Kansas Crimson

I'd give us a 60% chance at landing a 5 seed, 40% at a 4.

Gasaway has chosen correctly from his group of 8 for 7 seasons in a row.
We ain't on it.

Arizona, UConn, Creighton, Duke, Houston, Kentucky, Purdue, Tennessee

How crazy is it that KU beat half that list?

How did we beat kentucky? tennessee? uconn? houston? baylor? texas? tcu?

how did we beat them? how can we get back there? can we get back there?

It would take full health from Kevin and Hunter to even be 3-5 point underdogs vs those first 4 mentioned.

I think UConn would take us to the woodshed if we met them again, regardless.

Tech does us a solid and beats BYU possibly knocking them out of 4 seed contention.

Looking at Nevada, San Diego State, South Carolina.

LoL, right!?!?

Nevada looses.

We are cheering for Utah State and Auburn ( yuck ) today.
Both those teams are favorites and if they both win, I think we lock in a 4.

Right now Joey Brackets has us matching up v VCU - I would not like that matchup.
Top 40 in 3P% and 3 point rate - meaning they shoot the 3 more than most and shoot it better than most.

Of those 13's in his bracket, give me UC Irvine all day. Like a worse ksu.

KU is still capable of beating anyone. How funny will it be when this team gets some favorable match ups and plays well, and makes a deep run

Will make this whole meltdown disappear real fast

i hope you are right.

but i think it is more likely we are starting our offseason next weekend.

i hope you are right.

We currently have better odds from Vegas to make the Final Four than teams like Creighton, Duke, Baylor.

I don't like the value there at all.

Replace “Kansas” with, like, “Missouri,” and the good program premium would evaporate.

Well, if we're talking MIZZOU odds for a Final Four, then we'd have to bring in theoretical math like infinity and imaginary numbers.

You know as bad as this season was, we still beat the shit out of mizzou, beat Kentucky, blew out k state at home, blew out in state school wichita state, and beat 3 of the 4 #1 seeds

If KU makes the Sweet Sixteen then I will count it as a positive season given the roster situation they are in after the whiff on Timberlake and the Morris situation so late in the calendar.

I expect that McCullar is good to go health wise. He looked physically fine the last time he played. No clue what to expect from Dickinson but if he is even 80%+ then I think they can gut on a Round of 32 win and make the Sweet Sixteen. We'll see where they end up and who their first two opponents look to be.

It wasn't a terrible season; the non-con was great but Big 12 play has been frustrating and unenjoyable. They can't all be awesome. I suspect next season will be better both in performance and enjoyability.

South Carolina looses.

I think San Diego States the only remaining team that could steal a 4.

I hope we get a 4

but also wonder if we even deserve a 4 after loosing 4 of our last 5 including loosing our last two by a combined FIFTY POINTS

but maybe the committee will give us the injury benefit of the doubt and realize we're a whole different team with Hunter and Kevin

We have better wins that any of the other possible 4s.

I think SDSt jumps us if they win the MW.

At this point, if this team makes it past the first weekend I will call the season a success.
