If you ask me, UK kind of got a raw deal in the bracket. First, getting stuck with a #3 seed in the first place was wrong. You're talking about a team that finished fourth in the SEC, while winning over 40 games, and they aren't even one of the top 32 teams in the nation? Bull crap. Prior to the tournament, most national projections had the Cats with a good shot at getting a #1 seed if they made a good run in the SEC tourney. I don't think their 1-2 stint in Hoover last week should have dropped them down two seed lines.

Then, not only did they get stuck with a #3 seed, but they get paired with the only #2 seed that is hosting a regional, Michigan. So, UK is the only team in the tournament who has to play an opening "road" game, who was not a #4 seed. So one could make the argument that UK was accorded the least respect of all the #3 seeds as well.

Anyway, UK will have their hands full this weekend. At least they should get back Chris Rusin, their best starter all season who was held out of the SEC tourney due to injury.
