The criteria that the committee use is completely selective from year to year

It's whatever they want it to be. They lay out the criteria, then completely ignore it.

Every year we have the hardest bracket,, the NCAA is out to punish us any way possible, there is not enough media respect for KU, etc etc etc. Y'all are certainly entertaining!

Bottom line: You play the game in front of you, one at a time. We only play 4 teams out of the 15 others in our bracket, and only 1 from the other half. Might win out, might not! Enjoy it!!!

The conspiracy lives!

Even the game announcers call us Kansas State.

And K-State calls us "Daddy".

Truth is, you can't get smoked by the same team twice in the last week. So, they hammered us.

Complain About KU's Unfair Bracket Thread • Mar 12, 2023 09:58 PM

I think they screwed the B12 to the wall.

Bold Prediction: KU vs. Texas in the FF.

@Jethro I was afraid of Auburn that was it. Once they were eliminated it was perfect setup for us

Iowa is a joke plays zero defense ect (last year and this year)

This is the draw we didn’t want

I'll let you worry about it. I'm not concerned.

Complain About KU's Unfair Bracket Thread • Mar 12, 2023 09:36 PM

The East is very easy.

@Jethro no joke gotta beat some good teams.

Arkansas can beat us easily they are what we struggle against

Zags 3 seed out west along with ucla

No way we make it out of this bracket

You said that last year.

Complain About KU's Unfair Bracket Thread • Mar 12, 2023 09:33 PM

We got hosed, but I still think we have a good shot at the FF.

Complain About KU's Unfair Bracket Thread • Mar 12, 2023 09:29 PM

I take it they don't want a repeat champion.

Illinois a potential 2nd round matchup scares me a bit.

Not worried a bit. They won't get past Arkansas.

Complain About KU's Unfair Bracket Thread • Mar 12, 2023 09:15 PM

we'll get Arkansas in the 8/9, and Uconn in the 4/5.

No midwest for us.

The Bench Theory • Mar 12, 2023 12:18 PM

My theory is we don't develop the bench because it results in losses while we're doing it. And it works 99% of the time. The only time it doesn't work is when we play 3 straight games. My evidence is a 14 point loss to Tenn, and the 100 point loss we just suffered to Texas. Go with your best 7 to 8 guys- that gets you to 80+% wins. It means you have speed bumps in preconf tourneys and the title game of the B12. Yes, I know it didn't stop them last year. But last year, the B12 was not the behemoth it was this year. We just played 3 tournament teams in straight days.

@wissox said in Texas game chat (danger I'm 0-1 in my last game chats):

I'm willing to clear my good name. Although @BShark has handled it brilliantly I believe that some unfairly blame me for the last game chat I started causing us to lose. We can overcome the so called curse of Wissox.

WE GOOD

Nothing personal because I love your posts, but I vote we let BShark start the thread every game thru the NCAA tournament. Not saying it's you- just trying to cover the bases.

we're not the same team w/o Kev.

YES

@dylans said in Texas game chat (danger I'm 0-1 in my last game chats):

@Jethro Luckily this is the last time this team will be playing 3 games in 3 days.

agreed.

the good news is our starters can go the whole game, because they have to. the bad news? it really sucks on the 3rd straight night of tournaments. there have been Tenn vibes in this game. terrible defense. listless on offense.

JW- the legend grows....

omg...mccullar, where art thou?

GRADEY ALWAYS LISTENS TO ME

Mj makes a shot and all of a sudden the effort level goes up

He still looked like a 7 foot center dribbling the ball across half court, looking for someone to pass it to

i held my breath

can jw score 75? anybody else want to make a basket?

DOG FIGHT

RICE

@BeddieKU23 said in Texas game chat (danger I'm 0-1 in my last game chats):

He just doesn't have any confidence and his handles are awful

He's trying to play too fast. he never has his body underneath himself- he's always leaning too far

what ever happened to good bobby?

bobby, just pass it to someone else

bobby with the ankle pass...

not a great effort so far. defense needs to tighten up.

pick up the energy, guys.

I like our chances today. I don't think we've played our best game yet. The defense has been sensational, and the passing has been tremendous.

@stoptheflop said in Other games:

The Texas bench scored 23 pts last night; 15 by Bishop. In 47 min of playing our bench scored 6 pts. In 23 min of playing time Joe was 1-4 and Bobby didn't shoot in his 8 min. I sure wish KU had a Remy Martin type player on the bench; Mr. offense. I'm satisfied and excited for Udeh and his future at KU. But, how did our coaching staff miss so badly on the other bench players? From here on, Jalen, Gradey and Juan cannot have an off night.

How in the world did Tang get COY? Did you see how terrible they looked? It's going to be incredible if they even sniff a win in the tournament. They're a joke.

We're a #1 seed, win or lose. We owe Texas payback, so let's finish it out and take the #1 overall seed.

One of the best defensive efforts of the year

Might be the best effort of the year. Great energy and determination.

the Clones join Baylor and Silo Tech on the heap of the pretender's pile.

Fantastic win. I'm very proud- that was a great effort.
