Final AP Poll

You have to admit that the KU team today is not the same team as the season began.

Didn't they start out ranked #1?

I do not recall if they started there, but they were #1 at some point and had some very good wins. Without Doke and Vick they’re not that team.

Mike DeCourcy of the Sporting News: “Can Kansas turn a Midwest Region in Kansas City into a hometown happening? (For that matter, did the Jayhawks really earn the opportunity?) KU is seeded No. 4, which means the committee has projected the Jayhawks to make it to KC for a potential Sweet 16 game against No. 1 seed North Carolina.
Sprint Center is a building where KU plays an annual ‘home’ game and also appears each year in the Big 12 Tournament. So it’s hard to figure how the Jayhawks would get placed on the 4-line in this region — and how conference regular-season champion Kansas State would be shipped to the West, in a region with a higher-ranked 1-seed.”

The committee knows the Sprint Center is owned by ISU so they didn’t see any advantage in placing Kansas there.

How long until Surly posts a quote about how Iowa State doesn't belong in the KC region too?

If I had to guess, I'll go with 2 days.





That's when his ban is lifted

Yup, the most deep and talented Bill Self team yet. Kansas will be fine. Quentin Grimes just needs more seasoning.

Kansas' bench will be talented enough to be a Top 25 team.

Too funny. Kansas will be just fine, especially once the freshmen guards get some seasoning.
