Shouldn't be to much mystery to this one. For nearly the entire season the Jayhawks have held the #1spot in both polls. Despite the media's great efforts to place both Kentucky and Syracuse on the pedestal, neither team handled success very well(cue the t-shirt pics).
I fully expect the Kansas Jayhawks to be the #1 overall #1 with trips to OKC, St. Louie and hopefully Indy on tap over the next three weekends. The questions today surround the opponents. Who will we play? What are the matchups? and of course there are a few games today as well.
This will be the open thread for all the action. Pull up a chair grab a beer and let's have some fun on one of the great days in sports that doesn't actually involve an actual game.
Miss St v Kentucky - Noon CST
Duke v Georgia Tech - Noon CST
Minnesota v Ohio State - 2:30pm CST
Selection Sunday Show - 5pm CST

Duke looks like they're going to stomp Georgia Tech today.
Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

I'm happy that the Miss State vs. Kentucky game is looking good
(for the first few minutes at least)

I'm so glad the selection show is at 5
I wasn’t accounting for time zone and I was a little devastated that i couldn’t watch it.
Huge 3 for Miss. State

Cousins sure has a temper...
good thing he didn’t end up at K-State or or Martin and Cousins might have killed eachother.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
I was just going to post that's he's a bit of a whiner.
I don’t remember who said it earlier this year, but it seems you can get under Cousin’s skin and really frustrate him, causing him to lose focus. MSU has really done that today.
by MichiganJayHawk on Mar 14, 2010 2:00 PM CDT up reply actions
Despite that
someone else steps up, and Cousins often seems to manage to rein it in and play.
But I’d still love to see KSU play UK.
You gotta be shitting me.... how can you not get rebound?

excessive celebration for a game tying shot
by fizzle406 on Mar 14, 2010 2:06 PM CDT via mobile reply actions
exactly what I was thinking...
so excessive that I forgot it only sent the game to overtime…I was sold on Kentucky having won it with that shot the way they reacted.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
well looks like...
Calipari finally found a team worse at shooting free throws than his own.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
I think this game shows how weak the SEC is this year.
Play good D against Kentucky and they very beatable.
by MichiganJayHawk on Mar 14, 2010 2:16 PM CDT reply actions
absolutely...
they don’t look like a great team to me…they look like a team loaded with talent, that has both a team and a fanbase completely bought into the hype.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
of course...
the more I think about this season, the more I’m beginning to think that hype is what it’s all about in some instances.

In the games I've seen them in
when they have to dig for a victory, they do manage to find it. I think more importantly they never really look like they’re reaching the limit of their game. I want to believe they are all hype, and I think the big question is whether they will rise or crumble in tournament time.
Here's how I would beat them
1. Zone.
2. at the end of the game, have Withey come in and foul Cousins 5 times.

They do come up with some amazing shots
but in a lot of their close wins that I have seen, it seems to have been more the other team crumbling/bumbling than UK coming up with a stop. See the OR today & the putback at the buzzer. Also see the critical missed free throws by MSU today. That was MSU’s game to lose and they did…

Baseball Update.
Game 4: KU 5 – LSU 3 (middle of the 5th) KU scored four runs in the top of the fifth to take the lead.
Cameron Selik is pitching although, at least according to the radio announcers, he is clearly struggling with a sore sholder still. Tom Hedrick said he looked about 80%.
Sounds like an ugly game. Wind is playing with the ball and there has been plenty poor fielding. It sounds like the weather in Lawrence was better than Baton Rouge for baseball on Saturday and today.
The series is tied 1-1 so this is the rubber match.

KU 8 - LSU 4 (middle of the 8th)
If KU can hold on and close this game out, I will be fairly pleased.

I'm not sure I'm a big fan....
of the bracketology shows that interview coaches on the bubble…just comes across as desperate and pathetic listening to these guys campaign for their teams.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
I agree, but Illinois has a good case after their 2 games vs OSU and Wisconsin in the tourney
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Gotta fight to keep that paycheck coming.
Making the tournament does wonders for job security.

So annoying. All he does is bitch. And he looks like a platypus

Is anyone watching this NCAA bracketology deal...?
they are almost presenting Joe Lunardi’s bracket as THE OFFICIAL bracket. They just announced the 10 seeds by saying, “time to find out if your team is in”. Just seems pretty arrogant to me.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Then they flash 11 teams...
up as potential bubble 11 seeds and the guy asks “who should be in”
Gottlieb and Williams kinda stall as 4 of the 11 are already in by automatic bids and the question is ridiculous.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Yeah
Although Lunardi is usually freakishly accurate. I think in the past 5 years he has only missed like 5-8 teams total

I know but still...
If I’m on the selection committee and they start pulling this crap every year…I’d start changing things up to fuck with people.

