[Observing]

A lot of wacky talk is making the rounds now that Noel is out.
Gloom and doom UK fans already have us in the NIT, and a
bunch of talking head types are piling on too. But as of
today, the Wildcats are firmly in the NCAA. If the field
were set this afternoon, UK would be in with no worries.

That being said however, the potential for a move in either
direction exists. If the Cats respond poorly to the loss of Noel,
and fall apart, of course they can play themselves out.
Another home loss to anyone but the Gators makes it
dicey, and if they don't get one of the three left on the road,
that will make it tight too. But if they respond positively,
with a little "rally around boys", there's no reason to expect
that they won't get the 3 other home wins and pick off one
of the 3 road games left, and probably get an SEC tntm.
win. Which would leave them comfortably in just as they
are today.
