They might, but KU is not a 2 seed quality team without Embiid. I'd have no problem with the committee dropping them a seed line.

Of course, it's also hard to make a definitive statement about the quality of a team based on a very small sample size of games (which this will be in this case) and thus also hard to justify much of a change. |

A co-worker of mine said that he heard on the radio that Embiid's parents were upset at Self for not getting a second opinion sooner.
Any truth to that? |

“On March 1, at Oklahoma State, Jo late in the game hurt his back, and at the conclusion of the game, after being diagnosed in the locker room by our medical staff, I asked the staff how Jo was doing,” Self said. “They told me, ‘Bill, we think he has the symptoms of someone who has a stress fracture.’ That was approximately 11 p.m. We got home at 5 a.m. and at 7:30 March 2, Sunday, he was receiving an MRI. The MRI was read by an independent radiologist that contacted our staff and confirmed at approximately 12 noon that he had developed a stress fracture.” At 1 p.m. that day, Self said he, KU’s medical staff, and Embiid met to discuss the results. That evening, Self said, he and the medical staff visited with a spine specialist who has worked, “with NBA teams and is very familiar with this exact injury. He confirmed the diagnosis and worked with our doctors jointly on a rehab program.” On March 3, Self said, Embiid’s family was contacted in Cameroon and was told, “that Jo had developed a stress fracture and that it was confirmed by multiple doctors, but if they wanted to in any way, shape or form get a second opinion, we would do that with any student-athlete.” The family later informed KU that they wanted a specific spine specialist in Los Angeles to look at Embiid. The doctor fit the 7-footer into his schedule this past Monday. “He (the LA specialist) confirmed what we already knew, that he had a stress fracture in his lower back,” Self said. “The diagnosis and treatment plan has never changed. And all physicians are in agreement that Jo should not play until his symptoms allow him to play.” KU delayed the announcement on the stress fracture until after Embiid saw the Los Angeles spine specialist.

This team is not very good on defense. They are going nowhere without Embiid.

I'm really not sure where people are getting this. According to Self, Embiid practically threw a tantrum when the coaching staff told him that he wouldn't be allowed to play. That says to me that he wants to play.

I don't know about that. I mean, yes, they've earned it. But the committee also takes into account injuries when seeding.

I think if we get a win the Big 12 tourney & overall play decently, we get the 2 in the Midwest. We lose the first game to OSU looking horrible while we do it, we'll drop to a 3. |

Agreed. I'll even add that I think if KU wins a couple games in the tourney but not win the championship game they will be a 2 seed.
