Yeah. I dont really care but its weird. They had a bunch of teams last season too, and had a really awful tournament. All their teams got knocked out earlier than they should of by seeding. Big 10 is always overrated

San Diego State.
22 Kenpom.
157 AdjO/2nd AdjD.

6th best at defending the 2.

Slow things down, look for good shots.
Decent 3 point %.

I think we got an easy draw. We should make the final 4. I dislike the Auburn match up but I don't know that they will avoid an early upset.

San Diego State the best ( according to metrics ) of all the 8s and 9s in the entire tourney.

Is it just me or does the South seem extremely weak?

Sdsu is a tough draw but still should be beatable.

I also think Creighton is going to beat them and we match up better with them.

"1 Kansas

On July 6, 2021, Ochai Agbaji announced he was withdrawing from the NBA draft, one day before the deadline, and would return to Kansas. "I cannot thank my family enough, the NBA teams, my KU coaches and teammates, as well as everyone who supported me in this process," Agbaji said. "I am so looking forward to next season, playing in front of the best fans in basketball and contending for a national championship." That decision changed Kansas' prospects and has positioned the program to chase Bill Self's second national title. With Agbaji (19.8 PPG, 40.3% from 3) on the floor this season, Kansas has shot 56% inside the 3-point line, per hooplens.com. Agbaji is a Wooden Award contender and a projected lottery pick.

He's not alone. Christian Braun (14.6 PPG) is a pro prospect, too. And a supporting cast of Jalen Wilson, David McCormack and Dajuan Harris Jr. has been strong enough to help Kansas weather the inconsistency of Arizona State transfer Remy Martin, who had lingering injuries and problems finding his rhythm with this squad. Self is really doing this with six guys, a nucleus of talent that could send him to New Orleans, where the Jayhawks also played in the Final Four in 2012. To win the whole thing this time will require a stellar performance from McCormack, who sometimes shrinks in big moments."

San Diego State
"Despite the frustrations of those defeats, San Diego State has been one of the country's better teams during that stretch, shooting 39% from 3 and holding opponents to under a 45% clip inside the arc. Cal transfer Matt Bradley (17.0 PPG, 5.3 RPG, 41% from 3) made the all-Mountain West first team."

Creighton
"The Bluejays entered their Feb. 23 matchup against St. John's with a 19-8 record and wins over Marquette (twice), Connecticut (twice) and Villanova. But starting point guard Ryan Nembhard suffered a season-ending wrist injury in that game that could change Crieghton's postseason fortunes. With Nembhard -- the brother of Gonzaga guard Andrew Nembhard -- on the court this season, Creighton connected on 55% of its shots inside the arc and held opponents to a 43% clip there.

Creighton finished 1-2 in its final three regular-season games without Nembhard, winning a crucial matchup against UConn. Greg McDermott's squad, which was the best defensive team in the Big East and also one of its worst offensive performers, could face an uphill battle in the postseason without its top player."

I'd prefer Creighton - especially since they lost their starting point guard a few weeks ago.
