Dana O’Neil: An inside look at a blueblood on the bubble – ESPN.

This makes me sad for many reasons.

1. You’ll notice that the only time Kentucky appears in this bracket is in reference to Western Kentucky. While WKU makes me happy, UK should be there as well.
2. SEC only has 3 teams in the mix predicted. Why does that matter? Well, despite my detest for dispicable teams like Florida, I will always cheer for an SEC team over a non-SEC team. It makes the conference look good.
3. Pac-10 and Mountain West both have 5 teams. They get 5. SEC gets 3. Seriously, what has happened to basketball?

Am I a basketball snob? Yes. Yes.  I. Am.

I’m going to go cry until 1pm tomorrow when I leave for Spring Training and then get to be happy again until the reality sinks in on Sunday night that Kentucky, without a miracle, will not be going to the NCAA tournament this year.

However, seeing as how God is a Kentucky basketball fan, there is part of me that remains hopefully–even if no one took my prayer request for them to make it seriously this week.
