Gonna be weird as hell getting the bracket without Gumbel later. Don’t think Adam Zucker will hit the same.

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Didn’t expect to see a vicious dunk in the Cornell/Yale game.

 

[justa]

Looks like they are playing in a Bahamas hotel ballroom

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Florida is a problem.

Yaxel Lendeborg’s last two games in the AAC tournament:

76 minutes
53 points
33 rebounds
12 assists
6 blocks
7 steals
0 turnovers

Has been talked about as a potential transfer target and would be perfect for our system, but might be playing himself into the first round.

 

[BernieSadori]

If UK goes to Milwaukee, I will most likely go.

No matter what, I'll have fun because expectations are what they are.

Last year sucked. On a whim, I drove solo to Pittsburgh just to see Cal drop a fat WOP **** on the floor.

At least I got to talk to J. Craft and V Marrow about basketball and purple drinks

I woke up early the next morning and drove home. I was already in Columbus by the time I got a text asking to meet up.

He’s be a great Carr replacement (he’s better overall) and we could run our offense through him like Amari but it sounds like he could end up at Auburn if he doesn’t go the NBA.

Final predictions

South: auburn, Michigan st, UK, purdue

East: Duke, bama, Iowa st, maryland

Midwest: Houston, Tenn, Wisconsin, a&m

West: Florida, St. John’s, tx tech, zona

UK and Wisconsin in Milwaukee

- This may be a hot take, but if you only have 1 year to play I’m not excited about you being at UK. At least not until we have a solid base of players year in and out and just 1 player away which won’t be next season.

This is especially true for non P5 conference transfers.

- ^I hope that’s not close bracket wise. With Butler for sure playing I’d rather be a 4 in Duke’s region. If anything give us St John’s if the NCAA wants to get cute.

- It’s just one fan perspective, BUT my current boss has been a die hard IU fan his whole life and season ticket holder. Dude swears they have the most woke President/AD combo in America and there is no chance Pearl, Oats or Bears is on their radar and that IU will mess this up.

As a fan of college basketball I hate that as a healthy UK, UL and IU at the center of college ball would be awesome.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Aren’t they hiring the drake coach?

I hear where you are coming from, Krazy. I respect that take.

Counterpoint: Eff IU and U of L.

 

[legalbeagle123]

IU and UL being dogshit awful every year in all sports would be awesome to me.

Sounds like Brownell and their fans are going to like that about as much as A&M fans liked
hiring Stoops.

 

[august-west]

IU and UL being dogshit awful every year in all sports would be awesome to me.

The Beagle’s pure, unadulterated hatred of all things IU, UL, UNC, DUKE & KANSAS always amuses me.

 

[legalbeagle123]

UL 8 seed.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

8 seed and getting to play in Lexington?

UNC getting in is such ********

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Thought that 3 in Milwaukee was ours

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

UL going to lose to Creighton in front of a home crowd.

 

[Ron Mehico]

Louisville/Auburn in Lexington

 

[MrKentucky]

How in the flying **** did you get to play 60 miles from campus as an 8

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Enjoy that possible second round road game, Auburn.

 

[Vismund]

Enjoy that possible second round road game, Auburn.

How funny would it be if we just raided that game and absolutely booed the piss out of both teams?

 

[legalbeagle123]

Wisconsin with a 3, we may have been knocked down to a 4.

 

[august-west]

I just knew we were gonna be that 3 in Cleveland against BYU with Duke up top….

Looks like maybe getting punished for bad loses but possibly keeping a 3

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

3 in Milwaukee with Tenn or St. John’s as our 2

 

[SWFLwildcat06]

Yea I thought we would be the 3 in Denver.

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Wisconsin with a 3, we may have been knocked down to a 4.

I think the SEC is getting a lot of seeding respect. I feel better about a 3.

 

[gattongrad09]

How do you justify UL an 8 seed and UNC getting in.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Just send us out West. It's always the easiest bracket because of the stupid location based metrics.

 

[funKYcat75]

I miss seeing the team lazily lying on Cal’s couches, not paying attention to the show, and booking their flights out of Lexington the first moment they can.

 

[Vismund]

Couldn't ask for more.

 

[TCPUKChamps]

Welp, Houston probably the best 1 seed matchup for us currently. It's fine

 

[Ron Mehico]

Well, let’s see what happens! Anything more than sweet 16 is gravy for me, can’t see us beating UT 3 straight if it comes to chalk

 

[TriangleUKCat]

Because no one will attend anyway

 

[Vismund]

Well, let’s see what happens! Anything more than sweet 16 is gravy for me, can’t see us beating UT 3 straight if it comes to chalk

I see it quite the opposite, we are just a horrible matchup for them regardless of who is playing. For some reason Rick still hasn't figured out how to guard what we run and their team simply isn't built to keep up with us if we push.

We should have a legit shot at an Elite 8 against Houston, which I will gladly take.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

About as good as could hope for for first 2 rounds.

 

[krazykats]

Happy to not draw BYU as the 6 seed. Not an impossible path so whatever.

LFG!

 

[Kennedy_UK]

Nothing in our half of the bracket is scary. Illinois and Tennessee can be tough games, but neither are super athletic teams that are just horrible match-ups.

Let's f*cking go!
