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

Yes, WSU is likely to be a 1-seed that will start in St. Louis.  How does that relate to K-State being an 8/9 seed there lined up to play them?

I could've picked any number of posts to point out the myopia that goes on when we who are highly invested in K-State think that anyone else gives a eff about us or any other team in our range.

KU and WSU will start in St. Louis.  That's good enough geography-wise.  The filler teams that will also play in St. Louis may be close or may not but it won't really matter.

And I don't think they GAF about a WSU-KSU 2nd round matchup.  That has appeal to Kansans, and especially us for lol-bbs purposes.  It has no appeal to non-Kansans.  Kansans will likely watch either team regardless of opponent, so it'd actually be better to separate them and have more markets be interested in more games.

I hope we play Thursday night causing me to not even take a chance on playing in my own pickup game before my thumb's fully healed.  Someone let the committee know.

We did it boys. Played our way off the 8/9 line! :emawkid:
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

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.

I guess this question is directed at Powercat Posse.

Louisville's overall SOS is 97, which is high.... and their only non con win in top 50 is So Miss ( a team who may not even make tourney). 2nd best non con win is Missouri St, 84 on rpi.     

The bottom half of American Conf is extremely weak.  So 12 of Lville's 18 league wins are vs teams 143 or higher in the rpi

Could also sub ISU in for KU or WSU and be more than fine with geography and tickets.  It's an arch, ISU, not an ark.  Calm down.

His new bracket has us a 10 seed and OU as a 6 seed in the bottom half of the Midwest region. (He also has Texas as 8 in top half of MW bracket).       Committee almost always avoids having 2 teams from same conference  in the same (top or bottom) of a region.   Big East had more than 8 teams in years past and they had no choice then.... but with the Big 12 getting 7 teams,   expect only 1 Big 12 team in a bottom/top of a region

I know carnes is trolling, but Florida is stacked w/ seniors and depth. We'd get skull mumped.

cbssports.com does one - or are you looking for a k-state team one?
