The graph left off a 2 seed, what’s up with that?

Crazy that a team coached my a basketball HOF coach is the closest thing to a Cinderella in this year's Sweet 16.

I think Cinderella stayed home and binge watched Gossip Girl this March with a tub of Ben and Jerry's.

We had a 10 seed regular season, with 2/3 seed talent.

Now we're playing to our potential. Sucks for Kansas and St. Johns getting that draw.

Agreed. Physical athletic SEC team doing what we’ve done all season to each other.

Yet a #2 St John’s was the darling they wanted. Oddly enough coached by a HOF coach…

Yeah, 20-13 with a losing conference record and God-awful losses (South Carolina, LSU, etc.). I was slightly surprised too.

Arkansas is just living up to pre season expectations. Their underperformance made them a 10 seed.

The UK 2013-14 team went to the national championship game as an 8 seed. They certainly weren't a cinderella team. Not with that kind of talent.

Arkansas could never be Cinderella in any sport. Good job for sure.

Arky has had a tough slate...KU, SJU and now TT.

Impressive already but if they beat TT...

The national goobs like Barkley have no idea just how injured we were.

Basicly could not practice preseason. IF Aidoo and Nelly are healthy from the gitgo we are a 4 seed going in. But we are healthier now than we have been all year and playing our best ball at the right time.

This is one ready to go team right now. Only motivated by lack of respect they are getting . That is a dangerous combo.

Yeah most don’t realize that even when those guys were playing early on, they weren’t near 100%

Boogie played a few games with a broken shooting hand before he was officially out

Z is likely still affected by his thumb injury. Wouldn’t be surprised if he broke it and is just playing out the season.

Honestly some of the worst injury luck I can ever remember for a basketball team. Nelly fell out of a damn golf cart

UK 2.0 came together late in the season.

Can't hate 'em, they're our kids and coaches.

Good luck.
