Since KU moves to Louisville, Xavier can't be there, too (105 miles away).
That leaves OU or Villanova in Louisville.

OK, that all makes some sense. But explain away facing the best #16 seed instead of the worst (by their own rankings)?

Any word on the game time for Thursday yet?

I didn't because I couldn't... the only thing I can think of would be knowing your opponent versus waiting, but then they should be playing Hampton.

I agree. After the first game every team is vulnerable to a motivated team if they try to phone it in and not bring their "A" game.

You get to the sweet 16 you are going to play someone tough. Elite 8 someone capable of winning against anyone.

Our path is way better than North Carolina. I'd rather play Maryland, Cali, UConn etc than a Big 12 team again.

Chiefs Pantalones · 03-13-2016, 08:54 PM

We're a top-2 seed for the 7th straight season, the longest streak in NCAA Tournament history

Why? KU owns the Big 12. I'd much rather play those schools that we're already prepared for and know how to beat than ones we aren't.

Jay Bilas picking KU, A&M, UNC, MSU for the Final Four. Picks KU to beat UNC.

TCU fired Trent Johnson. Assuming Ford goes as well, that's two new coaches in the conference next season. KSU, of course, remains stuck with Bruce (after missing the NIT).

I heard the talking heads saying that the Big 12 would be split up in the tournament because it was unfair to as them to play each other early in the tournament. Doesn't really matter though does it, the field is set.

We have no idea that Maryland or Cali even makes it to us. Shit happens in the tournament.

Who gives a ****. We can beat anyone. So just go do it.
