I remember so many tournaments that Kansas got crazy favorable locations: KC, Wichita, Omaha, Saint Louis, etc. It really seems the seeding is corrupt bs

clt says the ncaa would have UNC CHeat or Duke in the greensboro NC location for years.

I'm just really curious if anyone can remember seeing something like that. I don't remember them ever mixing up different regions to play in the same location.

Bruce Pearl was pretty cocky in his halftime comments. He said they played 17 teams in this year’s tournament, implying that Houston had an easy schedule. Pretty sure the Cougars played at least 11 tournament teams. I think he’s gagging on those words now.

People like him easily confuse "played" with "beat" for some reason when trying to logic.

Houston fans,

Who are you pulling for tonight? Miami or Indiana? Why?

a couple threads on this in the houston forum.. its 50/50 no strong preference for either..
we see both as roughly the same .. miami slightly more beatable but not by much.. but some want indianna as it be a hectic media week with their brand and huge fanbase (and sampson history)

Plenty of recovery time before round three, but still… I’m just rooting for 3 or 4 OT
