  Article in FiveThirtyEight on ESPN site showing that this year was fairly light on upsets as compared to most years - many fewer real upsets than the last two tournaments. Baylor and ISU were about it; well, along with SMU getting hosed. Chalk prevailed for the most part. So, let’s hope Rock Chalk does, as well.

  @KUinLA You make some good points. The longer term results are better indicators than the upsets in any one individual year. The Big 12 appears o be strong year in and year out…a deep conference with good teams…but without any elite teams…other than, for the most part, KU. I take exception when the announcers, pundits, etc. say that, as a result of the 1st round upsets this year, it proves the Big 12 is not strong.

  @Lulufulu Thanks. Here is the record book for the regular season. NCAA Regular Season Records http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/2015/DivI.pdf Again, lots of great stuff. I really like the model of consistency of Kansas basketball depicted on page 52. And the info on page 49 about vacated wins is certainly interesting…especially when the Calipari / Big Blue Nation contingents try to tell us how corrupt Kansas basketball is.

  @bskeet Dayton finished 2nd in regular conference (Davidson was first) and lost in the Tournament title game to VCU who ended up seeded 7. Dayton was projected as a #7-#8 seed in all pre-selection brackets and instead got a #11 seed and had to play in a play-in game which really should have not had to play…If you consider being underseeded and having to go though a playing game getting a break…then I don’t know what to say to that…of course I am a little biased, but just a little.

  Thanks for the insights. I know I can read stuff and see highlights, but I trust KU fans opinions more than anything. It sounds like KU is finding it’s stride.

  @Crimsonorblue22 I personally don’t want to play anyone, I rather watch someone else play on my big screen TV and from the comfort of my easy chair…:) Just kidding, part of me wants to play WSU and lay a good a$$-whooping on them and shut them up for a while, but I also understand that we might have a much less motivated team in IU than we would in WSU and I we also match up better against IU.

  @KUinLA A"tidal wave"of no calls would only occur, IF there there were a tidal wave of no calls that were verifiable on replay, right? Because each request of a no call review would cost the requesting team 2 points when nothing was found, right? So there would never be a tidal wave of no call challenges unless… OMG! @KUinLA, are you suggesting there are a “tidal wave” of No Calls that are occurring? Good morning.
