Only KY fans care about that

First thing they mentioned on the selection show. Just saying.

Typical media reaction.

ESPN is going wild about Duke being a #5 seed. They thought they should even had a #3 seed. I think that is a little high but they probably should have been a #4 seed.

Example # 7,659.

Obviously winnable for Kentucky, but I don't see them making it to second weekend.  May not get out of Friday.

In addition to head to head, UK finished ahead of Texas A&M in the SEC standings. I think #3 in the SEC regular season got UK the 6 seed.

UK did not finish ahead of A&M in the SEC standings A&M was 2nd with a 15-3 league record and the Cats were the #3 seed at 12-6.

Gotcha. So A&M as a 7 seed is a bit of a mystery. However, Tennessee is a 4 seed and UK finished ahead of them and beat them twice.

Just saw that North Carolina quickly declined an NIT bid after not making the NCAA tournament.

Kinda shocked they did that, but I guess I also understand it.

Thinking I'm going to be betting Iona for the upset in this one.

If they beat Providence, I think they are going to have their hands full with Kansas State.

About four weeks ago, I decide to put a futures bet on a random team to make the Final Four and I went with K State. Also have one on Kentucky. Don't like that I'm guaranteed to lose at least one in the second round.

Just planning to take it one day at a time.  Thanks for asking. 

Houston over Kansas makes zero sense. 

I look at the the brackets and the net rankings and have a hard time figuring out how net rankings factor into seeding. Or are net rankings not used for seeding?
