Official Selection Show Thread

Bilas said "they got it right".

And Bilas works at a place that makes money off of ratings. The NCAA selects teams based off of ratings.

End of discussion.

Coach Calipari just now on ESPN Bracketology show: "Wichita State was a Final Four team last year."

And said UK beat us because they were playing "out of their minds"

Beat me to the second half of the quote.

@EnthusiAdams: This committee is the worst example of brand bias in the history of the tournament.

It is all about "slotting" match-ups for ratings and dollars. Everyone knows that...

Ventured over to phognet. A lot of fans are chomping at the bit to play WSU and say their team is gonna have a chip on their shoulders and Self will get his team up for this game.

Wait, what? I thought that was what WSU fans did with KU. Now KU fans are getting up for WSU? Funny stuff.

I predict the MVC will have more tourney wins with 2 teams than the Big XII with 7.

NMSU has quite a bit of size and could give KU problems. Their athleticism surprised me when they played us here in Wichita and they're playing a lot better now than they were at the start of the season. I expect KU to move on but that game won't be easy for them.

Shox have asked for the thunder. Now we got it.

Time to kick it up a notch!

Lots of demons in our bracket to slay!!

@mctait: Self on Wichita State: How in the world they're a 7 seed at 28-4 blows my mind. Thought both WSU & N. Iowa would be higher. #KUbball

If Self loses, he will 1-3 vs. the Valley as KU coach..

He's right on though. I bet he's having some 2010 flashbacks.

The big 12 will win three or four first round games. Maybe 2 after that.

@BruceHaertl: Not putting cart before the horse but I wonder what kind of scouting report Conner Frankamp could provide the shockers #intriguing
