^ that makes zero sense, NONE! Nothing is a lock - the 1991 UNLV team was a lock, but they lost! I could give a crap about a lock. Put teams in front of the Cats, and STOP worrying about who it is! As for Cal, and everyone knows how much I despise him, he is going NOWHERE! The only way he is ever ran out of Lexington is if violations come this way, so that is completely off base to think a program in it's first two years goes to the Elite 8 and Final Four, and now they better win it all or else???? C'mon, that is WAY off base!

[B]My point is that UK fans need to not worry about match-ups! Who cares, beat who is in front of you. I'd sure as hell feel less angst if UK lost to Syracuse than I would if they lost to "Oklahoma Institute for the Lilliputens", I could care less who is in UK's bracket![/B]

Thats were we are disagreeing.... Basketball is all about Match-ups... You have to worry about match-ups... All coaches worry about how they are going to match-up against each other.
