They've been close a few times. Vandy matches up well with them.

Vandy might be a 4-5.
Take a look at FSU's nonconference resume.

Non conference SOS of 35 and RPI of 47. They have terrible losses to Clemson and BC in conference but they have 2 wins over both UNC and Duke. I'd say that is pretty impressive.

Understood, but they finished strong. Nobody has a flawless resume this year.

Vanderbilt was a good team for UK to be "humbled" by today.

If anyone noticed, UK got zoned the last 6 minutes of that game and Lamb, Miller and Teague fired up brick after brick.

This has been the stigma used against UK being a title favorite. It showed up today. They couldn't hit shots and lost.

They will have to disprove everyone with that going forward.

I think a loss is good for a young team like Kentucky that probably was starting to think they were invincible.

Jay Williams picks Duke "by far" as the first 1-2 seed to lose first. Katz and Gottlieb agree.

A little surprised Jay would go that way though. At least with that much conviction.
