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).

Glad you're so confident in this group. I'm not at all. Maybe they'll surprise me.

I don't think we're going to shock the world with a Final Four or anything, but we're good and gritty enough to get out of the first weekend. Beyond that, I have no idea. Depends on what happens with the bracket, I guess.

I would consider *that* shocking the world.

Personally, I'm a smidge more confident in this group after the B12 tournament. At least from a defensive and rebounding standpoint.

Can't believe our draw. Oh well. Gonna be tough. But we won the league with three No. 3 seeds and we get the hardest draw of all No. 2 seeds. Bring it.

I find myself saying something similar after this draw. The most difficult possible matchups in each of the first 4 rounds.

At least it happened in a year without any expectations.

Maybe. ISU still gutted them on the inside yesterday.

ROYC75 · 03-15-2015, 06:02 PM

I wanted UK again, but not in the same bracket.....

Oh well, was going to have to meet them somewhere to win it all .

KU has a lot of work to do to get there, that side is brutal.

For all who has forgotten, Huggy has a way with UK teams. UK has an off night it wouldn't surprise me at all to see WV knock them off.

One thing I do feel strongly about, put UK in the Big 12 this year and they would have 3 to 4 losses.

Just really Niang.

I mean, I'm comparing their improvement from @WVU until now. Not a drastic improvement, but improvement.

I think they might actually match up better with WSU than NMSU. But, we'll see.

I think they do. I suspect they'll beat WSU if that's the game.

Chiefs Pantalones · 03-15-2015, 06:07 PM

KU opens as a KenPom 9 point favorite over NMSU.

Van Vleet v. Yogi will be fun to watch.

I really don't know much about Indiana other than him. I think KU matches up well with both of their potential second game opponents.
