February 19, 201610 yr Let's say they win out - what is their seed ceiling? A #3 seed is where I think they most likely end up, if they keep playing well. Drop 2 or 3 more between now and Selection Sunday, and they are back on that 4/5 area.
February 19, 201610 yr Depends on what others do, but I'd guess #2 seed and going through Louisville. I was thinking about that today. It would be interesting if they put UK in the Louisville region if they are a 2 seed. It doesn't exactly seem right to the 1 seed to put UK as the 2 seed and that to play in the 2 seeds back yard basically.
February 19, 201610 yr Thanks for the replies. I honestly don't get the seeding thing. I was thinking 2 but I don't see why they couldn't be a 1 if they win out especially if the top keeps losing the way they are. 3 of their last 5 are against RPI top 50. Currently Iowa is a 2 after their loss to Penn State. Record 20-6 SOS - 35 RPI - 15 Wins v. RPI top 50 - 4 UK 20-6 SOS - 34 RPI - 10 Wins v. RPI top 50 - 5

I think Kentucky being in the SEC, and Iowa being in the Big Ten is the major factor there. Big Ten, rightly or wrongly, is viewed much more favorably than the SEC in hoops.

I might be wrong, but don't they do it for Duke & North Carolina quite often when they are the 2 seed?

February 19, 201610 yr Rightly. I haven't seen Iowa play at all this year. Who would you favor in a UK/Iowa match up in the NCAA Tournament?

February 19, 201610 yr I haven't seen Iowa play at all this year. Who would you favor in a UK/Iowa match up in the NCAA Tournament? Would be an interesting matchup, Iowa definitely could hurt UK up front. Keep in mind, I'm of the belief that Iowa is the 3rd best B10 team, with Maryland and Michigan St being better. UK probably wins, but it would be a great 2 / 3 match-up in the Sweet 16.
February 20, 201610 yr I might be wrong, but don't they do it for Duke & North Carolina quite often when they are the 2 seed? I don't think they do. Duke and North Caroline always basically play in their own state for the first two rounds no matter what. However when they are not the one seed, I don't believe they are in a region that would play the regional finals in their own state. I hope I am completley wrong and UK is in the Louisville bracket. I love going to Louisville for the NCAA tournament when UK is playing down there.
February 22, 201610 yr Looking at UK's roster who are these guys? I am sure they could find 5 kids in Kentucky that are better? E.J. Floreal Tai Wynyard Mychal Mulder Jonny David Charles Matthews
