08:03 AM ET 01.15 | Is it getting late early for Kentucky? If today were Selection Sunday, the men's basketball Wildcats (10-5) have very little in their profile -- other than their name -- to suggest they deserve an invitation to the NCAA Tournament. ... [UK has only one win] over teams in the top 150. ... UK's strongest argument for NCAA tourney inclusion presently are close defeats to Duke (No. 1 in RPI) on a neutral floor and Louisville (No. 8 in RPI) on the road. ... Another reason to worry about Kentucky's NCAA tourney chances is that the Southeastern Conference is hardly a target-rich environment for potential "quality wins." The SEC has five teams currently ranked below 150 in the RPI. It has only two teams, No. 9 Florida and No. 23 Missouri, in the top 40.

With the talent they have, I can't see them not making the tournament unless they just want to to miss it on purpose and throw it away. JMO

It's time for Ashley to do another tuckus shot. It'll boost motivation (for the issuers of invititations).

That is correct.
And UTk's squad is on pace to be the most unwatchable in recent history.

Injury bug getting bad on us, though, so we could have a rough stretch here.

Cat's will make tournament....still 15/16 conference games to play....they will peak at SEC tournament time and run the table with automatic qualifier....they are just raw talent now...six more weeks and they will be a force....

After getting used to watching Bruce Ball, of which layups and 3 pointers were the only shots taken, it is hard to watch this grind em down defensively combined with NO offense stuff that Cuonzo is showcasing.

Is it just my observation being wrong or does it seem that Stokes plays in a slow-motion mode? to be that big and not be aggressive is unbelievable....he has talent, he's just not putting it into his play....

you would be correct. I don't know what happened with Stokes. I was so excited about watching him play this year and he is sluggish and looks uninterested half the time. But your guess is as good as mine as to the reason for that.

So funny talking to my Kentucky friends that this is a "young" team with all the freshman that they have. Funny thing is they were even "younger" last year. Noel has been a huge disappointment filling in for Davis and nobody seems to care if they play or not. Losing to Baylor and Texas A&M at home is inexcusable. The Jayhawks (a young team by the way) proved that last night how to whip Baylor at home. I would love to see Kentucky miss the tourney.
