Dont be surprised if we lose it. I think all UK fans would agree they would rather lose @ UF than in the NCAA T.

Who wouldn't.

But I don't think that has much bearing on the game tho.

All im saying, is if you forced to pick a game that KY had to lose, it would be now. I want to go into the NCAA T on a winning note. If we lose during the SEC T, it takes away our momentum.

If we're the 2 seed we will play the winner of Ole Miss/Auburn. (2-0 vs Miss and Barn)
If we're the 3 seed we will play the winner of UGA/Miss. St. (1-2 vs UGA and MSU)

Take your pick.

who do we want to play in the semi's? Florida or Vandy? I would think think Florida but not sure which one would help our RPI more. I really think the team doesn't care. They just won't to beat whoeva whereeva wheneva howeva.

Then you also have to take into account whether you'd rather

be the 2 seed and play Vanderbilt again on a neutral court (as you're doing it, 1-1 vs Vandy)

or

be the 3 seed and play Florida again on a neutral court (2-0 vs UF, and they'd be [higher] ranked)




there's pluses and minuses with both ways of seeding

both probably help (i think both are up there in the RPIs)

UF likely....wouldnt hurt that the scenario for that to happen would mean they'd have to beat the #1 team, meaning their ranking probably goes up and their RPI would jump higher (i think....not fully familiar with RPIs)

I for one wouldn't be surprised. Florida lives and dies by the 3 and if they get hot and get it rolling, even a team as talented as UK would have trouble winning swapping 2's for 3's. That said, I fully expect UK to win.

Toss up. The 2 losses were on the road, and before UT had hit its stride. I personally think getting Miss St and beating them pretty good does more for UT.

I think 3 seed would be better for us...

Get a shot at a bubble team in miss st, that would be a good win.
