I'll have you note my quote. They're good, but not a top 5 team.

Here's hoping my Jayhawks (and my second team...Arizona) don't embarrass me.

I just quoted you cause you got the conversation kick started.

Predictions for tomorrow?

I'm thinking 74-65 Kansas. Close game but KU sinks FT's at the end

I hate predicting this year. KU is good, but was very tight in the first round. Roy's teams often bring out the best in us. But, who knows.

I think Jeff Withey is the X factor for KU in this tourney. If Ben McLemore is good, we win most games.

I think Kansas already played their clunker and they usually play well against the "name" schools.

Yeah Withey worries me. With this small lineup UNC is probably gonna get killed on the boards, but at the same time I think Mcadoo can pull Withey away from the basket. It's gonna be a wild atmosphere for a 2nd round that's for sure.

I think you hit it. If Withey has to come away from the paint, we're vulnerable. If he can camp out, we'll win by 15 (thinking of the 2008 game with Cole Aldrich knocking the hell out of Roy's team).

It's going to be fun. Withey is the best shot blocker in the history of the Big 12. He's smart and picks his fouls.

I have a feeling that UCLA is going to throw a lot of money at Shaka Smart to be their coach next year.

Feel bad for the dude that rolled his ankle, Babb

Senior and their best defender that had to watch the guy he should have been guarding nail threes (Lenzel Smith I think it was)

“@BFeldmanCBS: NCAA head of officials John Adams told CBS the refs got the call wrong on block/charge that went for Ohio State.”

The Zeller family should have invested in gym memberships for all of their kids because they're all soft and need to hit the weights.

He's a baby when someone guards him in the post.

If Temple could hit the broad side of a barn they would've won this game by double digits.
