I think we are a firm 5 seed right now. Currently #17 in RPI, #6 in RPI SOS, Won 7 of 8 and 5 in a row, two huge quality wins, no bad losses. Kenpom still has us at 32 which is a bit low. Also, the committee seems to weigh the end of the season a bit more heavily than the whole body of work. They won't completely look the other way but I think the recent play will erase some of the early season negatives.
The Cats have a Golden opportunity to play their way into a 4 or even a 3 seed. It would take beating KU again for a 4, and probably winning the Phillips66 for the 3 (UT or no UT)

I guess the circumstances mitigate OSU being a bad loss and if Colorado finishes at .500 or better maybe that won't be a bad loss but I think you are painting too rosy a picture here.
I'd say we're a firm 6 right now. 5 might be a bit much yet.

Do NOT want. Buuut, :ck: could exact his pound of flesh from UCONN... that would be fun.
Lunardi hasn't updated his Bracketology yet, but on his blog he just posted his S-curve/Bracket math post. He has us as the worst 6 seed right now, just ahead of aTm, G Mason, and Temple. Just behind Nova, WVU, and Xavier.

Paying attention to this is probably not a good way to score a high quality of life index but these seeds are whack. Baylor and Richmond have been living on the last four in/last four out line in the NCAA for the last two months and they are five seeds in the NIT? Meanwhile California who has not even appeared in a next four out part of anyone's bracket all year is a one seed?

Is it pretty "for sure" that we'll be in the western region? Most brackets I see have us there, but I thought for a 6 seed the region was more arbitrary (after giving locales to 1 seeds and such). Looking at plane tickets.

Best yet. Would blow up Kentucky and ND, imo.
So what do you guys think? 6 or 7 seed? :dunno:
6th seed would ensure we wouldn't have to play a 1 seed until the Elite 8. If we made the Elite 8 I would be all smiles and wouldn't care who the eff we played.
I can partially forget todays game if I see us on a 6 line sunday evening. Partially.

The Newest Jerry Palm Bracket...DO NOT WANT!

SDSU as a 1 seed is just one example.
all these bracket people seem to want to shove someone else other than duke into the last 1 seed. it has to be duke, imo. gmafb with this notre dame crap.
KU had better hope they don't have to play Utah State in the second round.
i'd be happy with usu as kstate's 11. i can't imagine how happy ku should be to get them as an 8/9.
Lunardi clown has us as a 6 vs the Izzos. BYU and Duke in our bracket too :horrorsurprise:.

Gottlieb: "KSU is a team I would not want as a 6 seed in my bracket"
Just seeing the final brackets coming in I'd say its about 55% 6 seed, 45% 7 seed for the Cats. Don't be surprise if we don't get a 7 seed.
I don't want Mich St. Izzo is you know...pretty good in the tournament.
Also, CU not making it is a joke. they got screwed

K-State is the 19th ranked team in the AP poll - Utah State is 23 - Coaches poll - Utah State is 17 & KSU is 23 - it's the 12 vs 5 game

10 seed is where I would have us right now.
The top 4 teams in the Big 12 should be in the 2-4 seed range like CBS has it.
6 seed may be a little high for OU. Good win vs Clonies but they don't have a signature win in the non con
Baylor's lack of fundamental basketball neutralizes any advantage of length. Hard to mark plays when you are never in the right spot.Here's my obligatory post reminding you all that we have no size and no shooters. Wichita State and those athletic guards who play defense is an absolute matchup nightmare for us. We've played 2 teams this season who are interested in playing defense and they both completely embarrassed us.
I think if we played Georgetown again we could compete, I think this team is much better than we played that day.
I want no part of a team like KU though. KU, BU, and UT are the worst match-ups for us in this league because they have so much length. If we can win 2 games from those 6 games I'll be pretty pleased.
I haven't watched enough WSU to know, they aren't a huge team though. Their defense would be tough.

Correct. It's kind of interesting that SDSU is hosting this year since their arena is roughly the size of Bramlage.
From my experience at first round events (Oklahoma City, Pittsburgh, KC, Omaha, etc.), they're hard as eff to fill anyways.

If the bracket is made based on where the author thinks a team will finish (and now where they are right now) then I'm fine with it. I don't agree with the projection for ISU, but if they go 14-4 in the league or something then they might be there.

