Love our bracket

[sosoblue]

We should make it to the final-four without question!

 

[JST390-2]

HECK YEAH !!!

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

I got no complaints

 

[Snarks]

Would have rather had Auburns road, but can’t complain.

 

[UKUGA]

It’s a great draw.

The other side of the bracket is tough - and we only have to play one of them.

 

[ukwazoo]

Pretty good draw

 

[Cat in ga]

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but I do too

 

[Wildcats1st]

Yeah it’s wide open for us. Purdue with no defense is the type of team we should thrive against. If cal can’t walk into the EE and get us to a ff he should go nothing stopping us

 

[Ron Mehico]

Not terrible

 

[ChicagoCat90]

No excuses from here on out. UK controls their own destiny now.

 

[ukcatz12]

Murray St. scares me a bit but if we beat them I'd feel good about a Final Four run. Would like to avoid Purdue if possible, Ivey and Edey could give us fits.

 

[JST390-2]

Both announcers saying UK all the way …gotta watch myself though lol

 

[travisbickle_rivals252984]

Probably just about the best case scenario.

 

[Snarks]

Baylor actually got a tougher road then we did.

 

[drew_ukfan_rivals]

I’ll take playing Murray over playing USC lol

 

[Bigblue2023]

I’m not high in UK at the moment, but they got a great draw for the first time in a very long time. We’ll see if they can pick it up

 

[Snarks]

Murray St. scares me a bit but if we beat them I'd feel good about a Final Four run. Would like to avoid Purdue if possible, Ivey and Edey could give us fits.

If we can’t beat Murray State then we never stood a chance.

 

[littlecreek]

It’s in their hands, just gotta take care of business

 

[GoNoles111]

Would have rather had Auburns road, but can’t complain.

Dude no freaking way I'd rather have to go through USC, Wisconsin and Kansas. Give me our bracket all day

 

[RexShepcat]

Purdue’s size could be an issue if and when we both get there.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Are their any elite defensive teams on our side of the bracket?

 

[MadaboutBlue]

Maybe the best draw in the Calipari era!

 

[JST390-2]

Are there any top 20 defenses in our bracket lol

 

[4UK]

If we can’t beat Murray State then we never stood a chance.

I agree with this 100 percent. But I hate that they did this. A lot of UK fans root for Murray as well and vice versa.

 

[BigKari]

Same. I know Murray will be keyed up to play UK, but on paper we waltz to the Sweet 16. Purdue worries me more than Baylor for sure. That’s a very tough Sweet 16 matchup and could go either way.

 

[BBNinSC_rivals62411]

When do we get the game times?

 

[travisbickle_rivals252984]

I’ll take playing Murray over playing USC lol

Agreed. I know the idea is that Murray is going to be super motivated to play UK, but IMO that plays against teams often. Too much self-imposed pressure.

If that is the second round matchup it will probably be close for the first two thirds or 3/4 and UK will pull away.

 

[LowCountryCat]

We should make it to the final-four without question!

It’s a nice draw if we are playing well. Lately we have not been playing well at all.

 

[cats#1again]

If we can’t beat Murray State then we never stood a chance.

That's true, however Murray will be up for that game a little more than normal

 

[travisbickle_rivals252984]

When do we get the game times?

Seems like they usually come out later tonight but maybe I’m wrong and it’s tomorrow.

Purdue is not good defensively we wanted them as the 3

 

[BBNinSC_rivals62411]

I hate the second round match-up. Murray State is my second favorite team in the field.

 

[TomTraubertsBlues]

Agree but draws can be tricky. In 2014, we had the mother of all draws, and were playing horribly, but got to title game.

 

[HalHR2500]

Same. I know Murray will be keyed up to play UK, but on paper we waltz to the Sweet 16. Purdue worries me more than Baylor for sure. That’s a very tough Sweet 16 matchup and could go either way.

There’s no guarantee Murray State beats San Francisco

 

[The_Catfather]

San Francisco played Gonzaga pretty tough last week. There's no guarantee Murray beats them.

 

[BigKari]

There’s no guarantee Murray State beats San Francisco

Nothing is guaranteed in March. Just ask Virginia.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Purdue’s size inside is worrisome.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if neither team gets to the SS.

Murray St. vs. Virginia Tech is a very real possibility. Both teams are extremely hot and present tough matchups.

 

[Bluespade44]

Maybe the best draw in the Calipari era!

And he will screw it up. Watch

 

[Wildcats1st]

Cal coming up on ESPN

 

[DaDirtyLeb69]

Good bracket overall Purdue’s size and length is a issue but edey can’t run and Purdue doesn’t really guard anybody
