I'm guessing they want UK-UC as Saturday evening's marquee game. To do this they need to play us & UK Thursday night.
WOW!!!!

That's what you think. Kentucky will play Thursday night and we will play our first round game at 3pm Saturday before a 9pm tip with Kentucky.

This was the one bracket I did not want. We shouldn't be looking past Iowa State of course, but UK scares the out of me. Don't worry though, I just did my part to help the mojo by breaking up with my girlfriend (who is a UK fan along with her entire family and lives in Louisville) until after next weekend. Maybe it'll help?
We should beat Iowa State. They really dont have any impressive wins. The only ranked opponent they beat was Baylor and that was on the last day of the regular season.
Kentucky is going to be interesting. Everybody is expecting them to advance to the final four so there will be a lot of pressure. During the Florida game in The SEC tournament they were pretty shaky for stretches. If Calhoun had five days to prepare a gameplan I say we win. Two days will be tougher, especially with the way Lamb disappeared during the last Syracuse game. But we shall see

I can just see our guys looking past Iowa State and towards the match-up with Kentucky and putting up a stinker. I don't like this draw at all. I think we got the worst possible draw I could imagine. We haven't exactly had a ton of success this season against top teams and now we get the top overall seed in their home state if we happen to beat Iowa State.

I love this. sure it sux its in kentucky but im positive when calipari saw us sitting there in the 8/9 game he thought "sh%t!". i like this because we`re going to find out quickly whether uconn has a chance to repeat or not. if we get past a solid iowa st. and beat the best team in the country uk then this team has as good a chance as any to win it all and could become the favorite overnight believe it or not. im excited!

Kentucky losing in the SEC title game did us no favors either. They should be very focused.

Not an ideal situation but it's what we earned this year, and a couple of weeks ago we we on the bubble thinking NIT, so we should play fast and loose and see what happens.

The NCAA couldn't have screwed us more if they tried (and they probably did try). UK, the best team, in Louisville. Given any other seeding and region, we'd be a major threat for an upset in the second round.

We still are. I'm not happy with the placement but if we win our first two games we're a major threat for a FF run

They had K State's record wrong. They'd be a 1 seed with that record.
Indeed, I stand corrected. Forget it then. We're not making it out if the first round

pffff....FSU beat UNC and Duke 12 times this year, and we beat FSU. Just because Iowa State beat a good team doesn't mean we can't beat them.
It is what it is thats what happens when you have the season we have had, I bet our kids are excited to take on the number 1 team in the country if we can get past Iowa State. We have nothing to lose in this tournament just go all out and I can live with the end result.

its the one bracket you did not want but if uconn wins 2 games things change really quickly dont they? this will let us know quickly if we are ready or not.
if we were to beat Kentucky that alone would make my season

excellent just the matchup i predicted and hoped for. This is gonna be fun guys dont worry too much. Kentucky is going home early and its going to be fun watching Drummond dunk and body Davis and Jeremy have his way with Doron lamb. Boatright crossing Teague over. UCONN time baby lets go.
