Post by: nicname on March 14, 2011, 06:10:43 PM
yet complain when prognosticators and statisticians show that your team has a lower percent chance of advancing as a result?

It sucks for them because every year their region sends 2 teams to the Elite 8 and 1 team to the Final Four.  Must be terrible to get stuck in regions like that year in and year out, feel sorry they get screwed like that all the time.

This would be their biggest choke job yet. They should beat either of those teams by 20.

the "choke" factor is in their teams head. As much as their fans and players don't want to accept it..its there. They should stomp UNLV or Illinois...but they'll be close games. Just watch.

KU fans at my work do not agree. Toughest region. No way they make it out. Got screwed again.  :flush:

Def not the toughest region. I think we match up pretty well with our region, actually. No excuses for not AT LEAST making it to the Elite 8.

I agree with this.  You should roll til you get to Louisville.

Agree with the upset at the elite 8. In my bracket I have KU getting bounced there. I was looking for the choke job, but don't think anyone has the bigs to match up with the twins until then...

Just curious, what team do you have beating KU? Notre Dame? I think the way ND beats us is with perimeter shooting. If they have an off shooting night I think KU takes it because they don't have much to match up with the twins and T-Rob.

Yeah, if KU draws ND, ND wins. If they play Purdue, KU wins.
