I'm Sure This Will Get Brought Up A Lot • Mar 24, 2017 03:27 PM

@brooksmd Doesn't mean it won't decide the champion.

KU v UNC to decide the title.

The West is now dead to me also. Craptastic.

WVU vsZags Early Game • Mar 24, 2017 01:14 AM

@BShark I was yelling for them to foul. Why not?

WVU vsZags Early Game • Mar 24, 2017 01:05 AM

KU matches up well with Oregon. But first things first.

WVU vsZags Early Game • Mar 24, 2017 12:24 AM

The Oregon michigan game is tight too. Hopefully KU wins in a blowout so I can get to sleep tonight!

Wow, this is going to be great! • Mar 23, 2017 10:36 PM

@wissox K-State.

I dunno, call me crazy • Mar 23, 2017 08:47 PM

3 in the elite eight and 2 of the final four could happen. Baylor's bracket is weak. KU is strong. WVU gives teams fits with the press.

Go KU!!!

@drgnslayr We owe Purdue for Big Dog Glenn Robinson.

Uncomfortable Exchange... • Mar 23, 2017 05:13 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Don't link that crapfest to our boys! The Star needs to go down in flames if they won't drastically change their ways. I want news reported, not made by the paper.

I'm sure it's a nice article, but no clicks from me.

BOILERMAKER BUCKETS • Mar 23, 2017 02:38 PM

Self is a classy guy.
Always respected him and have always liked Kansas more than the other traditional blue bloods. Not tonight though.

He (Bill) sounded respectful and informed. Now I hate him more.

These comments are way better than what KU receives most of the season.

Touchy Situation/ Thoughts • Mar 23, 2017 02:17 PM

@mayjay 3 sweet sixteens in the 70s according to Wikipedia. '71-73. That's what I was going by. Also ESPN talked about the '70s sweet sixteen on air.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Carolina_Gamecocks_men's_basketball ↗

http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/tournament/history/_/team1/7350 ↗

ESPN has '72 and '73 listed as 2 win tournaments for the cocks.

Can't say that I follow them, so I don't know if it's right or not. You live there now (right?), did you live there 50 years ago also?

Anybody see this? • Mar 23, 2017 02:16 PM

Bill Self can't get into the dorm without a resident letting him in. The team was in KC. So it was either non-player resident or a guest. Since five players are listed as witnesses, while not present when the event occurred, that means they likely have seen the victim and/or the accused in the building. They didn't see or participate in the rape. They had no chance to stop it. This shouldn't reflect upon the character of the team.

There was a rape on a college campus? In a dorm? Sorry if I'm not surprised. It's horrible, but all too common. If one of the team had done it we'd know by now, they wouldn't be listed as witnesses but rather as suspects. It is news, but not basketball news. There are precious few details of the event and nothing new. There has been more news print on this than most murders that occur in Kansas.

The Star & Eagle are pieces of crap. I haven't clicked on their sites for nearly a year now. Don't miss them either.

The rape should be a non-basketball story that gets this much pub. How many rapes per year in Kansas? Why don't they get any attention? All those women deserve justice.

More disturbing to me is Vick getting away with striking a woman. Hooking Bragg up with his ex who then got Bragg into hot water (I might be mis-remembering this one). Aggravating another to the point of getting Josh involved in a mob scene.

I'm tired of the crap storm around Vick.

LOL, here is a little Karma to bite • Mar 23, 2017 01:23 PM

My seven year old who randomly picked teams out of the air has a bracket almost as good as Jay. Hahahaha. He has VCU losing to KU in the championship game. With that pick he may pass up Mr Williams at the conclusion. Hehehe

My worst bracket is better than those and I have only watched about 30 minutes of non-KU games and a few hours of sports center all year. I do read ESPNs site daily, but as you can see their info may not be the most useful.

@jayballer54 have you filled out a second chance bracket yet? Better hurry entries must be in before the games start today!

Touchy Situation/ Thoughts • Mar 23, 2017 01:16 PM

@mayjay When it's your first Sweet Sixteen since 73, It's probably pretty difficult create much interest. I'm surprised Frank would go to such a program. Heck of a job he's doing this year. Wish he was in Little man-hattan. That place could use some class and a great coach.

(Yes I think Frank is classy- listen to him post game always very complimentary of the other team/coach)

@jayballer54 See, we are easily distracted by something shiny. Threads turns into something else constantly - just drive the bus the way you want it to go. Ignore the bozos and continue your narrative. Hope today finds you in good spirits!

KU Buckets Bracket Challenge! • Mar 23, 2017 01:42 AM

@JayHawkFanToo that's last years final second chance bracket. And an invitation to enter this years entries are due in by tomorrow.

Congrats on your current bracket. Wish mine didn't suck.

Josh Jackson video • Mar 22, 2017 05:42 PM

@drgnslayr In that video it says that Bill Self and Izzo have 11 combined final fours. That MSU has 9 total. So Izzo has 100% of MSU's final fours? It seems like they had earlier success too.

