KU Bracket Reveal Thread

Looking at KU’s path. We are set up well to control our own destiny!!!
1st Round: worst team left in the tournament (Texas Southern #184).
Potential 2nd Round: San Diego St (#2 rated defense) but 5th worst offense (#161). Creighton #126/#17 (Offense/Defense)
Potential S16: Iowa #2 rated offense, South Dakota St #12th rated offense (#223 rated defense). Providence (#48), Richmond (#69).
Potential Elite 8: Auburn #8 rated defense (highest of 2 seeds), Wisconsin (#33), LSU (#19), USC (#42), Miami (#60), Iowa St we know them.
Potential Final 4: The South has 5 of the Top 16 rated teams per Kenpom. This is the region that could really see some chaos.
Potential Finals: Gonzaga, Texas Tech, Duke, Baylor, UCLA, Kentucky would be the most likely matchups…

however Texas South is also the worst offense (#269) in the Tournament.
And let’s not forget per @DanR the kerning on their unis is bloody awful!

lol - - -100000 % correct. I had to do a touble take when I heard him say that

Providence DOES NOT SCARE me lol

Lightfoot has tested the knee out today.

@BeddieKU23 said in KU Bracket Reveal Thread:
Lightfoot has tested the knee out today.
Self said he wouldn’t have been able to play today so I’m assuming even if he’s available tomorrow, it would be very limited and we’ll probably see Zach and KJ get most of those minutes which shouldn’t be a big issue due to the quality of the opponent.
-
Baylor’s leading scorer LJ Cryer is still out and will miss at least the first 2 rounds.
Also, Louisville expected to announce Kenny Payne as their next head coach. That’s a big get for Louisville.
-
Saw Mitch dunk in shootaround yesterday. Wearing a black sleeve on the knee. Good to see
-
KU is favored by 21.5 today. 2nd biggest spread behind Gonzaga at 23. Baylor at 20.5.
San Diego St -2 against Creighton.
Iowa -10.5 against Richmond
Providence -2 against South Dakota St

Ya seen a clip of KU shoot Around Mitch looked like he was moving pretty good working on his jump hook and shooting from the base line. Think he is going to be ok , STILL if we can get through this game without him the better we are. - -Play KJ & Zach to fill in , gives Mitch another couple of days and gives KJ & Zach critical game time tourney exprience
-
Ken Pom has KU at a 95 % chance of win today -has the score at 80-62

Wow, SD State is gonna win.

This is survive and advance time. (no shit Zab)? If we go inside to Dave and he doinks a couple and we start out 1/7 on threes and we throw it to the other team just for fun a few times and Texas Southern doesn’t reject our gifts it may not be a KU blowout where Connor hits another three or three. But as my 75 year old 5’6" former airborne commander neighbor says, when he takes three to get out of a sand trap and helicopters his Hogan Sure-Out in the general direction of Neptune, “I just don’t give a f***.”
I forgot what my point was but I hope we win. Go Hawks!
-
Was looking at all the so called experts or what not writers and such on their picks for final 4 and seems the General consensus seems to be Gonzaga ( SURPRISE ) - -Arizona - - Kentucky - - & KU
Also Championship picks are mainly between Gonzaga & Arizona - -Ku had like 4 picks then Kentucky was right there - -saw ONE Texas Teh kinda surprised me
-
Yet another obstacle to viewing the tourney: Cannot see the local CBS feed because Savannah has a huge St Pat parade for the first hour. Sling Blue does not carry locals.
Damned Commies!
-
This Michigan team is going to lose and bust 2/3 of my brackets
-
Check that: apparently the March Madness app has no idea how to know which Sling version you use. Orange gives you local channels, so it is letting me see the CBS game. Must use a national feed.
So, thanks to all, esp @Crinsonorblue22, for the advice to load it!

I left Sling about a month ago, and went to the higher priced Hulu. Now I am constantly having to refresh the live feeds on sporting events, and I’m about to go back to Sling.

Would be a ways off, and doubt they get there, and Providence may win, but I wouldn’t want to play SDS - they pass and shoot well. Really spread the floor. Very undersized, but fun to watch…
-
Going to keep a running commentary of the Big Ten, and their glorious " 9 TEAMS IN THE TOURNEY" . I’ve had to listen to days of announcers talking them up, so I keeping a tote of how they do. As of this morning…
AND THEN THERE WERE 8…
-
Colorado State is some grown ass men @Jethro Michigan has neither the heart nor the gumption to pull this out.
-
Oklahoma and Texas A&M say “you wasted my f’n ticket on THIS?”
-
Team full of freshman and their PG and best player out with Concussion
-
Not sur if anyone saw but let me say again - - Providence DOES NOT impress me. - -South Dakota is ok - - -& Colorado State looks very solid
-
Actually, Michigan has to feel pretty good to just be down 7 given that CSU made 8 3 pointers and they were 0-7…
-
South Dakota St can score but they have one of the worst defenses.

I think if I was providence I’d take the ball down deep every time to the Big - -South Dakota has no answer to guard him

Certainly could be a good plan of attack. South Dakota St has the 2nd worst defense per kenpom in the tournament. That’s even adjusting for competition etc. They are boom or bust
-
Michigan stormed back
-
They sure did. Michigan now winning
-
Providence up 14 early 2nd. They just look better then the Rabbits

Boy your right South Dakota’s State defense DOES SUCK - - then I have to do a double take and have to say - - - WHAT DEFENSE lol - - just sad
-
People thinking it was a walk over Mich suffered from premature exultation…
-
I dunno but to me Kendall needs to look to score more. Several times he passes out when he has wide open mid to short range shots. - I just think he needs to be more aggressive offensively instead of yielding
-
Really not his game. He can hit the set open 3 but he hasn’t really developed this kind of touch from mid-range etc. Perhaps that’s in his future

A lot of Juwan Howard haters are in shambles after he put on a coaching clinic against a pretty good basketball mind in Medved.
-
South Dakota St cut it to 3… Now 5 with 2:23 to go.
-
Back down to 3 with 1 min to go. Jack Rabbits need a stop
-
Dumbest play ever. Providence fouled on a 3
-
Yeah pretty glad we dodged Memphis…
-
Jack Rabbits have been road killed
-
Baylor already won. there’s 8 minutes left in the first half
-
bad matchup for Boise
-
-
SShit
-
Meh. I wouldn’t trust them to make anything against a real team
