Heads22 Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 This tends to be fun. Kansas will be the 1 seed, most of the rest will be determined on the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Wednesday's games should be forgettable. Thursday, ISU/OSU should be quality. Didn't really want to face them again, but the crowd will be ISU-lean. Will be surprised if the semis include anyone but the top 5 seeds. Iowa State/Kansas part 3 would be a lot of fun and what all the businesses in KC want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 TCU and Texas won the play-ins. Texas was a mild upset. First main round game just started, Ok State vs Iowa State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 9, 2017 -> 11:48 AM) TCU and Texas won the play-ins. Texas was a mild upset. First main round game just started, Ok State vs Iowa State. Clones win at Hilton South, 92-83. Play winner of KU/TCU on Friday at 7pm CT. Seems like right now, ISU is a 6-seed for the Tournament even if they lose to Kansas. Have a chance to get to a 5 or maybe even a 4 if they win two more, but that's a tall task.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Hey, TCU up by 9 over Kansas with 14 minutes left to play. Wish I could turn on a TV here. That might put TCU close to an NCAA bid if they could pull it off, though it would still be a stretch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they lose, but the late rally has been their specialty this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they lose, but the late rally has been their specialty this year. Probably KU pulls it out. But the combination of playing a desperate team when KU doesn't have as much at stake, and being on a neutral floor, things can happen. I also just noticed, hadn't realized before... Kansas only lost 1 true road game this year (WV). Their other losses were at home (ISU) and neutral (Indiana). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 TCU does it - 85-82. Tie game, 4 seconds left, TCU goes to put up an off balance 3 from the corner and a KU player barrels into him for the 3-shot foul. TCU makes all three. Not sure who the KU player was who made the foul, but that was ugly and a really poor decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 10, 2017 Author Share Posted March 10, 2017 That means it turns into the Iowa State invitational, because Kansas State is the only other team with any fans at all there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
