Agree, who gives a shit. I actually kind of hope they get a bid so I can take the dawg in the 1st round.

brian_hogs · Answer

If Georgia beats Arkansas theres no way the sec should get 6 teams in. &#xD;&#xA;Arkansas&#xD;&#xA;Mississippi St&#xD;&#xA;Tennesee&#xD;&#xA;Vanderbilt&#xD;&#xA;Georgia/Kentucky

woopdurritis · Answer

I think they get in

dangerfields · Answer

I  think they are in for sure unless georgia wins tourney tom..   but youd think at some point they will run out of gas,,   prob 2nd half  tom ..  tough to play  that much in 36 hourrs... but kentucy closed out season  pretty hot and selection comittee  puts alot of emphasis on that... . i think they are  already in..

monroeclark · Answer

I already talked with the selection committee and I convinced them to leave Kentucky out. I explained to them how they lost me money and today and expressed my displeasure with the team. They ended up feeling bad for me and thought leaving Kentucky out would make me feel better. It does a little bit.

TarHeel7703 · Answer

If Kentucky gets in, it is solely because of their tradition. They are not a good team and do not deserve a bid. Sorry, but the only team in the SEC worth a fuck is Tennessee. Props to Arky for a great game tonight. They are solid when they play well, but if they are off, they will get beat by Savannah State. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Fact is, Kentucky does not deserve a bid.

How in the world can you leave a team out of the dance that is 12-4 in any major conference ? The SEC is not as bad as yall make it out to be. SEC may be down but Tenn, Ark, Miss St, and Vandy are pretty good teams. If Kentucky had Meeks and Patterson they would be even better.

Tarheelz · Answer

Kentucky in the nonconference away from the down SEC:

6-7
Losses
Gardner Webb
UNC
Indiana
UAB
Houston
San Diego
Louisville

Wins
C. Arkansas
Liberty
Texas Southern
Stoney Brook
Tennessee Tech
FIU

Their wins are garbage....no one in top 150. Now they lose their best player.......no way they should be in. VTech would woop them by 20.

TarHeel7703 · Answer

They dont have Patterson and Meeks though Papi. Miss St. is the most inconsistent team in the country. Arky is solid, but again, they have gotten blown out too many times this season. Kentucjy is garbage dude. Would love for them to get a bid. Easy 1st round upset. The SEC is nothing man. CUSA is the only major conference I would take the SEC over.

Kentucky does deserve a bid here and will get it. And to say the only team worth a fuck in the SEC is off man. I know you dont like the SEC and think it is the worst conference in basketball but Miss St, Arkansas, and Vandy are decent teams. If Kentucky had Meeks and Patterson it would also be a different story

Tarheelz · Answer

also the tournament does look at injuries......I remember when Cincy lost Kenyon Martin they bumped them from a lock 1 seed to a 3 seed.

TarHeel7703 · Answer

You&#x27;re right, it would be a different story, but the ydon&#x27;t have them. Vandy is a solid squad, but they play totally different away from home. Foster is the only thing saving them every night. If Kentucky gets a bid, it is solely becuase of their rich tradition. Like I said, would love for them to make it. Belmont will win by double digits

bmc1015 · Answer

i think beating tenn and their overall wins get them in. im lvile fan and from lville. only reason i want them in is because my uk friend bet me uk would make it farther than lville in the tourney..

TRoe15 · Answer

Should they be in? No.Will they be in? Yes.

They are 12-4 in a major conference and will get in.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Arkansas is a decent team. They got blown out on the road in conference. It is not uncommon for a team to lose in conference on the road. &#xD;&#xA;Miss St.....Why is Miss St inconsistent ? Go look at their schedule again....Down the stretch....Lost at Vandy by 1, Won at Florida by 9, Lost at Miss by 9, Beat Ark by 6, Lost to Tenn by 6.........They lost 2 out of their last 9 down the stretch....They are not an Elite team, but they are a decent team

shakey12381 · Answer

do they deserve a bid no will they get one probably

dangerfields · Answer

im not saying they might not lose in 1st round. but they finished regular season  11-2  including wins over vandy and tenn.. who was ranked 4th until tonites game and prob would have been a 1 seed  if they won out ...   tenn is still a 3 at WORSE.. you cant leave a team totally out  that beat a 3 seed...    i might agree with u on the fact that they may be one and done.. but the  seriously belong in the top 65  teams..now illinois is a team if they get in is a lock to go out in 1st round..  .. i think stanford could be a huge dissapointment..(im not impressed with them at all..and it wouldnt surprise me if tex am fell flat in 1st round as well...   just a few views from the peanut gallery

Papi_4_MVP · Answer

Can someone give me some reasons why the committee should leave them out ?? Only answer I could see is that Meeks and Patterson are out

-Chase- · Answer

Absolutely Kentucky deserves a bid, and they aren't even a bubble team. This team is in guaranteed. Now, I think they are a good team to fade in the first round, but no way can you leave this team off after goign 12-4 in the SEC.

TarHeel7703 · Answer

How much weight do you really put on 12 wins in the SEC??? See tarheelz post earlier. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Again, I do not think they deserve a bid at all. That being said, they will get in. Great bracket booster for me.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;I could maybe make a case for them to get in if they atleast beat Ga today, but good lord. That is pathetic. How did they lose the UGA??? If they would have won that one and played well against Miss St, I could justify a bid. They didn&#x27;t,

unseen_movement · Answer

yall are smoking dust cause UK runs college basketball.  They won&#x27;t go to the final four this year cause their two best players are hurt and tubby didn&#x27;t recruit any talent... but this is the last time in your lives they will be in bubble discussion.  SEC haters will be silenced by tennessee and arkansas.   UK loses on a miracle shot and all of a sudden they don&#x27;t deserve to get in... shit, they&#x27;ll take anybody down to the wire.

The same Georgia team also beat Miss State tonight also. It was bad losses for both teams, but both Miss State and Kentucky should and will get in even though they lost. Kentucky was in before they even came to the SEC tourney......&#xD;&#xA;Kentucky beat Arkansas, Vandy, and Tennessee who are all decent teams and will all be in the tourney. SEC is better than you make it out to be
