    NCAA to Allow #1 Overall Seed to Pick Region and Site

    The Coach Cal writer is mistaken. You get to choose the location where you play in the first and second rounds, not the regional you play in. For example, if Kansas is the overall one then they can choose to play rounds 1 and 2 in Tulsa. They do not, however, get to choose to play in the Kansas...

    Kansas vs. TCU

    TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State are the only 4 Big XII schools not to make the Elite Eight since KU's conference championship streak started. And Iowa State and Oklahoma State have both made the Sweet 16 during this time. The Big XII hasn't performed as well in the tournament...

    Kansas counts games played in Kansas City as HOME games

    http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/ForSIDs/Policies.pdf Pages 12 and 13 show why the NCAA designates these games as home games for Kansas.

    ESPN SUCKS,Biased as can be

    You're not even the oddsmakers' favorites to win it all, let alone overwhelming favorites. Duke, UNC, KU, and UK all have 8/1 odds or better (depending on where you go), but Duke has the shortest odds of all everywhere.

    2016-17 Sporting News College Basketball yearbook Top 10

    How is Kansas over Nova surprising? It's easy to argue in favor of either. After Duke at one, you can easily argue for any of KU, UK, or Nova at 2.

    In order, whats your top 10 mens basketball programs of all time?

    There is still obviously debate about what constitutes a national championship in college basketball. Many schools, including 14 different power conference schools, currently claim national championships from an organization besides the NCAA. The claims range from AAU tournament titles to an...

    Did the committee have it in for Villanova?

    The committee seems to favor a couple programs in North Carolina more than the other bluebloods. They moved Kansas, who clearly should have been the overall one, put of the Midwest to protect Michigan State (which is a blatant violation of the principles and procedures). Then they moved...

    Updated Pomeroy ratings 12/30/15

    Kansas has made 26 straight tournaments. They have lost only twice in their first game. KU going out in the first round almost never happens.

    Louisville's scoring margin and the potential for the ultimate hollow OOC

    Louisville's OOC schedule is pretty much the opposite of helping to get a good tournament seed.

    Michigan State and Kansas

    We can argue all day about whether KU or UK has the better team this year, but there's no way either team beats the other 80% of the time on a neutral floor.

    Subjective But Kansas (MAYBE) Wins 4 SEC Titles From 2004-15

    Because postseason play is the best measure of regular season success? In what world does that make sense?

    Correct me if im wrong, but does UK have 7 Helms titles?

    The reason Kansas was awarded the Helms title is because they beat Missouri by ten in Columbia towards the end of the season. Helms just followed traditional American championship awards, giving the title to the team who played better at the end. That said, I wouldn't mind if Missouri wanted to...

    Correct me if im wrong, but does UK have 7 Helms titles?

    How many schools hang Helms banners is a good question, but would probably take a long time to figure out. Almost every Helms pre-tournament champion recognizes it as a national championship, though. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mythical_national_championship

    Correct me if im wrong, but does UK have 7 Helms titles?

    I don't think there is any doubt that some schools, like Kansas and North Carolina, have more prominently bragged about their Helms titles than other schools. But Kentucky has not been above claiming them as national championships in the past. It wasn't ridiculous for the school to claim the...

    Correct me if im wrong, but does UK have 7 Helms titles?

    UK has definitely claimed Helms championships. Here is the 1954-55 Kentucky Media Guide, which claims they are the defending national champions: http://ebay.com/itm/1954-55-UK-Kentucky-Wildcats-Basketball-Media-Guide-Adolph-Rupp-/201003809620 And here is a link where Ed Beck talks about...
