So Kansas getting blown out right now it's ok

[two3zone]

If Kansas gets blown out at Morgantown, which is well on the way to being the case, they absolutely DO NOT deserve a #1 seed. I think they flip flop with Nova after this loss. Remember, Nova beat Kansas earlier this year. Lead is now up to 22. I don't care if you're without Embiid. That's embarrassing. When we lost to BC and GT at least they were close losses.

A BC loss at home is comparable to a WV blowout without the probably #1 overall pick in the draft? I have to disagree.

No Embiid. I get it now.

well yah, today doesn't actually count for them

Oh gimme a break they are both embarrassing.

 

[pearl31]

And, see, Kansas doesn't actually have 8 losses - with their schedule it actually means they have only 2 losses.

 

[pearl31]

Texas Tech and WVU are their only real losses.

UK getting blown out at Florida too.. Who are they "without"..?

A Coach!

Hopefully Grant keeps dressing like Russell Westbrook so people can't help but notice him.

Westbrook? More like Steve Urkel, suspenders and all. "Did I do that?"

This would be their 8th loss. At some point this Kansas one seed talk will have to stop, regardless of their schedule.

You would think

KU mounting a comeback. Down 8 with 2:20 to go. If they make this miraculous comeback from 25 down without Embid - just give them the overall #1 seed!

Right now I have Florida, Arizona, Wichita St as the one seeds. Syracuse, Nova, Duke are fighting for that last spot.

You don't have Virginia in the mix? They haven't lost in two months.

I don't think there has ever been a one seed with more than 5 losses. I don't care how "good" your schedule is...if you have 8 losses you DO NOT deserve a one seed. Period. Well...maybe in the NIT.

Michigan State (2000 and 2012) and Illinois (2001) were one seeds with 7 losses. I agree with your second sentence.

It has happened 3 times. Mich St and Illinois are 2 of then. They each had 7 losses

Virginia will drop a game in Greensboro. Mark it down. They are a Sweet 16 team, but not a one seed. Their schedule was fluff compared to SU, Duke, UNC, KU, etc.

That is just wrong. If they gave a one seed to a 9-loss KU, I would be ballistic as an opposing coach with a top 5 team.

With a Duke loss tonight, the Jayhawks and Blue Devils will have locked up #1s.

 

[rrlbees]

Media spin. She wrote an article implying that KU could lose two more games and still have no problem getting a one seed, with 9 losses. :bang:

Did she really write that? I missed it. Damn, I have to get one of those writing gigs.

And a double bye in the NCAA tourney.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Kansas and syracuse play decent teams, which make them look bad at times. Florida, Wichita, zona play patty cake most of the year.

BC is decent?

 

[Knicks411]

BC is decent?

Yeah these arguments would look a lot better if we didn't lose to BC and Ga Tech at home. If we had won just one of those we'd probably be a 1 seed right now

UK lol garbage the whole year. Shouldn't have been in the top 25 this week and it isn't close. Yet, somehow, "mystique" will try to keep them in the top 25 yet again! Well, well it was a loss to Florida and such.
