I just watched 2 replays of Northeastern and I’m not impressed. A 2/3 zone defense that’s easily penetrated with a drive. #12 shoots the ball quickly and only 3’s. #22 launches it from everywhere on his side of the court. #30 is the “big” guy who’s responsible for rebounds and doesn’t block out. The other big does the same every time he tries score…get ball in middle of paint…spin left and push in to lay it in with right hand. They’ll shoot 35 3’s…if they make 20…they have their one shining moment. I change my prediction. 23 point win.

Little trivia time guys - now without looking it up - can anyone tell us – how many 3’s has AUBURN attempted this yr? - -your just gonna have to take a guess DO NOT CHEAT - - lol.- -ROK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
For a frame of reference we shot 702 threes and our opponents shot 864.
@jayballer73 I know absolutely nothing about Auburn. So I’ll guess 500. And you’ll probably tell me they shoot a lot and not a little.
-

Here’s one tip on picking a bracket upset. Rick Barnes has not made it past the first weekend in his last 7 NCAA tournament appearances which includes last year as a 2 seed at Tennessee and his final 6 appearances while still at Texas.

Please, please, please

@KUSTEVE Back from the wilderness, eh?
-
I love how the update says how much time between the last post on the topic. Makes me laugh because I hear it on sponge bob as “a few moments later”. Lol
-
@kjayhawks Hell I’m having a really hard time finding the beginning or the latest on any of these topics I click on the title and it shoots me clear back to the cave days early 2019, frustrating
-
@jayballer73 clicking on the title takes you to the last unread post and clicking on the right side takes you to the end of the thread I believe.
-
Man, I’ll tell you one thing, gotta be quick on your toes to post something when the game thread is real time.

I was just scrolling through Bracketology and the Bubble Watch for the first time this year. This is the worst I’ve ever seen it.
Let’s take a quick look:
Purdue 13-10- You have 10 losses, how are you currently projected in and it’s February. 10 of 13 wins at home. 4 wins against ranked teams at home. 2-6 on the road.
Wichita St- a projected #7 seed. best wins against 2 “last four in” teams. 13 wins at home (of 17) a #7 seed?, Ha
Indiana- #10 seed- 3 wins at home against ranked teams, losing conference record, 12 of 15 wins at home.
Michigan- #8 seed, 4-7 conference record, 3-6 in their last 9 games. A #8 seed?
Wisconsin- #8 Seed- 10 losses, 10 of 13 at home.
Arkansas- #9 seed- best win against Indiana a projected 10 seed.
They really going to let 11 Big-10 teams in?

WSU might have fallen off that 7 after last pm, the fans are a grumbling!

Even worse some of them were chanting “f ku” with 15 seconds to go after they hit a 3 and went up 2. They fouled Cincinnati on and-1 and lost.
keeping it classy I see

It’s gonna be such bullshit when Wichita is our 8/9 and Michigan State is our 5 seed.

Neither team could beat KU this year
-
@BeddieKU23 Wichita could easily do it. They are a good team.
-
@BeddieKU23 I heard they did that. Did u hear them?
-
@BShark not so sure, they don’t have anyone as quick as dot. Fans aren’t happy w/Marsha, thinking nit.
-
It’s gonna be real interesting to see who gets the 1 seed in the East region this year. Baylor appears set to be the 1 in the south, KU has a good road to 1 seed in the Midwest, and SDSU and Gonzaga seem pretty well locked into the 1 and 2 seeds out west in whichever order. I just can’t see both of those two ending up as 1 seeds.
That 4th 1 seed out east should be interesting to watch between Duke, Louisville, and Dayton as a dark horse. I could also see Dayton ending up as our 2 seed in the Midwest.
I personally hope stuff happens that puts KU in the South regional since that’s in Houston this year and I could go see a KU in the NCAA tournament in person for the second time. My other time seeing a KU tournament game in person was the 2018 Final Four against Nova in San Antonio. I would highly recommend going to a Final Four at some point if KU makes it or even if it’s within driving distance because the atmosphere was amazing with all the non basketball activities going on.

I haven’t seen that from them. I watched last nights game and thought our guards would eat theirs alive. They defend pretty well as most Greg teams do but I think our defense would really bother them. Just IMO
-
@BeddieKU23 can u post it here?
-
I’ll try and find it

The In-Season NCAA Bracket reveal is tomorrow at 12:30. Believe they are doing the Top 4 seeds?

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ditto on the Final Four. An amazing atmosphere, even if you don’t have a ticket.
I was fortunate enough to see two of them, though neither had the Jayhawks in it…1984 with Georgetown (w/Ewing) vs. Houston (Olajuwon & Phi Slama Jama), and 1995, when UCLA (Tyus Edney & the O’Bannons) beat defending champ Arkansas.
Always enjoyed watching the Friday practices too, which I believe are still open to the public. Got to see “Big Country” Reeves shatter a backboard with one of his dunks.
Of course I wish I could’ve been at the 1988 finals, but even seeing one in person as a neutral was well worth it.
-
Oops, my fading brain cells almost forgot the 2005 Final Four in St. Louis…UNC over Illinois. Wasn’t really rooting for either, but when some Illini fans started acting like jerks before the game I kinda leaned toward the Heels. “Act like you been there before !”

And Villanova or Auburn is our #4 seed.
