I appreciate that mindset, and most of that comes from the sheer-unbeatable nature of this UK team right now. We don't really have to fear anyone because, as you said, there's only one MAYBE two teams in the whole country who can contend with us if we are playing at a high level.

But with that being said, I think the bigger point is not whether we think K-St can beat us, but whether we think they are the toughest of the 8/9 seeds. Right now, I think they probably are. Or at least, they have enough talent to make things interesting. The other possibilities are California and UVA, but I think K-St probably has more ability at their peak than either of those two.

So the bigger issue is who has the "toughest" lower seeds in their bracket. I think if you compare 2-9 in each round, the current ATL bracket is by far the toughest.

Which line would you rather see:

2-UNC, 3- Baylor, 4-Louisville, 5-Wichita St, 6-Murray St, 7-San Diego St, 8-Purdue, 9-K. St

2-Duke, 3-Michigan, 4-Indiana, 5-UNLV, 6-Vandy, 7-Gonzaga, 8-Virginia, 9-St. Louis

Is that really even a comparison? lol
