K has a RECENT history of laying eggs in the first round, K owned the tournament for about 20 years though.
Vegas still favors Duke over Kentucky
- Thread starter bkingUK
- Start date
that is one of the reasons i love the NCAAT
the best team does not always win it (yep it can be heartbreaking)
for me the unknown brings excitement
Duke just needs to get a 1 seed. I pretty much write them off otherwise. Coach K as great as he's been hasn't made the final four without being a 1 seed since 1994.
Roy Williams is in a similar boat I think. He's got 5 final fours at UNC and they're all as 1 seeds. But on Roy, he's 5/6 final fours with a 1 seed with 3 titles and nearly a 4th since he's been there. But if they don't get a one seed I know they're not a threat.
To be fair on that note, the odds for a one seed making the final four are like 50/50 or close to it. But for any other single seed it's less than 20%.
ummmmmmm, no. We are a one seed about every year and we don't exactly ring up final fours like big 12 titles. Your stats are poop.
That's because your coach is arguably the biggest post season choke artist in all of sports.
Since seeding began in 1979 >40% of the final four slots have went to 1 seeds.
Well our roster is set to make a run----which means we will probably be dominant all year and finish 33-2 and lose to some nearly extinct mascoted team before the elite 8.....dick in hand.
Also got curious and looked up some more stuff. These coaches final fours with 1 seeds.
Coach K is 7-6(he's had 13 1 seeds and went to 7 final fours with them)
Pitino was 4-2
Calipari is 4-2
Self is 2-7(0-1 at Illinois and 2-6 at Kansas)
Roy Williams was like 1-3 at Kansas I think. 5-1 at UNC.

Kansas is the one team I'm looking at and feel like you can go ahead and pencil in as a 1 seed.
Thats like 4 years in a row if it happens. I wonder what the record is? That's gotta be it I would think.
I guess you always want to get that #1 seed, but it doesn't mean shit if you don't make the F4. If you look at our seeding history, the odds suggest many more F4's. Kinda like if you look at UK's recruiting history and NC.....but at least you have the chances in the FF's.
Yep---lived it...........its like being ready to say **** you every year and then you end up muttering **** me to yourself.
UK has more depth of talent, and more experience returning. Both teams will be very young and time will tell if either become a a great "Team"
I like my Heels blend of experience and talented youngsters.
UNC plays UK, Dook, Gonzaga , Virginia and Tennessee this year. All are ranked in the top 10 in most preseason polls.
Battle Tested!

Dude you can’t be serious lol. Delaurier and Bolden are straight scrubs. Pj and Travis are all American candidates.
Does Uconn and Indiana ring a bell? Both were great under one coach and have recently sucked after Calhoun and Knight left. It happens
Kentucky's roster is full of scrawny wimps. It will look like men vs boys when KU waltzes into Rupp.
Hold on...Washington did nothing to scream AA. And Travis is a great piece. Solid on both ends. Love him. But AA? Christ!!!
They’re going to be solid, one of the best front courts in the country next season. Much better than what MrButtBuddy is saying. It must suck having him as a Kansas fan
I expect Travis to be rock steady and the jury is out on Washington for sure. Def talented, but I wouldn’t bet a nickel on him being AA out of nowhere.
Yea, been drinking a lot tonight. You’re my boy
Year long avatar bet?
Even better, until UK and KU meets again.
You talk a lot of shit about UK. I like KU, but it would be fun to win and give you avatar you deserve.
Gotta decide now, not in Dec.
gonna suck to wear Duke then KU. Willing.

Being more physical doesn't necessarily equate to being better.
But I do think a lot of Kentucky's players are getting overhyped. Adding Travis will probably end up being huge. Even with him, I think Hagans needs to be a superstar for them to be great. We shall see.
I’m confused. Maybe he didn’t see your question that he quoted?
Speaking of which, Since we're on the topic. @bignish 3 month avatar bet on UK/Duke game? Not sure how we can do it longer due to @MrBaracus wins.
OK nevermind @MrBaracus. Let's do a full season avatar bet on UK Duke.
First come first serve.
I don't think @MrBaracus will bet

I'm all for trolling but saying this after they just made the final 4 is mind numbingly stupid. It's not their fault they ran into a Villanova team that wasn't losing to anyone. Not to mention when UK shit down their leg in the easiest region that will ever happen for Cal due to other teams losing.
