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.

Sure reminded me of that. The players said the same thing. Cryer said they mentioned it during the time out, before they stole the inbounds pass and scored, to pull to within 1 point. Unbelieveable! Just uncanny how similar the two games were.

Probably a slightly better experience than the last time I was in San Antonio for the Final Four, which was the KU equivalent of the Chiefs' 3-peat attempt.

It probably helped them down the stretch that they knew they had come back from a worse situation.

Yeah, saw a comment about how Duke didn't have much adversity this season, and Houston's just the type of team that will pressure you in ways you aren't used to or prepared for.

I’d say it’s pretty clear that UCONN has their next great already.

Sarah Strong is a beast.

Nebraska on the verge of their first championship in decades.

They will hang a banner no doubt. It’s literally the highest achievement for corn basketball ever. And their basketball program is less embarrassing than their football program somehow

That Crown Tournament is like the dumb reading group that they used to have in school.

You were better off watching basketball at the YMCA.
