You know, they say a loss never helps but as bad as the Tarheels played the last 3 days, they need some reality slapped back in their heads...

They aren't going far this year with a Fresh at point guard....
Duke will last until a team with a decent inside game meets them.

Holy crap. I sure hope he's wrong.

Beyond that, it is just too hard to predict exactly who will be in each region, and the experts don't do a good job predicting that.

How do you think we match up with Kentucky?

Dang! The round mound of rebound is getting rounder.

honestly not sure, I did not watch a single kentucky game this season.

Usually I watch a lot of basketball and roughly know what most of the top teams look like, but this year I was busy and mailed it in a bit. Saw several KU games, caught a few other odd games that looked interesting (seriously, SD State is a good team, I'll be stunned if they are out in the first weekend), and thats it.

Maybe that will help me in the office pool this year, since of course the ones who win that typically don't know what they are doing. For example, I'm seriously thinking about picking Richmond to the sweet 16 simply because having a spider as a mascot is cool. I have no idea if they are really any good or not.

Question...If Ohio State loses are they still the #1 overall seed to the committee?

probably, unless the committee had us overall #1 all along. The reason we moved our championship game to saturday is because our championship game winner wasn't given any credit for the last win. They obviously have to have a plan ready to go for Penn State if they weren't already picked as an at-large, but if Ohio State is the overall #1 now, losing today wont change that.

I just don't see how they can be the #1 overall seed regardless of what happens. IMO, our body of work is a lot better. All the talk I've heard from the media is that OSU is the #1 overall seed, but that's the media. I just don't see how they get it after what we have done...but oh well lol

KU has really been an afterthought through all of this. They always ask the experts who the number one is and it's always OSU despite the relative similarity in resume to KU. There is at least an argument there, but no one is having it.

FWIW, Barkley isn't too high on OSU. He wants them to play a good team he says lol

According to Joe lunardi, KSU should make it to the sweet sixteen as a six seed. Up against michigan state and winner plays BYU or Wofford. JMO

So is this the preemptive KU gets the hardest bracket thread?

This isn't phog.net, I'm a huge KU fan but there have been years where I looked at it and said "sweet, looks easy!" (faceplant in the 2nd round), or "eh, about right, glad we're not in that other bracket", and then years where I thought we got screwed.

The preemptive whining about the KU fans whining begins.