Never mind I looked Izzo has 7! Final Fours. Wow! But only one championship ouch!!! They must be crediting Bill with two of Roy's final fours. As far as I recall it's just 2008 and 2012.

TCU • Mar 22, 2017 05:34 PM

@jayballer54 Last year.

Here's the mindset I want our guys in - Take no prisoners.

Crank up your volume to 11 to listen to this properly. Gonna scare the neighbors. Old but appropriate for this March and our warriors.

If that doesn't get your blood flowing nothing will.

Probably throw a party.

I'd believe that about Lavar, but the boys seem ok. Man that Dad though...what a mess.

KU Buckets Bracket Challenge! • Mar 22, 2017 02:14 PM

Motivation to enter @approxinfinity 2nd place?!? Time to win this season. @RockChalkinTexas You've got the winner this year!!! @mayjay top 5 this season with only one bracket??? @DanR will this be the year you top the bracket?!? @Crimsonorblue22 Come on, join in the fun!!! @Kip_McSmithers One pick away from the top, can you do it this year???

I'm less than impressed with my picks this year. Whomever dethrones me can have half the prize money I won last year.

KU Buckets Bracket Challenge! • Mar 22, 2017 02:06 PM

Second Chance Bracket ↗

Here's an opportunity to start a new bracket at the sweet sixteen. Discard that busted bracket and enter one in the second chance challenge. The number of entries is unlimited, but it's more sporting to only enter one instead of 25!

Best of luck to all!

Next recruit up • Mar 22, 2017 01:59 PM

@BShark I'd take him. I was really hoping Cody Riley's big body would be wearing Crimson and Blue. His loss.

What Sticks Out? • Mar 22, 2017 01:34 PM

Careful when asking a bunch of dudes what sticks out!

Keep your chin up. Ignore the haters, they get bored fast. Shows their level of intellect.

Kevin Harlan is a genius • Mar 22, 2017 12:55 PM

The power of white trash. I can't believe she's making money off of being trashy. One of Vick's exes?

This isn't going anywhere good.

Sweet 16 Schedule • Mar 21, 2017 01:47 PM

ESPN has re-seeded the sweet 16 with KU #1. Another site was the same (not CBS apparently) but I can't remember which.

Lotta bottom row of the cheerleader pyramid material there.

VOTE: Frank Mason! • Mar 20, 2017 03:05 PM

@drgnslayr The most common/free ip spoofers only have a handful of IP address that you can use. Many are just used to change your region so one could redeem European UV codes in the US or vice versa. Of course there are more dubious uses.

If votes from the same IP address are thrown out or blocked daily each service I've seen only has 20-100 ip addresses, so one person could throw in a couple hundred votes a day. But only one person could use it per day.

If you want to vote multiple times per day all you have to do is clear your cookies or use private mode. This won't change your IP address so the votes will likely be thrown out at the end. I imagine this is most of the cheating votes.

I'm just voting once per day. If you have multiple routers you can vote more than once per day. Just vote once on each router from a device. Cell phone, office, home wifi. No way to filter that out yet, as long as you use different devices.

VOTE: Frank Mason! • Mar 20, 2017 02:58 PM

Daily vote bump

A ProofofToughness Lesson... • Mar 20, 2017 01:57 PM

@drgnslayr I'm sure Frank will put pressure on the bigs by driving to the hole hard all game. He's a game changer in how he fouls up the other teams bigs. Thankfully It's not Lucas vs Swanigan, it's a team effort.

KU Buckets Bracket Challenge! • Mar 20, 2017 01:52 PM

Only 18 brackets out of 18.8 million that have the sweet 16 correct. It takes a rare hybrid fan a S. Carolina/Michigan fan to get it correct.

Duke was in the final four of around 8 million of the 18.8 million brackets. Including 7 of mine.

Rhode Island needs to clean up the pee puddle and get back after it.

Eh, go KU!

So KU's 2 Louisville is gone and the 3 seed Oregon is down 5 with 10 minutes left. I know one game at a time, but I'm getting excited.

Seton Hall fans appear really needy with really low goals on twitter.

We could get a tournament win against Arkansas with you! Wooo Hooo!!! Round of 32 2018 here we come!!!

I wouldn't want a player with such low aspirations. I don't think Duval is shooting for less than a championship/NBA $$$. Show out to get paid. Winners get paid.

@ParisHawk I didn't join a frat either, so that doesn't appeal to me. If it did I'd be a Duke fan. Yuck!

@ParisHawk The money line is ugly too -420 for KU +350 for MSU

It seems like only us Bucketeers and our team are taking Sparty seriously.

@kjayhawks I look more at the top 25 record. I filled out a random bracket with that being the only predictor. It worked out pretty good as no school can top KU's 9 top 25 wins (9-3 record).

I look more at the people who have money at stake. If Vegas has KU as an 8 pt favorite then that is good sign of popular opinion. If the masses think KU is an 8 pt favorite, that gives KU a good chance to win. But KU is horrible against the spread so far this season so look for a 5pt game unless the full throttle play (like against UC Davis) continues.

I would be very happy with a blowout, but expect a tight game.
