Newell is in his bag.. Gave KUs draw an A for most lucky. Says KU is at least a 2-3 point favorite in every game they may play, regardless of opponent.

i agree. an upset here. an upset there. and this bracket is ours for the taking.

(I don't think that's actually agreeing with Newton, but whatever.)

After seeing the brackets, I certainly feel better about Kansas' chances to advance than I did a week ago. Lots of talking heads picking Iowa to advance to the Final Four in the Midwest but I don't think they should get more credit for a hot conference tourney week than Kansas does. KU played every bit as well as Iowa did in their last 3 games.

Iowa is good! About what you should expect to see in the Sweet Sixteen if you're the third #1.

Oddly, I think Baylor (the 1-4) got the softest 4/5 line.

UCLA beats Baylor if it comes to that game. But St Mary’s is an extremely weak 5 seed.

I don't think St Mary's gets by Wyoming.

Arizona: 1
Duke: 1
Kentucky: 1
Auburn: 1

And go ahead and throw Gonzaga out for purposes of this trivia.
