Bracket Reveal chat. Sneak preview
-
Is someone setting up the buckets brackets challenge this year? Also we play Friday @ 5:50 CT.
-
@kjayhawks 5:50 Central time
-
-
I believe Self is 2-4 in the KU era against Izzo which to me makes this coaching match-up more problematic given Selfās overall 82% win rate. But please correct me if I am wrong.
-
@CRH107 selfs due!
-
Was just getting ready to post almost identical to yours. I too think that when Bill won at OSU, the old voodoo spells are falling by the wayside. And I too give the edge to Miami so we may not even see Izzo.
I see Purdue and ISU a toss up, and will be interested to see how your āB12 tourney taking a lot of themā stands upā¦ both for them and conversely, how much it helps us to be rested and ready. And once agree with you, Oregon Lāville is going to be great, but KU takes Lāville down. And once last agreement - a Nova KU rematch will be awesome and paybacks are going to be hell for them!
-
@CRH107 Did we lose the last one? If so, youāre right. Well, this is the year to kick his ass when heās down.
-
@approxinfinity last one was when BG threw a fit. Chicago
-
@StLJhawk ISU has that BU tendency. They reach a certain point and they just fizzle. The magic is gone at this point. They just donāt have the endurance in the tourney.

@KUSTEVE ummm, NOPE lol

Possible 2nd round game with Michigan State could be pretty tight. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Congrats to Danny Manning. Itās been 7 long years since Wake Forest has been in the Tournament. Beating Louisville and Miami towards the end is what did it. Congrats to Dooley, and Jankovich. Obi 1 Self has taught you wellā¦ Joe Dooley will be offered lots of $ if he wants to leave Paradise.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree, could be a lot worse - -I really think itās going to boil down to KU- Louisville - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I have to believe and think as well as others MAN they screwed Wichita State, Iām sorry say what you want that IS NOT a # 10 seed. - -thatās laughable like Jay Bilas said whats goin to happen with them seeding them like that look out. - -Could be a very interesting re-match possible 2nd round Kentucky - -Wichita State and I kind of like Wichita State I just do - -Kentucky is on and off - - Call me crazy I wanna keep my eye on that game - - Wichita State pretty deep bench - -Got some nice height - -we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
well we play early Friday 5:50 at night think I like the early game time to rest afterwards - -of course we got to win this 1st one first - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@sfbahawk The Badgers had a key injury to Bronson Koenig a month ago and they lost 5 of 6, playing exactly like you saw in the 2nd half today. He got healthier, and they finished the season strong. 1st half was ugly today too, but a late run put us in good shape, and then you nailed it, just played about as ugly a half as could be. I donāt know what happened. Since that game ended so close to the brackets being released Iām guessing the result wouldnāt have helped UW much as Michigan only got a 7 seed despite winning 4 in a row win the tournament.
For the record, Iām still really pissed about the Badgers poor treatment, but satisfied with the most important team, KU!
-
Was just watching a video on espn on how to predict the winners of the Big Dance.
The numbers are pretty strong indicatorsā¦ sure hope they are wrong about defensive efficiency this year, but have to admit, it does make sense.
Spoiler alert, it has Kensucky to win it all. Screw that. We play all 40 minutes with good defense for the next six games and we cut down the nets.
Defense wins dancesā¦
-
Wow. Corey Alexander is the dumbest person Iāve ever heard on the Selection Sunday show.
He said, in quick succession:
- Heās picking Miama to beat us.
- Miamiās backcourt is better than ours.
- The ACC is the best conference.
- How did Duke have 7 losses if it isnāt the best conference?
- Kansas just lost to TCU didnāt they?
- Anyone can beat anyone. Thatās what March Madness is all about.
ā¦ So they picked Miami over Kansas. :hurtrealbad: click
-
Also, their highlight reel of all teams throughout season showed us briefly losing to TCU, a team that isnāt even in the tournament. That was our only clip. No WVU comeback. No JJ dunking on the baseline against Kentucky. No Frank Mason dagger against Duke.
At least Kara Lawson (I think thatās her name?) gave us some love, picked us to win it all.
-
Lunardi got 5 match-ups correct out of the first round. Why do people pay attention to that guy and worry about his bracket predictions?
-
@DanR I equate him to the ground hog
-
Here comes the Wichita news on wsu
-
Interesting bit if we face UC Davis Friday, their coach Jim Les was head coach of Bradley in 06 when they beat us first round. I think they will lose to NCCU anyway. Hopefully we come out ready after a loss and 9 days to think about it. Get up big and Tyler Self scores his first points in the NCAAs while starters rest.

@approxinfinity Heās a big MOUTH
Miami is not even ranked in the top 25. How much of a moron can you be to bet against a team that wins in what is arguably the toughest conference for the 13th consecutive year? The idiot is arguing against what many other better known critics have tried to do and learned not to after Self has proven the pundits wrong. They donāt bet against KU. KU isnāt out until the FAT LADY sings 
Let him open his mouth and insert his foot. KU has achieved more with less and has proven themselves to be totally competitive in some really tough games. Also, they bring one of the most experienced teams into the tourney. If people think the TCU loss defines KUās season? They are truly stupid.He obviously hasnāt seen KUās BPI, RPI, SOR, and SOS. KU is ranked in the top 10 in the nation statistically. Miamiās SOS is #17 and KU is #12. All others are a distant prayer compared to KU. It is March Madness, but Miami is nothing compared to KU.

Based on true seeds, KU has the easiest path to the Final Four. Louisville is the weakest 2 seed (8th overall), Purdue is the weakest 4 seed (16th overall), Iowa St. is the weakest 5 seed (20th overall), Creighton is the weakest 6 seed (24th overall), Michigan is the 2nd weakest 7 seed (27th overall), and Michigan St. is the 2nd weakest 9 seed (37th overall).
Oregon is the strongest 3 seed (9th overall), but the reality is theyāre probably the weakest 3 seed with Chris Boucherās injury factored in. Miami is the 2nd strongest 8 seed (30th overall), but theyāre one of the most offensively challenged teams in the field.
So according to the NCAA Selection Committee, we have the weakest 2, 4, 5, and 6 seeds and the 2nd weakest 7 and 9 seeds.
