Hell Yeah! About time.

I'm glad we won yesterday, but we got screwed by having to go to Boise rather than playing next week in KC at the Sprint Center. Oklahoma is the Big 12 team at the Sprint and Kansas goes to Minneapolis for their sub-regional. Hell, we beat Oklahoma bad and even Kansas (and I hate to say this) had a better claim for the berth than OK. Big mistake. The NCAA pays all travel expenses for the teams so that cost them more plus not having a home team there will probably cost them some more in attendance, etc. It would be different if OK was that much better, but they're not.

I agree with you on the location, but we got the much easier draw than Okie did. In this case, the bracket we play in is much easier to advance in the tourney.

You think we&#39;ve an easier? Assuming everyone gets by the first round (given the quality of some of those smaller schools, not a given)... I&#39;d rather play Clemson than Marquette. And then assuming again both advance... I&#39;d say Memphis is every bit as dangerous (if not more so) than Syracuse. Heck, I&#39;m suprised Memphis didn&#39;t get a 1 seed over UConn.

I&#39;d say they both look tough, but definitely don&#39;t think Mizzou&#39;s is easier!

Yes! Go Tigers! Looks like I&#39;ll be able to walk into work with my head held high for once. My work is infested with KU grads, so getting a three seed along with the Jayhawks should make the water cooler talk a little more interesting. Hoping for a KU-MU battle in Detroit :)

Sorry to the KU fans, but I don&#39;t see Kansas getting very far this year. They got a tough draw and getting to the Sweet 16 will be quite a challenge for them.

No worries.. the hardware from last year will keep us happy for awhile!

And this isn&#39;t KU&#39;s year because we lost SOO much to graduation and the draft. If Collins stays for his Senior season, KU might be solid next year. But I&#39;m afraid that this year is going to end in the 2nd round (MSU is tough).

KU did get a tough spot. ND State is no slouch (and the killer B curse could come into play, they are The Bison) and I think MSU will have their number. I actually find myself feeling sorry for K-State. They got passed over by three other teams in the Big 12. Sorry, but I would have let them in before I let in Texas A&M.

As a Cat fan I&#39;d have liked to see them in the show, but realistically save a miracle they probably wouldn&#39;t have gotten out of the first round. The NIT is really a better fit for them. They play SDSU tomorrow night and if they can get by them (a big IF, they&#39;re no slouches) they could finish well in the tourney.

Yea... I agree bout the cats... they should have gotten in before A&M. (they needed that win today to show they were worthy of the invite) Despite their non-con, that was a pretty crappie slap in the face to say "We want 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and oh yea, give us #7 too, we&#39;ll pass on 4. Even if as someone said above they didn&#39;t fair well, I think they deserved a shot!

And if I was on the selection committee, I think I wouldn&#39;t be sleep&#39;n too well for the next few weeks... worried that "Don" Frankie was gonna whack us. (He can seriously look scary on the side-lines. I wonder how many poor opponent kids have missed free throws because they looked over at him and thought, damn, if I make this shot, he might have me whacked.) :unsure:

Imagine how embarrassed I am...I thought this thread was about the Detroit Tigers.

Duhhhhhhhhh....

[Bush-wacker69]

No, it&#39;s the Mizzou Tigers, but if you want to start a thread about baseball, I&#39;m willing to talk about the KC Royals. Ocassionally, when we&#39;re not too wrapped up in sports we talk about sex too.

[Sens55]

Well both MU & KU made it past the 1st round (as did ALL the Big 12 teams). Mizzou&#39;s gonna have their hands full w/ Marquette, although they&#39;re missing their best player. KU should be able to take Dayton BUT I&#39;m worried they might not have scouted them as much as WVU and that may hurt them.

I will say that I&#39;m having a LOT of fun. Finishing up my vacation and stopped in Memphis for the weekend and am walking all over town wearing my KU gear! Not exactly planned, but certainly worth the fun. And, I think the entire KU Campus spent Spring Break in New Orleans because everywhere I went I had people yelling out "Rock Chalk". Even had a hot drunk co-ed jump on me and wrap her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck while she yelled at the top of her lungs. Too bad my son was with me at the time!!!! He enjoyed the view though!

Anyway, I&#39;m hoping for a KU vs MU Final Four matchup for a chance to go to the Championship game! It&#39;s a stretch, I know. But, I think a Sweet 16 for either team this year would be an accomplishment. An Elite 8 would be fantastic, a Final 4 unbelievable and making it to, let alone winning, the Championship would be WWWWWAAAAAYYYYYY beyond my wildest dreams.

[JS42]

Hello Sweet Sixteen!! After Mizzou being in the abyss for the last five years, anything now is just gravy! Don&#39;t get me wrong, I wanna win the whole damn thing, but this has been a very successful year.

Go Mizzou!!

M-I-Z!!

Z-O-U!!
