Remember that Louisville did pretty good against Kentucky. Only a 71-62 game loss on the road against the 3rd best team in the nation at that time (who is now #1 by the way:Clap I think Louisville can be an 8 or 9 seed seeing that the Big East is pretty strong this year.

By the way, I would probably put Villanova as a #1 seed instead of Syracuse. Of course, we'll let Villanova and Syracuse decide who should be a #1 seed on February 27:redboxer:.

How much did UK's close loss at UL last year (a 1 seed) help their chances of getting in the NCAA?

A "bad loss" (Seton Hall, West Carolina, Charlotte) is 4X more detrimental than a "good loss" is beneficial.

Right now UL's best win on the entire season is WKU.... that tells you everything you need to know.
