2 seed in Kansas City
Those two match-ups would be insanely entertaining. New Mexico is sneaky good when their shots are falling (of course you could say that about everyone…but New Mexico especially).
giving Kansas the #2 seed overall right after they went 1 and 3 in their last 4 games is crazy.
Despite 'Bama getting smoked in Norman, I hope UH does not see them in the NCAAs.
I hope we do. We definitely have unfinished business with them
I was thinking of 'Bama when I posted this.
I would love to play Alabama, Tennessee, Purdue, or Kansas
I agree… I hope we see Bama in the Final.

From now until Selection Sunday, I see 5 teams fighting for 3 spots on the 1 seed line
(Alabama, Houston, Tennessee, Kansas, Arizona)
Purdue just doesn’t lose.
I think this is fair except I don’t see anyone in the Big 12 really competing for a 1 seed. That conference is so good that it just cannibalizes itself. Kansas could very easily lose its next 3 games (K State, at Iowa State, Texas). With 6 teams in the Top 15, that’s a rough slate! Texas and K State have just as much a shot at a 1 seed as Kansas does, but I wouldn’t put money on anyone in the Big 12 pulling it off.
Alabama and Tennessee are definitely in the hunt, but I think only one of them will end up a 1 seed, not both. The B1G isn’t that great this year, but Purdue still has to play Indiana twice. If Purdue somehow loses 2 more conference games, we might could see both Alabama and Tennessee on the 1 line.
As for us, I think our margin for error going forward is zero if we want that coveted 1 seed.
Currently projecting 8 Big 12 teams in. WVU has upgraded to the last four byes. OU is the last team in. OKst is also in the mix as the 3rd team. Would take quite a few upsets to get all three of those teams in but if they did it would be monumental feat.
March is finally next door!
I assume you’re either February or April then.
Ok I’m leaving.
Lunardis latest. Kansas back to a 1 seed. After beating Kentucky and Kansas St
Tennessee to a 2 seed.
Bracketmatrix still has us as 1 seed also
Florida beat #2 ranked Tennessee 67-54.
Pitt wins at North Carolina.
Nova leads at Marquette with about 8 to play.
It is a joke to have 9 Big 10 teams in there… just a whole lot of mediocre teams. That conference gets so much of the benefit of the doubt in football and basketball it is ridiculous.
Jerry Palms bracket still has Coogs a 2 seed
Purdue, Alabama, Arizona, Kansas
We say this every year……ignore anything Jerry “Rosie” Palms has to say.
