I'd kill to trade places with Illinois in that bracket.

Is there any possible way we could end up in Tulsa?

BITB talking point: MU and KSU have near identical resumes, why are they a lock and KSU is a bubble team?

I thought he was just BITB being BITB then I did a little research (and I'm not kidding when I say "a little"). Their best wins this year are Vanderbilt, ODU, and Illinois. Their best conf win is KSU, they only lost to CU once and also lost to OSU. They actually have a lower RPI and their SOS is way lower.

Not saying their resume isn't better, just not sure what makes it soooo much better. This Lunardi numbnuts has them as a "lock", and k-state two grades lower at "work left to do" skipping over the "should be in" category. They're a 6 we're a 9, so not so far off by seed, but I'd rather be "lock" or "should be in barring 3 game meltdown"

That would be tits. I think the only way that happens is by complete luck.

They put us in Omaha as a garbage seed

I want to be far far away from Wisconsin

Would love to trade places with Utah St. if we are talking 8 or 9 seed. Pitt is the weakest 1 seed fo sho. Also a big fan of drawing a Pac-10 school first round

kso_FAN · « **Reply #13 on:** February 25, 2011, 11:59:04 AM »

I hope we play our way out of the 8/9 line. We can be a 7 if we finish well.

The NCAA owes us for the instant classic we provided against Xavier in the Sweet 16 last year

Pitt might be a weak #1, but our bigs would foul out in the first half against that McGee

steve dave · « **Reply #16 on:** February 25, 2011, 12:01:33 PM »

Pitt's the strongest #1 imo. Duke is the weakest.

agreed, not sure what dumbass hicks think pitt is the weakest.

right now, imo, the strength of the #1's looks like this:

Pitt
Ohio State
Duke
Texas

Which was complete luck.

There are 8 1st/2nd round location, each with 8 teams. Those locations are dictated by the lower numbered seeds (or higher depending on your terminology). Basically, if we want Tulsa, we need the highest seed in our 1/16th part of the bracket to be close to Tulsa and not get bumped from the location from a seed higher than them.

It makes it more difficult when we know it can't be a Big XII team that gets us pulled into that location.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #20 on:** February 25, 2011, 12:15:02 PM »

I'm past "I just want to be in". I'm hoping to play up to at least a 7 now.

Doberman_CATS!!! · « **Reply #21 on:** February 25, 2011, 12:28:50 PM »

Pitt will be the first 1 seed out, watch effers

McGee is a Britney Griner look alike homo

If UT and ku end up 1 and 2 seeds then there is no way we can be in Tulsa b/c they both would most likely be there (see recent bracketology). If they both end up 1's or both end up 2's then it could end up like the Omaha seeding...

Ahhh. Talking about seeding again. Feels good.

Yes.

The way I look at it is this; MU is a 6 seed in most projections right now, we are a 6. If we beat them, that should bump us to at least a 7. UT loss won't be killer, win against ISU, then get another good win in KC. Heck, we could play up to a 6 seed. But lose tomorrow and all those thoughts are gone.