Yeah, I listed that. It was pretty filled for the K-state and KU games, but not so much for the others. Plus, KCis an the exception. It's always been a college bball town. Pitt was an effing ghost town and I could see San Diego being the same. I mean, look at the Chargers attendance. Tourney games are best in a city with interest for the sport.

Currently on the 7 line against 10 Stanford. Duke is the 2 in the 2-15 matchup. I haven't seen much of Duke this year outside of the Syracuse game so I don't know if that is 1 of the more favorable matchups we could hope for or not :dunno:
Duke has the most efficient offense in the country (ridiculously good at 1.28 ppp), but also the worst defense Coach K has had in the kenpom era (back to 03).

i would love a 6 seed
I very well can see a committee enhance our resume by demising the Northern Colorado game. I could also see the committee trying to line up KU and Wichita State on the 2, 3 seed lines.
I would love a potential E8 matchup with the Shockers. That would be fun.
I would :billdance: :dance: all day for a 6 seed.

At this point, I cant see us going 10-8, so I think 11-7 would be our worst record. And with that, I don't think we would be on the 8/9 seed game come March. 5 seed will be our ceiling with a 6 or 7 seed being the more likely outcome
Mock selection committee picks #KState as a 6-seed in the NCAA tournament. Highest I've seen this season. What KSU has done is remarkable.

I emailed the guy:
Thank you for your email. I would suggest you look at the BPI and the RPI (two measures the selection committee like to use), which provides some interesting insights into the teams you list. We also weight road wins very positively, and bad home losses very negatively. As such, OSU and OU are currently trending downward. In addition, these numbers are fluid, so they will continue to evolve until Selection Sunday
Thank you again for your interest.

The KSU loss to NCol was indeed a killer that (unfortunately) the committee will not forget. I would like to see KSU grab a road win in the next two weeks. They will likely gravitate upward if this occurs, and/or if the other teams in the 7-11 range falter (like OSU and OU currently are).

This is some real big 10 hatred, or maybe just blind A10 love. How can Dayton be in the next four out but Nebraska not even be in any consideration for the tourney? Both teams are .500 in their respective conferences, but I think the big 10 is a bit harder (SARCASM) to play in than the A10. I know Dayton got a couple nice non-con wins with Gonzaga and Cal on neutral courts, but Nebraska's played a similar level of non conference (they just lost their big games) and has wins @MSU and at home over OSU. I also know that margin of victory doesn't matter, but Nebraska lost at home to Michigan by a point, they need some credit for that too. Sure Nebraska lost to UAB and had a couple tough road losses to Purdue and Penn St in the big 10, but Dayton's got such losses as Rhode Island and (ouch) USC on their resume. There is no way the A10 deserves as many teams in the tourney as the big 10 and more in than the ACC.
Fwiw we got mumped last year w/ our seedWTF are you talking about, we were one La Salle pants shitting away from taking the WSU cakewalk to the final four?
Weren't we a 4 seed last year?Yeah, that's what I thought. We played vs a play in winner.
Last year we won the Big 12 and were 27-7 and got a 6 seed.
This year we are not winning the Big 12, currently have 8 losses and will almost for sure have at least 10 by Selection Sunday...I'd say a 6 is out of the question and 7 is a long shot. Get ready for an 8/9 with Florida or Syracuse waiting for us. Don't think we're lucky enough to get that 8/9 in St Louis with the Shockers.
:bball:
Each year's resume doesn't exist in a vacuum. What other teams are doing has quite a bit to do with it. There are major variables every year.
For example, in 2011 there were 6 at large teams with 13+ losses, one as high as an 8. Two of the other 5s also had double digit losses that year. In 2010 we had 7 losses just like we did last year and got a 2 seed.
A couple more really quality wins (ISU, @OU, @OSU, B12 Tourney) could easily bump us up to the 4 or 5 line.
Are we on the bubble?1
We sucked last year and we suck this year so wgaf about our seed, we're going to lose early
Are we on the bubble?
Are we on the bubble?
I think we will end up being around the bubble. Automatic losses @ TT and OSU. Then lose to ISU. Muster a win againstTCUBaylor. Lose first game in conf tourney.

How anyone can expect this team to win outside of Bramlage is beyond me.

Hey man, oscar has won more games in his first two years than any coach in k-state history. he can lose every ncaa tournament game from now til the end of time and he'll still have won more games in his first two years than any other coach in k-state history. so just stfu already.

