**2022 NCAA Tourney Thread** (including play-ins)

I mean I get it. It was more about the path than anything, and I think mostly disrespect of Kansas and Providence.
#1 seed Kansas has flamed out early enough to get doubt. But still this is the biggest gripe against the analysts who picked Iowa.
#4 Providence was underrated by kenpom.
#2 and #3 auburn and wisconsin looked vulnerable and both indeed lost to double digit seeds.
It also seems like the analysts tended to look a lot more at analytics like kenpom instead of things like q1 wins that showed proven ability to get wins against tournament level teams.
Valid observations.
I realize my critique is easy to make in retrospect. Never know whether to trust Kansas as a 1, but I didn't trust Auburn at all to get out of that region (I did select Miami to S16). My thought was if KU got past first weekend, probably safe to F4.
Cheerleader too
This makes 5! Davison slapping Wisconsin on the board below "Iowa State" at 1:17
That's a good summary.
It's a tradition unlike any other.
I don’t watch them unless they are playing us. The old Woody and the Gingers crew was more fun to watch. I did tune in for the closing seconds when it was clear they would lose, but still almost forgot they were in.
You were probably thinking about the Sweet Sixteen which they haven’t been in since the last millennium.
ISU's go ahead drive in Austin '20 during ESPN's Ehlinger circle jerk is an all time great.
Wish they'd gotten the moment he pointed and smiled at ISU.
Then when he cried in the tunnel afterward.
I hear ya. Davison is a dirty player. Since he's been pointed out to me I've been watching him play. The play where he ran George over, twice, and stepped on his ankle, others. I couldn't find the clip but one time he was on the L corner middle, Wisky had just gotten a defensive rebound I think, and Davison twisted and elbowed R then L to clear himself. He didn't even have the ball. I may have that wrong but it was dirty and bad BB.
Kansas became the first team in the Kenpom era (2002-present) to win a national title after finishing the season NUMBER ONE in Adjusted Strength of Schedule. For those out there questioning Kansas' "easy path".
Not sure they did anything wrong this year or not. Probably did. No one will notice anyway. It is the Kansas way.
Still waiting on past transgressions
KU Has Spent More Than $3 Million Defending Itself Against NCAA Violations
In the three years since serious NCAA allegations surfaced against the University of Kansas basketball program, the Athletics Department has spent more than $3.5 million on four law firms.

Nobody here gives a **** about Ku basketball.
And
"A special congrats to Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas State for their incredible accomplishments of co-Big 12 champions in 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2013.
Better?" randomfan44
Now I feel better.
Since 2001 when the Recruiting Services Consensus Index (RSCI) service began, no national champion has ever had less than 4 Top 100 players in its rotation.
Kansas won despite having just two this year in McCormack at #30 and Wilson at #51.

Bill Self doing this with this team has the been the biggest flex ever. It just cracks me up to see the apoplectic fits it is kicking off.
