Can we now stop complaining about getting difficult brackets?

[kydmb99_rivals103809]

This is about a good a draw as we could’ve gotten. No excuses. Time to get back to the final four.

 

[CB3UK]

Yep. Nothing to complain about with this bracket. And it sets up well for us out of the gate. No excuses. It's time to make a run to New Orleans

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

If we don’t make a final four, it’s on Cal

 

[docholiday51]

Best we could have gotten.

 

[liveblue92]

Murray State in the second round.

 

[Catman100]

More pressure on Cal now.

 

[Dubya C Dubya]

Only when we stop complaining about complaining.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

Murray State in the second round.

If he can’t beat Murray state, cal needs to go

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

We have had reason to complain in the past. Not this time.

 

[paul.ksr]

One thing I missed. Do we play on Thursday or Frida?

 

[numberonedad]

Of course not.

Man I don’t agree at all. Purdue is a huge matchup problem for UK in my mind. Painter vs. Cal doesn’t make me feel better. Revenge game against a UNC team who can beat anyone right now. Baylor is coming off of final fours and championships.

I just don’t think we got nearly as good of a draw as most. I would rather be Kansas 2 seed.

 

[Lempface]

Murray State in the second round.

Gotta hammer those story lines.

 

[KyCatFan1]

It's garbage that we possibly have to eliminate the only other Kentucky team to make it. They always do that. Guarantee that game will be tougher than you think if it happens.

 

[KyCatFan1]

One thing I missed. Do we play on Thursday or Frida?

Pretty sure they said Thursday. So not playing Sunday might help the earlier turnaround a little.

 

[WildcatfaninOhio]

Can we stop complaining? You must be new here!

Purdue is an absolutely awful defensive team. They are a great matchup for us

 

[WildmanWilson_rivals]

We will not beat VT or Purdue.

 

[TFCat11]

I thought the K-ST loss year ended all of the complaints (mine included)! Anyway, that bracket that year was a cakewalk compared to this one! Although this one might come in second.

 

[mc140]

2018 was a great draw. Was even better after the first round. Then Kansas st. happened..

 

[fatguy87]

Our bracket has the strongest 7 and 10 seed combination, 27th and 21st in Kenpom respectively. Other than that, not much to complain about.

UCLA appears to be a strong 4 seed, but we wouldn't play them until the Elite 8.

 

[ukfan117]

If Kentucky wins the title some of you will complain because Cal didn't win it with an 40-0.

 

[Crawfords Corner]

I think this is a fair draw. Come S16 you are generally going to be playing a pretty good team.

 

[Troy363]

If we don’t make a final four, it’s on Cal

Hogsh!t. Let it go already. SMFH

 

[Gromcat_rivals]

Purdue is an absolutely awful defensive team. They are a great matchup for us

I guess I’m looking at their big. 7’4 Edey. Oscar is going to have to get points n transition and Cal is going to stall it up to a rock fight. I don’t like the matchup.

 

[fatguy87]

2018 was a great draw. Was even better after the first round. Then Kansas st. happened..

We had a great draw in 2012.

 

[BigKari]

If we don’t make a final four, it’s on Cal

And the team…

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Has anyone complained about the bracket yet?

There's definitely past examples of Kentucky getting a bad draw/seed, where as a school like Duke gets helped. Let's not pretend this hasn't happened. Kentucky fans have a right to be skeptical of the Selection Committee, but yes, this year, we made out pretty well.

First thing I thought of too, it does look concerning on paper. But we get out and run and Edey is a plodder.

 

[KA4Prez_rivals78700]

I'd rather be facing Purdue as a 3-seed over Texas Tech or Tennessee

 

[playmorezeppelin_rivals181042]

After 2018 we are never allowed to complain about getting a bad draw ever again. Completely squandered a final four cake walk.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

One thing I missed. Do we play on Thursday or Frida?

Thursday tip times released soon

 

[hotelblue]

imo ucla will come out of that side.

 

[TortElvisII]

They have hated us for years.

 

[Catman100]

Yea I think I agree with that.

 

[GuyFromKY]

Actually very satisfied with this draw. Murray St is dangerous. Definitely cannot be overlooked. Purdue is worrisome but ultimately I think we can pull that one off.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

That bracket was only a good draw to upsets, including uk. When announced we had uva as 1 and Arizona as the 4 with Ayton damn phone lol

It was considered a tough bracket going I to tourney.

 

[kennyskywalker34]

That bracket was only a good draw to upsets, including uk. When announced we had uva as 1 and Arizona as the 4 with Antonio.

Yep. But people ignore that.

 

[bthaunert]

Purdue is an absolutely awful defensive team. They are a great matchup for us

Yep, they are 100th in KenPom. The 3rd worst among all major conference teams in the tournament.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Duke with a 2 seed is laughable.
