Almost a guarantee for a #1 seed, if not the overall #1 seed.
Invite Snoop to the Final Four when we get there.
Dollar signs.
It's hard to see how they'd lose a #1 seed at this point. Tech loss on the road won't do it (and I'd honestly considering resting some of our main 3 for that one, but I know Self won't). Maybe if they lose that 1st round game in KC. [Reply]

KSU isn't winning their own first game unless the deep hate for KU drives them to it. Outside of the two KU games, they haven't giving any effort the entire season.
Also, if we're the #1 seed in the B12 tourney, we wouldn't have much of a chance to play them at all (1 plays 8/9). That won't be decided until after the Tech game, though. [Reply]

No I don’t. But I remember being a little nonchalant when his alma mater made that big push to steal him. I figured it would be good to have another school in the Big 12 be competitive every single year and KU would find another great coach.

Have you ever considered Mizzouche tried to ruin him, and not the other way around.
You can think about it any way you want to. The bottom line is that Self is a HOF coach who wins, and wins, and wins, and while coaching MU Snyder was objectively terrible overall.
I don't care what Snyder is doing now, because the success he is having has nothing to do with MU. I doubt there is a single MU fan alive, or dead, that would still choose Snyder over Self if they could go back in time and pick one of them as head coach.
When MU fans inevitably bring up football when discussing basketball, I love reminding them that between KU and MU, only one football program has ever won a BCS bowl game. Wait, did Auburn just score another rushing TD?

“The evidence however, based mainly on trial testimony, fails utterly to support a conclusion that Adidas or any Adidas employees acted as representatives of the University during the period in question. Individuals formally associated with Adidas acted in their own interests when they gave money to the family and guardians of student-athletes.
Stated otherwise, according to the enforcement staff, every corporate sponsor and most, if not all, individuals associated with the sponsor are boosters of every institution with which the sponsor does business," the statement said. "This theory, if adopted by the Panel, would have far reaching ramifications throughout the Membership given the universal use of corporate sponsorships throughout Division I athletics.”
I don't understand how NCAA, I don't know what to call it, "trials" work. Are THEY the ones who are deciding guilt or innocence and we just have to change their mind, or is there an independent arbitrator of some kind?
How in the hell can the NCAA be anything but biased toward their own opinion? [Reply]
