Do you think Wildcats loss means much? I’m not a buyer. But you follow a lot closer.

Probably lost a 1 seed. 1 seeds for NCAAs generally 1 of the 4 wins tourney.

Gotta think Cats rooting for UCLA & TXTech to maybe keep them as a 1

Hell, Rocky Flop beat Kentucky twice so really has to make ‘em a 2 seed.

Almost feel Zags, Zona, Baylor locked 1 seeds. See who grabs 4th spot.

I’ve been following this thread all year, I’m sitting on Kentucky futures at 30-1, 25-1, 22-1, 20-1, 15-1 and 11-1, Kentucky is the best overall team in college hoops, the only team that beats Kentucky is themselves, the bench is deep, they have the guards and the big man to make the run in March. I wanted them not to get a 1 seed, pressure is off now go make your run to New Orleans and cut down the nets.

Interesting. I got Auburn, Zags, Duke from Nov 30th…so pretty good odds though Dukes higher now than then.

I‘lol be hedging on each as tourney gets going. Especially once I see where each heads to. Though Zags West is a given. Zona South probably and Auburn once Midwest not sure where they land now.

As much as I started to fall for Kentucky, again I see more holes than ways for them to even get to NOLA. You described all the #1s ahead of Kentucky. And some 2s too…they are a solid 2 but after seeing Tenn work them into a shitty shooting %, 2/20 3P%, avg FTs…Tenn hotter and better past 2 weeks. They arguably are the SEC 1 seed

FYI and a huge note: Kentucky has won 1 championship in 8 tries as a 2 seed. 1998. History not on their side.

I‘d recommend doing what I plan to…HEDGE Some of those futures,

I bought into Kentucky after they trucked Kansas in Kansas. But, since then they looked mediocre. Lost at Arkansas and Tennessee. Then today they were never really in the game. Could be that the SEC is just that good....guess we’ll see in the next couple weeks.

Paypal Cal took a lot of heat after last years team, the key is the value, I also played Kentucky to make the Final 4 at 5-1 back in August so my futures wagers are covered if they get to NOLA. History is great but comes down to match up’s. I honesty believe this team can match up with anyone in the tournament. Today was a good loss to get the team refocused it’s tough to win 9 in a row in March. Anything less than a Final 4 this year will be a disappointment.

Loss was great no injuries! 1st 1/2 big disappointment! 22 points not their style. Refs slowed their pace? I think #1 will be Gonzaga-Zona-KU-UK....

VV.... UK is going to the Final weekend Calipari will win the Naismith. This felt to me like it was over before it started... Pat Adams, Chuck Jones, Doug Shows lets review them!

Rethinking.... think #1's SHOULD be Gonzaga-Zona(if they win) KU-UK.... Add Baylor Villanova Arkansas etc. into the mix

It’s gonazaga, Arizona, Kansas, Baylor as the 1s. Cal is an overrated coach with the most talent UK boosters can buy (hey there Oscar T’s mom lol). They won’t win it.

Villanova over Baylor. They won their tourney and Baylor got tossed out the gate
You could even put Duke ahead of them

I have a future bet on Kentucky. I just hope they are the #2 seed in either Baylor or Kansas bracket ‘cause those teams ain’t going anywhere.

Whether they deserve it or not is another question, but Baylor is currently a 1

Once we see selections and who goes where will be telling. The 2 seeds will be strong. Some more than others and those with the strongest 2s, Kentucky, Duke, Tenn, TxTech as possible examples, should give the 1s biggest worries. I do believe 3 1s make F4 but holding off till I first see who’s in each regional. Love this time of year.

Bracketology guy at espn has Duke as a 2 and nova as a 3. Should be other way around IMO. Duke is trash. Purdue prolly gets a 2 but they won’t make sweet 16.

Too many passes/bounces Free/Loose and go! Calipari reads the RX. Good luck with your picks. See y'all in New Orleans...
Unless Dickie V has some kind of documented success at picking, I’d fade his ass big time.

I think you, skoda, can pick better than that talking head!!

Sure glad he didn’t pick any of my futures picks ;) $$$

On top of things you are Double V!

Really believing Calipari is listening

When the players were done, Calipari spoke about a physical week of practice, tweaking, and how losing in the SEC semifinal may have been a good thing for NCAA prep.

Read in paper Calipari bought a house in Knoxville for a couple Million the other day, was that a clue? Honestly 1st game I didn't see all year.... Imagine everyone's bracket got busted. ?

Wow. I’ll call it the Dickie Vee CURSE. Awful coach. Awful CBB picker. He’s to blame. Sorry your K Wildcats dead. Switch to AZ Wildcats and go deeper than 1 & done ??‍♂️
