The UT hate has a lot more to do with off the field or court behavior than on.

We play 9:05 on Friday. How do we get absolutely scheissed with the latest game of the tournament 3 times in a row ?

I remember someone here arguing with me claiming the difference in a 3/4 seed and a 6/7 isn’t that big of a deal. This was right after we lost to MSU and @ OSU. I argued the OSU loss cost us a seed. I stand by it. If we had won those 2 and @ OU, I think we’d be a 4. If we hadn’t blown @UT and vs ISU in January we’d be a 2.

The committee is not supposed to factor in players “injuries” but if we were at full roster probably a 5 seed.
So night games in football are the greatest things ever but night games in basketball suck? Our game will end at about the same time a prime time football game ends.
What is so terrible about late games?

Yeah, I think we'll struggle there. They can outshoot us and probably slow us down into the kind of half-court game where we tank. Anyway, round one first...

I dislike the late games as well. If I’m not out at a sports bar and drinking with a large crowd I’ll fall asleep. Never fails! I’m planning to stay home so there’s that!

Where’s the best place to get tickets? Will TCU have some later this week?

#1 seed Houston may have to play #9 seed Auburn in Birmingham in Round 2. #9 seed Auburn first plays #8 seed Iowa, in Birmingham.
#1 seed Alabama and #9 seed Auburn BOTH play their first two games in Birmingham. Auburn University to Birmingham is only a two-hour drive in their home state. How the hell does that happen? A #9 seed gets their first two games on a home court. SEC SEC SEC.

Because there is a game ahead of the late game and there is no telling when the late game will start.

At least Nevada and Arizona State have to fly across the country to play in Dayton, then fly back to Denver to play the Frogs at altitude. Late game Friday gives them some time to recover, but that's a hectic week for the opponent.
Will be a legend on the opposite sideline no matter who wins the play-in. Bobby Hurley coaches ASU; Steve Alford coaches Nevada.
If you play one of the play-in teams you play the last game of the day.
This year’s Gonzaga team is no where near as good as usual. I’ve seen them a few times and have not been impressed.

I am really glad we got a 6 seed instead of a 5, those 12 seeds are much better than the 11 seeds.
With that being said, once again Iowa State gets a more favorable draw than us. Even though they were an 11 last year and we were a 9, they got an LSU team with no coach and suspended players in the first round then a Wisconsin team in the 2nd round that was ranked 37 on KenPom. We had to play Arizona in Round 2. I'd much rather trade places with Iowa State and get a potential 2nd round matchup with Xavier than have to play Gonzaga, who we just don't match up well with.
I think we match up VERY well with both Arizona State and Nevada. Both teams have some big men to worry about, but Arizona State is putrid offensively, worse at 3 point shooting than we are and can't rebound. They also can't shoot 2s either. Then Nevada cant rebound and ended the season on a skid. Both teams are ranked worse on Kenpom than any Big 12 team.
But Gonzaga... yikes. Who the hell is going to guard Drew Timme? Cork can't guard him for entire game. Might as well double team Timme and force other Gonzaga players to beat us. Gonzaga is the best offensive team in the country. Their defense is their weakness, maybe they dont run back on defense, and they are not great at rebounding. Only way to beat them is outscore them.

They drew the best 15 seed, an experienced hungry Colgate team that is not just happy to be there but expects to win. 3 straight tourneys Colgate has come close to a 1st round upset.

Glad the Frogs played at Utah so they have plated at altitude. Salt Lake City is 1000 feet lower than Denver though.
