Bracketology thread for the next few weeks.
-
I said we would win the 14th 2-3 weeks before we did. We did.
I said the wheels would come off Tech after we beat them. They did.
I said Doke going down for two weeks the day after he got hurt was the best thing that could have happened to this team. They won 3 in 3 in KC. It was.
No theorizin’ from the ‘bate 1.0.
Just clear vision.
Now for next: I don’t like how hot we got in KC. Needed the hot game for the second game of round 1 in the Carney–the last one before Doke plays again. If we flame out from trey in game 1/round 1, we can labor through Without Doke. But if we flame out game 2/round 1, we will likely get beat. Ugh!!
Here’s hoping we stay hot till the second round!!!
-
@cragarhawk Thanks!
@jaybate-1-0 , come on bro, you do a fair amount of theoryizing! Of course, most of your theories are 99% accurate 3/5th of the time except on Sundays and days that are above 82 degrees.
-
Actually theories are what I NEVER do.
THEORIES are for suckers!
Yeeeee hawwww!
It’s CARNEY time at last!!!
One more weekend and Doke is back!!!
-
@jaybate-1.0 We’ll win the 2nd round game, period.
-
@wissox Hey now, I’m not trying on championship shirts yet, I’m looking up hotels and ticket prices in San Antonio. Enjoyed it though.
-
@jaybate-1.0 I was thinking that last night…should we have saved our 15-27 from 3 for the sweet 16? I guess it doesn’t work like that…
-
Lunardi has Fizzou and Silo T playing each other out West as the 8-9 game.
Can we have an Asian Regional and send them further?
KU in the MW, with Purdue, Auburn, WSU and Gonzaga. Not thrilled if Purdue gets a rematch revenge chip.
-
@kjayhawks It was just a matter of time for their freshmen. - - Their talent was always there - just needed to adapt to the College Game. - Like always they are going to be a tough out. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Of course, most of your theories are 99% accurate 3/5th of the time except on Sundays and days that are above 82 degrees.What I am, of course, penultimately thrilled about is how “conspiracy theory”-- lately sheepishly being reduced to “theorizing” and other variations–by persons so long conditioned by the CIA’s MSM meme-ing them with “conspiracy theory,” came to be proven to be CIA/Deep State memes (thanks Judicial Watch). I admit, I figured “conspiracy theory” and “theorizing” had to be propaganda terms propagated in the CIA shaped reverb chamber of the CIA-shaped MSM, but, well, even I couldn’t predict that the term itself would be tied straight to the Company. Damn, that was very sweet and I missed it! There. I admit it. I’m only good at forecasting KU basketball. Good forecasting requires true love. I don’t love politics and propaganda, as I do KU Basketball. But you know that.
Ultimately, I am all yeeeee hawwwww, its Carney time at last, and as usual, that ain’t no “theorizin’”.
Oh and I refer you again to my "playful predictin’ ":
-
Called 14th title 2-3 weeks before and stuck to forecast, when the hand wringers were bed wetting. Check.
-
Called the wheels coming off TTech-less, after Self and his players exploited their weaknesses. Their wheels went off in every direction. Check.
-
Said losing Doke was best thing for KU that could have happened. They won 3 in 3. It was. Check.
“How sweet it is,” as Jackie Gleason used to say.
But these are just the usual results for the Oread Oracle, as you know.
Rock Chalk, my theorizin’-projecting fellow Jayhawk!

Does anyone know what time the actual bracket come out today?
Now the dilemma - how do we go back to not rebounding with DeSousa on the bench? Will Dok and Silvio play together??? Will Silvio cut into Dok’s minutes, Mitch’s, or a guard (Vick/Garret)? Ahhh new variables for the Dance. Let the fun begin!
-
@dylans Bill will finally be able to tell Doke and Mitch to play balls to the wall. Knowing we have Silvio to come in means that we just gained 5 fouls at that position. So now Mitch and Doke can really play aggressively.
-
@kcmatt7 Mitch is pretty aggressive as is - he tries to swat every shot.
Silvio is pretty aggressive as is too - he puts his butt on someone every shot and boxes out to the stands. I love this quality and he and Garrett are the only ones with it.
-
Dok is too reserved going for rebounds and blocks some so maybe that’s where the improvement could lie.
-
@dylans There are still times where Mitch or Doke is trying to avoid a foul and we give up an easy basket because of it.
-
@Kcmatt7 All our posts have a ton to learn about positioning. It’s the one thing Lando had going for him.
-
@jaybate-1.0 Ok Swami, or whatever you want to be called, since you’re on a little hot streak. Tell me how the next four weeks are going to go!
-
Davidson just popped a bubble.
-
@BShark this year the bubble is crazy, the committee will leave out some guys that thought they were in. It will be interesting to see if the B12 gets 6,7 or 8 teams in. I’d say most likely 7.
-
Can anyone tell me or does anyone know how the brackets set up for the NCAA tourney? - what I mean is it - - The South vs the East in the final four and the West vs the Midwest ? - is that the set up? anyone know - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology here’s a bracket projection with the matchups you are looking for.
-
You knew they couldn’t leave out Un Young.
-
@BShark Texas?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Whoever gets OU and UT will be licking their chops.
-
Doke’s throws got ou in.
-
Wow. This selection show is awful. Lol
-

No drama. Sucks.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 OU has 7 wins this year. SEVEN.
-
@cragarhawk Agreed, not a fan of revealing the teams first.

Please do not call 911 to complain about the format of the NCAA tournament selection show. We can’t do anything about it, no matter how bad it is.
-
So the B12 get 7 teams in: Kansas, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Kansas State, Texas, TCU and Oklahoma. I’d would’ve took Baylor or Okie State over Oklahoma with how they finished. Interesting that Syracuse got in.
-
I read a statement from Marsha that he wouldn’t be available to the media after the selection show. What? He would speak tmrw.
-
St Mary’s a top 30 Kenpom team is not in. Had to squeeze Un Young in there somehow!
-
Poor Bruce just can’t catch a break. UVA will dumpster them.
-
That’s if they get past Creighton. You know Foster is gonna be jacked to try and eliminate Bruce.
-
Glad Arizona isn’t in our bracket.
-
Arizona Kentucky in the SECOND ROUND. HOLD ME. MERCY.
-
Yes
-
DODGED THE SHOCKERS. CRISIS AVERTED.
-
We won’t get duke, right?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Duke and MSU I bet.
-
Or UNC and MSU
-
Also you know Missouri is gonna be in our 8/9 game. @HighEliteMajor called it in advance too.
-
And Michigan?
-
Seton Hall is a tough match-up. Delgado inside is a beast.
-
Clemson and Auburn though, that’s not bad for us!
-
There’s no reason we don’t make E8 in this bracket
-
Couldn’t have been gifted a better route to the elite 8
-
@cragarhawk Really is wide open to the EE.
-
Well?
