LMAO, the UNC Roy-Boys are looking to go into the half down by 11

Sure, it matters on a message board... does it matter to the committe though? Outside of something obvious, like KU beating OSU without Sulliger, I doubt they really look into each game and how each team was playing at the time. IIRC, KU only moved up like one spot for beating OSU and didn't jump them in the polls, and I believe OSU has always been higher in kenpom... so, any of those assumptions regarding what they were ranked at the time, who wasn't playing, etc; was already taken into account when they played.

Who gives a **** whether we are a 1 or 2 seed. I just want them to play in St Louis.

KU and MU split. How would you assess the other conference losses?

You're forgetting that the Big 12 Tourney only means something when KU wins it. Once they lose it becomes nothing more than a fundraiser and a just for fun thing.

As conference losses, nothing more, nothing less. It's like playing teams in your division in football. They are usually tough regardless of who is playing. And no they didn't split. One team played 33 games, one played 34.

Let me know when there's a D1 football tourney, and I'll lend a little credence to that position.

So how would the seeding been effected had Kansas played in the finals last night and lost to Missouri?

UK tied with Vande at the half.

I think it would have assured KU losing the #1 seed. But hey, those tourneys, they don't mean anything, remember?

I just don't see how they can be rewarded with a 1 seed for not making the finals, but had they made the finals, the 1 seed would have had a greater chance of being lost

Please link to any time I ever posted anything of the sort. I congratulated Mizzou for the post-season conference title this year just like I did a few years ago, just as Mizzou fans congratulated KU for winning the regular season. I would have loved to see KU/MU match up again. For one week in March, MU was the better team. For two months, I'd argue KU was the better team. We'll see how things go from here.

Ask the guy in the alternate dimension two over to the left.

Meh, I remember MU fans talking about SoS, KU's weak schedule, not playing OU and Texas, etc... it goes both ways, since that all of a sudden doesn't matter nearly as much as # of wins.

It's pretty much even... yeah, MU has more wins, but KU lost to Kentucky and Duke in non-conference, and the committee isn't going to drop them a line for those losses, while MU was beating Notre Dame and Cal. MU lost to Oklahoma State and KSU twice, and you can talk about how it's different because it's in conference, but KU didn't lose those games.

No one should be surprised where either school winds up, outside of something really dumb like a 3 seed in the East. KU could have beat Davidson and Baylor and really help solidify their case for a #1 in St. Louis... Missouri could have done better in conference, and whether you say they could have played someone in non-con or "but, those teams were supposed to be good", they ended up with a non-con SoS in the bottom 10% of the country. One will probably get the #2 in St. Louis, one will probably get the #1 in Phoenix, or maybe they'll both go outside of the region while Kentucky and OSU go to the Midwest.

That's how they do things in Larryville.
