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.

UNC getting in above WVU is bonkers.

WVU has 6 Quad 1 wins.

UNC? Well they had their AD head the committee and convinced them that UNCs 1-12 quad 1 record was better than that.

Texas is in the play-in game because they’re gonna draw a shit ton of eyeballs for NCAA/CBS/Turner and not much more.

Because it certainly wasn’t the basketball in their case.

I knew UNC would get in no matter what.

I don't think I've ever seen an at large team with twice as many conferences losses as wins make it into the tournament. There are plenty of examples of teams being maybe a game or two under .500 in conference with a decent non-con and some great wins getting in... but, that's not Texas. They've lost to two of the worst 3 teams in the SEC in just the past couple weeks.

None of them can come back? KU is gonna have an offense again next year.

I dont watch much. But have always thought if you are sub .500 in conference, you do not deserve to be in.

I will only watch drake this year and will spend most of thurs/fri blocking boys from watching and killing bandwidth at school..

Love this Florida team. So unselfish and so many weapons. I’ll be super satisfied when they take out Hurley and UConn in the second round.

UNC getting in is ****ing crazy.

The selection committee being chaired by their AD makes it less crazy.

They have too much offense, it will be a miracle if there is a team who is able to keep up with them.

I'm excited to play that slimeball Cal! Don't see mu making it past Drake, with all those mo guys on that team ought to be fun

As a Des Moines resident and a fair weather Missouri fan, not happy about this first round matchup. Would have liked to see both of them get to the second weekend. Drake can absolutely beat Mizzou.

The great Hunter Dickinson will lead Kansas to a Natty.

Big Dick and the Miracles 2025.

I can see it now.

BWillie · 03-16-2025, 06:52 PM

This is probably the last year I watch the NCAA Tournament. Once they expand to 76 teams Im just gonna find another sport to follow in its place.

I hate what has become of CBB and it's only getting worse.

Remember when KU set the record for Quad 1 wins and didn’t get the overall number 1?

Absolutely brutal draw that year. Sent Self to the hospital.
