possible early opponents in the NCAA tournaments...

it's still early to know but fan to speculate. I have been seeing a lot of matchups against Clemson in the 2nd round if they stay a 7 seed. some others are Creighton, Louisville, Oregon and Baylor

Give me Clemson or Louisville out of that group

We beat Baylor once may just be a good matchup for us

I'd take Clemson or Oregon, unless we get shafted and are put in the West bracket.
Louisville seems to be on a tear lately, so not sure if i want to face them...

If we end up as a 2, 15 seeds are no joke anymore. Don’t get caught napping in a 2-15 matchup, right Kentucky?

Cleveland st, Towson, and Norfolk St are some of the 15s we could see. Norfolk gaves us a little run for our money in the first half earlier this season

Difficult to tell what kind of a tear Louisville is on with the competition they have faced. We did beat them by 22 in their building earlier this season, though, so there is that.

Clemson’s only wins of note were at home against KY and Dook (whose player slipped on the drive to tie the game)
They got beaten by Louisville, SCjr and Tech

Doesn't matter who we play-we have to defense,run with transition,hit our dhots.With those being done,we needn't worry about who we play or who we should hopefully avoid.

Doesn’t matter what bracket we’re in for the first two rounds, we’ll likely be playing in Raleigh.

Hard to believe that game was more than three months ago. I have watched Louisville a lot. They’re much better than they were then and their KenPom numbers are stout (offense #21, defense #33). I think they’d give us a heck of a game but our defense would prevail.

Yeppie....We just to keep building on the things we have done when we have been successful on offense
( i.e getting into the paint/more shots around the basket, making purposeful cuts, dribble penetration from ZZ, ) and start consistently hit the damn wide open shots we are given.
We were showing some nice improvements, just have to stick with it.
Kentucky shot 50% from the floor and from 3 the other night and we were winning late by 3.
I don't think we are that far from where we need to make a serious run.
