    I just think that there is no 'great' team this year (UNC last year, and the like).

    Any one of about 15 teams (maybe more) have a legit shot at the title.

    Kansas looks amazing some nights, very much less than amazing tonight.

    Edited to add: Goes to show that in-season rankings are junk. How many times is Duke in the top 10 in the polls but can't make it past the sweet 16. Not to pick on them, just that in seasons, esp like this one, rankings aren't the gold standard.

      No, you can't win and play good every god damn game. This is a stupid fukking post IMO. Maybe they are over-rated at #1 after this loss, but they'll be right where they belong at 2,3 or even 4 next week. You can't win 'em all...

        If shots like that aren't going to fall for Collins, this just isn't their night.

          Kansas can be great, but I have said it all season. To struggle with Colorado, A&m, Nebraska, Cornell.....they are beatable.

            Every team out there this year is overrated if u think they are undeniably the best team in college basketball, other than that, no Kansas is not overrated.

                I like that, this is going to be a great tournament. Anyone can make a run. Would love to see another george mason type team make a run. I still think Syracuse and Villanova are final four teams despite their losses.

                  Def not one of those years where everybody's bracket looks the same and more than half of the #1 seeds make the Final 4.

                  Should be a great Tourney.

                    Agreed. Should be an excellent tourney.

                      No way kansas wins a national championship with the way they play. One of the worse free throw shooting teams in college basketball.

                        I mean if morningstar cant hit two free throws when the game is locked up he wont be able to hit them when it counts in the tournament. Free throws are tournament killers. Ask memphis and Calipari.

                          It's happened all year...why would it be different tonight? Take the dog especially at home but anything more than +7 is good.

                            Actually this might be the first Big monday that both dogs covered.

                                  lol, you're retarded.

                                  KU is an above average FT shooting team.

                                    I was just telling my buddy from Kansas that they are a beatable team and could get upset in the tourney this year. He wasn't happy with me.

                                      How are they overrated? All they've done is win. Just because they don't win "sexy" - doesn't mean they aren't a quality team. I don't think anyone has annointed Kansas as the team to beat despite being #1. They've earned #1 and have the best "team" IMO. To me, they have the experience factor with Collins and Aldrich,et al over teams like Kentucky and Syracuse. Someone has to be #1, but that doesn't make a team overrated.

                                      There isn't a team in the Top 25 who isn't capable of getting KO'ed in Round 1 depending on the match-up.

                                        In my personal opinion, I never liked Kansas or Texas being ranked so high. Texas basically validated themselves for me, but Kansas is a solid team. I still put Kentucky, Syracuse, and *Nova (some key losses down the stretch) up there as the best teams I've seen all season. But Kansas is a deserved #1 for the moment. Sweet 16, minimum.

                                          I'm still not sold on aldrich, he is a great shot blocker, but he seems slow to me. Many times I watch him struggle offensively. I feel like if Kansas runs into a team with a more athletic big man he will have trouble.
