The Annual NCAA Tournament Seeding Thread

Crazed- I know you are passionate and appreciate the research you do, but you have got to be the most negative individual I have ever come across. Lord I hope you are more optimistic in your daily life. 😂

You would hope the NET ranking won't be 20 if Kentucky can get three or so wins here.

This game Saturday is huge, as we all know. I thought this team would have a hard time winning it even before the disaster Tuesday night. This is a brutally tough game because of the venue and where Florida is as a team right now. Desperate teams at home on senior day hardly ever lose.

True, but what a statement it would be if UK got the win. Especially if Ashton played well in the win. Would be a huge response to the ugliness of the UT game and I think would put them right back on track.

If they lose and/or Hagans plays poorly again, oh boy....the noise is going to really increase.

I like Crazed. Don’t know why. Never met him, but sometimes we think alike 😐

I know, I was responding to Matt.

I don't doubt his passion.

It is frustrating that he manages to put a negative spin on almost everything. It's like keeping up with Kentucky sports is a chore for him. Dunno, just seems silly to me.

The manner in which Crazzed responds is merely his opinion.

I know he gets criticized for being eternally negative. Would he receive the same criticism if he were eternally positive?

Lololololol......then he becomes a sunshine pumper. Sometimes when you are so passionate about something you grab into the negatives to protect yourself from the failures. I think all of us have had tangles online with others on boards.....doesnt mean we care less or jump just as high when it comes out good. We have some folks that can be truly subjective on the goods and bad. The rest of us lean somewhere twixt the pumpers and, well...Crazed.

There's a certain kind of internet person who doesn't want to just be concerned, he needs everybody else to be concerned with him. You see this in politics and in other venues: people who sound the alarm all the time to make sure everybody is a bit on edge, maybe because they get irked when people are unnecessarily okay with the status quo.

I suspect with crazzed there's a sense of reverse psychology going on. We all do this in certain ways with stuff we care about: make sure we at least mention the bad stuff so that we don't get overly excited and get our hopes crushed later.

Overly negative opinions get people talking, and that could be part of the draw for people who consistently give overly negative opinions. We've had a bunch of posters like that over the years, and sometimes I think they sort of acknowledge the fact that sunshine pumping will not get them noticed. An overly negative take is always going to get people to jump in on you on a message board.

But a good message board poster is always going to have a balance of negative and positive, because that's the way the real world (and sports) usually works. I mean really, how bad could it be for Kentucky? We have a top 10 team in the country and are getting ready to go into the postseason. Come on. It ain't that bad.

But if you believe that Kentucky should be "the best," and/or if you're looking for a clear sign that Kentucky is going to win the national championship or whatever, there are plenty of worrying signs for you to pick at.

I was thinking he had posted here, in the past, using a different moniker and left for awhile. I guess I'm thinking of someone else.

Lunardi has Kentucky back on the 2 line after yesterday.