Can you imagine shockernet if we beat them?
Hey guys, I was just wondering if we lose all of our remaining games if we would still make the Big Dance. Because I'm pretty sure we're not going to win another game. Thanks.
At this point I think it's more likely the Cats fall to a 10 than rise to a 7. ISU at home would be a significant win though.

Ya, that was some bullshit for OSU as a 5 to have to play Oregon in San Jose, almost as bad as UNLV having to play 12 seeded Cal there.At this point I think it's more likely the Cats fall to a 10 than rise to a 7. ISU at home would be a significant win though.
I think we are gonna have to get 3 more wins to get off of the 8/9 game. That could be going 3-1 to end the season or 2-2 and win a Big12 tourney game (very likely the 4 vs 5 game in the B12). Like always it will depend on what those teams that are barely ahead of us do the rest of the year too.
I had Memphis as my weakest 7 seed. They have a good 20-6(10-4) record but only 4 of those wins are vs top 150. Lunardi had SMU as a 7 while I have them as a 9. Their non con SOS being 294 is horribly bad. And the American conference has good teams in the top half and terrible teams in the bottom half (thus the 8th rated conf overall). So the conf sched for SMU helps them some but their overall SOS is still 165(rpi 45)
** Last year Oregon went 26-8 but non con SOS was 253 and their overall SOS was only 125, RPI 46. They got a 12 seedWould only take an 8/9 seed if we play WSU in the 2nd round.

are we winning at OSU our not, you're confusing medo we get in at 8-10? i don't think so
11-7 HERE WE COME.

Yeah, if we lose our last 3, we'd still probably get in, but not a lock.

I will try saying this again. We are not close to the bubble. Wont be if we don't win another game.I know, bud. I've been following too. We're in. Playing for seeding now.
Tenn and Mizzou were both 7-7 in the bad SEC and had 1 top 50 win each.
Providence and St Johns each have 10 losses, are 8-7 in the Big East and each has 1 top 50 win
Lunardi had all 4 in before tonight. I would have probably had 3 of those 4 in as of this morning.... and the 3-4 teams barely not making it have just as bad a resume as these 4 teams.
The last 4-6 teams in the NCAA right now are weak. Most, if not all, would not be in the dance most years
Mizzou will be on the outside looking in after tonight. They're down 18 against UGA right now.
LOL like Mizzou even cares about bball anymore.

Judging by tigerboard right now, this is not the case.

Lunardi has K-State potentially matching up with Wichita State in the 2nd round of the Midwest region. I would be TSC'ing so hard for K-State if that game were to actually happen. Not even the most butthurt of the butthurt 'tater squad could keep me from TSC'ing my ass off for that one.

Cats got some work to do to get out of the 8/9 seed matchup come March. That work could start down at Tech. FWIW, I have Ku as a 2, Isu as a 4, OU and Texas as 6 seeds right now. Baylor at 6-8 probably barely in right now.

i'm glad we're in and am not going to complain about our seed, pod, or draw. suck it losers.
It will be interesting to see how such a young team handles the tourney. We might have some deer in the headlight type of performances from a few of them.
True. That could be a very defining moment for our "most underrated freshman in the nation" Winning a few would be such a good boost for their confidence IMO

Lunardi does this sometimes. Don't sweat it. We could beat Isu and he could have us up to a 7 seed.
If we win on Saturday that is exactly where we will be.... a 7 seed
*Memphis lost to a team whose rpi was higher than 150
*I thought Iowa was weak 6 or solid 7 seed coming into tonight. They are 8-7 after their loss tonight. They have 2 easy home games and at Sparty left. The home wins wont do much since the opponents suck.
Both of those things were good news for us.

I've heard the talking point several times over the past week that the committee will overlook Oklahoma St's losses while Marcus Smart was suspended. I have also heard a few times in the past several weeks that the committee will definitely consider our loss to Northern Colorado. Why?? Gipson was hurt when we played them. No one ever brings that up. Why does OSU get a pass and we don't? Is it because Smart is a much bigger part of their overall team? Or, is it because Northern Colorado is just such a bad loss that not having Gipson available to play should matter?

It's because Marcus Smart is a national player of the year award watch listee. They want him there for ratings. Tourney is money time for the NCAA. Gotta maximize rev.

If I knew that would happen I would root against us tomorrow so hard.
The way I'm seeing it is 5 wins (making us Big 12 tourney champs) gets us a 4 seed, 4 wins and runner up gets us a 5 seed, 3 wins and only 1 loss gets us the 6, 2 wins gets us a 7, 1 win gets us an 8 or 9 and, no wins gets us a 10 or 11.

