***Official NCAA Tournament Thread***

[KC_Connection]

Seeing as Bearcat banned me from the KU basketball thread for daring to use statistics to dispel the constant trashing of the team’s best player this year by far, I’ll need somewhere to put my thoughts for this year’s tournament.

In sum, the committee screwed KU again. Their resume (and wins) should have had them at at least a 6 seed and maybe even a 5. Arkansas is also the toughest matchup they could have had among possible opponents and KU matches up horribly against them (stay tuned as to why).

As far as the rest of the tournament goes, I’m picking Houston to win it all and Kentucky (fraud) to lose in the first or second round.

Whoever gets hot wins. Thats how it works.


If it worked any other way Syracuse would have gotten anally raped by KU years ago.

I was pretty drunk last night, I worded it wrong. Basically what I was trying to say is that the top dogs and blue bloods will still win the championships, the NIL won't change it. The last 3 College Football champs in the NIL era? Georgia,Michigan, and Ohio State. The big dogs will always eat regardless of the system.

It just doesn't work that way, I wish it did.

I think KU has more coaches than players left.

Would rather watch reruns of an old sitcom.

You preferred when they were paid under the table?!? Why?

I thought that ight bet a response!

Because now it is standard practice and expected. Before, it was suspected, but not universal or out in the open.

But the main issue is the transfer proliferation. I think back about how fun it was to watch a player progress through the years on your team.

It's ruined now, no going back.

Heading to San Antinio for the Final 4.

FF about 30 minutes from the tip off of game 1

[Pepe Silvia]

Almost game time. Auburn/Duke for the title.

[neech]

Which team are we supposed to root for right now?

[Pepe Silvia]

Auburn had an 8 point lead at the half but choked it away and now Florida is in control.

I just tuned in, and that ref down on the Auburn end of the court made 3 terrible calls in a row against Florida. Money on Auburn perhaps?

Glad I'm not the only one seeing this. Broome has been allowed to hack the Florida big on the catch away from the basket all night too.
