Huge win for Middle Tennessee at UAB yesterday that gives them a fighting chance at an at large bid. If Vandy would get in over them that be a travesty as they crushed them 81-48 in the regular season.
Kentucky as a 2 seed as #7 overall very interesting to have them that high. I still don't know if they would be a 2 right now. Hard to pass up so many teams with such light wins. UNC and Florida as only 2 big wins.
Kentucky as a 2 seed lasted all of one day. Baylor's quality win will push them back ahead, and UCLA all of a sudden gets to play their heads-up card to take Kentucky's spot on the 2 line.
Right now it's fluid and in the eye of the beholder what's 1 person's 2 seed is another's 3 seed and vice versa. Until we see how the next 2 weeks play it you really can stink anyone there and in the 3/4 lines. There are about 15 teams that as of today are pretty consensus protected seeds. After that it's anyone's guess. Baylor will likely lose again in the Big 12 tournament. Either Arizona or UCLA has to lose at least 1 more game so both unlikely to hold the 2 line. Kentucky needs to win out and just be patient. The big question is will the committee just stick them on the 3 line because they are lazy and won't account for the SEC tournament.
