Perry Ellis hasn't looked this bad since his freshman year in '07.
This would be a start. If you took the last four at large teams out of the field would you change the final four? Don't think so.
Nova is really struggling to hit their shots early in the 2nd half

4 points this half. Wake up
I get your earlier point about having a smaller tournament (maybe 32 teams), but it's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The problem is that those teams from the smaller conferences are in the same NCAA Division as the teams from the major conferences, so the argument would go, and it might have a little merit. And like you said, it's a financial juggernaut now.
On top of Nova's shooting struggles all the calls are going KUs way this half. Nova needs to weather this.
Though most people seemed to agree that Stanford was one of the best 4 teams at the end of last season. Stupid road loss in week 1, so it was what it was.
The mighty SEC West bounced back from its 2-5 bowl fizzle in 14 (despite your protestations that they weren't overrated that season). I'm sure the Pac will manage to recover from lackluster seasons. I doubt you'll credit the conference when that happens, though.
Impressed by announcers when the ball is knocked out of bounds by Villanova - clearly, but officials go to stare at it - "ewwwe - I don't know". Of course you don't, troggladite.
Is every blown call reviewable? Serious question.

Well I just found out last night that whether a guy stepped out of bounds or not isn't reviewable because Cooney clearly didn't step out! The 2 I know of that are reviewable are whether or not it was a 3-point shot and which team a ball went out of bounds on.
I'm sure CVille or someone else can provide better insight on exactly what is reviewable.

I hate how the student athletes on the losing team are forced to ask questions by the media right after an emotional game. It's garbage...and I also hate how the NCAA tells the moderators to keep calling them student athletes when this UNC scandal is still not closed out. The postgame interview should only be of the HC. Let Perry Ellis and others be with their teammates and mourn in private...
Thanks. It seems like they can change any call. I know they're somewhat limited in football.
8 for 8 actually over the last 33 seconds

they can also review time, and of course if shots got off in time. Fouls they cannot review. I was at a loud bar last night...they didn't review the Cooney play? To me that seems reviewable and I thought they were looking at it...but again...loud bar and not mentally paying attention.
No bench scoring g for KU. That hurts
Always amazes me when programs that recruit at that level aren't able to go deeper with effective bench play. See the same thing with Duke and others.
Agree but it's hard to build depth when you are losing underclassmen to the NBA every year.

Doesn't ruin your bracket if you know KU's history.
Losing in the Elite 8 to the #2 seed isn't really that bad. It's nowhere close to losing to Northern Iowa or VCU or a Jonny Dawkins-led Stanford
Still have 12 guys on scholarship, man.
And Kansas shouldn't have trouble recruiting guys who can play.
But the roster turnover could be a big part of why they don't have the depth.
If not for that 2008 run, KU fans would probably be demanding his scalp (or toupee, as the case may be).
I'm thinking misplaced merkin.
