If the Cats get a 7 seed, i dont like our chances at all at playing at Sprint. Even if Mizzou and Wsu finished as 8/9 seeds lets say.
They usually take care of 1 and 2 seeds very well....... so a) i think there are other pods that the #2 seeds would go to over KC and b) if a 2 seed did come to KC, they usually dont put the 2 seed at a disadvantage with the 7 seed playing so close to home
So by rooting against other teams that could be 5-6-7 seeds...... our chances increase of getting a 5/6 seed.
Ksu as 5/6 seedplaying in KC > Ksu as 7 seed playing in KC
