Really? Just last week I watched Kentucky shoot the ball very well and still get handled by Florida. This is not a great Kentucky team.
Good enough to win the SEC tournament.
No you didn't. They shot 40% from the field and 59% from the line against Florida. This isn't a great Kentucky team but they are peaking now as usual under Cal.
Of course. Good enough to win the NCAA tournament as well...but there are probably 30 teams we can say that about this year.
They would be better off without Richards and Diallo, even if it killed their depth.
UK sorta reminds me of 2017 Duke. Discombobulated season. Lost last regular season game of season, went on a tear in conference tournament.
We will see what they do in the tournament.

You must've been watching a different game than I was.
I mean, he didn't flop more than other guys in the parts of the game I saw. Perhaps he saved it for the minutes I wasn't watching though. It just seems odd to make a big deal out of that when you have guys (most all teams do) do the same thing.
Would have loved another shot at Florida as well as Tennessee. Real shame they couldn’t make it to the title game
Well, those people should never really be paid much attention to. That argument has always been pretty silly.
Good game, the Cats deserved the win. Hope we play again in about three weeks.
Team is nothing like Duke last year imo. Though I wouldn't be stunned to see them lose in the second round like ya'll did.
Congrats Kentucky on the SEC champiosnhip. Cal is magical at getting his teams ready for tournament play. I have a very bad feeling that UK will be the 4 seed in the South with UVA.
Trust us, there are other 1’s we’d rather have
Still nuts to me that UK has trailed for only 5 minutes over the past 3 games in this tournament, and 2 of those games, UK won by 20+
Team is playing well at the right time. Playing outstanding on both ends of the floor, and this tournament was without our most talented player. When we get our Dennis Rodman Jr. back, I'll feel really, really good.

Yep. I've been hard on UVA over the years, but this one is different. They're not devoid of offensive ability.
I feel good enough to the point that I'll be okay wherever this UK team lands in the tournament. I think they're good enough to beat anybody right now. I will absolutely not be as happy if UVA is in UK's bracket though.
I've felt like Kentucky and Virginia are on a collision course as well .
With West Virginia as the 5 seed. Never change, NCAA committee.
Hoping UK gets in Xavier's bracket. I'd like to avoid Duke on the 2 line and Arizona on the 4 line (if UK's the 5) as well. But games are gonna be 50/50 for the most part here on out for the Cats so /shrug. Just hope Vanderbilt is able to go for the first game.
WVU should be a 4 but would not surprise me to see them drop a line to maintain that matchup lol
I wouldn't want UK where they are now on Lunardi's bracket. SDSU in the first round....no thanks. They are on fire. Have won 9 in a row and beat the piss out of Nevada the other day. That being said, I am sure UK will draw them....
As far as the injuries, players missing game, regular season, both winning their conference tournament, etc. this UK team is very similar to 2017 Duke.
San Diego State is a good team when healthy, which they are now. The NCAA should take that into consideration.
Well it does seem to me that UK has a higher floor than Duke in the past few years. UK never lost to mid-majors or a team seeded much lower than them in the NCAA tournament, while Duke regularly suffered upsets by much weaker teams.
Losing in the 1st round of the NIT is worse than anything that Duke has done though.
Simply comparing 2017 Duke and 2018 UK as far as similar situations happening during their respective seasons.
How can a team ranked #1 in the nation be on a collision course with a unranked team?
Yeah, I'm not the other UK fans. You're going to have to actually put some effort into it
