@HawkChamp we losing?
-
The brackets are gona fall how they fall. I’m not going to BOO HOO how we got screwed, I just hope we don’t get Dickie V, or Billy W for any of the games so i don’t have to mute the tv.
I also heard coach ordered 6 cases of

If Duke gets a 1 seed and we don’t…that will put a damper on the whole tournament for me. I’m serious. In the past, the whole body of work throughout the season has been what mattered most. Yes, they give teams a better seed for playing well at the end of the season or in the conf. tourney, but Duke was a 4 before. I can’t see them giving them a 1…unless it is in place of NC…but then Arizona would have a beef.

@Crimsonorblue22 thats the thing - I care more about how well the team is playing (fundamentals, taking care of the ball, not giving up layups routinely, making open shots, not getting blown by on defense) than wins and losses. The record will take care of itself if they do those things well. The problem is, rarely do our guys do those things and they are winning and they have been lulled into a false sense of security.

@Ralph I can’t remember Dick doing any NCAA tournament games. He works for ESPN which is owned bye ABC. The tournament is on CBS and their affiliates.

Duke is not jumping KU. Even with KU losing to TCU in the quarterfinals and Duke winning the ACC tournament, KU still has the superior resume in every way including a neutral court head to head victory over Duke. If for whatever reason, the committee has their heads so far up their butts that they do give Duke a 1 seed over KU in the Midwest, KU would still be the 2 seed in the Midwest which still means KU would go through Tulsa and KC. The only significant change would be KU wearing blue in the Elite 8 when they beat Duke again.

@brooksmd There is no friggin way that is happening. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Here’s the latest Assembly Call projection. http://assemblycall.com/bracketology-ncaa-tournament-bracket-projections-mar-12-2017/
Villanova, UNC, Gonzaga, Kansas in that order as the 1 seeds.
He has Duke and UCLA in the bottom half of the Midwest as the 2 and 3 seeds which I would take in a heartbeat because those are two of the most dangerous teams and only 1 of them would advance deep enough to potentially face KU. I’ll take that. He as Notre Dame and Cincy as the 4/5 seeds and Arkansas/Dayton as the 8/9 seeds. Bucknell shows up in KU’s half of the bracket as the 13 seed in the Midwest, but that would be a potential Sweet 16 game so not much chance of that game happening.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 OOOHHH!! I don’t want to run into Notre Dame. Bonsey and their 3 point shooting would not go well for us.
-
@Big-Clyde52 for sure. Does the team know that there is a three point line? Because they don’t seem to guard it at all. Makes me wonder what they talk about
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree totally. - -Again before this weekend Duke had lost 3-4, finished fifth in their conference, Ku end up the regular season poll ranked as the # 1 team in the nation - had just won their 13th straight conference title in what is surpose to be considered one of the top 2 conferences in the Nation - -A team that was never out of the top 10 the entire season - -A championship over a period of 4 months - -NOT 4 games. - -The only way in hell Duke replaces KU as a # 1 is going strictly the committee kissing duke ass because of the Coach name RAT FACE and nothing about what his puke team accomplished this season. - -if anything Duke replaces Gonzaga before they take KU’S # 1. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp @drgnslayr WSU isn’t every teams superbowl, night in-night out. Easy to underestimate the effect of that. I watched part of some WSU games early and they looked crappy and uninspired. We don’t judge them the same way.
-
@Bwag they aren’t a veteran team this year so that matters.
I don’t care that KU is everyone’s super bowl. That should not make a difference whether or not our guys play hard.
-
Jerry Palm from CBS latest has Villanova, Gonzaga , KU, & Duke - - -maybe still hard to think Duke can be a # 1. - - If anything I could see Arizona flipping with Gonzaga and then KU - -Villanova & then maybe Duke flipping north Carolina - -I CAN NOT seeing Duke taking our spot - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I would take that. The 8/9 and 4/5 are not bad compared to some of the other options.
-
The thing I’m noticing that for the most part, we are not getting any love, no talk much as I just heard, not much talk of us being in the final four or possible champion. You know the typical talk about Kentucky, North Carolina, Duke, BUT not a whole lot of talk about KU. - -That’s fine with me, keep us under the table, let them under estimate us, I hope the other teams feel that same way too. We will just go quietly about our business- - - Like I posted earlier - -it’s about Victory - -That goes to those with rage - - Risk all go extreme - -play with that " Team rage" - go ahead- -just keep over looking us -we be here thanks for asking. - some of what they think - -say might be warranted but you know what ? - -I’ll take my chances with the 7 we got - -Thanks for stopping by - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 KU’s the 3rd betting favorite in Vegas to win the title and was second before Duke won last night. KU’s getting plenty of attention from those who know the game instead of talk about the game.
-
@jayballer54 why should we be getting much attention? Most games, this team has looked mediocre.
-
People said we’re the same team as we were the first time around against Duke. Udoka played a hell of a game the first go around, but Landen had 2 points and 1 rebound in 14 minutes. He was nursing an injury, wasn’t he? Also, Dwight didn’t play. He could eat some minutes this go around. I do think they’ve gotten better, but I think Devonte and Vick have found their swag again, and Frank and Landen are locked in. Josh could put the game out of reach if he really steps up, but assuming Josh has an average day, we’ll need decent games out of Svi and Carlton to put Duke away.
-
@HawkChamp Looks like Michigan just became the darlings of the tourney along with Puke. They have been on a roll since their plane mishap. More power to them I guess. GO JAYHAWKS!!!
-
We should just stay home at AFH and look for that 3 pt line.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Lets gather around the 3 point line in AFH when we celebrate the NC. I am trying to stay positive. GO JAYHAWKS!!!
-
@HawkChamp LMAO, ya I like you, great approach - -tell ya what our mediocre just won us our 13th straight conference title - -just more likely then not has the Nations player of the year - -has the Nations record for consectutive streak for going to the NCAA’s the Nations 2nd winningest program, a NBA lottery pick this year, ranked in the top 7 the entire year with our mediocre team let me check our record - -OH there it is 28-4 let me say it again 28- on the season -not to sure but I believe there is ALOT of fans, schools, coaches that would LOVE to have a mediocre team such as that. - -not really sure why we should get any attention/mention -not sure at all. - -but you run with that thought you’ll be fine roflmao - just remember this phrase - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The team people better hope they don’t match up again with right now -see them matched up against you? - - -I’m telling you - - look out for Michigan - -looks really good. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 I know the accomplishments, but sometimes those can lull teams, and fans, into a false sense of security. Numerous close calls against inferior teams should have been blowouts.
-
Not apropos of that much, but SMU just won the AAC tournament over Cincy - basically a 6 man rotation. Remarkably, according to the announcers, their starters scored all but 11 of their points during the tournament. There are teams out there with even shorter benches…
-
@Crimsonorblue22 well someone better find it!
-
I watched them early in the year and the looked average and uninspired.
That isn’t the way they look now. Even Conner is playing pretty good ball. Many other people are noticing, too. I heard Jay Bilas saying how good they are now.
I don’t want to play them because they can go 12 deep. That would be their plan… run… run… run…
-
Something to think about… suddenly Kansas has more leverage with the NCAA.
Coach Self is about to become a HOFr. That will help us, big time… not only with recruiting, but with our reputation within the east coast media and the wonks at the NCAA.
Can someone help me out when that becomes finalized? June, maybe?
-
@drgnslayr they are playing well, but hard to judge considering the lack of talent in their league.
