NCAA Selection Show

Interesting “home team”, in a game played in a different state.
-
KU is 4 seed in Midwest playing Northeastern.
-
Potential second round game against Auburn and potential S16 game against UNC in KC.
-
I know little about Northeastern.
-
Midwest, the Blueblood region
-
KC will be the place to be come regional time.
-
Great for Belmont, glad we are in the midwest and wow Dook as the overall overall 1 seed? Only reason they went 1-2 vs UNC was Zions missed travel calls.

Roy is about due a win against KU, finally. Being in KC could help us. If we get that far.
-
Pearl doesn’t have a great track record in the NCAA tournament and KU already has a win over NMSU so KU did get a friendlier road to KC than they could have received.
-
Gonzaga is the final 1 seed out west, Michigan should be the 2 seed.
-
Seeing the ACC get 3 #1 seeds demonstrates why KU gets hurt by their weaker conference. We need that great competition. Not just good competition.
-
Syracuse and Baylor should be good 8-9 game. I think Syracuse could upset Gonzaga.

What’s your prognosis for the game then?
-
I think Michigan comes out of the west region.
-
No TCU.

They didn’t deserve a bid. I still don’t think OU deserved a bid either though.
-
I thought TCU would get in and OU would have been left out, though. I thought TCU was going to get in after I saw OU.
-
@Bwag My prognosis is the same as every year! KU National Champs!

TCU has 0 wins over at large teams this year. ISU ×2 are their only good wins all year. OU’s only wins over at large quality teams were Wofford and KU. Neither team deserved an at large by finishing 4 games under .500 in a weak B12 this year.
-
Hmmm…chance to play on KC as a four seed. Maybe the NCAA favors KU?
-
Hawks have a miraculous chance here. Let’s win 2 games. Get to KC. Lean on our amazing fans and make this happen. Rock Chalk.

They suck
-
@HighEliteMajor KU has to get there first though as NMSU took KU to the wire back in December. Also keep in mind Self has lost more games at Sprint Center than AFH despite playing significantly fewer games there. If KU even makes it to the S16, I think this is the year Roy finally beats KU.
-
Northeastern plays 4 guards and shoots a ton of threes. Shoot 39% as a team. Not the greatest of matchups for KU. Vegas opened the line at KU -10.5 and it is already down to 8.5.
-
When do we learn what time we play?

Were not going to have to worry about it - -we get by our 1st game - - Auburn will smoke our ass. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’d pick us to lose to Auburn right now. If we get the matchup with UNC in KC that would be great, though.
I don’t really understand why Purdue is a 3-seed. I would take just about all of the 4-seeds over Purdue right now. I’m not that impressed with Big 10 conference titles because of a schedule imbalance.
-
Self “ Shocked” KU got MW bracket
-
have you seen Auburn play recently? - -Did you see how they rolled though the Sec tourney? - the people even on ESPN and CBS were talking about how actually got seeded to low.
They could very easily smoke us - -we go on way to many scoring droughts - -you can’t do that against good teams - - we got to just take one at a time - -not even begin to think about KC - I don’t think there is much chance of that happening - there was a lot of people right here saying even BEFORE these brackets came out was saying they didn’t think we would make it out of the 1st weekend - -seeing Auburn - only makes it more solified. - -We can - but with the way we have played - -I would say chances are slim

St. Mary’s and Villanova in a 6/11 first round match up that should be a good game.
Marquette and Murray State out be something to watch – Howard against the Dude from Murray State
-
@Woodrow I don’t want us to play 4 guards again this season. We’ve lost about 7 games that way
(edit: US playing four guards, not against four guards)
-
They were mediocre during the regular season. Compare them to seton hall of last yr who did Similar. Ku can win or lose, nothing should surprise us
-
@DanR with a a few days to prepare hopefully Self can come up with a way to play Dedric and DMac and still guard
-
I wish KU played Friday instead of Thursday. As soon as we lose, whenever it is, I will pout and quit watching. At least for a few days. But I sure enjoy this tournament.
-
@HighEliteMajor Thanks for your comment. This is the best proof yet as year after year I hear about the NCAA screwing us with the bracket. Salt Lake is the furthest from home we’ve played I’m sure in a decade.

But D Lawson guarding a perimeter guard?
-
Good draw for KU.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 We are so offensively challenged, we need whatever gives us points, I think. Heck, play zone. Pressure that 3 pt line. Reality is there are no good answers right now. We desperately need Agbaji to get going — that would make things a lot better.
-
Where art thou Romeo???
-
@wissox Maybe they are just trying to give us a chance to be humiliated further by their shenanigans.
-
Heard 3:00
-
KU and Northeastern will tip after the conclusion of the first game Thursday in Salt Lake City (New Mexico State/Auburn), which tips at 12:30 p.m. CST. So likely around 3 p.m. CST Thursday (on TNT). #kubball
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I can’t make it home from work that early. Will need an OT game before so I can make it.
-
@wissox There is that new fangled contraption called a DVR.
-
@HighEliteMajor True, i prefer watching live.

We haven’t been lower than a 2 seed in a decade.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 on the flip side, their little guard on Lawson while we’re on offense. I’d take that matchup. I know Self is preoccupied with defense, but our problem is on the other end of the court.
-
@DanR I just wish we had an athletic 4 guy! I hope he finishes better than he did sat.
