More times than not Kansas has exceeded their seeds expected # of wins. everyone just remembers 2005 and 2010 and thinks Kansas is prone to upset. They forget Bill Self has made more than 4 elite eights in his 10+ NCAAT appearances.

I don't think we do much this year for a variety of reasons, though. We aren't really that good, honestly. The tournament resume is really strong and they deserved either the last 2 seed or a 3 seed but it just doesn't feel like it when you watch them. You don't watch Kansas this year and think "that's a championship quality team."

Wichita state in the second round is just awful. They are a top 15 team by all accounts and they got the exact match up THEY wanted. Kinds bullshite IYAM. Then notre dame, then Kentucky? I just don't see anything great happening on paper with that path.

Reasons to like them? No one else does. That worked in 2012. They have won like 12 games or something against tournament teams. Good teams too, so they will be ready to play against anyone. Wichita state, for example, is facing the third best team they have played all year with Indiana in round 1. Kansas has played literally 20 games tougher than Indiana.

There is a decent chance they don't even play Wichita state or notre dame and get good match ups. It's the tournament, who knows? I certainly wouldn't write them off, but it could easily be another 1 weekend tournament.
