There is no doubt in my crazy Jayhawk mind that KU had the best team in 2010.

Tyshawn • Mar 12, 2018 02:01 AM

@kjayhawks @Gunman Twitter brings out the worst of every fan base.

I technically don't even live in a town now. It's an "unincorporated census-designated place". Wouldn't trade it for a big city.

The title was right there for the taking in 11. :/

Thursday 1PM CST • Mar 12, 2018 01:49 AM

10 and 11 made me the saddest since 97 and 03.

So these games will be played in the illustrious INTRUST Bank Center...I've never been there. It's visible off Kellogg (54), looking just North. It's actually on the "FlyOver" before you get to the Hillside area.

Anyone going? I'm tempted, but not sure what tix are available. I live in the OKC area. I went to the horrible game in the then Ford Center with Cole and Collins...the UNI nightmare. By the way, I'm still trying to figure out what a Farokmanesh really is...

NEVER GO TO ANOTHER TOURNAMENT GAME AGAIN. IT IS YOUR SACRED DUTY.

lol

I mean I guess if we keep seeing a bunch of this crap, it should get the attention of our players.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 01:23 AM

It's going to be a very interesting game imo. Either of them can give KU a game.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 01:09 AM

@KUSTEVE He can recruit though. I think they have enough talent next year to roll the ball out there and be in the 3-6 range. Should be enough to avoid the hot seat.

KU is going to pimp slap the league next year of course. Continuing the dominance and going back to a more vintage KU team. Imo anyway...

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 01:07 AM

@KUSTEVE Not sold on Prohm at all. He might be a goober.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 01:05 AM

@KUSTEVE I posted an article talking about how Self talked to Hoi about it. ISU fans are super weird though.

Thursday 1PM CST • Mar 12, 2018 12:45 AM

Brad Nessler / Steve Lavin / Evan Washburn announcers.

To me, that's an average group. I'm not angry about it.

We should get Kevin Harlan if we get to Omaha though, which would be FANTASTIC.

Thursday 1PM CST • Mar 12, 2018 12:39 AM

@truehawk93 Been there a lot, not a fan. Better than Manhattan tho!

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 12:38 AM

Hoiberg's daughter goes to KU btw. Self likes Hoi. Contrast to the likes of Bruce or Drew lol.

@BShark Ya, you could say that lol. It’s just to close no to go, intrust is an hour from my driveway. The trouble is right now tickets are $250 and I’m too poor for that.

I was thinking about going but that's a lot for me as well.

Crappy game time lol, I’m think @cragarhawk and I may try to go Saturday, if we win of course.

Oh cool. You guys buds?

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 12:16 AM

Syracuse in and USC not is a crime against all of basketball.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 12:15 AM

Not worried about the players. Doesn't really matter what we, as fans, do.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 12:12 AM

Big 12 opens 4-3 imo.

@BShark watching the Nova vs. SHU game on YouTube now. Haven’t seen them play yet this season.

They are good. 11 losses is a lot for their talent level imo so their coach might be a donk. That makes them dangerous though.

NC State is also a team that we can’t sleep on, they beat Dook and UNC this season so they won’t be intimidated by any stretch. If we can get passed that second round match up I like our chances of getting to our 3rd straight E8. Bill Self and this staff seldom lose in first games of the weekend, 9 second game losses compared to 4 first game losses.

I think a lot depends on if Desi Rodriguez is good to go for SHU. He got hurt awhile back and is their best player. I think SHU wins against NCST if he is healthy.

Angel walking double double Delgado will be a problem if we play SHU. He is crafty.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 12, 2018 12:02 AM

@Kcmatt7 I'm saving my pant pissing for when I watched the SHU v NCST game and think of all the ways those teams can beat us.

KU plays Penn in Wichitard. Game is on TBS.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 11, 2018 11:51 PM

kjayhawks said:

I said on the other thread that you could make a strong case for Penn as a 14 seed. Maybe it will help keep us focused, one thing forsure we don’t wanna be the first 1 seed to lose to a 16.

The one type of team we didn't lose to this year is the nonathletic donks from a small conference. In fact we boat raced all of them. From what I've seen of Penn so far they are very slow. Should be able to get good looks based on speed and athleticism.

Devonte said about Doke: "He said he's feeling good; hopefully we have him Thursday." Devonte said some buddies off NC State's team have already texted him. He said NC State was in his top two schools when he chose KU.

watched penn play over the weekend. they are extremely disciplined and their post play is very solid. will be closer than it should be for a 1/16 and I wouldn’t count them out. they’ve got some shooters. just hope it’s not an 11 am game.

Otoh they beat UMKC by 3.

Penn, at 127 in KenPom, is the highest-rated 16 seed in the last 6 seasons.

Tyshawn • Mar 11, 2018 11:08 PM

He's still going at it. I'm howling.

Bracket Discussion • Mar 11, 2018 11:03 PM

We should win, but it's stupid.

There are 3 15 seeds and a 14 seed worse than Penn in KenPom rankings. The Quakers are even 109 in the stupid-but-all-important RPI, so I'm not sure what committee was looking at.

Early line is KU -15.

@KUSTEVE It's all good. I hate WSU ftr.

@KUSTEVE LOL

Bracket Discussion • Mar 11, 2018 10:53 PM

@Blown

So Penn probably isn't a 16 seed by the numbers, but it's hard to complain about a 16 seed.

I’m a little worried about a Duke or MSU match in the EE, those two teams may have the most talent in the field. But we’d have to get there first.

I think we say this every year and it's overblown we crushed the same michigan st team last yr

That was a 15 loss MSU team. Cassius Winston is greatly improved.

West Virginia and WSU potential🤪

Very ANGRY game.

Kcmatt7 said:

As good of a bracket as you could have hoped for.

Definitely.

BeddieKU23 said:

We can beat both teams

Have you seen Bagley?

BeddieKU23 said:

Couldn't have been gifted a better route to the elite 8

Agree. Not getting to the FF though. Duke/MSU will win this region.

@cragarhawk Really is wide open to the EE.

Clemson and Auburn though, that's not bad for us!

Seton Hall is a tough match-up. Delgado inside is a beast.

Also you know Missouri is gonna be in our 8/9 game. @HighEliteMajor called it in advance too.

@Crimsonorblue22 Duke and MSU I bet.

DODGED THE SHOCKERS. CRISIS AVERTED.

Arizona Kentucky in the SECOND ROUND. HOLD ME. MERCY.

Glad Arizona isn't in our bracket.
