***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.

I can see it now.

Not a chance they get by Arkansas given the matchup issues with that team. Worst draw KU could have been given.

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

KJ Adams is the last beacon of real basketball.

BWillie has fallen.

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

Yes. As soon as I saw Arkansas show up as the 10 standing outside a TGI Friday’s at the Miami airport this evening, I knew we were done. Have you seen their guards? Their 3 PT shooting big?

It’s a wrap.

NCAA conspired to put Self and Cal in primetime as expected.

Nobody cares about Self.

They care about Calipari vs Pitino.

Due to wins over Duke and MSU months ago as well as a 55 point blowout win over UCF in January. They are far closer in true talent level than their KP ratings indicate and the matchup is horrendous.

You’ll get your full preview later this week but this was not the team we wanted to see here of all possible options.

Another reason to anticipate Arkansas will win, yes.

I like how you think! GO COOGS!




(I think Duke wins it all. Them or Florida). I do have Final 4 tix though. Would be so cool if UH gets there!

Our sorrows do seem to be correlated to no more Salty Iguana.

I think we have cracked the nut.
