- I've heard a lot of UK fans moaning about how terrible of bracket the Cats are in or how the NCAA is trying to screw us over but the simple fact is, if you want to prove you're the best team in the nation, you have to beat quality teams. That being said, I'm not quite sure how Texas is an 8 seed, and how does the best no. 2 seed in WVU get in the second no. 1 seed's bracket? Either way, UK very well may not have to play either of those teams.
- I have a feeling that Patrick Patterson is going to dominate this entire tournament. With the NIT being the junior's only postseason experience, he will undoubtedly be chomping at the bit to prove his worth to Big Blue Nation, the nation at large and the NBA.
- Barack Obama has UK in his Final Four, woohoo.
- LeBron James has Kentucky winning the national title in his bracket, woohoo.
- Jay Bilas has Kentucky losing to Cornell in the Sweet Sixteen, haha.
Okay, so those last three really aren't thoughts, just statements of fact, but I thought they were worth mentioning. Some predictions on the tournament at large:
- Duke will be the first number one seed eliminated.
- the Final Four will consist of only one or two seeds.
- First round upsets: San Diego St. over Tennessee / UTEP over Butler / Robert Morris over Villanova
Prediction for tonight's game: Cats by 17.
