Don't worry, everyone knows its unofficially Duke vs Nova for the championship. Congrats on the final four/natty.

Quickest 5 page thread ever?This is an awesome thread! RollLaugh
Uk brings the best out in folks.
Too far ahead my man.Can you imagine if UK were somehow able to hoist the trophy?!
Sweet 16 has caused quite the meltdown though.
Threads like these makes it easy to tell who it bothers the most.
This place would be more mad than last year’s championship.
For God's sake, UK was long overdue to catch a break with the bracket opening up. It seems like it rarely happens for us so like I said, We were due. Regardless, this tournament has been insane and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if UK lost to K State.
According to kenpom, 3 of the 4 worst teams remaining are in the south region.
The Region was tough until all the higher seeds lost you idiot.
I guess I should have clarified you as a shite REstarter. Laughing You tend to wait until the shite has died down to post a poll that revives the heated debate. You sneaky like that. Winking
To be fair, the only terrible team we lost to was probably south carolina. And that was mainly because of outrageous foul trouble that forced jarred Vanderbilt to play pg almost half the game in his first game of his freshman season.
UCLA was probably 2nd worst. Barely a month into the season.
Hell yeah we got lucky. It's about time we benefited from some bracket magic. Since Cal has been here I think the only time we were in a bracket that blew up, we were an 8 seed and blew it up ourselves.
Other than that, then worst team we have played relative to what seed we should have played was 10 seed Wichita State instead of 7 seed Dayton last year. It's crazy how lucky we've gotten but it's about time.
Obviously I'm leaving out the Final Four, but even there we haven't had huge breaks.

Where is Louisville in this discussion? Oh I forgot they did not make the tourney.

Calipari will find a way to blow it. Don’t worry dudes.
Yeah, I know...i’m a U of L fan. Suck it.

LOL.... I am flattered that everyone thinks UK fans are psychic and knew that all 4 top seeds in our region would get kicked in the nads in the first weekend....
I mean if we knew that... do you think we'd complain about our bracket?

See, this is why I lol at the moronic posters who Champion NCAA titles and loathe Helms Titles. It's how the committees crown their top team at the time. They'll pimp Sweet 16s, laugh at Helms'.. I just smh.
And I hope, because I love the college game, that eventually the model changes again, evolves, to get closer to awarding a true champ.
I think most people discredit Helms titles because they are just nominations by one random dude, and most of them were awarded retroactively. It's not like they played a single elimination tournament to actually earn the title.
Article I just read by the Cats Illustrated staff said Wade is expected to play Thursday. No idea where they came up with that info though.
So, this money grab awards it's champion, and when the championing changes, these championships will mean less.
I'm not about to belittle the past because they had a specific way of awarding their alpha. When asked, I reply that Kansas has three NCAA titles, and a couple Helms. I'm not embarrassed, or whatever.. they were earned over their specific seasons and in making up the roster(s).. they are what they are.
admittedly, I'm not on top of it.
I'd like him to play, otherwise half my family will bitch about the loss all off-season should he not be able to go.
Certainly no reason to be embarrassed by it. Some programs choose to acknowledge them and others don't. I don't have an issue with it either way.
Half your family is comprised of K-State fans? That must make for some awkward holiday chatter. Laughing
My sister has a few degrees from KSU, and we've got three close male cousins and a close uncle who also are graduates/fans (although one of those Wildcats is a huge Jayhawks fan), so those guys and their kids.
All the rest of us chose winning at life.
We talk so much ish at Christmas. Laughing
It's K-State, lol.
You can tell them even if Wade does not play that UK will likely be without Vanderbilt... so they are even and they need to stop bitching. Laughing
The things that Kentucky fans bitched about last week are still as valid now as then. UK did not get a good draw. Now that Virginia, Cinn., Tennessee and Arizona have shit their bed makes the original draw no better.
A lot of my family went to K State. When my ancestors moved to the US from Ireland about 100 years ago they ended up in Kansas. Always had a soft spot for them because of this, but when it comes to basketball the Purple Wildcats can go to hell.
Well Michigans is now a gift.
No North Carolina, no Xavier, no Ohio State and Gonzaga is the most overrated team in the NCAA.
UVA, sure but Zona? I knew that shit wasn't happening, lol. That was a clueless pundit pick. That league was shit.
UK was due? Try being a Purdue fan. Brackets never just open up for us. This year being a great example. Teams dropping left and right in other regions, but not ours. Never does.
At least Cal has a chance to blow it. UofL sits home while Kentucky is still playing.
FWIW, the NIT used to be the premier tourney, from what I once read.
