Seriously though, "far lower chance" doesn't seem to make sense, considering 5 of the 8/9 seeds are within 10 spots of each other, especially considering where Xavier is ranked. I mean... at least Seton Hall is in the top 100 (as opposed to Penn... and they're a respectable top 30 or so) and they have a few top 25 wins (as opposed to 0 for Penn) and a handful of top 50 wins (as opposed to 0 for Penn) and didn't lose by 30 to Villanova (as opposed to Penn). The easier argument would simply be that Kansas is a weaker 1 than Virginia and Villanova, but everyone already knows that, so where's the drama... |

Seton Hall is the best 8 seed ever.

You didn't present any facts on Penn. We covered the spread. Anyone who listened to you would've lost their $.

Yikes, that line is so small that it's almost like Seton Hall is the favorite! I'm just gonna start worrying and keep it that way until it's all zeros on Saturday night.

Too late. I'm already anxiously refreshing kenpom and hoping something will change in this monster matchup. Looks like they're the best 8 seed in the history of the tournament at this point.

The reason the line was only 14.5 was because Vegas noticed that as well. |

It wasn't lots of facts, it was 'Penn is good at 3 point defense', completely ignoring everything else.... and KU hit their season average on 3s while attempting more than average. It wasn't even the closest 1/16 outcome for Kansas in recent memory. I hope Xavier loses... get it out of the way, so at least if Kansas ever loses to a 16, they won't be the first. |

He predicted it would be close. 16 points isn't close.
