March 15, 201511 yr Cal told ESPN the truth that they didn't cut the nets down in Nashville was because they forgot.
March 15, 201511 yr :cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: No crying from me. I just call it as I see it. They were the fourth number one to get in, yet they have the easiest road. No surprise there, bring em on.
March 16, 201511 yr No crying from me. I just call it as I see it. They were the fourth number one to get in, yet they have the easiest road. No surprise there, bring em on. Funny, BPI says UK has the easiest road.
March 16, 201511 yr Count me in the group that thinks Kentucky's bracket is cake. I know the cool thing to do is say the committee gave Duke an easy road, but I disagree completely. Utah and SDS are both very talented defensive teams. St. John's has ridiculous athleticism (and had Duke beat earlier this year), and Iowa State and Gonzaga are terrible matchups for the Blue Devils IMO. I think this is the first year I've ever looked at every bracket and said, "yeah, that looks balanced". :idunno:

Bleacher Report indicates UK has a "tough road" but also states in the report they are in the second weakest region. Go figure.
March 16, 201511 yr I guess it depends on who's report you read. Bleacher Report indicates UK has a "tough road" but also states in the report they are in the second weakest region. Go figure. I could see that logic, being that a tough road could mean that match ups are bad, where as weakest region means overall quality and numbers regarding the teams. The midwest is odd because I don't think many people would rather have the 3 seed over the 2 seed and usually the 1 and 2 line are heads over everyone else in my estimation.
March 16, 201511 yr Kentucky was paired with the "worst" 2 seed and the "worst 3 seed according to the selection committees rankings.
March 16, 201511 yr Kentucky was paired with the "worst" 2 seed and the "worst 3 seed according to the selection committees rankings. Where can you find the selection committee rankings? I would have thought that since Kansas was the worst 2 seed that they would have then put who they thought was the best 3 seed in that bracket.
March 16, 201511 yr Where can you find the selection committee rankings? I would have thought that since Kansas was the worst 2 seed that they would have then put who they thought was the best 3 seed in that bracket. Here ya go....Selection Committee Rankings 1-68
March 16, 201511 yr Here ya go.... Thank you sir! I am surprised that they have Notre Dame behind both Baylor and Oklahoma.
