Who is more pissed? Cal or Pitino

Adou Thiero is doubtful for their 1st round game. I would imagine Kansas wins that. I don't think Boogie Fland adds much, especially being out so long.

Kansas has been spiraling out of control for a long time, and they're probably ready for the season to be over.
 
Kansas could look at this as a fresh start or just be ready for the season to be over with. If they’re energized they could come out of that side of their bracket to the elite 8. As an Arkansas fan i wouldn’t like the odds of Cal out coaching Self or Pitino with similar talent.
 
Didn’t Ark beat KU in preseason? That being said I have no doubt Cal is ready for the season to end and get to the beach.
They did. Which makes this even more strange. Teams that played already shouldn’t be able to play against each other the first game but they skirted that due to it being an exhibition.

While it’ll be a game I definitely watch, could we have put one against UCLA or Utah St for instance? That game sucks
 
It’s funny to think that the three most historically decorated coaches still in the game are in the bottom half of the same bracket.
Yes, kind of crazy that those three have collectively accumulated 5 titles and 17 Final Fours.

Hopefully Pitino kills off that region and keeps Self and Calipari from escaping.

Exhibition games don't factor
 
Has to be cal, I think or thought self could atleast coach a little and we know how cal is lol. Plus, ku was preseason #1 but cal does have that “practice” victory over self this year right……😂.
 
Pitino can want that smoke all he wants. He better hope that Kansas beats Arkansas because for whatever reason, Calipari beats Pitino's ass. St. John's plays hard, Pitino is arguably the greatest coach of his generation and if not, he's in the top 3....but be careful what you wish for because teams from Big XII/SEC aren't going to be scared of physical play, nor are they going to be scared of a team who can miss shots for 7 mins.

Thought it was interesting the top Big East team's reward was the bracket with UF out West. I'd have thought they'd have sent them East to play in Providence and then Newark-but they have to make sure Duke wouldn't get a road crowd in NYC/NJ as their secondary "home".

A few years ago I bet most of you thought that you'd didn't expect to want Pitino to beat Cal in the round of 32 if they make it passed Self.
 
He’s gotta go thru Self first but Cal has owned Pitino lately so I’d be ticked for sure.
Cal owned Rick with those stacked Kentucky rosters! The team he has right now doesn’t equal those he was beating Rick with! I don’t think Cal will get past Kansas. Dickerson will feast on the Hogs bigs!
