Regardless of what seed line U.K. or Duke end up on we will be in Kansas’s bracket and Duke will be in SDS’s bracket. As Cawood would say...write it down.
Two things for certain come Selection Sunday.
- Thread starter rockout1
- Start date
I'd be shocked if this wasn't spot on.
Don’t forget MSU and UL in our bracket...
Make no mistake...the last 2 yrs we had fairly decent brackets. This yr has been such a shitty product across the board, they're gonna get the bang for their buck n the tourney...
The last seven tournaments, 4 times they have been put in the bracket with #1 overall seed, or were a 1 seed with top rated #2 seed.

You mean injury riddled, limping into the tournament Michigan St? duke was placed there with purpose, just like always....
Not really. The brackets opened up for us because of upsets, but they weren’t easy draws.
True but they weren't god awful brackets like we have had since Cal has been here either. They were manageable compared to sum.
Weren’t we in the same region as overall # 1 Virginia and a very good Arizona (3 or 4 seed) just two years ago. Both lost but it was a brutal draw.
Maybe so. I don't remember each draw, but I remember that those brackets opened up for us sum which is maybe y I remember them as easier draws. Lord knows we fought WW3 to get #8....they aren't EVER gonna make it easy for us, and that's a fact.
I just checked and we were. We were a 5 seed and Arizona was a 4. They were a terrible matchup for us. Tenn was the 3 and Cincy the 2. Virginia was the overall # 1. That was a brutal draw.
The theory that there are easy brackets are bs. I can’t believe the crying U.K. fans do over this crap.
Come tourney time, yes ur right, matchups get hard. But if u really don't think UK hasn't drawn ridiculous paths to the trophy, then nothing I say will change ur mind.
Yes but this was not the predicted or desired result, though it made my day...how about you?
lets dont forget, Kansas would hate to be in our bracket
Loved it. Made our loss sting less. Loved see Zion pack his bags. The thought of him in a final four made me ill.
True enuff. But if u don’t think the committee sets up “matches” to their advantage for a storyline to gain viewers, whether it coincides with the numbers or not, then u just aren’t paying attention.
Someone mark this post.
Don’t u have any KU friends to play with? Go and be amongst ur own....
They’re all n bed cuz they live n freakin Kansas....wtf is there to do n Kansas? Watch the corn grow?
Our fans - “Self is crap, he chokes in the tourney every year.”
Also our fans -“The NCAA is going to screw UK by putting us in Self’s bracket.”

Look, it doesn’t happen every year, but there’s zero doubt that Duke often gets favorable draws. It’s happened far too many times for you not to see it. It’s not just UK fans. Fans of all other teams and even some media types (not ESPN) talk about it.
You can say it, but you know it isn’t true. You do NOT want us in your region and you know it. We match up with you very well.

100% Guarantee it will be 4 out of the last 8 after Selection Sunday. They will not be a 1 seed and they won’t be in the KU bracket.
Dayton, Michigan St, Ohio St, Louisville, KY, Cincinnati, Illinois amongst other Big Ten teams would get the benefit of playing in the Midwest in Indianapolis which would give them a home court advantage. In Houston, we'd likely get a team like Auburn or LSU who we'd trounce and fans don't travel.
I don't disagree that Kentucky would match up well against Kansas. But outside of Quickley and an occasional hot hand in Maxey, Kentucky struggles to score. Richards is a definite post defender, but on offense he shuffles his feet before making an offensive move and in the tournament he'll get called for traveling whereas in the SEC, he gets the benefit of having the referees giving Kentucky a favorable whistle.
