Kansas even though that's not happening. I want no part of Gonzaga or Arizona, they look like NBA teams. Auburn wins by default. I think we could give them some problems.

We already beat Kansas on the road so I’ll go with the known quantity.
Even though we've already lost to them twice and potentially could play them again in KC I think KU is beatable if our shots are falling and we play our usual level of defense. I've watch a few KU games other than when they played us this season and this is not the same dominant type of KU team they usually have. This is going to be a crazy tournament as there really aren't any teams that have separated themselves this season as sure fire Final 4 teams like there are most years.
I hope we are trending the right way offensively because our postseason fate basically falls on our ability to create some offense as our usual defense is going to keep us in most games especially against a team with a short time to prepare for us. If you go back through our box scores the games we shot the ball well were ones where we were not chucking up a bunch of 3's and attacked the basket more. The games where we shoot 20+ 3's we typically shoot some of our worst FG% in too. Hoping we are turning a corner there as the last 2 games I noticed a lot less bad shot selection and more emphasis of getting the ball into the paint or cutting to the basket to get higher percentage looks. Our 3's seemed to be more in rhythm and good open looks as a result too.
