And obviously they'd throw UCLA as the #2. It's 2007 all over again. Committee screwed us BAD.

Best time of the year. Your doom and gloom predictions.

I absolutely love reading them.

KU should handle Howard but they do have length.

Welp been a nice year but after seeing that bracket I don’t see how we have what it takes to get past Howard.

Worst draw KU has ever gotten in one of these.

Not even getting into the danger that is Howard (and we will), they've got a ton of underseeded teams in their bracket: Arkansas (20 in KP) in R32, Connecticut (4 in KP)/St. Mary's (11 in KenPom) in S16, and UCLA (2 in KP) in E8.

I’ll be waiting to see the KCC tweets with the metrics on how impossible this region is.

This is assuming no one gets upset right?

They've thrown us the #2, #4, #11, and #20 teams in KenPom in our road and threw us out west with UCLA. Committee clearly didn't like that Self won the title last year and want to avoid that outcome again.
