Selection Sunday

That's what I said.

You said, "Had Louisville not self-imposed, Syracuse doesn't get in."

That isn't true.

What is the schedule for the games in Louisville? I thought it was Thursday and Saturday and Kansas, UCONN, Maryland, and Cal but the paper says they are playing elsewhere.

[KevinHall]

Regionals are in Louisville. Thursday and Saturday, March 24 and 26th.

[teamchemistry15]

Thanks. I thought it was the opening rounds.

Jerry Tipton ‏@JerryTipton 14s15 seconds ago Billy Kennedy said he was surprised that UK was a 4-seed. 'I thought they cold have been a 2-seed."

Ah. I misread your "would've" as wouldn't

[Joneslab]

I actually don't think they are that bad of a match up for us.

They're a terrible, godawful match-up.

The only thing about them is that they kind of wax and wane throughout games. Very inconsistent, mostly because they don't shoot the ball well. But when they do shoot the ball well they're almost unstoppable with their inside game.

The foul trouble that we'll likely have in that game is making my head hurt right now.

Of course we have to get there first. Indiana is a very tough out.

I'm still furious about our draw.

Austin Peay had 17 losses....guess they won their conference tournament

Austin Peay won their conference tournament?!

[TrueblueCATfan]

Of course they won their conference tournament.

I am not sure I even know what conference they are in....

The Govs won the OVC tourney. Mighty tough draw. If aTm coach is right, UK Is a loaded four. What several have said hits the spot...the positions were done before the big schools finished their extra income tournaments. Everything is made for tv and ratings.

Teams that really got shafted were StMary and Monmouth.

Forget what Billy Kennedy said. Look at the metrics and virtually all the peripheral numbers. Of course they're a loaded 4 relative to the other teams on that seed line.

Same as it was in 2011. That Ohio State team was much better than this North Carolina team. In fact I think you could make a case that outside UK last year that Ohio State team was the best of the last six or seven years.

So in that way they--and UNC this year--got punished just like we did. Possibly worse.

But really what it came down to was TV. The committee really wanted those UK/UNC and UK/IU games. The hypocrisy the committee runs out that they don't look at match-ups is unimaginably silly.

OVC. Only been in it 75 odd million years. They had the best chant ever when Fly Williams played for them. Get the Fly open, Let's go Peay!
