Clemson Tigers - Friday - 6:07 pm - CBS

No time to be superstitious guys. We got some tigers to hang up by their toes, some Orange men to paint red, some Mountaineers to climb over, and some aggies to teach horticulture.

Nice job! I enjoyed this one and will enjoy the Duke one, Villanova one and Loyola one!

When was Clemson actually good in that game and Auburn not terrible.

@Crimsonorblue22 I guess you're right, we need to put the South Carolina past behind us.

So CBS re-seeded the Sweet 16. What ESPN did it did for clicks. They hate that they can't broadcast anything but NIT.

I think CBS took a better view, although I would agree with them that this KU team is flawed, but this KU team is still a very good team compared to the nation as a whole. The only teams left that can really punish their weakest spots are Michigan, Kentucky (who we already beat), A&M (ditto) and Duke. I don't think Clemson has the firepower or talent, and Villanova is basically built the exact same way as KU.

The rest of the top teams we either already know (WVU, Tech) or could be exposed as weaker than the nation realizes (did you know Purdue's best non-con wins were Louisville and Arizona), particularly since Haas may be out for the rest of the season.

If we see Duke, it will be the Elite Eight. We wouldn't see Michigan until the title game, if we get that far.

This flawed KU team may have a chance to win a title, because its all but certain that some flawed team will win this title - just a question of which one.

@RockChalkinTexas Totally agree - that ESPN reseed was clickbait, and rather stinky bait too. Nice to finally get a little recognition from a media outlet, and the 3 seed seems fair to me.

Is it Friday yet???

@RockChalkinTexas Pretty hilarious to see ESPN rate WVU ahead of us in their reseed, as well as TT.

@wissox kstate and Syracuse were the only two teams KU beat that ESPNs Medcalf feels KU is better than. (Behind am and uk too)

Medcalf is constantly talking down KU; it is not the first time and he is consistently wrong. KU is 10-1 against Sweet 16 teams. I have not looked at the other teams' records but I would be surprised if anyone has a better record than KU.

WVU 3-0
KSU 3-0
TTU 1-1
UK 1-0
Texas A&M 1-0
Syracuse 1-0

Soooo.... we have a week to get Doke healthy. A week to further along Silvio. A week to get everyone rested... especially Devonte.

We should be ready to crush two opponents this weekend! Let's just hope it turns out that way because logic isn't really apart of this!

Medcalf has never shown KU any respect.

Apparently not everyone at ESPN is a moron. Bilas has the reseeding about right. ↗

I didn't realize that this will be the first time that KU has ever played Clemson.
