Boy if Kentucky loses this game at home to a putrid Arkansas…Calipari talk will be all time high

Arkansas up at this time second half

Has Kentucky not played defense all season, or is this a recent change? Seems all of their games are pushing 200 pts.

Here's something I don't understand; the continued love of and over ranking of Wisconsin basketball.

They've played awful lately, and their best (and only good win of the year, honestly if you look closely) is a home win over Marquette, but yet most bracketologists still have them comfortably in the field, sitting somewhere in the range of like a 5 or 6 seed. (Although maybe they're starting to trend lower?).

They have 2 regular season games left. home vs Rutgers, then @Purdue.

Let's say they lose both (I understand that Rutgers isn't great but it's a possibility), then lose their Big10 tourney game.

Are they still in? Comfortably in? Out? Last Four-In/Out? Thoughts?

They're in even if losing out. I think they would probably fall no lower than a 7/8. Should they be that high? I say no.

I’m ******* sorry. I know Kansas has big wins. But they are at full strength and they aren’t a 2 seed. They just aren’t.
Narrative will not go to “Iowa State is better and the natural #2 seed.” It will go to “Big 12 is down and deserves less post-season slots and worse seeds.”

Total BS, but predictable as a sunrise.

Wow...I didn't remember that at all. I just remember being excited to go to the games since I was living in the Twin Cities at the time. I didn't see many ISU games that season. TV coverage wasn't the same back then.
I was there at the game. It was dicey af.

Then they absolutely annihilated Auburn. That was fun.
