It gets no easier against Auburn or Clemson. Both are far better than Seton Hall and each boast their own major strengths that could end this team's season in its tracks. Auburn shoots a ton of threes and gets out on the fast break, which increases the variance of the result and makes them far harder for this team to guard. Clemson plays at a snail's pace and has an elite defence which could make it quite difficult to come from behind if KU has one of its notorious bad starts. Take your pick but either way this team is facing its toughest matchup yet in this onslaught of a tournament.

At this point, anybody is capable of beating anyone.(UMBC) So if we shoot the 3 well and play good defense, keep turnovers to a minimum, stay out of foul trouble, we have as good as chance as anybody to keep advancing. At this point, no sense in worrying, just enjoy the ride. IMO, this team has exceeded expectations!:-)

He was at his neices birthday party. They're two-week affairs in his family.

A two week celebration? Huh, kinda reminds me of the feeling in KC after the 2015 World Series.

I'd forgotten the totally legit reason for his absence, but appreciate you coming through.

You only celebrated for two weeks?

KCCCC's absence is rather peculiar? I wonder if he hasn't found a better fit for his efforts to "root" for:

It's been fun laughing at you, but this is just shit trolling now.

(okay, we'll still laugh at you :-) )

Using the extremely small sample size of a couple nights ago, no one should assume it'll be Auburn, but holy crap I hope we get a repeat of that team. Maybe they'll give me a reason to believe a 4 seed isn't horribly, horribly over-seeded.

He's going all Chicken Little on Auburn and Clemson ? Those teams have been leaking oil for a month now, with injuries. Auburn lost to a shit Bama team last week and barely escaped Charleston Friday. And they have Bruce Pearl. Good gracious

I like our chances against Clemson or Auburn more than I did vs Seton Hall. Those two teams are banged up and not especially playing well. We have the upper hand in coaching matchup as well

I looked up the archives and forgot his niece allowed him two breaks during the fortnight: after games 3 and 5. Can't recall the reasons why tho.

Oh don't worry, I fully intend to keep you all informed on the many dangers lurking in our bracket. With hope, we'll keep beating the odds.

Haven't steered anybody wrong yet. If you don't see the significant issues that KU faces with both Auburn and Clemson (undeniably better teams than who we have faced so far), I don't know what to tell you.

Good. And don't forget about the dangers outside of the bracket like being put on probation before, during, or after the next game. And all of the future vacated wins they're piling up now

When will KU haters learn that this isn't an effective taunt in the slightest? If you aren't "cheating" at the NCAA level, you aren't trying.
