigan State. You’d rather play one of them coming out of a major conference? Not me.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

Go Big Blue !!!

 

[RoyKent]

Are we session 1 or session 2 in Indy?

 

[nssdigitalchumps]

Why did Michigan make it? I’m baffled.

 

[mc140]

This might be easier than 2018.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

We don’t have a prayer against Murray State

 

[mdlUK.1]

nine big 10 teams again? Smh

 

[J-Ryan]

How did some of those no name schools get in but no Texas a&m after they dunked all over Arkansas?

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

Notre Dames body of work was really bad...shocked they got in

same

 

[akaukswoosh]

 

[CatOfDaVille]

Where are the tinfoil hat pumpers.. wE aLwAyS gEt ScReWeD!!

Yes. I don't know how anyone can complain about our draw. The toughest teams in our region are decent matchups for us.

 

[BassProCat]

I’m glad UT got to experience what we experienced a few years ago and winning the SEC on Sunday still doesn’t mean ****.

 

[mhroe1984]

Have UK and Murray State ever played?

 

[HerrosHeroes]

I think we actually got a good draw.

Great draw best I can remember

 

[Runt#1969]

I like our draw

thank you NCAA tournament selection committee

This will most likely be the first and last time I ever thank you for the job you did in making this year's bracket. I'll eat crow now. You did a respectable job this year in my humble opinion.

The real bracket reveal closely resembles mine in the top 3 - 4 of each region, with some minor changes. FUnny how mine coincided with theirs.

 

[notFromhere]

Rece Davis and Jay Bilas just said UT should be a one seed.

They'll say anything to keep us from being one. Davis still doesn't like Cal much.

 

[akaukswoosh]

nine big 10 teams again? Smh

Sickening,

 

[mcwildcats04]

Where are the tinfoil hat pumpers.. wE aLwAyS gEt ScReWeD!!

I think this is actually the first time I've been truly happy about our draw with zero complaints. Just hope we play to our capabilities.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Anyone seen Saint Peters play I’ve never heard of them

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Are we session 1 or session 2 in Indy?

Tip times usually come out around 730 or 8.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

I really like our draw maybe having Mitch on the committee has finally paid off. This is the first year that I can remember thinking damn they didn’t screw us!

 

[hotelblue]

We don’t have a prayer against Murray State

need sf to knock them out.

 

[Yardeth]

SEC tournament didn’t save aTm.

Tennessee screwed A$M out of being in the tournament, greedy players. Cal would have let them win to get in the tournament.

 

[ScottGreene22]

Are we session 1 or session 2 in Indy?

Guessing we will be session 2

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Gotta like our draw.

We avoided the teams that matchup well against us.

Purdue is the hurdle, they have big guys, and Ivey is a wing we don’t guard. But they can be exploited defensively and that is great for us.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

I think UK got a good draw. Purdue big guys might give Oscar a little trouble. Baylor has injuries. I know the one guy is done for year.

 

[rick64]

I must have missed something but……where’s U6 playing??!!

 

[notFromhere]

Yeah I don't have a problem with it at all. They handled us in a de facto road game with us at full strength. Playing as well, if not better, than anyone in the country. Quite honestly, think they deserve it.

Handled is right. If they call the game of basketball in the tourney, things will be much different for UT than in the SECT.

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Cal coming up on ESPN bracketology show.

Has he already been on there?

 

[Kingslayer07]

Purdue is the hurdle, they have big guys, and Ivey is a wing we don’t guard. But they can be exploited defensively and that is great for us.

Good thing for us us they don't play both bigs at the same time!

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

Why did Michigan make it? I’m baffled.

Howard said he would ***** smack the conference head if they didn’t get in.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

We avoided:

Kansas revenge game for them
Duke bad matchup
Gonzaga bad matchup
Nova in Philly
Arizona bad matchup

We've been dissing Baylor all year. If we get past Purdue, we'll have our chance to prove we were better than them.

Plus, as a bonus, we don't have to play any SEC teams along the way.

 

[hotelblue]

south looks loaded to me. duke got the gift imo. #2 in the west with gonzaga.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

Michigan and Iowa St. In over TAM is a joke.

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Now there’s an irony - after 30 hours of meltdown by Rupp Rafters Kentucky probably got an easier draw than if the Cats had won the tournament.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'm hoping UCLA goes down early.
