UK, UofL Discover Tourney Fates

Oh, Selection Sunday, one of the greatest days of the year. I got to my car after UK’s win in the SEC Tournament to final at about 2:40 PM Central with a singular goal in mind: to make it home in time for the Selection Show. I had two hours and 20 minutes to make a two and half hour drive, also having to fill up with gas along the way.

I didn’t quite make my goal, but I walked in my door at about 6:06 Eastern, in plenty of time to see UK’s region unveiled. We will obviously have tons of coverage all week, but here’s the situations of the ‘Cats and Cards.
