This game was only close because of fouls. Our defense was stellar just need to avoid the contact. Without the free throws we would have blown them out. Are we starting to click at the right time? [Reply]

Starting to look better as well showing signs of much improved team play, but the real competition is just now beginning! [Reply]
I don't know why this team is mock seeded so low. They have like 6 top 25 victories meanwhile a team like Iowa has zero (or will have zero on Monday when Wisconsin is no longer in Top 25).
Stop using predictive metrics to seed teams. [Reply]

It makes no sense if you’re actually looking at resumes, no. It’s hard to figure out why teams like WVU, Tech and Texas are seeded above KU in these mocks right now. [Reply]

Yeah KU completely dominated that game. Wouldn’t have been close if the team’s two best shooters could hit wide open threes. [Reply]

Withey became the best defensive big in the NCAA so McCormack is still always away from making that kind of game impact. Has turned himself into a productive offensive player though which this team badly needs. [Reply]

I’m not saying he’s having the impact Withey had, but his improvement is similar. McCormack looked like he wasn’t even a D1 player earlier, let alone a starter at Kansas. You could at least see flashes with Withey early. [Reply]

Yeah I mean I get Iowa is better. But this isnt gambling or picking who is likely to win the game. You should earn your seed and Iowa hasn't earned shit despite being #3 in Kempom. [Reply]

This year's Kansas team is the sort of team I hated to see Kansas have to play in the past tournaments.
They have the defense to keep the score low and they have enough three point shooters that could light it up combined with solid coaching and plenty of games against ranked teams.
So it wouldn't surprise me to see them make the elite eight or upset a better team and make the final four.
But this team is also inconsistent and if they are stinking it up from behind the arc they could easily go down the first weekend. [Reply]
