@KUSTEVE With Brooks healthy, I think they will for sure be a one seed.
BTW, the Maui Invitational is going to be great this year. Wisconsin, Oregon and UNC. Can’t wait to see it!
-
Agreed Oregon could be one of the 4 best teams this yr.
Virginia a 2 seed seems really high considering what they lost
-
@BeddieKU23 I think Virginia winds up being a four or five seed
-
Seems about right, they have too many questions for me right now. Good program, good coach and he has plenty of young talent this year. Looking to me, 4th best in their own conference.

Apparent tournament engineering on the scale of the last few years remains, if real, a relatively new activity. Perhaps something was learned about TV audience size and bet balancing impacts from last year’s conspicuous experiment that suggested it would be net beneficial to keep KU in its home region?
