Kentucky @ Tennessee Game Thread

[KCKUKFan]

If any of those beyond line 2 have any bearing on your day, it’s time to move on with life.

I just picture crazzed, hunched over his computer with bloodshot eyes and frizzy hair, crunching stats and comparing resumes. Talk about a waste of time.

Kentucky will be fine whether they're a 1 seed or a 2 seed. Gotta play six teams to win it. You obviously want the easiest path, but Kentucky wasn't going to get the easy path even with a 1, so...

I gotta smh.....bless his heart Williams will get POY wearing a neck brace from the whiplash he gets throwing himself around.
good grief.

He will have to change his game a lot at the next level. He's a sad role model for the younger players.

At the next level if he continues he will be curb stomped.
just me, I guess....it's a lazy way to play.

The sad thing about Williams is that he doesn't need it.

Has a great first step. Brute strong. Tremendous touch. Can play with both hands. Puts the ball on the floor a little. Has a devastating spin move.

You don't need all the flopping when you've got a game like he does.

To be fair to him, yesterday I didn't see it at all. But we put up so little resistance against him he didn't need to pull out his screen actors guild card.

Schoefield was flopping more than anyone yesterday. The one where he got a light elbow from Richards blocking out and he went flying from the paint to the sideline seats hands flailing was absolutely hilarious, I laughed out loud hard.

I agree.....IU is flat out terrible yet they stormed the court......Duke was at home against Miami of course they would win

[Joneslab]

Indiana's win actually helps Kentucky if we still have a chance for a 1.

Off topic but Coach K said Zion wouldn't be back until he is 100 % healthy. Could it be a round about way of saying he is not returning??

Not to put a damper on anybodies thoughts of a 1 seed, but I think it doesn't matter what happens the rest of the season, the NCAA will put us no higher than a 2. If we lose a couple, a 3 or 4 is possible.

I think it would be weird for him not to come back unless Duke's medical staff was keeping the severity of the injury under wraps. A knee strain isn't that big of a deal and it happens to virtually everybody who plays the game. I can't imagine him not playing in those final six games.

Of course that's pretty much what they did with Kyrie Irving and it didn't go well for Duke. (Though this is a better team.)

We'd have to lose our last two regular season games and our only conference tournament game by 40 points to get a 4.

A 3 is possible but we'd probably have to go 1-2 in those games.

A 1 will depend on both what we do and what others do obviously. Honestly we probably ruined our chances for a 1 seed with the Seton Hall and Alabama games. But I'm not sure it necessarily matters because there isn't much of a difference.

The only thing about a 2 is it opens up the possibility of being in Duke's region, but we're liable to play them anyway. Might as well face them in the Elite 8 if it has to happen.

I realize a 4 is a long shot and we would have to play horrible to sink that far, but I think the NCAA will make every angle possible to not give us a 1. With a W on Tuesday, I think we get a 2 unless we lose Tuesday and Saturday. I doubt whatever happens in the SEC will have a bearing, if we win both T & S.

[lilproUK98]

If we win out we get a one seed.
If we win the next 4 but lose SEC tourney champ game we likely still get a one seed.
If we win the next two, we get a two seed.
We won't get lower than a two unless we lose our next 3 games.

Was away camping this weekend. Glad I missed this game. Got to the truck at halftime and listened on the way back to camp. We were down like 17. I couldn't listen anymore. We need Travis back in the worst way.
