@Crimsonorblue22 It certainly isn't gospel and not saying it will happen that way - but these guys play a lot closer attention to this stuff and they may have contacts with committee members to get an idea of what they are valuing the discussions. The chair of last year's selection committee yesterday said he thought it was more likely that the committee this year would not place as much emphasis on geography - trumping balance. He thought the overall #1 should be matched against the last #2 seed, and that is very likely us.

As I postulated yesterday - and feared - both Lunardi and Palm have KU in UK's bracket. Palm moved Wisconsin up to the 1 line and moved Duke down.
@brooksmd Back at you - nighty night boys and girls
@Crimsonorblue22 No chance once we got by TCU - locked in as #2 now.
@BeddieKU23 Well, we will be the last #2 - geography has trumped balance in past years - we'll see if it that holds this year. Former head of the selection committee was saying it should be 1 vs. 8.
@wissoxfan83 Villanova also in a close one - Badgers could pass them as well if they don't win the BE
Not to throw cold water on the proceedings, but UVA is down 10 to UNC - if Wisconsin wins out, possibility they could leapfrog UVA for a #1 seed - more likely we would be in UK's bracket then.
@Crimsonorblue22 I take it all back - for tonight anyway
So, Selden is by far our leading scorer with 16 pts - who'd of thunk it...
uh oh - Perry is hurting
@brooksmd Hah - didn't get the memo
No rhythm - put DG back in with FM + Hunter
How can we lose a 15 point lead to a team that struggles to score???
@BeddieKU23 I exhausted the inventory
@BeddieKU23 Exasperating, frustrating, vexatious, and gd irritating
15 pt lead down to 6 in a matter of 3 minutes - as soon as I write that - BG finally hits one.
@brooksmd But the guys seem intent on not allowing that to be the case
@KUSTEVE So, there may be a 10-0 run - just not ours. We cannot friggin' hold a lead...
@brooksmd I don't know about anyone else, but I would really really really like to be bored for a change..
@brooksmd We can't handle prosperity
@brooksmd Dunno - if you get any intel, let me know
@KUSTEVE 8-2 run - close enough for me
@KUSTEVE 6
@KUSTEVE Well, there's 2
@KUSTEVE Are you smoking something?
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes, hard to believe...
@BeddieKU23 Fair point
Okay - reality check. Good news is that we held them to 5-25 and 1-10 from 3. They had 10 TOs. And, we out rebounded them. Given those stats, we should be up by 20. They may be happy that they are still in the game.
We haven't come out on fire and extended a lead in two forevers - lets hope this time is different....
@cragarhawk Mostly the former - Hunter has them spooked in the post!
Weren't purty, but will take the lead. Now, can we come out after the break and extend it!?
@BeddieKU23 We look so much better on O when we have both PGs in at the same time
Hitting the glass!!!
@BeddieKU23 Cliff who?
@wissoxfan83 Saving grace - since making first 3 shots, we're 4 of 22 with 7 TOs - but we have a lead!
@KUSTEVE A Self kind of game
@BeddieKU23 Love Frank for his tenacity, but great distributor/pass first PG he is not.
Where is Svi???
@brooksmd Hope springs eternal
Whoever breaks 40 wins!
@BeddieKU23 He's more active this game, but he can't finish and i really don't want him shooting from outside - or shooting FTs!
@KUSTEVE It starts with 1
@brooksmd If you want "pretty" watch Maryland - Indiana - 42-40 at half.
@BeddieKU23 Where is Hunter!!!
@KUSTEVE The 15 footer is there for Perry all day - he doesn't have to be out to 3 range
@Crimsonorblue22 He desparate to see the ball go in the bucket!
We've missed 6 straight with 5 TOs.
BG is forcing it - too quick and hand in his face
Sloppy now or both sides
@Crimsonorblue22 Make first 3 shots and miss everything since.
@KUSTEVE So Selden does have some hop - just no handle...
