    It's hard to find a bracket projection this morning that doesn't have us out West in Vegas as, at best, the #3 overall seed.

    Makes me wonder if this afternoon's game even matters from a seeding perspective?

    I think unless A&M beats Bama today this is almost certainly the bracket:

    Forgot to add our
    Wanted to add that our winning percentage in quad one games is 87%. I think to say that is much higher than what Kansas can say. Much higher.

    I think Alabama gets the #1 overall if they win today. If bama loses, I think the committee will put Kansas as the #1 overall with their resume. Can’t really deny how strong it is with their schedule this year regardless of losing yesterday. Just a boat full of quad 1 games all year long both non conference and the gauntlet of what the big12 was this year. So We’ll see

    selection Sunday is finally here! Just please get out of this game without any further injuries. I do like with sasser out today it gives Terrance and sharp extended run going into the tourney. They need a game like this before it all starts

    Technically they can hold Sasser against us, but that will just add fuel to our engine like it did last year. Alabama has a legitimate case. They beat us.

    I think we win today even if Sasser does not play. Don't think Sampson will allow the team to take the day off. But it is going to take a solid effort by Mark, Walker, and Jwan. Shead is going to be Shead. Not worried about him. Freshman guards are going to have to grow up and play big as well. Now is their moment to show us what they can do.

    It "should" be UH/Bama/Kansas/Purdue then UT/Marquette/Zona/Zaga

    Why don't the Coogs just beat the everliving **** out of Memphis today and see where the chips fall

    I fully expect this to be one of the dirtiest basketball game I've ever seen.

    Memphis is going to be pulling a lot of **** today.

    I hope we don't retaliate in kind.

    I can't see how Kansas could get the #1 overall seed after getting blown out by UT twice in one week.

    Good and bad news in this but just get out of this game with everyone. I trust John houston and KS signing off on this. Dodged a big one

    They must think that it's not that bad and that they need a win to secure the #1 overall seed. I could see the committee giving that to Alabama if Sasser doesn't play today.

    At this point I don’t think it was that bad and he could have actually returned yesterday if it was a bigger game. Just played it safe and with treatment and rest til today it’s fine. Just glad it wasn’t a knee or major strain of any sort. That was close and would have just been brutal
