    Pretty funny that Maryland is ranked 8th in the country.

    They were blown out by Iowa and Ohio State and many of their wins are very narrow ones. They have two good wins (Wisconsin and Iowa State) and three bad losses (the two aforementioned routs and also getting blown out by Indiana).

    Tough one. I don't think they should be in. The only thing they have going for them is that they haven't lost to anyone bad but I think there should be something to be said for how you play down the stretch and they haven't been good. Idk. they are a real tough one. Maybe they get the last 4 in and play on tuesday, maybe

    they used to place an emphasis on last 10 games but don't do that anymore.

    They should go back to that IMO. I understand why they got rid of it, but they shouldn't put teams in who are reeling

    Sounds like another one of those "Kentucky struggles......then pulls away at the end" type of games.

    Prior to their (Fla. St.) Rose Bowl loss, UK at times has been been looking like Fla. St. did in football this year.

    it's probably going to bite them one of these games, better to happen in SEC Tourney than NCAA's for them.

    Lunardi updated bracket for today, moved Carolina from 5 in UK's region to 4 in duke's region. amazingly after 2 blowout losses SJU has not moved off the 7 line. I don't get it.
