Kansas and Stanford in a dog fight early. Have to think Kansas wins comfortably.

This tourney has been fun, but I have been missing the handful of buzzer beaters (I.e. Down by one, guard takes it coast to coast and hits the winner) that there usually is - also, the Texas game was tied, I am missing the make it or go home shots - The closest thing that sticks out right now is the 4 point play, which was awesome, but not a winner.

We'll have a solid turnout, but I fully expect to be outnumbered.  UK and UL fans live and die basketball and they're used to traveling en masse to regional sites - they do it every year - whereas we're just getting back in the swing of things in that regard.

It won't be as bad as a genuine road game, but I'd bet it'll be like 70-30 against us if we play in the Elite Eight.

Wisconsin, a two seed gets a home game, and the Shockers go on the round agains an underseeded Kentucky.  #neutral court.

WSU botched the end. Between letting 3 seconds run off before the timeout, and then going for an unnecessary HeroBall 3 to end it. I'd take my chances for OT and try for the tie. Especially with the time constraints...easier to hit a two under pressure than a long 3.
