Say what you will about KU getting the Midwest, but the KC regional is a good ticket to have, with a chance to see Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas. That would be damn good for a Final Four.

Today's memory on facebook: "Holy crap." -3/18/12
A classic Self team, pulling a win out of their collective ass against Purdue... on their way to beating #1 seed UNC and reaching the NC game. Those games surely shortened my lifespan, but I do miss the toughness. |

It goes without saying, but this is a difficult draw. The Midwest regional location only matters if you get there and there's a less than 50/50 chance that Kansas does. To start, Northeastern is one of the most efficient shooting team in the country (5th in effective field goal percentage). More crucially for our purposes, they both take and make a ton of threes. 46.3% of their shot attempts come from behind the arc (22nd in the country) and they make them at a 38.8% clip (14th in the country). As some have been fond of pointing out, this KU team struggles to guard the three (not so much percentage wise but they allow teams to shoot 41.4% of their shots from there which is well below average). Northeastern also play a four guard lineup, which has proven to be the death of Self teams several times in the past and will likely require an adjustment in our own lineup (Dotson/Grimes/Agbaji/Garrett/Lawson). In sum, these guys are basically Villanova-lite and we will need them to miss a lot more shots than they generally make to survive even to Saturday.

Gotta be able to shoot 3's in the tournament.
KU can't hit 3's for shit...can't play perimeter defense worth a shit either. In fact I'm not sure there's one thing that Kansas actually does "well". This team is just horrific on the road. It would be cool to see KU/UNC at Sprint Center...there's a very slim to no chance of that happening though, not w/ this team.

Better than I thought. Basically drew Villanova in the first round. |

Now watch Northeastern drop 15 threes and beat us by 10.

Nothing would shock me about this years squad. This could happen, or we could make a run past the S16 with just about as much probability.
Roy's pretty much been owned by Bill, so if we make it to KC, we can probably book the E8.

They shoot a lot of 3s, so it's possible.
But, that's true of a lot of teams these days... if Northeastern is "Villanova-lite", there are probably at least 10 Villanova-lites (and of course, Villanova), including Auburn and New Mexico State. |

Snore. We are vs the following, per sagarin
1) Northeastern -11.5 2) Auburn +1 3) UNC + 6 4) Kent +2.5 Cumulatively that’s low odds to win all 4, but individually? Each is possible, not shocking at all. |
