    Conspiracy Theory: Playing for Seeding Doesn't Matter Anymore

    Texas in the second round? Wake Forest? This is why the Kentucky Wildcats went 32-2 and is ranked second in the Nation?

    Texas in the second round? Wake Forest? This is why the Kentucky Wildcats went 32-2 and is ranked second in the Nation? All of the battles to stay on top and the NCAA stick the Cats with a very tough road just to make the Sweet 16. Kentucky is not the only team who has a tough road to the the Championship. Kansas has the toughest bracket and will have to possibly face Michigan St. or Maryland to make it to the Elite 8. Giving Duke a pie bracket really makes me believe in the ESPN bias.


    I just don't understand why the NCAA did the bracket the way they did. If Kentucky is the second best team in the nation, then why don't they have a little easier road? It is like the committee closed their eyes and started pointing and that is where the teams went.
    Remember this bracket in future tournaments, because regular season play does not play into seeding. How could it? Kentucky could have had an easier road by switching with Villanova as the #2 in the South. Look at their bracket. I would trade in a heart beat.
    I sometimes laugh at how Kentucky fans feel like we are always getting the short end of the stick. If it isn't the officiating, it is the media that is trying to beat us. Well, add the NCAA to the list. Our tournament resume must have been thrown in the trash.

      we are very proud of you all and i agree with you about the bracket you were placed in. I think the refree needs to call the game better than what they do. I am hundreds of miles away from the game and could call it better than they do. I think there is too much walking going on and not being called . Every battle Ky has to go at is like trying to fight a 12 foot Grizzly Bear. Because of the Media and ESPN and the people that does not like KY But i guess we will see when we cut the nets down at the Championship Game. I think they should have put
      Mississippi State in the Ncaa Tournment . GO BIG BLUE.............

      The Seeding, and the brackets are one thing. But. The disrespect is another period. The way i look at it is like this..Just throw the whole dang season out of the window..It doest matter! I love big blue and im vary proud of them. But just look at Flordia they got in...and miss st beat them in the SEC Tournment? and even Miss st went to the championship, and took us to over time both time we played them? Thats disrespect. Look at Cal. I was like who are they lol and what did they do to get in? There was many teams this year that should of gotten in but was over looked Sad day for the NCAA..