Lunardi the same just swapping 8-9 with Pitt
the majority of the talking heads want to throw out charlotte and northern colorado so i hope that happens, i have us as a 8 with a win tonight and saturday giving us a 6. the funny thing is we will have a great chance against another top 25 rpi win next week and there are not too many teams that can boast 7 wins against the top 25 in a season historically
stats come from twitter fwiw
im obviously no bracketologist _fence but i would think our road woes against even/sub par teams would be more of a talking point than losing two early season games with two major (i know jevon blah blah) contributors out. I was listening to fox sports radio this weekend during the VCU game and they were gushing GW and that was early in the year as well. I mean kstate is always a wild card in these things because people forget about us but that early season losses/wins against the zags and GW should balance each other out. they will look at who we have beat since december and we will get a pretty damn good seed.the majority of the talking heads want to throw out charlotte and northern colorado so i hope that happens, i have us as a 8 with a win tonight and saturday giving us a 6. the funny thing is we will have a great chance against another top 25 rpi win next week and there are not too many teams that can boast 7 wins against the top 25 in a season historically

I've come to the conclusion that there is only so much you can throw out. Most rational people can clearly see we are a better team than the one that lost to those teams. In that way those games can be overlooked.
However they still effect our ratings to an extent and we still have 9 losses. We aren't looked at as a 20-7 team as if those games didn't happen. And when comparing teams that comes into play. Throw in our poor road record and our high number of quality wins (which is really good) unfortunately carries less weight than it should.
At the end of the day those two losses will cost us at least one seed line and maybe two, even if everyone wants to say they are thrown out.
I think it's a combination of them and the road problems. Having success away from home would have erased those early loss concerns imo. If we pull out those 2 W's @Texas and @Baylor I think we're talking about the 4/5 line right now.

You have your wish. As a general rule, the committee has said "missing players" is taken into consideration for losses not wins. This was brought up recently when Oregon beat UCLA who was missing two starters due to suspension. Oregon gets full credit for the win, UCLA will have the missing players taken into consideration for seeding.
The committee focuses on the team you have available to play in the tourney, and how that roster performed. That's why losses when not at full strength get treated differently, because that's not the team you're fielding currently. It's why losing a player before the tourney hurts seeding, because the team that built the resume isn't the same one playing in the tourney.
In general I believe that the bracketologists are not very good at their jobs. Their brackets will change a lot in the next two weeks. In the last couple of days you will see Lunardi's bracket magically change as he starts getting insider info from friends inside the committee.
To do a valid bracket prediction you have to set up projections for every team in the bracket.
With three straight losses, Kansas State could be sitting on a 11 or 12 seed.
With 5 straight wins, Kansas State could be sitting on a 4 Seed maybe even a 3.
I am of the opinion we will go 2-2 and be a 6 seed. Our RPI should look good as we should get another top 50 RPI win and I don't think we will have another opportunity at a bad loss.
One thing that would really help us is to look good tonight on Big Monday. This will be a highly watched game by the committee as it is the only thing on and both teams have weird resumes.
OSU without Smart for three games (losses)
KSU road vs. home record.
The fix is in FSD.

I guess I forgot that some people think 'reconcile' is a brainy word. Also forgot that FSD thinks anyone should GAF about what does or does not 'reconcile' with him. Look up games played and wins against RPI top 25, top 50, top 100, etc. The answers you seek are contained therein.
I'm still trying to reconcile the following 2 queries:
1.) When was the last time you got your ass kissed?
2.) When was the last time you got your dick sucked?
I suspect the answers to these questions are the same as above - rarely, if ever.

With Cuse loss tonight. I think KU/Wisc are the best 2 candidates to be the 1 seed Cuse just gave up. Some peeps also like Duke... but here is why I would say no right now=
KU = 7 losses, 12 wins vs top 50, RPI 3, SOS 1
Wis= 5 losses, 8 wins vs top 50, RPI 5, SOS 2
Duke=6 losses, 5 wins vs top 50, RPI 8, SOS 9

So Iowa State has 1 more conference road win than us and is being projected as a 3 seed. Is there that big of a difference between 2-7 and 3-6?

