South Region Prediction:

Kansas prevails in the South region. They will take down Western Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan,and Georgetown on their way to their second straight Final Four.

I really hope that happens, except replace Georgetown with Florida..... it would be two weekends of great basketball.

I would absolutely agree with this sentiment.

Chiefs Pantalones · 03-17-2013, 09:30 PM

@SethDavisHoops: My Final Four picks ICYMI: Louisville, New Mexico, Kansas, Miami. Louisville over Miami

Lol I think KU matches up great with both Miami and Louisville. Siva is terrible.

Surprised the time is already out. Usually they don't set those until monday.

I'm a KU homer and can admit the genius that is Bill Snyder at KSU. I'm curious if KSU fans recognize the same in Bill Self?

It was a great day when Roy left, as butt hurt as I was about it at the time.

Imon Yourside · 03-17-2013, 10:53 PM

I'm not a big fan of our bracket to start, I love it after the 1st weekend though.

chiefsfan987 · 03-18-2013, 12:19 AM

Anybody else rooting for every Big 12 team in the tournament aside from KU to bow out in their first game? After browsing the Big 12 message boards the KU butthurt is so strong. Eff em. I hope they all lose their opening game.

KC_Connection · 03-18-2013, 01:44 AM

KU's projected opponents and their 3PA%/national rank in 3PA% (bolded top 100):
WKU (36.4%, 78)
UNC (30.7%, 243)/Villanova (35.3%, 108)
Michigan (34.0%, 151)/South Dakota St. (36.4%, 78)/Akron (36.6%, 71)/VCU (36.2%, 83)
Florida (40.4%, 31)/Northwestern St. (29.7%, 267)/Minnesota (29.7%, 268)/UCLA (23.8%, 334)/SDSU (32.4%, 187)/OU (26.4%, 311)/Georgetown (32.6%, 184)/Florida Gulf Coast (34.8%, 125)

For reference, 43.9% of ISU's shots are threes (9th ranked nationally). The more threes a team take, the more difficult it is for KU's defense to make a major impact on the game and the more luck there is involved in the outcome. While WKU isn't a good team (183 in KenPom), they're kind of a difficult 16 in that regard. As for the 2nd round, UNC is playing quite well recently so that could potentially be a difficult game, but their style (quick, many possessions, lower percentage of threes) plays more into what KU does than most of these teams. Florida would prove to be a really difficult opponent in the E8 if both teams get that far as they limit the possessions and also take a ton of threes.

KC_Connection · 03-18-2013, 02:44 AM

WKU (183) is also the 4th worst team in the field according to KenPom (behind three teams that are in play-in games: Liberty (251), NC A&T (226), LIU Brooklyn (185)). His system gives KU a 95% chance of winning on Friday.

Of course, KU lost to a worse team than this during the regular season already, so nothing is guaranteed. And obviously a worse team than WKU even won a game last year (Norfolk St.). Playing in KC certainly won't hurt their chances, though.

Meh. I like to see the Big 12 as a whole do well in the tourney, but I don't lose sleep over anyone else losing.

You worried about ole Roy in the 2nd game? He's a great coach but at the same time Bill Self seems to have his number. Not saying the UNC couldn't beat us. They definitely could. But I just think the odds are definitely in KU's favor should that matchup happen.

On the other hand, we could end up playing Villanova. I don't know much about 'Nova.
