If KU gets a 2, I will shit myself and not change my drawers for weeks. No freaking way. Do you know how you can get 7 teams to lose in the first round? Invite 7 Big 10 teams to the tournament. What a joke. I don't see anyway possible that the Big East doesn't get three #1 seeds this year. That has got to be some sort of record. |

I think conference tournaments are a known commodity by the committee. It seems that over the past few years the positions in the tourney are based on a season of work, not a meaningless tournament. Yeah, a Baylor can get in, but TX, OU, KU losing doesn't cause the Baylors of the world to get into the tourney (unless they win), or something equally stupid like a TX, OU, KU moving down to lower seeding because they lost to a team that had everything to win and nothing to lose in a one-and-done tourney.

There are always tons of upsets in post season tournaments. Look it up. So, this tournament's result will mean Baylor will get in the tournament? ****ing BAYLOR! Big deal! If MU wins, they were in already. Who ****ing cares? I'm pretty sure the usual suspects from the Big XII will be in the dance.

As one of the biggest KU fans on this board I don't think we deserve better than a 3 seed and I wouldn't be offended by a 4 or 5.

No way we are getting a 5. I think a high 3 or a low 4 is in line. KU has a good resume, but when you lose to two teams that aren't even going to make the tournament in your last 4 games, you don't deserve a 2 seed. I don't care if we get a 2-4 seed as long as we are in Kansas City. I would actually prefer a 4 seed going to KC, and if we get to the Sweet 16 we get to play UNC. I would love that.

I agree with BWillie that a 5 is low... just said I wouldn't be offended by it after losing to Baylor and TTU. I wouldn't think being defending champs should have anything to do with seedings for this year. It should be based soley on this years team.

It's TV. They want ratings. KU is a well known commodity. I think it will be a 3 seed and I've followed the selections for more years than I care to admit. There are always head-scratching picks/seeds/destinations that make no sense. We'll see.

When was this updated?
I'd jump for joy if Mizzou ended up as a 3 seed. I still think there's a good chance we'll be a 4 even if we win today. |