I think you guys are greatly missing the Northern Colorado and Charlotte losses. Whether Gip played or not a top 6 seed should beat both of those teams by 20. Stop even comparing our record to KU's. They have no bad losses, we have 2 glaring, gross losses.I think you're too fixated on those early season losses and all your hate for all things named oscar.
Someone speak slowly and explain exactly why a 10 seed is functionally worse than an 8/9. It seems to be better in nearly every way.

I think Palm is basically saying we are a lock too, but he under values our good wins because they are all at home.
People putting us at a 10 is not unusual though, but most have us as 8 or 9.of the peeps who updated the brackets, we have a handful of them who had us at 6/7 seed and about the same who had us as a 10/11. People just need to quit worrying about what Palm thinks. If ok st losses in Ames, their road record in conf will be 2-7 just like us. He had baylor as a 9 too. They went 1-7 vs ku/isu/OU/UT ...the 4 highest rated teams. We went 4-4.
http://www.bracketmatrix.com
We won't know until the brackets are released, but I doubt there will be a significant difference between 7, 8, or 9s. Of course, there might also not be much difference between a 1 or 2. Depends on who we get. So whatever, let's just get the highest seed we can get.
It doesn't matter because we aren't beating any of the 1 or 2 seeds. Good grief.It still beats the crap out of winning the NIT! :peek: :emawkid:

You do realize we aren't going to play the 1 seed at home and that we absolutely suck away form Bramlage, right?
But can your numbers say anything about the size of a team's heart? Like, inches or centimeters?
Last year it seemed like the media was using "the motion offense is so difficult to prepare for" narrative very often with oscar's team. I don't think I've heard it yet this year. I'm hoping this statement actually comes into fruition this year. Especially if we do get past the 8/9 and the 1 seed has a day to prepare.

The SOS are all jacked on that. Espn has some flaws in the system for whatever reason. I look on there a lot and they now have the road/neutral records screwed up if you click on an individual team. They have every team as playing 0 neutral games. For us they have us 3-8 on road and 0-0 in neutral. It wasn't that way all year..... but like I said ESPN has some flaws in their system from time to time
We could land 7 in the dance and see all 7 in the Sw16 depending on the brackets. K-State could very well be a top 10 team. All Big 12 final four? Possibly. I like our chances against anyone on a neutral floor from a different conference.
Something that may be getting overlooked is that the Big 12 top to bottom is clearly the strongest conference this year.

Also, didn't the NCAA change their rules a couple of about how early conference opponents could meet? Can't they meet in the 2nd round now? Would be interesting to see how that plays out if OSU, Baylor, and K-State all end up on the 8/9 line and KU gets a 1.
I know there's not a difference between an 8 and a 9 seed, but it's just the logic of those two being higher seeds that I don't get.Palm is not good at his job. I will continue to say this. Its not just this year. He has been inaccurate for several years. He only gets mentioned nationally because he is CBS main bracket guy

Duke is going to win the whole thing and I'm going to party rock like crazy when they do.
I think almost everyone realizes that we are in the 8 vs 9 seed game right now. I may put my breakdowns of the teams a bit later on.
I would have these 8 teams as 8/9 seeds right now --- Baylor, Oregon, GWash, KState as 8 seeds. Gonzaga Iowa OK St and Ariz St as 9 seeds
10 seeds -- Stanford Colorado Nebraska SMU.
IF we can beat Iowa St, I think there is a good chance we are wearing the home grey jerseys 1st game NCAA. Have to win that one before anything better than a 8 seed can be talked about

The CBS bracket is probably dead on, because they are going to pop their heads into the committee room and be like "Ummmm yeah, we need you guys to put Wichita State and Kansas in the same bracket, because no one outside of Kansas will watch if those two make it to the Final Four, mmmmmkaaayyy bye!"

Some team will have to go out west and be the 2 seed with 1 seed Ariz. None of the possible 2 seeds are on the west half of the US, so the weakest 2 is likely the one that gets shipped out there. They could send KU out west as the 2, but I think a better shot it is someone else
Thought they did pods and region didn't matter for the Ro64 and Ro32?
Is KU completely ruled out from getting the last 1 seed? Especially if they beat OSU, ISU/K-State & OU/Texas to win the Big 12 tournament?

Conference tourneys are basically meaningless unless you beat someone WAY better than you, or lose to someone way worse than you. So, KU is going to have to hope and pray that the other 1 seed candidates lose to some shitty team in their first game.

