Good News for 2/3 of the State.



Don't go jumping head first off of Memorial just yet Wildcat fans, but word got out that UK has lost three straight conference home games, and are indeed PREDICTED to be on the outside of the NCAA's looking in.  I myself find this hard to happen, and I'm sure someone here knows how many consecutive years the Cats have been to the tourney, but apparently CBS doesn't think having two potential All-Americans will get you into even being considered in the infamous 'Last Four Out' category.  I know most are offended by my pro-Louisville stances, but when I tell people in New York that I am from Kentucky I am proud to hear, "Oh Kentucky? You must like basketball..." as the first response to my birthplace. So rest assured Cats fans, though the feelings aren't mutual, I hope the highest success for all teams representing our great Commonwealth.
 
On the other side of the basketball mecca known simply as KY, UofL, which was just completely dominated at home by UConn, received a #1 seed.  I myself would be more than pleased to make it out of our juggernaut of a conference with a 3 seed.  

Also, fresh off a sweet 16 performance and a respectable showing against Kevin
 Love's UCLA Bruins, the lovable Hilltoppers are picked to win the Sun Belt again. 

 I see this as a great topic to spend a couple of days discussing on the comment section below. 

My predictions within the state teams:
Louisville- (13-3 conference record) #2 seed
Kentucky- (11-5) (SEC tourney champ) #5 seed
WKU- Sun Belt Tourney Champion #13 seed
