The SECT will be nothing more than a Big Blue lovefest. The SEC is going to see to it that their cash cow stays in Nashville until the end. I just backed out of going after watching the game last night. No way anyone is going to get a fair shake in Nashville.
Probably won't matter much considering they are the best team, AND they'll be playing most of the tourney in front of a mostly blue crowd. I always said getting UK early in the tourney was usually the best scenario if you're going to knock them off, because you can get them before everyone else has sold off their tickets, and the crowd will be slightly less blue.
UK does get the calls though. I think the refs get caught up in the star power sometimes, and they assume that the best players are making the plays. UK has the most star power, so they end up getting the benefit on a lot of calls because the refs just assume UK's players made the play.
