It really pissed off a bunch of the more popular analysts that they were only a ten seed but I looked at their schedule and they haven't beat anyone worth a shite. Their best wins are Illinois State, Colorado State, and LSU. They lost to Ok St, Louisville, Ill at and mich st. I get that their advanced stats are very impressive but they still never beat a team worth a shite. Their seed seems fair since the committee values beating high level teams. I think they're overrated, they didn't beat anyone all year. What do y'all think

Alabama chose Avery Johnson over Gregg Marshall.




































Kidding.

Exactly. I couldn't believe how big of a fit was being thrown about Wichita being underseeded when it was very clear they struggled with better teams.

Why is that?

Kentucky is not that impressive overall

They have had good moments but way too inconsistent and young

They lost to an Indiana team last year who was not much better than what Wichita St is now
Remember when the Shockers beat a very good KU team three years ago

That was last year. 3 years ago isn't this year.

I can see Kentucky going to the final four. I can also see them losing vs Wichita State. Such a volatile team but I think something may have clicked for them vs Florida the second time and they're playing up to their potential again, like they did until their weird funk.

That team also had Ron Baker, Cleanthony Early and Fred Van Vleet. Those 3 all made it to the NBA. Big difference in talent from that year to this year. I think they could still beat UK but it's unlikely.

Congrats to the shockers on their best win of these season. I hope they pull the upset.

Talent wise they may not match up
Coaching wise and experience I believe they have the advantage
Still I only took them in 1 out my 3 brackets
That is still a chance

They're good enough to beat the Cats on Sunday, that is if KY wins tonight

Sucks Creighton left the MVC, would have made the conference look much better.

I saw them live and thought they were really damn good. I expected a fall-off after losing Van Vleet and Baker, but they still look legit.

Good enough to upset Kentucky if they're on IMO.

This is objectively true. Marshall is in a totally different galaxy than PayPal

Kentucky will beat them silly. Kentucky has 2 guards and a Big man that will be drafted in the 1st round.

Also, UCLA is the team you should be worried about losing early. They could get worked by cincinnati.

Kentucky has better guards. That's about it

Cincy can absolutely beat UCLA.
