2022 CBB Season

[sdoyel]

Illinois is a team you don't want to face. Outside shooting. A dominant big down low. Recipe for disaster.

Illinois wouldn't beat Arkansas.

If you needed more proof that the WCC is a garbage conference, look at this shit.

[pdub]

I actually agree with that if the NCAA keeps giving conference tournament winners auto berths.
Regular season matters.

[CrimsonNBlue]

And, to be clear, I actually could buy an argument that this is how the bracket should be for conference tournaments, because it puts more emphasis on the regular season winner, and, as a KU fan, it doesn't give a tough slate to the top dog, which I bitch about a lot when it comes to the Big 12 tourney.

But, stop calling this a "win and you're in" tournament, then.

Agree.
( well, mostly, you still have one last shot! )

Why would Gonzaga ever leave that shithole conference?

Same reason that Texas left a conference that acquiesced to their every demand. (not saying it happens any time soon, different scenarios)

[MICHHAWK]

the wcc bash fest seems random.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Apologies. Let's get back on track to bitching at each other about partisan politics on this KU sports message board.

[pdub]

Let's not.

[MICHHAWK]

lets bash the acc now. they have less teams in the top 25 than the wcc does.

[pdub]

mark fewer teams.

Nah, seems random.

[NewtonHawk11]

Extremely random. ACC has proven to be a top 3 basketball conference for the last 2 decades.

[KUTradition]

every year it seems, maybe even multiple times a year, there is a discussion about the zags and weakness of the wcc

[MICHHAWK]

only when they are ranked ahead of us.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Ah. So it was just a random opportunity to try and shit on KU fans.

[Sparko]

Conference weakness can be a good thing in that you get a shot to be fresh in the tournament and the kids sometimes stupidly believe their own hype from their beat-down of schools and play with confidence.

if Gonzaga drops the WCC tournament, they will NOT be the overall #1 seed. The door would be open for an Arizona, Auburn, or Kansas team to take it depending on how they also fare in their conference tournaments.
