I don't get why people take Lunardi as the last word in seeding, he is just a middle-of-the-pack bracketologist.

Since you brought it up, can you cite one serious post or poster that said...We're gonna blow out everyone...? I woul guess the consensus is that KU wins close games with a small margin of error.
I was suggesting balance so you can get a semblance of credibility but if you don't want to do it that is your choice; it really does not make an iota of difference to me.
KK is known for being a long time KU hater. He is using hyperbole to get attention and keep 810 afloat since he has an ownership interest. He also has an interest in the 810 Zone restaurant which used to have locations at the Plaza, Town Center, Harras Casino and Lee's Summit but now there is one location on 135th in Leawwod. He has tried to open one in Lawrence and because of this he cannot antagonize KU fans, but as far as I know he has not been able to open a location there.
How exactly is TCU a 16? It finished 7th in the top ranked conference, with 13-2 non-con record and just about all of its conference loses to top 10/25 teams.
If the true top 68 teams were selected TCU would be dancing but all the auto qualifiers from the small conferences, many way outside the top 100, take spots from more deserving teams.
Perhaps for balance...and a change you could list some of the things the team did well.
KK is a K State homer and a known KU hater, you have to take what he says with a grain of salt. He is right up there with Jack Harry and every bit as irrelevant.
The 4 regional sites are Madison Square Garden, Memphis, KC and San Jose.
UNC probably prefers Memphis, Nova NY, the West Coast team San Jose and KU will end up at KC regardless of which # 1seed it is.
Just read this...

Earlier, TCU beat No. 1 Kansas 85-82 in the Big 12 tournament. The ViewFromVegas is the Horned Frogs did it as 9-point underdogs and as high as +400 on the money line at the Westgate and MGM sports books. ESPN's Joe Lunardi says Kansas will still be a No. 1 seed. If that's the case, Handicapper Marc Lawrence passes on a tidbit that five No. 1 seeds lost in the first round of their conference tourneys (2011 Pittsburgh being the most recent) and none made the Final Four.

I am with you. Now, the team has gotten the loss out of its system and does not have to worry about a streak. Hopefully they can now relax some, rest and concentrate in winning the next 6 games instead of the next 8.
And that justifies calling him a dumb SOB?
Knock it off man, he was doing his best to prevent a basket...if he didn't fall forward it is the play of the game.
Crappy way to lose but now they get more rest and no risk of injuries....
THIS is the time to drive...
Drive...please...
Dixon is worse than Huggy harassing the refs...
Fro-let?
What do you call Williams hair style?
WTF Bragg
Told ya....
With Josh we are up by double digits...
Drive, drive, drive...
This is what the POY does...
BIFM...again...
Don't want credit....want win...🤗
I said tha a while ago...
Their two guards with 3 fouls...
BIFM...
Here comes the run...
Drive on Fisher, he has 3 fouls...
Come on guys...have a little faith...
I said before the season that Bragg had potential but was unproven. No change from that.
Marked drop when Lucas goes out and Bragg comes in...
Can we say albino or is it politically incorrect?
Why indeed...
Just to annoy KU fans...
Fran...STFU...
Bs call
Mitch!!!
Coleby and Bragg have 4 of KU's 5 fouls.
From the replay looks like left ankle but he is back now....
KU playing very efficiently.
Svi playing to impress the scouts...I am good with this...
I thought Fisher had 2 fouls but scoreboard shows only one...
Svi is on fire...
Groce is probably toast...
Yes, he did and he is a great PG; however, Fran saying that if Morris played for an East Coast team (dig at KU) he would be the top PG in the country, or words to that effect (dig at Mason).
Fran doing his usual build up of Morris indirectly taking a dig at Mason...what a DB.
The ESPN box score shows both Diallo and Selden as DNP ↗
I believe Svi can do it. His game us somewhat similar to Josh, insofar as he can shoot from outside and drive, and he is a good passer with high basketball IQ, albeit without the crazy athleticism Josh has, although he prefers to shot the 3 from the corner. We will soon find out.
Pro teams care primarily about what the player will do on the court. If you don't think so I have two words for you - Tyreek Hill - apparently the fans don't care much either. Compared to what Hill did, Jackson is the proverbial altar boy.
Last night the Baylor beat writer was on 610AM and indicated that Jackson's game most closely resembles Kawhi Leonard, the player many believe to be the best in the NBA. A player with that potential will not be ignored.
Yes, what Jackson did were boneheaded mistakes of an immature teenager. Will they jeopardize his career? Absent any other big issues, absolutely not.
