Here's the think about KU...It is a year where there is no pressure on this KU team and Self. If McCormack can get back and be ready that's what will matter..
As far as Iowa goes...Teams that will play Iowa first couple rounds won't have played Garza and he can wear on you..If teams worry too much about Garza and JB and JW are constantly open Iowa will crush these teams..
Hopefully coachign staffs are smart and realize that in order to beat Iowa you cannot let JW or Jobo get off 3pt shots.

I haven't followed...would they take over anyone's seed if someone goes out?
Kinda weird but you have to earn your way no matter what I suppose.
Not sure. I've heard if say, Virginia or Kansas, can't play, that's it...their first round opponent just moves on. That's what Norlander just said on Twitter anyway.
I think Oregon and KU both would beat Iowa. I also think USC would as well.
If Iowa is lucky enough to get VCU in the 2nd round, KU or USC would be a tough matchup.
I also think if VCU happened to beat Oregon in the 7/10 matchup, they are quite possibly a WORSE matchup than Oregon for Iowa. They actually have bigs, and their guards are fantastic at defense.
As much as I dislike Self, he's one of the smarter coaches in the game. If he's got McCormack back, he'll have a plan and KU has a chance.
Trying to avoid this going south but if they meet someone with speed in the backcourt they'll struggle.
No. They get replaced by one of the standby teams. Louisville is first on deck.
I think the B1G teams steamroll. There were virtually zero nights off in conference play, and so many dominant big guys. Games were just at a different level in the B1G this season night in and night out.

West Region Breakdown: Will Zags' Perfect Run Continue?
The Zags have yet to lose, but they must navigate a region that includes three familiar top seeds.

Ok that is ******* stupid. So they don't get in the normal field, and say KU can't play, Louisville is automatically a 3 seed? F U C K I N G Dumb.
yeah kinda.. But what do you do? You can't reshuffle the whole field. Would have to give a 14 seed a free pass into the 2nd round if you don't replace them.
They didn't make the tourney for a reason. And to not only get in after the fact but as a top four seed is just so ridiculous. It's a one game bye for the original opponent. Not sure why they don't do that. Oh well, it's their deal I just think it's laughably dumb.
It’s a rare year that 1 or 2 12 seeds don’t win. You aren’t going out on much of a ledge