KU is a 2, there isn't anything they can do about it. They're closer to a 3 than a 1. There are too many teams that are fighting for that fourth 1 seed and you really can't expect all of them to lose to teams like Maryland, Clemson, Minnesota, Indiana, and Seton Hall. The committee won't punish a team, for losing in the conference tournament semis and they shouldn't.

The committee won't punish a team, for losing in the conference tournament semis and they shouldn't.
And, it may actually matter what the committee thinks about Joel's status. Bill had better be telling anyone who will listen that Joel will be back.
St. Louis doesn't need K-State.Ok. Who's saying that?

5 - KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
Plenty of teams in college basketball soar at home but then crash on the road. There's perhaps no better example than Kansas State, which is "Popeye-just-ate-his-spinach" powerful in Bramlage Coliseum (named "The Octagon of Doom") but "Superman-in-the-presence-of-Kryptonite" impotent in Big 12 road games.
Kansas State is somewhere in the vicinity of a 9 seed (give or take a seed line) at the moment. The Wildcats are safely in the field, and what's more is that a lot of critics (this one included; one must admit when one is wrong in this business...) were skeptical of this team's ability to get to the NCAA tournament, given oscar Weber's tenure at Illinois, in which he inherited really good players, won at a high level, and then couldn't sustain that level of success with his own recruiting classes. On Dec. 20, Kansas State was an NIT team, but Weber -- to his great credit -- developed a team that was strong enough to beat almost all of the Big 12's best competitors at home. That was more than enough to get the Cats into the field.
Now, Kansas State arrives at the Big 12 Tournament. These aren't home games, true enough, but they're not pure road games, either. Plenty of KSU fans will be on hand for this event, and with the Wildcats landing in Kansas's half of the bracket, there's a great chance to reach the final, given the health problems plaguing KU big man Joel Embiid. If Kansas State can get hot on a neutral court and win the Big 12 Tournament, it could rise to a 6 seed. At the very least, the team could get out of the 8-9 game and land at a 7, thereby avoiding a No. 1 seed in the round of 32. That's definitely something to play for.

Sorry Breads. I think it takes more than just beat Michigan. ILL went only 7-11. You have 4 top 50 wins but only Mich St win is a win over a good seeded team (Iowa gonna be a 9, Neb a 10/11 IMO and Minn is out as of now). Big 10 is solid conf and ILL played tough conf sched, but your non con SOS is 182 and only top 100 win in non con is Mizzou

New Palm bracket: http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketball/bracketology
Would take all the way to an E8 matchup with Duke, because the Shocks want no part of Baylor in the second round. WSU has not seen a team with the size and athleticism of the Bears.
Also, look at the KSU v. Wisconsin second round matchup. The Cats just can't avoid the Badgers.
I would totally fly to milwaukee. Flights are dirt cheap there.

Why is Louisville being seeded as a 3 in every mock bracket I've seen? Only 5 losses, all to ranked teams if I remember correctly, and they just won the American League tournament with ease.

K-State is somewhat likely to matchup with WSU in the second round.
Why?
Wichita is 90% going to St. Louis as the one there to keep them as close to home as possible. KSU is a potential 8/9 seed. With St Louis holding an 8/9 game because Wichita is playing there, KSU would be a decent fit to be close to home. Memphis playing us there in the first round would keep them fairly close as well. NCAA sells out of tix quickly

Michigan went 17-4 in all its game in the Big 10 (counting tourney). Virginia went 19-2 in all games vs ACC.

Mich had 7 wins over Big 10 teams in top 50 who are in tourney. Beat rpi 54 iowa who is in tourney. Beat rpi 50 Minn twice (I think Minn is out)

i've never been this excited for a first round gamethis. I really didn't care until hearing it was Kentucky
Can someone explain to me how Kentucky is an 8 seed? WtfDo you think it's too high?
We have a 0% chance of beating Kentucky.

They played like crap down the stretch. Nice tourney run. Their wins were weak in conference.Can someone explain to me how Kentucky is an 8 seed? WtfDo you think it's too high?
No, too low. I thought they'd be a 6 or 7.
no way a seed was higher than you thought it would be? Crazy stuff and you heard it here first folksCan someone explain to me how Kentucky is an 8 seed? WtfDo you think it's too high?

Seven is a documented dumbass, the WSU game will be at 6 and our game will be at 8:30
Our inside game is going to get raped on Friday.This. Wife and I were talking match ups. Purple Cats are dwarfed by the blue cats.

