Jesus, these KU idiots make Illinois State fans look like Ivy League scholars.

[ShockerPrez]

I think our belt will get notched with a different powerhouse this year.

But KU would be fine.

I would personally like to be in that 6 or 11 slot and go against the 3 seeds.

I'll take the 6, since that would mean we win out!

[AZ Shocker]

What seed would we need to play out west?

[pie n eye]

Not to mention Embiid "graduated" the year before we played them in the NCAA tourney.

[Jamar Howard 4 President]

What seed would we need to play out west?

You mean Spokane/Denver? WSU could end up at either regardless of their seed.

[AZ Shocker]

Just curious cuz the bubbles seem to think we will end up in their bracket again. Id rather get a chance to knock off somebody else this year. Like AZ

Yes, this is hilarious. I mean, UK would have definitely went 40-0 if Randall and company had returned.

[ShockingButTrue]

KU fans see "2014 WSU vs Kentucky" possibly coming their way. This board was livid about that game, and KU fans deserve credit for seeing it for what it is and praying like crazy it doesn't come to fruition for them this year.

I know many don't want to admit it, but it is a sign of respect.

I'm not intending to generalize here, but you know "ku fans" who deserve credit for giving respect? I must be dealing with an alternate reality when it comes to those ku fans, becase I'm not hearing that.

[ShockCrazy]

Yes, this is hilarious. I mean, UK would have definitely went 40-0 if Randall and company had returned.

And we would have won a National Title if Stutz could have afforded to red shirt his freshman year.

Whoever draws WSU as a 9 or 10 seed is going to be livid, not just KU

We are discussing the KU fans that have posted comments about how it would be unfair to get a team like WSU in the 2nd round because WSU is tougher than your average 8/9 seed. You don't consider that a sign of respect?

[Ricardo del Rio]

I hope we win game one by at least one point.

I hope we get to play game two.

[Kel Varnsen]

Funny, because their team isn't drastically different from where they are now. Bragg and Diallo don't play much, and they're really the only new additions that play.

I would love a matchup with KU. And, as some here have pointed out, the argument that it would have been different had Embiid (who went pro after 2014) and Alexander (who was ineligible) been playing is comical. And we are better than last year, according to KenPom. Higher Rank and Pyth, and we were only #15 heading into the tourney in 2015.

Also, in today's episode of "What the hell did he say?":

I understand that WSU is much better than an 8/9 seed, but I'd take them over any 8/9 because we will beat them, and in the tourney, it's all about winning and advancing.

To paraphrase, they will beat us because they will play us. Good logic.

[KC Shox]

WSU and KU won't have the possibility of getting paired up so early in the tournament. The committee won't let that happen, as far as their concerned, the novelty has worn off.

I'm actually fine with that. If WSU did face KU and got beat, I wouldn't be able to stomach the realization that FVV and RB ended their careers at the hands of those arrogant phucks up north.
