NCAA Tournament 2024

Uconn gets a good draw. Pencil them in for the FF.

Auburn is actually 10thAdjO and 4thAdjD. That's one of the worst teams they could have gotten paired with as their 4.

Auburn is one of five teams that have the kenpom metrics that typically produce the winner.

Thanks for your insightful post. Let us know who else to pencil in.

Just yanking your chain. I know Auburn is good.

Fucking Nebraska vs. A&M is poetry.

Committe +1

We got a made for TV match up. Of course a 3pt chucking team.

Fuck the NCAA.

But, Purdue is the best 1 for us to face.

Texas v Tennessee could be fun

[DeletedUser]

Well, things could be worse for KU. We can win our first 2 games.

Purdue like to choke in the tournament. And at least HD has some experience against Edey.

And we've already beaten Tennessee once.

Not optimistic, but not a bad draw overall.

We play Thursday.
Damnit.

Samford is not ideal.
8th best 3 point % shooting in the country.
Shoot the 3 a decent amount.

They haven't played a top 80 team since November though - when they lost by 50 to Purdue and 10 to VCU.

For the 5 seed - Gonzaga is not great for us in that regard either.

[pdub]

Ok conflicting info.
Could be playing Friday.

Hoping McNeese takes out the Zags.

The deeper we get, the more I like our matchups.

I think KU makes it to the elite 8.

As long as it's not the late game Friday night...

[DCHawk1]

I think KU makes it to the elite 8.

I will apologize to Dedrick, if that happens.

And if we win the thing, I'll eat 7-year's shorts.

I love your optimism. Makes me feel like a bad fan.

[pdub]

All three teams in Salt Lake City are bad matchups for us.

Not seeing it.

Confirmed Thursday game.

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

Help me out. Why do I feel UConn and HOU are in tougher regions than UNC and Purdue?

[RainbowsandUnicorns]

KU opens -8.5

[pdub]

We have the toughest 13 and 5 of any region.

All in all it is a good draw for KU. We can find something not to like about just about anyone but I'll take an opening team who hasn't played anyone good with any sort of success followed by the worst Gonzaga team of the last decade+. Kinda bummed that KU has to play at altitude being as shorthanded as they are. KU's hopes hang on HD's availability. I assume McCullar will be good to go.
