UK and Wisconsin should make the FF. Two best teams in the country this year in my mind. As to who comes out on the other side, I don't know.

So, in addition to UK/WSU/ND shit, KU has a 15 seed that is better than all the other 15s, three 14s, two 13s, and two 12s.

Oh, and you see now ISU? The Big 12 tourney had no bearing on seed. Didn't even get Omaha. Cool story.

Had to guess the name on the front of the Jersey helped too.

True enough, but they're also a team that can beat KU on its best day too. When I was looking at potential 14-16 seeds last night, they were the team I least wanted to play. Huge difference between them (88 in KenPom) and a team like Texas Southern (207 in KenPom) for example despite being the same seed.

Don't really care, TBH. Easy games are apparently overrated for this university.

We've had the bracket open up too many times and shit the bed for me to really get too bent out of shape.

Just win the game in front of you.

Screw play-in games. We beat Gonzaga and are repaid with a 1st round Ole Miss matchup. ****.

Mormons don't drink Coke, Budweiser or Starbucks and can't do anything fun on Sundays. No shocker they aren't given any favors in an exhibition tournament that prioritizes making money over competitive fairness or balance.

EDIT: forgot beer.

Add in they are boring and that's a good post.

Four of the top 15 in OReb% are Big 12 teams. We’re at least used to it lol.

@KUTheShiver: Coach Self said if this KU team gets a shot at the Elite 8 game - "then it's been a hell of a season" #kubball

Ceej 03-15-2015 05:19 PM

@mctait

Self: If this team gets a chance to play in the E8 game, then it's been a hell of a year. Let's just call it like it is.

EDIT -- Beat me! :)

I love the possible wsu/ku game. Good for that to actually happen.

The point, though, is that nobody should be surprised if this version of KU loses to this particular #15. A definite possibility.

Oh, we're definitely used to it. Still have no way to deal with it, though, especially without Cliff.

I would be shocked. Yes, they're under-seeded, but we are battle tested. We'll find a way to win.
