I don't think a #1 will ever lose to a #16 as long as they let in the small schools. |

The worst I've felt about a team going into the tourney was the 14-15 team (the Oubre one).
While I feel this current team has that floor, they have a much higher ceiling. They can run with anyone in the tourney, but they could potentially lose to anyone too. Hopefully we'll make it out of the first weekend. |

It's going to happen eventually. Not to specifically bring up the Missouri/Norfolk State game to a Missouri fan, but it's just the best illustration of my point. This Kansas team is significantly worse than that 2012 Missouri team and it is quite likely that this Kansas team will end up playing a team better than 2012 Norfolk State (#183 in KenPom that year). If a good #2 seed like Missouri can lose such a game (likely the biggest upset in NCAA history), a bad #1 seed certainly could too.

Who cares if we are a 1 or 2. Now if we don't end up in Wichita and the Midwest then we can bitch.

The committee should also not factor a loss of an injured player, or the addition of a prized player like in ND's situation. You EARN your seed. |

I'm pretty relaxed about the tournament this year.
Most years I would consider winning the Big 12 conference (and hopefully not having a home loss) as pretty good but still needing to make a FF to consider it a great year. This is down year, especially without Preston. This team winning the Big 12 outright, no shared title, was a great year. If they flame out of the tournament it won't bother me like years past. On the other hand, this is sort of team that KU has been upset by in the past. We can probably make it through the first weekend just by not having a bad game. And then this is totally the sort of team that could get really hot from the 3 and beat more talented teams to go deep in the tournament. |

You can play at home, or if your home arena is too small, you can play at the venue of your choice. "Home" games at Sprint would be fine. |

Actually, if it was up to me, I would let the top, #1 seed pick their opponent. I would do the same thing in the NBA and NFL.
