I dumbed your post that said Lunardi has Iowa in Des Moines. I didn't dumb your post saying there was a chance.

Reducing travel doesn't mean you are guaranteed to travel to the closest destination. They also most definitely look at future matchups when seeding.
I think KU and TX both win their next 2 and the conference comes down to KU at TX. I also think with KSU beating Baylor last night and KSU's schedule they'll get 3rd and we'll play Baylor back to back as the 4 and 5. I think OSU is fading and we have the tie breaker and a 1 game lead on TCU so could even afford to go 1-2 down the stretch and get the 5.
I can't see Texas winning both of the next two games at Baylor and at TCU. I think they drop at least one.
Dunno...they're hit and miss for me. While they aren't as good as last year...the overall field is not as strong either. I could see them losing to a tough 8/9 team in round of 32 or winning it all.
I don't like him. I know many do. I do not.
The tournament is going to be nuts this year. There are a few teams that could win it but also could be vulnerable to an upset and then lots of other pretty good teams. I do like how battle tested KU is vs a Houston or UCLA or something but they have their weaknesses
Don't disagree but that could be said about most of the 1 seeds in any given year. Creighton gave KU all they wanted last year in the 2nd Round. 1 seed Baylor lost in OT to 8 seed UNC. Who knows, if Baylor survives that, they may have repeated. The difference between losing in the 2nd Round and winning it all is often razor thin. That's the beauty and the agony of the Tournament.
If Iowa was in the 8/9 game in the bracket with KU, I still don't think KU will have to worry about playing Iowa. In fact, it's probably best for them as there will be a flood of tickets available after the first round.
I have similar thoughts, though I think KU takes it and may not need that game at Texas
Providence and UConn in a good one.
Providence always seems to look like a team that would fit in well with the current B12.

ACC is such a mess. They don’t deserve more than what, three? Four?
To me, that's part of the allure of college basketball. Has a box-of-chocolates aspect to it.
(Not always fun when our team is on the wrong end of it, but ... that's the trade-off, I guess

Generally almost every team has high highs and low lows.
I heard the other night that their average conference NET is 100+ or something?
UConn looked good tonight. They were playing at their on campus arena. Amazing how many BE schools play at two places for home games.
