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.

Clones choking.

Love to see it

Ole Miss plays tonight for a chance at #7, although I don’t see them beating Iowa State.

Puttin' it on them right now.

7 teams to the Sweet 16.

This ****ing league, man.

I picked Maryland in my bracket but I wanted Colorado St to win. They were a fun team to watch.

As it stands now, the only double digit seed in the sweet 16 is Arkansas. New Mexico is giving MSU a game. It's as chalky as I've ever seen it.

Yeah, what do I know apparently.

Didn’t expect Iowa State to lay a turd and Ole Miss to shoot 60% from 3.

Looks like the SEC may get that record after all.

Rough night for the Big 12.

You're supposed to do a 180 and like them now for reasons...

Iowa State is a loser.

14 teams from SEC got in. Looks like 7 could make it to the Sweet 16. If that holds, that's 50%

7 teams from the Big 12 got in...Looks like 4 could make it to the Sweet 16. If that holds, that's 57%.

Not too shabby...

Ready for your crow?

UK has gotten farther than I expected, so congrats and good job there. I didn't expect them to make it to the Sweet 16. But when they drew Illinois, I knew it was very possible, because of how athletic Kentucky is, and how that's so not the case with illinois.

It was definitely traveling, and you can tell by all the stupid talking heads trying to explain how it wasn't. Total travel.

You'd think the SEC has already won the National Championship... or uh, one in the past decade.

But no, blue bloods just crazy happy their conference has a bunch of teams in the Sweet Sixteen.

About as satisfying as anything I've seen all year.

No one’s won shit, gotta do it two more weekends to prove anything.

That said, seven teams from one conference in the Sweet 16 is pretty damn impressive.

Probably why it’s an all time record.
