Can you imagine if KU played a Bof7 series against any other team in the country rather than a one-and-done crapshoot to end this season? They'd wipe the floor with all of them. [Reply]

Or how about a 7-game series in 2010?
That UK-KU final would’ve been awesome. KU takes it though. [Reply]

Or was able to play NCAA Tournament games at Allen Fieldhouse.
I think playing neutral site games is ridiculous, at least until the Final Four. [Reply]

What would that change? Golden State > Toronto but playing a 7 game didn’t change the outcome, still an upset [Reply]
Don't the women play a couple of rounds at home? And for that matter, they have quarters while the men's game is still in halves. Why is it different? [Reply]

Toronto was better than Golden State (without Durant). Fortunately they had a chance to prove it over a seven game home-and-home series rather than how the NCAA decides their champion. [Reply]

Yes the NCAA has decided to stick with a system that badly hinders the best teams and renders the entire 30+ game regular season all but meaningless.
KU is going to be favoured to win the tournament this season but the odds are it happening are still going to be not much more than 15-20% at most. [Reply]
I think the 1 seeds should be able to play at home the first two weekends.
Alternatively, the NCAA should schedule sites in advance and the 1 seeds should always get the closest location. Which would mean the Jayhawks playing in KC any year they were a 1 seed.
I also think the 1 seeds should be able to pick their opponent from any team in their region.

Thats about the best odds to win the Super Bowl the Chiefs will have every year, even with Mahomes. You have to catch a few breaks, get some luck or a ball bounce your way, a call go your way at some point towards a championship. Fitzmagic, Ravens losing for example [Reply]
