No great 

If James Madison had played ANY kind of non-conference schedule they might have an argument at 21-3, but it was putrid.  Opened up with that win at Michigan State but then it was a downright putrid schedule after that.  347th non-conference schedule by Pom and might have been last overall if they hadn't played Michigan State.  Outside of MSU, their best win is probably over Southern Illinois on a neutral court, and the Salukis are in the middle of the MVC standings.  James Madison getting swept by Appalachian State is really damaging.

Which sucks. And they'll get royally screwed on Selection Sunday.

Maybe but when your SOS is in the 300’s and 15 of your 21 wins are against teams in the Q4 group you pretty much can’t have any slip ups and they have.   Not saying it’s right and i  think both teams could win a game but that’s the life for a mid major.

The natives are getting restless in Lexington.

Don't count out Calipari bolting for a different job if UK gets bounced early from the tournament, especially with the expectations set by this freshman class.

Maybe we end up with Fland after all.

It does suck. And I get for those small schools it can get tough to schedule games, especially if they feel you're good enough to beat them. They do have the losses to Southern Miss and App St twice but looking at the bubble, plenty of other teams obviously have multiple Q3/Q4 losses. They just get the privilege of playing in a bigger conference. James Madison and App St would be some bad luck to run into as 13-15 seeds.

Hopefully one of them wins the Sun Belt con fence tourney.    Troy is playing better lately so they could throw a wrench into that plan
