I would like to start by saying great game and I have never had anything but respect for your program. After reading some posts here, I'm not sure that feeling was mutual. But that isn't why I came here. It was about seeding for both of us.
If you looked at the power rankings after we both won our tourneys, the Cats averaged a 7 combining them all together. You guys were the overall number one seed, meaning, by us being in your bracket, we were the fourth number 4. Just like last year when we were the number one overall seed, and they couldn't decide the forth between Duke and WVU, they gave us WVU as a 2. If it was that close between Puke and WVU, shouldn't they have got the first 2 seed?
Florida got the 2 in the easiest bracket after we handled them twice easily at the end of the year with a power ranking much higher. But they don't like UK so we have gotten used to everything going against us and ESPN jumping for glee when we lose and picking against us at every turn. Winning the Sec tourney did us absolutely no good. The teams were already penciled in. Yet it sure seemed to help Puke beat UNC. Seems with Florida's bracket, they got the first 2, but you can't find any data to support that 5th spot.
So Cal is 1 and 8 all time against Bobby Huggins, so magically we get them the second game. then somebody told me the OSU AD was on the committee or chairman, can't remember which. So how does it feel getting screwed by your own guy. We were by far, the hardest bracket in the dance. You all being ranked number one, declared the number one seed, didn't deserve UK as a four and UNC as a 2. Although I'm confident that you all would have handled Florida(which you should have played) and UNC. Maybe you deserved Pitts spot and we should have been a two or three in a totally different region. The Duke spot would have been deserved, as well. Did you see the consecutive calls against Arizona in that game as they began to pull away? It was disgusting.
I'm just saying, should you all have an issue with the committee like we did, this year? All because we aren't the darlings of the NCAA? UNC in the East and Duke in the West, both playing games in Charlotte? It used to be that different regions played ALL games in different venues. We are awfully close to Ohio to be playing in Tampa. If we had had a guy on that committee, I would be tweaked. You all shouldn't have seen us until at least the Elite 8, if not the Final Four. Be angry, like we are with the constant abuse. Later, and great year you all had.
