The fact that everyone or most said they are making the FF makes them overrated. They are a very good team just became a little overrated by the media. They weren't beating UK anyways.
They got upset in a win or go home tourney. Upset does not equal overrated

No argument on the UK comment. Our offense against their defense would have made Butler's '11 offense in the championship game look stellar

Based on what? They were clearly one of the best three or four teams in the country this year. It's a single elimination tournament. The fact that a team has a bad day and gets caught doesn't suddenly mean they were overrated.

SDSU is helpless against Duke right now.
Duke is the real deal this year. Utah can beat them, and so can Gonzaga. But they'd be justly favored in each.

Looking at the east Region, if they get out, they're playing for the title. And they are one of the teams can can beat Kentucky without playing a Villanova 1985 game.

I am getting bored with the P5 Tournament. Season 1 Game of Thrones Marathon on HBO Zone is more entertaining.

Day 1 was a great day of games.

Day 2 and 3 were less than exciting.

Duke-SDSU was never going to be a close game, though, so hopefully Dayton-Oklahoma and Wichita State-Kansas are fun games.

It needs to be said: "Justise" is a name for a stripper, not a forward.

OMG the better funded programs win games? Watching reruns is way better. It might save us some more posts about how the games are fixed.

Kansas is a terrible shooting team. Oubre and Selden are overated. Mason is their best player. Go Shockers!!!

So you think that UConn can not compete with the majors going forward?

With Ollie they have a puncher's chance. Without him unless they strike coaching gold it's doubtful.

Already nailed one 7 over 2 pick hoping called another in this WSU v KU game.

I don't think that was a hard upset to latch onto. Wichita is mature and experienced in tourney play, KU isn't. As we can attest from our most recent NC, there's an advantage in having guys who've been together 3-4 years, even if the talent level of the younger opponent on paper is higher (and in this case much higher).

Granted, Kansas might win that game if K was coaching those kids.

The best rule that could be made about college sports is that whiny can't cry about referees.

if kansas loses this game, what does it say about their run in the big 12 and the state of the big 12? seems like kansas is always over hyped for the most part

I am very impressed with Wichita St. Marshall is a heck of a coach. They are putting on a clinic out there. Easy shot after easy shot and getting wide open looks. They run a heck of an offense.

Also does anyone do Less with more than bill self? What is it, 6 or 7 top 10 recruits in the last two years and they havent made it past the second round.

Wichita State is beating Kansas pretty good, and the BXII has been pretty bad in the tournament.

Conspiracy?
Don't tell Texas or nelson but the B12 is a mid major.
