February 20, 200818 yr Early scoring by Crawford and great defense against Gaines secured the win for the Cats. Another solid performance by Patterson. Good to get another SEC "W".
February 20, 200818 yr I've said the same for UC and UK a lot over the last 6 weeks. Ugly wins are still wins...
February 20, 200818 yr Take into account the SEC is down this year and mid major conferences have got much better over the years, a 10 win team in a major conference could be left out this year. Very true but it is all about money and UK fans travel well and that may play a huge roll in decision making if someone is on the bubble.
February 20, 200818 yr My mistake.:thumb: Cool. I was thinking they definately showed Bradley on closeup cam after the blunder, so that's why I was thinking it was him. Anyways, he followed that up with a key rebound that helped preserve the win. I guess we'll just have to take the bad with the good when it comes to Smooth.
February 20, 200818 yr Take into account the SEC is down this year and mid major conferences have got much better over the years, a 10 win team in a major conference could be left out this year. Take into account other conferences are down as well. ACC will get maybe 5 bids. BEast may get the most. Big 10 will probably get 4. So many of your majors are down as well, not only the SEC. Shooting for 12-4 in the conference. Survive and advance.
February 20, 200818 yr Very true but it is all about money and UK fans travel well and that may play a huge roll in decision making if someone is on the bubble. It has nothing to do with the selection process. I have interviewed several major names in the process, and from what I know about what happens in that room it's a zero factor. Please let this one die. It isn't the Bowl system...

Leave us alone, it is the strongest thing on our NCAA resume. :fight:
February 20, 200818 yr It's a win, but they (the Cats) sure do make things interesting.Now Arkansas comes to town, and it will more then likely be another close one. GO CATS!!!:dancingpa
February 20, 200818 yr A Win is a Win, most importantly we are at 8-3 in the conference and still in 2nd place in the east. U.K. jumps out to a 20-4, 16pt. lead and lets UGA back in it. UGA did a very good job playing short handed on the road. Bradley with 12 boards :eek::ylsuper:. Patterson (20pt.) and Crawford (23pt.)were on as well. U.K. made a lot of big "D" plays late in the game as well. The rest of this season is like tournament play for U.K. and has been since the Vandy emabarrassment as for getting into the "dance" in March, as the great Al Mcguire and Jim Valvano used to say....survive and advance :thumb:. U.K. has Arkansas and Ole Miss coming up at home before going on the road to Tennessee. We HAVE to win these two home games imo. Florida will be the only remaining home game after Ark. and Miss..
February 20, 200818 yr Take into account other conferences are down as well. ACC will get maybe 5 bids. BEast may get the most. Big 10 will probably get 4. So many of your majors are down as well, not only the SEC. Shooting for 12-4 in the conference. Survive and advance. The bottom of the SEC and Big 11 is beyond bad. The bottom of the ACC isn't far off. I think there are 10 Big East teams that would finish in the top half of all 3. With that said, I'm not sure a Big East team could win any of the three. It's a cluster of good but not great across the board. The Pac 10 and Big 12 are REALLY good at the top and solid in the middle. The Valley is down, but the A10 is up. No doubt there will be Mid Major love with 6 of 10 Selection spots...

Please let this one die. It isn't the Bowl system... I forgot all about your sources!! Maybe I should have just marked it down. Money is and always will be a factor in anything the NCAA has a hand in whether it be on the gridiron or the hardwood.
