I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.
KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.
One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future. [Reply]

I'd also like to play in OKC. I wonder if those two things are possible?
I think they're very possible. Win 2 of our last 3 games (KU @ Allen, assuming we don't get blown out), and I think we have a 2 seed locked up. And considering the top 2 seeds in each region get "protected," we'd likely be sent to OKC for the first 2 rounds.
Hell, we win all the rest of our games (@ Allen & win the Big 12 tourney) and we're probably talking about a 1 seed. I don't expect it, but I didn't expect to be talking about a 2 seed this late in the year, either.

I forgot about McGruder in my previous post, good catch.

We would have to jump Duke, and I just don't see Duke losing until the ACC tourney, if even then. Couple that with our Lawrence game....
For historical and bragging purposes, I would love a 1 seed. This year, though, tactically speaking, I would like to stay close to home(OKC) and the only way to do that is with the #2 seed. Also, if that is the case, and Duke/Purdue are the #1 seed in our bracket, I think we are the(my) favorite to win from our region. [Reply]
KU fans won't like this. Outside chance at 1 seed AND OKC in play now. Win in Lawrence then Mizzou beats KU brings it into play. Syracuse rolling brings them to 1, KU and UK to 2/3 going into tomorrow. [Reply]

I don't think it should change, honestly. Purdue should drop because they are not as good without their best player. They should also lose to Michigan State.
KU, UK, Syracuse, Duke, KState as I see it.
