Do we want Kentucky to keep winning to make that loss look less bad? Or are we fully on the LOL CATS train and want them to lose to Georgia? What is the verdict?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Bill Self calls a timeout right as Jalen Wilson hits a massive 3 that probably would have sealed the game. Doesn’t count. Now Kansas in a rough spot with 4 on the shot clock.

 

[TheBigOne10]

What a lob!

 

[TheBigOne10]

Down goes Kansas! Good win K State!

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Down goes Kansas. KSU likely will jump into the 2-seed line now. Getting pretty crowded in the 2/3 range right now.

 

[walkenvol]

Kansas loses in OT to K St!

I was just having this same predicament. I don’t know what I want.

@bleedingTNorange, Also is it good that Kansas lost? Or bad since we might couldn’t catch them for a 1 seed and that win is carrying our resume?

Also KSU jumps on the 2 seed line I’m sure so that probably hurts us

Listening to these 2 ladies call the Bama game is painful

Still 6 weeks left in the regular season, so none of it really matters although it is fun to discuss. I think the KSU win hurts us slightly just because that 2/3 line is really crowded right now. A ton of great, but not elite teams in college basketball this year.

Cal puts Wheeler in, immediately gets beaten off the dribble and UGA gets a layup.

We would’ve won if he hadn’t been hurt. Cal still doesn’t get that Kentucky plays better without him.

Yeah it is definitely still too far out to worry about seeding, but it’s definitely fun to think about. @bleedingTNorange thread towards the end of the season about NCAA tourney seeds and who we want to lose and where we are at is one of the most fun threads in my opinion.

Ideally, we are fighting KU for seeding, so we need them to lose a few games. We don't want them to tank, obviously, but they need to have a few losses to their credit.

UK on the other hand, we need them to win, but I want them to lose because I hate their freaking guts. We need that loss to stay a Q2 loss, at worst, so I'm being self-destructive in my hatred. No surprise they're losing with Wheeler back in the lineup. That dude would be perfect in an Auburn uniform.

 

[VolsSportsFan]

I love if UK lost but at the same time it will really piss me off that we didn’t show up against them.

Georgia smacking Kentucky on the road just makes Saturday hurt even worse. Kentucky is TRASH.

Wheeler is a net negative. The only chance they have of a turnaround is for Cal to figure out that Wallace should be the guy at point.

Why is that so obvious to everyone but Cal?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

I guess Cal doesn’t want to hurt Wheeler’s feelings but he really shouldn’t play another second for Kentucky the rest of the year.

Depends what you’re hoping for, if you’re hoping for a 1 seed then Kansas losing is a good thing, if you’re hoping for 2/3 seed then you probably wanted Kansas to win.

 

[omghulkhands]

Karl-Anthony Towns attempted a grand total of Eight 3-pointers in his lone season at Kentucky

There are many thing that just aren't obvious to Cal for some reason or another.

If the Net rankings are the be-all end-all, then KU is a Q1 win either way isn't it?

(this post is sarcasm because we all know the committee just makes up whatever they want in the end)

 

[TheBigOne10]

Rupparees taking over. Tshiebwe with the obvious travel ever not called and a chance for a 3 point play

 

[VolGee4]

Oscar with an obvious travel before a made shot. I swear…officials have lost all control of the game’s fundamentals.

 

[SGMVols]

No Wheeler and Kentucky goes on a run and takes the lead. Imagine that.

They're awful. And it’s that way everywhere.

Yeah and I got blasted for it.

Kentucky gets away with more calls than anybody.
