Sure, but very unlikely. Kentucky continues to show they can't come through the clutch. Friday they made so many mistakes in crucial moments, it's hard to keep track. Randolph Morris missed two free throws with 17 seconds left in regulation. That would have put Kentucky up 4. Then comes the lane violation with Sheray Thomas backing off the line. Tubby took responsiblity because he was calling for Thomas to move. That set up the game-tying three at the buzzer.

Jodie Meeks has been the best freshman of the bunch down the strech, but he missed an easy lay-up and Mississppi State took it the other way for the go-ahead bucket in overtime. A turnover in the final seconds was a fitting ending. So what now? One positive is the way Randolph Morris asserted himself in Atlanta. But he needs help in the Big Dance. Kentucky will probably be an 8 or 9 seed when the brackets come out Sunday. That would mean, even if UK wins it's first-round game, they'd have a #1 seed in the 2nd round. Just like last year. And another tournament without even getting to the Sweet 16. Let's just say it would be another long off-season.

As for Atlanta, the Georgia Dome is a great place for the tournament. I was there in 2002 when Indiana made it to the NCAA Title game. Downtown in Atlanta was buzzing with the Big Blue fans before Friday's loss. Then after, many were either trying to unload their tickets or drink away their sorrows. Now we wait for the brackets to come out. Feel free to voice your thoughts once the draw comes out.
