Refer to my posts in the Selection Sunday thread.

All I have to say is Ughhh.. that is all.

Re: South Region Discussion

I think they will still come out of it, but it is certainly tough.
Would love to see XU & UK in the elite eight.

I think Kentucky can play with anyone, but Dear God, did we get screwed. I don't like playing teams that can get unrealistically hot from the arc either.

Re: South Region Discussion

I think we can beat UNLV, after that we're done.

Re: South Region Discussion

As long as Kentucky gets passed Iowa State/UConn, I think they'll be fine. I don't think this is nearly as tough a region as people are making it out to be. Indiana is vulnerable. The 2 and 3 seeds are very tough though, but it seems like Baylor just always lets us down in the tourny. I like Kansas and Michigan State to reach the Final Four. I think I picked them to make it in all 4 of my brackets. Kentucky and Syracuse's regions could end up being pretty interesting, even though I think Syracuse has an easy bracket. But Syracuse itself has been struggling. Hopefully losing to Cinci will finally be a wake up call for them.

Group of Death.

And yet, I still think UK's coming out of it.

Re: South Region Discussion

UNLV is my pick to make a run here. Sadly Kentucky is just too good.

There are a lot of dangerous games for UK though, so I'm praying that someone nips em. This is the bracket where I will be scouring for a match-up to keep Kentucky out of my final four out of dislike rather than thinking with my head.

[ehh]

Re: South Region Discussion

We do not match up well at all with Iowa State. I'm just hoping that since most of their impressive work came at home it'll be a good sign that we'll have a slight edge on a neutral site.

Re: South Region Discussion

This is the same thing that happened to Ohio State last year. Seems like the #1 seeds are rewarded with the most difficult region.

Re: South Region Discussion

Kentucky got screwed royally. The fact that they get Jeremy Lamb and team in rnd 2, a team that beat them in rnd 3, and then a monster elite 8 game with Baylor or Duke ... what did they work all season for???

Horrible. I'm seriously so disappointed as a UK fan.

I actually don't think Duke will be a problem. I see them losing before the elite 8.

Good point; Baylor to me is the real obstacle.

Duke bothers me more, I don't think Kentucky has played a team like Duke all year, they can get hot from behind the arc so quickly. Indiana is the only team that comes to mind, and I certainly don't see a repeat of that performance again.