We need to start a RCT podcast series
So we can debate these things in funny fashion
Shit happens when you win championships
we've considered doing that...
I’d be open to suggestions on a format.

I’m not real familiar with podcast type stuff.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
I was actually thinking about that today
When I was driving back from Lawrence listening to a Bill Simmons podcast, kind of how he just calls people and interviews/talks to them and records it, then just releases it as a podcast.
It’d be cool with player interviews although that’d be hard to pull off. We could go around and talk to one RCT member once a week then post it, one of the admins could be the interviewer.
Can you imagine KC and I yelling about soccer, KU hoops and etc. Or Slam and someone yelling about Hockey?
Listen to a Bill Self podcast and you’ll get the idea. I think it’d be awesome.

Minnesota as a 13? Damn can BCS conference teams drop that low?
Xavier as a 6 vs. Cornell as an 11 would be an epic 6 v 11 game

Also that wouldn't be good for Texas

A KState buddy of mine just texting me:
“F*ck KU, you guys are gonna choke I guarantee we beat you in the tournament final 4 if you even get there”
Haven’t the cats learned by now that…well…we are just a better team?
Shit happens when you win championships
That's all they have which is sad...
we beat them three times this year and for everything important in the conference. Now they rely on us losing in the tournament. That happens, it’s very possible and they’ll somehow find solace in that which is pathetic. The ONLY time I would say you can gloat based on what another team DIDN’T do…is if you somehow win the whole damn thing. If they lose in the Elite 8 and so do they…is our season suddenly less successful then theirs? Not at all..it’s just silly. Missouri fans do the same thing.

Fuck KSU whiner fans
KSU had three chances this year to beat KU and they failed all three.
Fuck all their other pathetic ways they try to feel their teams are better than KU. Just fuck ’em.
I'm pretty sure...
most of the guys on ESPN think this is ridiculous too…they don’t look comfortable with this and continue to say “hypothetical” despite the hosts best attempts with terms like, “lets see who’s bubble’s are burst” etc.

53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!
Not as hard as Kentucky in the Second Round
Texas has been in the tourney, Kentucky hasn’t. The only advantage you could have on them, backcourt experience, doesn’t come into play with Kentucky. I really, really have to watch that game.

by MichiganJayHawk on Mar 14, 2010 5:26 PM CDT reply actions
Yeah I think that should be a good game
If TX is looking for the national stage on which to show everyone they don’t suck, that’d be the game. Though I kinda think they’ll be one and done.
So I think this means Missouri...
is going to get a shot at Duke in the South as the 8 or 9 if they get out of the first round.
53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!

anybody see them just turn it on against minnesota in the 2nd half? when Lighty gets in a groove they can be a pretty scary team. fortunately they don’t play a single player over 6’8’’ so KU would just abuse them inside with Cole and the Morri
and they're not deep at all

to Tennessee or Ok State again….Michigan State isn’t close to last year and we almost beat that team. Maryland doesn’t worry me for whatever reason.
Ohio State and Georgetown I’ll give ya…but we can only play one of the two.

Maryland doesn't worry me
because their games are the product of their best player. I have 100% confidence that Taylor or Morningstar would swallow Vasquez whole and we’d win pretty handily, assuming our layup % isn’t in the tank.

Clearly playing in a mediocre ACC conference, whose co-winners ended up as #1 and # 4 seeds is enough to get you a #1 seed with by far the easiest bracket.

This is an awesome point.
How many of the fans from Georgetown were hoping they’d be in Duke’s bracket? How about Ohio State? They had to figure as a bubble #1 seed they’d be getting either Syracuse or Duke, right? Getting Kansas is a shitty reward for coming on so strong at the end of the year. And how pumped could UNLV REALLY be getting in and then seeing they’re the 8 seed in the Kansas Bracket.

I like this comment my Marcus in LJW today
There’s Ohio State and Georgetown and the only teams we lost to (Tennessee, Oklahoma State). That was tough to think about. I feel we’ve got a lot of tough teams in our bracket. But, I mean, at the end of the day, it doesn’t even matter. Whoever they put in our bracket is just another step standing in our way," Morris added.

I'm hoping our guys feel a little slighted by this...
and truthfully all anyone in the media is talking about is how tough Kansas has it. It’s like our team is a dead man walking and everyone’s talking about us as if we’re already dead. Of course then when it’s time to make the picks they all still pick us, but I’m hoping this puts a little chip on Sherron’s shoulder.
Plus, what better way to become the winningest all time college player than to run the gauntlet one last time. I’m getting pretty fired up for this opportunity the more I think about it.
