Would Toppin primarily be guarding Hopkins? Can't say I've watched any Providence games.

Same here.  I didn't know anything about them other than Hopkins.  

A quick glance says they don't have a lot of size, but they have 5 guys averaging double figures.  Seem to have a deep bench too.  Coming in losers of 3 straight.  4-6 in their last 10.

Saw Matt Jones say that they are 7-8 in their last 15 games. They play small and spread teams out, which is exactly what Vandy did to UK in the last two games.

That's what it seems like.  Terrific.

Frairs by 7.

I wonder what people outside of the BBN & Bluegrass state think about this game.

I think this will be the "upset" pick that everybody jumps on this week.

This game is an @nikeman49 special.

Play some zone defense, they win. No zone - trouble.

There is no reason that UK should not make it to the 2nd weekend.  A fantastic draw for them.

My assumption is all the other teams in UK's little 4 team pod are thinking the same thing.

Kentucky's draw is cake, tbh. They have the worst 1, 2 and 3 seeds in their region. They should AT LEAST make the Elite 8 in that bracket.

Kansas State is a pretty solid team, if UK gets passed their first round.

Is UK the worst 6 seed?

No, not in my opinion.
