Who Has Time To Work - NCAA Tournament Talk

[SubGod22]

I don't know. KU won a natty in 88 and then we experienced the Decade of Darkness

[WuShockFan]

I've always thought that when one of the D1 programs in the state does well, the other ones benefit. It raises the profile of basketball in the state. If KU wins a national championship, people from outside the state notice that there's good basketball in Kansas. Maybe kids who can't get in to KU start looking at WSU and K-State because they see that the state of Kansas has good basketball. KU wins a natty in 2008, then two years later K-State is in the Elite Eight, then three years later WSU is in the Final Four. KU wins another national championship, then the next year K-State is in an Elite Eight or Final Four if they win tomorrow. Now WSU has to make another tournament run in the next few years, which it seems like we now have the coach to do it.

Crazy that either K-State or FAU will be in the final four. Sucks though…that means we’re clearly the 3rd place D1 basketball school in the state.

But won't it be great in a couple years that KU will take that seat?

[ShockerDropOut]

That was an awesome game to watch. Good for the Kittens. Bonus points for making Izzo whine like a little baby. My God.

Izzo is an a**hat. Glad he is going home. He deserves it.

K St closed at 1.5 and were dogs the entire day....

Well, I saw some guys bet at -3.5. I didnt bet it personally.

That ally-oop with about a minute left in the KSU game was insane.

(Start it at 10:21 if it does not pull up.)

The fake argument with Tang, the no-look pass, the reverse dunk. Unreal.

After that game, I would have been happy. But then, in the Gonzaga v. UCLA game, the go-head 3 with only a few seconds left.

Two all-time games on the same night.

KU fans might lose their **** if KState wins it all

That would be fitting. They’ve already lost their minds.

Would love to agree with you there but IMHO the name brand cache built over the decades is obviously a hard loss for the conference as a whole. As long as Memphis remains in the AAC we should be okay. Otherwise...we be "scratching" every year for bids. Go SHOCKS!!!!!

Might lose some luster in terms of TV ratings....etc. But success on the court shouldn't get hurt too bad.

Hopefully FAU can hold onto May, UAB can hold onto Kennedy

And hopefully UNT can continue success without McCasland.

Houston will hurt but trading Cincy and UCF for FAU, North Texas, and UAB seems like a pretty alright deal, all things considered.

I kinda feel like it might...might just be K-State's year to win it all. Also....as neat as it is to see next year's foe FAU in the Elite-8 I'm not too worried as there's no way their coach will be there next year when they join the AAC.

[Stickboy46]

The possibility of a final four without any P5 or Big East teams is still alive

Mic is a helluva coach.

Cinci hasn’t been the same since he left.

And those dumbasses were happy when he was gone. And now they're gonna get bent over in the Big 12. Have fun, Bearkitties.
