538 has us 78% to win. So actually only a 2/10 chance of losing not 4/10 per KCConnect
In Sagarins "recent" ratings, last 10 games, KU is -9.5 fave. The gambling grid translates that to like a 93% chance of winning. |

So Wichita State lost today. It's a lot harder to play as the hunted, eh?

With all the Penn stuff, I was thinking..... with how crazy sports are, especially March Madness, it's almost more logical to think the first 16 seed victory will come out of no where, as opposed to kenpom-ing it to find the best 16 evar.
That said, I was hoping it was Xavier and had no idea it would be Virginia until halftime (and even then I only thought it might be an interesting 2nd half). At least it wasn't Kansas. |

The greatest #16 evarrrrr!!!!!
Actually, most of us reasonable people acknowledged that a #1 seed would lose their first game someday. But since we're playing the "told ya so" game, I'll remind you that I said that it wouldn't be KU this year. |

Right on. That’s always my biggest fear. I don’t want to watch the 30 for 30 in 5 years.
However I do think KU would have scored. UVA just couldn’t score and UMBC got hot so UVA was pressing and it compounded. I think KU could have scored on them and got out of it. It’s not like they Couldn’t miss. |
