See? :D

I was just about to point that out, lolz!

Probably helped KU that Duke lost at home to an unranked team...

Wow...ku was clearly kissing somebody's ass. Lose and move up? Oh well. I think ku has to win out at this point to get that #2 seed. If they wind up losing one more in the regular season, and then not win the Big 12 tourney, they would go into the NCAA tourney with 7 losses. That is a lot of losses for a 2 seed.

ku did drop to #10 in the espn/coaches poll:

Nice to see all the Kansas fans here. I assume you've stopped pretending that you don't care about Mizzou anymore.

Maybe you can tell your coach to grow up and do the same.

If Baylor wins out(except for ISU), and Iowa State wins out... Big12 is ours! :)

ku fans only care about educating us Saul. KC_Connection said so.

I for one only came by to congratulate you.

You maybe mad, but i'm too lazy to bump the KU thread. Man that was funny, tell your coach to grow up? Bill Self? LMAO

Don't hold your breath.

Hmmmmm 'think your education got you on that one.

When it comes to the ku/Mizzou situation, Self is being a big baby. Even the pundits on tv think ku is being stupid about it. I did not hear any of them comment that ku was in the right in their stand on the issue.

Why? Seems fair to me.

They played against a higher ranked seed in a tough environment and damn near won. KU proved that they are easily a top 10 team in that game and made a stronger claim than ever for a top 5(ish) spot.

They're a lot better than I thought they were. They certainly didn't deserve to drop after that game.

7th in the AP and 10 in USA Today... 4th in Sagarin and 3rd in kenpom. Tied for most wins against the top 25 with OSU and Kentucky (4-3 though).

If they sweep Baylor, it's fair to say KU is a higher #2, right? And he has MSU as a #2... MSU also has 5 losses, the same record vs top 50 (7-4) and two fewer games vs top 25 (3-2). Their SoS is right up there with KU though (KU is 2nd and MSU is 9th). UNC has a losing record against the top 25 (2-3) and has been mediocre against the top 50 (4-3).

If Baylor wins Wednesday, they would have a good argument for a #1 or the highest #2... KU has some more work to do, and there's not a big difference in that group of teams, but they have a pretty good argument for being in the Midwest, IMO.

This was supposed to be a low expectation season though, so granted I'm not arguing about success or a high seed, I'd almost rather see them go into the tourney as a 2 seed in the west or a 3 seed, so maybe they'll play with a chip on their shoulder... not that it really matters, I'm just preparing for the full reerun that will take place around here if they end up a 1 or 2 seed and lose in or before the SS. Outside of Kentucky and Syracuse (with Melo, at least), I don't have much confidence in any team this year.
