Big weekend just finished up. Per the discussion of number one seeds, here's how the relevant games came out:
--Florida lost to Kentucky at home
--Oklahoma really blew it at home against Texas
--Kansas beat Missouri on the road
If the number one seeds were assigned right now, before conference tourneys, I have to think Texas and Kansas would get the seeds. Oklahoma lost to Texas twice, so they have to win the Big 12 tourney to get the one seed. Kansas beat Texas head to head, and in beating MU Kansas won the Big 12 title outright. That's an easy call.
What to do with Florida? I think the loss at home has to hurt them. If Florida were to get a one seed, Kansas has to get the other on the strength of the win over Texas and the Big 12 title.
Tournaments will screw all this up.
A couple of other thoughts:
--Can we finally put to rest this preposterous notion that Texas Tech is a bubble team? Any team with those credentials not coached by Bobby Knight wouldn't even be discussed.
--Guess the number of non Big 12 or SEC teams in the Sweet 16. I think they'll make up half the bracket. Maybe 9 teams, even.
--Troy State will win it all.
--Kansas beat Missouri in Columbia. Oh, the pain for Tigers fans must be intense.
