Kansas has a solid back court no question. But let's not ignore that they could very easily have 6-7 losses right now, with multiple coming at home.

Still have no idea who to "hitch my wagon" on

Nobody is worthy of a wagon hitch this season. Just funny Chad keeps acting like there is some other obvious alternative.

If I had $100 in free money to gambol on the Title, I'm taking Kansas. After that, UNC.

The part about UNC made your whole comment sound like the only good team we have beaten was them. But ok.

I'll be hitching my wagon to UK, thanks. I just don't see how you leave them out of your top 6,.

I said I thought about a dozen teams were about the same in my eyes. Go ahead and plug them in for Carolina if you want.

I have.

13 years under Self. 29-12 in the Big Dance.

2 first rd flame outs.
3 2nd rd flame outs.
They've made it to the Sweet Sixteen 8x, Elite Eight 6x, Final Four 2x and have 1 title and 1 runner up.

So they have a better chance of getting knocked out in the 1st 2 rds than they do going to the Final Four.

Since Self got there, they've played to seed 3x.

I just don't have any respect for Kansas. That disrespect has been reinforced damn near every March for the past 13 years.

If you like them, fine.

If Mardi Gras always makes you wonder what Clarence Ceasar is up to these days, the answer is about 3 bills.


Must be those 1,500 calorie caesar salads at Zaxby's.

Go in on Kansas then.

They've been lucky as all hell this year. Top 15 Luck rating from KenPom. The Big12 is the exact opposite of the SEC. They lay down while we get the best shot.

Gonzaga sucks. White and slow. Don't play anybody. Never done anything in March.

Roy Williams sucks. He's like the original version of Bill Self.

How about Jay Wright? That guy never wins the big one. Good coach tho...

UCLA??? Have they been good since the Wooden Era? Steve Alford sucks.

Oregon? What? This isn't a uniform contest.

West Virginia? Bob Huggins have a heart attack yet?

Louisville? Lol. Yeah right. Pitino hasn't been good since the Kentucky Camelot days.

That leaves Duke. And Coach K sucks at teambuilding.

Was in a debate on Twitter about this with Myron Medcalf and KU fans. Big 12 has fluffed up teams that collapse in Big 12. Baylor gets to #1 and loses 5 of 7. Oklahoma last year is supposed to be great, proceeds to lose 6 times in conference. A few years ago KSTATE loses last game of season to tie (instead of win) Big 12 with Kansas. If Florida or UT under Pearl is any good, they don't lose home games to Johnny Jones or get beat by a shifty Mizzout.

Overall, Big 12 is better than SEC, but teams in that league hand the title to KU.

Roy and Pitino are two of the GOAT and I love Altman.

It's a one and done tournament. The damned thing is always going to be difficult to predict. Hell, even Duke under Coach K has a ton of head scratching defeats. They won Juan title (2001) in 17 seasons while being "the" program.

He says his mother didn’t cry at his final Madison Central home game and he doubts that she will tonight. What about Emma? “I don’t know. Ask her,” Hawkins said.

It's really hard to convey tone in writing, but I know exactly how Hawkins said this to ol' Larry. Exactly.

The man may be a danger to young women everywhere, but that takes talent. Or no self awareness. Either way
