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 think we have cracked the nut.

Is that where they picked up all of the chicks or something?

How about the NC athletic director Bubba Cunningham making an extra $104,166.66 for the @GoHeels making @NCAA Tournament - just happens to be the chair of @MarchMadnessMBB pic.twitter.com/Aviy9I9BEw

It looked like a hostage video yesterday when the Sun Belt commissioner was sitting next to the UNC AD, trying to justify UNC’s inclusion in the tournament.

Also trying to pretend that the UNC AD had no influence on the decision.

What an embarrassment, to have such a conflict of interest... everyone has their biases and what not, no matter how much they say it's all about the resume and data, but yeah $100k will do it.

NIL and the transfer window have ruined the sport. Now college BB is as lame and shitty as the NBA.

I would put you in the tourney as a 1 man team for $100,000. As a 5 seed so they can't claim bias though.

Ok how are you embedding this because my usual way through Twitter hasn’t worked for a while now?

The usual link just sends me to a poodle sitting in a chair, which, while delightful, isn’t what I’m looking for: https://publish.twitter.com/?url=htt...50465671307456

Are you on mobile app or desktop?

You can't embed through mobile app that I'm aware of.

Thanks, on mobile at the moment (and most of the time) but I just figured out a way to do it through the Safari browser on x.com. Hopefully that will continue to work.
