Bracketology thread for the next few weeks.
-
Louisville held for the victory. Sets up a big game for them with Virginia. Win they are safely in. Lose they sweat it out
Boston College up 14 at half on NC St. NC St can ill afford to lose to a non-dancing team.
-
Tad Boyle and Colorado may have ended Arizona States chances by spanking them in the PAC 12 tournament today.
-
Doke our for the conference tourney. Should be back though for next week. Still not great. Only benefit I see would be it let’s Silvio get serious minutes and we can see what he’s capable of. If we make the finals without Doke, have to think we guaranteed ourselves the 1 seed.
-
Not that it matters much anymore but oklahoma st up 11 on OU at half
-
Round 3 of Oklahoma st tomm. Sad they get gifted another win
-
@BeddieKU23 I hope you don’t watch
-
-
Notre Dame comes charging back from 20 down with 13 minutes left to top Virginia Tech. They are making a strong case for an at large bid.
-
Stick a fork in OU. Maybe the ball hog will figure out why he didn’t win CPOY when he’s playing in the NIT.
-
@kjayhawks I will be disappointed if they don’t make it.
Grayson has looked like a legit NBA PG prospect so far this game though. I hate to say that too. But damn, a lot of teams look like they could do worse at backup PG than Allen.
-
Although, Duvall looks like one too… This Duke team is stupid talented. And K has coached them well this year. Would be hard to bet against them right now.
-
@Kcmatt7 Zero defense in this game but yeah Duke is extremely talented. I was hoping we’d have a shot with Bagley but swoosh.

this has a zillion brackets listed:

The plot thickens, OSU lost, Texas lost, ND lost and Middle Tennessee loses, which will give conference USA 2 teams instead of one. OU lost early yesterday and Baylor is in a must win shortly against WV. Looks like OU, OSU, Texas and Baylor are all on the bubble, it will be interesting to see who gets in because they all finished the B12 8-10 and have similar records, ratings.
-
The official criteria for #1 seeds: 1. Best team in the nation 2. 2nd best team in the nation 3. 3rd best team in the nation 4. Winner of the ACC Tournament
-
Xavier losing helps KUs chances at a number 1 seed, if Dook loses I’d say we have a fairly good shot at a 1 regardless of tomorrow’s outcome.
-
@BShark genius
-
Dwight Coleby and Western Kentucky will battle Marshall for the conference USA crown tomorrow and a trip to the dance. I hope that they can pull off the win and get in for Coleby to have another shot to play in the tournament. I just hope they don’t play us lol, they are a good enough team, I wouldn’t sleep on them.
-
UCLA has too much talent to have double digit losses in the Pac.

I thought #4 seed was: 4. Team with Trae Young
-
I think if KU wins today that gives KU the 1 in the Midwest. Today is actually important, as much as I hate to say that about a Big Xii tournament game.
-
@Kcmatt7 KU probably already gas the 1 seed in the Midwest now with Xavier’s semifinal loss and Duke’s loss to UNC. As long as KU doesn’t get blown out today, I think they’ll be the 1 seed in Omaha.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I just don’t think that is a guarantee if we lose.
-
Be careful what you wish for…
-
@KUSTEVE Not that we’d get past Wichita State for it to matter as they would win by 20+ but MSU and Duke on our 2/3 line would suck.
-
@BShark while Xavier is out there with auburn and purdue. I’m not afraid of the shlockers at all.
-
@KUSTEVE They’d hang a hundred or more on this KU defense.
-
@BShark You’re overrating them- you must live in Kansas.
-
If that is the case, I rather go West, but Lunardi is not the best so I am not worried…yet…
-
@KUSTEVE I’ve seen them play. They would have won the Big 12.
-
@BShark They wouldn’t have finished top 3. I think they would’ve finished with a winning record, though. I’ve watched 6 or 7 of their games this year, and I like them. Good team.
-
@BShark if we have a paper thin D, idk what to call WSU’s. They have like the 97th worst defense lol. Our shooters would light them up.
WSU is overrated even at the 4 imo.
-
WSU has some very good players and depth, lots of depth, something KU does not.
-
Doke would eat Morris alive. This team would smack WSU right in the face. They couldn’t even win their own conference, don’t think they could survive the beating they would have taken in the Big XII night in and night out.
I’ll take KU by 8 against WSU if that’s how it shakes out.
-
@Kcmatt7 Something tells me they’d play the defensive game of their lives.
-
@Kcmatt7 And what’s our ranking on Defense?
-

Would you believe it is somehow top 50? Because it is.
-
Of course getting Doke back is CRUCIAL defensively.
-
@KUSTEVE Your right they are a good team. - -I’ve seen them enough that I understand that their pretty tough - they have beaten enough quality teams over these past years that I know that they are not a fluke.
Would they win the big 12? - - Probably not. - -Would they be in the running just like these other teams that is in the league now like WV - - -Texas Tech? - - I believe they would. - - I just think that there are some here that no matter how good they were would just refuse to acknowledge that they are for real.
Now do I like them? - - OH HELL NO - - I can’t stand Marshal - -I think he is a arrogant shit. - -but he does get his guys to play hard, and they produce - - - It’s just that some don’t want to give credit where credit is due. - - Some think that unless it’s KU - -our boys that then any other team can’t be any good. – -There are a lot of teams that are good - -some are better for sure believe it or not.
I agree with what you say - I think WSU probably would end up in the top 3-4 of the league and if things just fell their way - then ya they actually might challenge for the title. - -Thing is we will see after this year what Marsha is going to do – they are losing ALOT we will see how he handles next year. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark Thank you man. - - -Now I am not sure if they would win it - - BUT I too have seen enough of them that I know that they would sure give teams a run for their money here in the Big 12.
I’m gonna give credit where credit is due - -doesn’t mean we have to like them – -I can’t stand them - but I’m not gonna bull shit and say they suck - far from it - -their pretty solid. - - - Some here wouldn’t say that if their life depended on it - -their Crimson and Blue blinders are getting in the way. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark Whoaaaaaaa, hold up now bud , like I said in another of your posts - -I for sure agree they are good - -but ummm hang 100? ummm I don’t think sooo. - I think it would be a pretty open game high score but I don’t think anyone is hanging 100 on KU no matter our defense - -just not happening

Never thought I’d be saying this - -BUT - - - I actually thought Baylor was the safest of them all – lmao - -guess that goes to show what I know. - -from what I hear now sounds like Baylor is OUT - -I think Okie State is in the Crapper and I think it’s 50/50 on Oklahoma. - -Then the team I thought that had the least chance of making it in - -Texas - -looks like they MAY just sneak in. - - -I think we end up with 7 teams in - - – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark I think we would come in with a chip on our shoulders. I hope they are our 4 seed because we would be motivated as hell to play that game. I think moreso than any other 4.
-
@BShark - - NO LMAO. - - -no way – are you serious? lol - - no now in all seriousness I would of never guessed that. - -Well that’s a lot better then I thought. - I was thinking more in the lines of bordering 100. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yep. #46. If we don’t have Doke we aren’t at that level defensively though.
-
Well guys we got the B12s auto bid so we won’t have to sweat it out tomorrow
-
Providence and Nova headed to OT.
-
As much as I hate to admit it, UK looks to have grown up a ton these last few days. They’ll be a tough team in the tournament.

I actually called this when they were struggling, because it’s that obvious.
