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.

No idea if that's a typical Izzo rant or not, but it had everything... starts off slow with some old man rumbling, then he gets going several times. He has the chance to end the conversation several times, but each time the reporter says something, he tangents off of it by saying "well, don't say it like that"... and then does it to himself several times with "and I don't mean...", trying to cut down every little nuance that he's thinking about and nobody asked, while also coming off slightly unhinged.

The few times he really got down to his main points, it was good stuff.

That's really cool. Lifelong UK fan here too.

UK vs Tenn in sweet 16 is an awesome SEC matchup.

Go Big Blue!!

I had BYU to the elite 8 and changed it after I heard a couple of the "experts" talking about how good VCU was as an 11 seed. Should have just gone with my original random BS picks.

displacedinMN · 03-27-2025, 05:44 PM

So--with the new large conference structure, it seems like a lot of schools in the same conference meeting up early in the tourney.

Is it my imagination or true?

Bama has hit 12 3's and there is 4 mins left in the 1st.

On pace for 25 3's.

Florida is going to win it all.

Nope. Houston doesn't have enough on offense to get it done.

Sort of the same for me. I initially had BYU to the S16 (let's face it, they were never going to lose to Wisconsin) but changed my mind after thinking VCU might get them.

They'll muck the game up and turn it into a grind, it won't matter.
