I can't believe Clay and Bird have ruined another one of my gospel like basketball threads. You two are the reason I never visit the basketball forum.
I QUIT!

If anyone should be pissed off its A.I., although I think Colangelo looked at what happened at the last Olympics and tried to avoid picking guys who are a little too head strong. I think its shit. Kobe but not AI? Cmon'

Colangelo is the guy hand picking players and interviewing them. He's in charge of putting the team together, K is just coaching.

Colangelo picked the 20 something players for tryouts. K will have a hand in picking the final 12 spots.

Just being honest, Gertrude. They play about 20 minutes of good basketball a game...that will get them out of round 1, maybe round 2 if they're lucky.

Even if they win the Big 12? Seriously? They get a 5 seed.

Any idea how long ago duke got ran in the first round?
bueller?
bueller?
The team that got beat by Bucknell is gone, this is a team of Freshman and Sophmores, Bill Self's recruits. I'll go ahead and go out on a limb and say Duke will make it longer in teh tourney than KU. Does that make you happy 8?

Can they beat Texas?If not they are an 8 or 9.Two many good teams from good conferences deserve the lower seeds.

They can beat Texas, on a neutral court in or Lawrence. They're not ready for pressure situations, hence my leariness in predicting how far they can go in the tourney.
Besides Duke and UNC in the ACC, the top 5 in the polls, and MSU, Illinois, OSU and Iowa in the Big 10, KU is a legit 4 or 5 seed.
