I'll probably find the time to keep daily updated brackets in the thread. In the mean time, who do you have winning it all? Kentucky a lock? Teams lose. So I don't think so. I truly believe undefeated hurts you going into The Dance.

Virginia's head coach Tony Bennett comes from Wazzu and I remember being happy the day he left even though I wondered why Virginia? Not rooting for them. I really don't know.

I expect Kansas to not make the sweet 16 potentially. Definitely not a championship contender (which would make it all the sweeter should they defy the odds).

Did they NCAA ever explain why WSU was seeded a 7?

It's been said over and over again this year that this is Self's weakest team ever.

They've overachieved, but still lack the toughness that the morris twins or t-rob had.

Six points in the paint for both teams.

That said, besides Lucas, we're SOFT.....so who knows.

Like I said, we need someone to get hot from 3. Selden has been a no-show thus far.

Maybe casual fans. The KU fans on this board seemed pretty realistic.

WSU is even better at limiting 2PT scoring than KU. Teams only shoot 42% against them (11th in the nation). Perry has the ability to exploit his own matchup advantage, but he's not doing it.

I've noted no over confidence from their fans this year. A loss here won't surprise too many.

That's why I can't see either team going very far in the tournament

Which disappears when their front court gets into foul trouble. Just like they did against IU and now KU.

I saw several earlier this week talking about WSU like they were Washburn University. Completely overmatched. It was laughable.

I don't think there's a single KU fan on this board that I world classify as overconfident this season.

Underseeded them by 3 in order to play KU. Of course, they were never going to say as much.

Chiefs Pantalones · 03-22-2015, 04:17 PM

I know Self despises pick and rolls for some reason but what could this WSU defense do against a Frank/Perry P&R all day?

Don't think that was anybody here. If it was, they probably were joking.

I figured they would put them in the same bracket but I didn't think they would purposely seed them that low just to get the game in the third(second)round.

That is the ONLY reason to seed them a 7.
