I think if they finish strong, they would be deserving of a #5 or #6... between #17-24 overall. As said in another thread, it'll be a great March, because there are no expectations.
I hate ESPN for loving Kentucky so much... they are not one of the top 35 teams in the nation. After KU smacked them around, it was all about "the Kentucky loss"... and even after talking about how they barely beat Iona and Central Florida at home, they would say they had a good chance of getting in. They have the same chance as KU to get better and prove they belong before selection Sunday, but they haven't done it yet. Teams shouldn't get in because they're KU or UK, no matter what the fan base or ESPN says.