Julius Randle, Dakorey Johnson, Cauley-Stein............. :runaway:
They like to stand around and look at each other. Just like our boys do during their scoreless skids. The interior match up is still a nightmare for KState.Julius Randle, Dakorey Johnson, Cauley-Stein............. :runaway:
They lost @ South Carolina. Was Kentucky bluebloods at full strength ??
You think Frank will send oscar game tape?
I've got 5 extra tickets in 107 BB for session 1 which I assume we will be scheduled in. As much as I would love to make a killing by selling to a KState or UK fan, I would rather sit by WSU fans. PM me if you're interested. 100 each which is cheaper than you will find anywhere else.
Thx mir
smu got jobbed
I'm trying to get Emawblast to come w/ me. I need a partner in crime for this trip. Cancel out flight fare and this is a cheap trip.Thx mir
I just realized, there is no way that we will play in session 1, so don't buy those tickets unless you want to sell them to a squawk, in that case, buy them
Doug made it right :D

Missed it, what'd he say?
Trim did the opposite of nailing it.

On paper, we shouldn't have a lot of problems, but if it was played on paper, it would have to be a really big piece of paper.:lol:
You thought your alum was unworthy of top matchups :lol:Trim did the opposite of nailing it.
I'm sure I'll regret engaging you, but how so?

the transportation is pretty good so don't worry too much about hotel location as long as it is close to the train lines.
Guys, I am going to go out on a limb and say KState is the last 8 seed (#32 on the overall ranking). I could see us being anywhere from 32 to 36....but will be very surprised if we are a 10 seed.
If we get that 8, I think we will likely play a Pac 10 team. If we get a 9 seed then I would guess we get Memphis or UMass. I think our chances of being in St Louis are pretty good. Anyway.... here is what I got
1 seeds = 1. Florida 2. Arizona 3. Wich St 4. Michigan
2 seeds = 5. Nova 6. Wisconsin 7. Virginia 8. KU
3 seeds = 9. Iowa St 10. Duke 11. Lville 12. Syracuse
4 seeds = 13. Crieghton 14. Mich St 15. Cincy 16. SD St
5 seeds = 17. Ucla 18. N Carolina 19. UConn 20. OU
6 seeds = 21. VCU 22. N Mexico 23. Ohio St 24. SLU
7 seeds = 25. Kentucky 26. Baylor 27. Texas 28. Oregon
8 seeds = 29. UMass 30. G Wash 31. Memphis 32. KState
9 seeds = 33. Gonz 34. Ok St 35. Stanford 36. Colorado
10 seeds = 37. Iowa 38. St Joe 39. Pitt 40. Ariz St
11 seeds = 41. Nebraska 42. Tenn 43 Prov
Last 4 teams in = SMU, Xavier, Dayton, BYU
I've enjoyed you and _FAN's bracket posts these past few weeks, PP.
PowercatPosse, good job on your efforts. I enjoyed them a lot.

After the protected 1-4 seeds, the committee moves teams around because of several factors (avoiding conference matchups, avoiding 2nd round rematches, keeping teams close to home, etc.)
Am I the only one that thinks it is odd to have three play in games for the same region? Or have I just never noticed this before.
Obviously WSU got a very tough region and draw, but the committee did not have some conspiracy to knock them out of the tournament.
There is always a top seed every year who has a ridiculous draw, there is a reason every year people try to find the "region of death". WSU wanted to be treated like a top dog, well welcome to the party Shocks.

yup, welcome to the party shocks just leave your keys with the DD and grab yourself a red solo cup b/c it's time to play some beer pong right now and then prob do some crazy crap like jump off the roof into the pool. b/c that is where you're at now shocks, it's time to play the big boy game and none of this school yard crap. come bring your a game shocks. of course you are now scared and walking away shocks b/c you don't have big boy stones gmafb shocks, get out of here with your weak crap.
shocks = ketchup
k-state = shrimp cocktail sauce with tons of horseradish
BRING IT.
Kentucky was 29th overall seed. N Mexico was 28th. Had those 2 been switched. We could have been playing N Mexico. And UK could have been a 7 seed with 2 seed KU
KState was the 33rd overall seed. Colorado was 32. So we could have been the 8 seed playing Pitt with 1 seed FLA lurking, and CU could have been playing UK in the 8 vs 9 game in St Louis
Pitt definitely easier game than UK, but I am glad we are not in Fla bracket

I can see why people care what Joey Brackets thinks about in Feb and March. No clue why anyone gives a crap what he thinks about 2nd week in April.
