I don't think KU should get a #2 seed, but they deserve a #2 seed just as much if not more so than Oklahoma. KU has more wins over top 25 rpi teams. If anybody gets a #2 seed from the Big 12, it better be Missouri.

I don't ever want to see Missouri play in Boise again.

I love how teams that are on the bubble complain. If you can't make a 64 team tournament sit down shut up and **** you.

I'd agree with you if it was the best 65 teams in the tournament. But it's not.

Mizzou and OU should be swapped, but I guess the Tigers don't have any superstars that would get 60% camera time and interviews with the parents even if he wasn't playing. :shrug:

Kansas is probably safe as a 3... Syracuse had an epic tournament run, but didn't have any huge signature wins in the regular season. FSU had a good tourney run and beat a Lawson-less UNC, but didn't have any huge wins outside of the Clemson Collapse.

I like at the way it is because I don't want a tournament with the 65 best teams. You would have a first round upset all the time. Instead of a #1 - #4 seed playing Morgan State, you would have to play a Kentucky or a Baylor.

The reason why shitty teams are in there is to protect the #1 thru 4 seeds mainly. There's not a huge reward in college basketball as it is for how well you play in the regular season. Because as long as you are the top 34 at-large teams..you have a shot at the championship.
