Officially hate the B10 for that
Unnecessary fouls and monitor checks. What a crap show
-
ku will play eastern Washington in the west region on Saturday
-
National champs!!! We have a good draw
-
Possible 2nd round game against USC/Wichita St or Drake
-
NCAA committee should get a shit sandwich for putting Wichita as a possible 2nd round game
-
So the Covid West bracket includes KU and Virginia.
-
@BeddieKU23 just more proof the NCAA manipulates the brackets
-
KU is not making the S16, USC will destroy this team.
-
Honestly, I think all the brackets are going to look easy for the #1 seeds, but the Zags aren’t going to have a cakewalk game in the second round Mizzou or Oklahoma
-
Eastern Washington kenpom #110 team, 86 ranked offense, 152 ranked d

No way. USC is garbage outside one player

It really does go to show you.

I won’t be surprised if they win at all.
-
I’m trying to have low expectations. USC is a tough draw
-
I’m picking them to lose first round. Just a one man band who’s a freshman

How does KU have a good draw? This is probably a worst case scenario of a draw for KU.
We should beat EWU, but we won’t have Jalen Wilson this weekend and David McCormack won’t be 100% and USC has 7 foot Pac 12 POY Evan Mobley. Should KU somehow manage to reach the S16, the likely match up would be NPOY Luka Garza and Iowa. Iowa is one of the best scoring teams and KU is a team that struggles to score.
So no, KU did not get a good draw, they got about as bad of a draw as possible with their current roster situation.
-
Colgate only played 15 games? Good grief.

And we likely won’t have anyone to match up with Mobley if that’s the match up because Wilson won’t be back yet and McCormack won’t be 100% at that point if he’s even cleared for that game.
-
Baylor has a tough road
-
WVU looks like they have a good path to a sweet 16
-
So does Illinois
-
Illinois has a couple of potentially brutal second round and S16 match ups with Loyola in the second round and Oklahoma St. in the S16.
-
@BeddieKU23 Illinois has a hell of a shot at a FF with that draw
-
Tough games though.
-
Not gonna speculate on availability but all we can hope for is Dave will give us enough to make it to the 2nd weekend. At that point its all gravy

I say it every year. About 35 years running now. We’re good. Pac 10 is trash. Well stop Iowa. Well beat uva after they upset the zags. Then whomever and then whomever…were good
-
One more region and I don’t want to see Duke on it.
-
KU draw is tough. But part of it is I’m pretty sure Bill got this team to overachieve here at the end of the season.
I’ll be happy with a 2nd weekend appearance
-
Texas should be happy with their draw

You do realize that KU will be without Jalen Wilson the first two games and even if David McCormack is playing (possibility he won’t play either), he won’t be 100%. KU got out into a bracket with great big men while dealing with their own big men issues. KU got a worst case scenario match up for having issues with their two best offensive post players.
-
Any additional game is gravy, IMO. I’ll be holding my breath until tip off in round 1.
Also, a lot could happen between now and the second weekend.
-
Is there a bracket posted somewhere yet
-
-
Maybe, when our only chance is hitting 3s, the choices will be easy and we will come out loose, with nothing to lose.
-
Is Dave playing this weekend or not?
-
@Kcmatt7 said in Selection Sunday:

Don’t know yet. He still has to have 7 straight negative tests before he could head out to Indy. One of the big things with Covid during recovery is not having a lot of energy so even if Dave clears protocol, he likely won’t have a lot of stamina and would be playing below 100%. I don’t think KU would need McCormack to beat EWU, but USC or Wichita/Drake are another matter.
-
@Kcmatt7 said in Selection Sunday:

No idea. Self has been awful quiet regarding details
-
And we don’t even know if he has covid.
-
A lot of people not thrilled with the draw, but we’ll see. Kansas is a 3-seed for a reason. If we can beat Baylor we can beat USC or Iowa. Just need to play hard the whole game.
-
Usually need your whole team though for that and now everything thrown out the door with Dave and jalen on covid protocol. Basically everything could be lost that was built
-
We’ll just have to do the best we can with the players we have available. Being a 3-seed and not having the whole roster may result in our guys playing looser, with a nothing-to-lose sort of mentality.
-
There is no reason this team can’t get to the elite 8 playing the way it has played the past month. Its up to the players and Self to make it happen. Iowa as a 2 seed is laughable. Oregon is not the normal Oregon, USC is average. Seriously KU has played 10 teams tougher then this group in the bottom end of the bracket
-
Wonder how soon we find out times? I didn’t think about mon. Games. Better be pm game!
-
Self up next on Selection show

I would have to agree some anyways - -Texas is better , Baylor obviously , West Virginia , Oklahoma State all just as good as any of these theams

Dave & Tristan should be available this weekend
-
@Kcmatt7 said in Selection Sunday:
Baylor has a tough road
their 2nd round gam could be kind of interesting which ever one they play. N Carol huge front line, yet the one thing Baylor has got - - -those guards those three guards

But we don’t know for sure about that and we also don’t know what their stamina levels will be if they play.
-
Go ahead, call me delusional, but I like our bracket.
-
No Jalen this weekend, but Bill believes we’ll have everyone else.
