Nobody with an IQ above room temperature thinks Gonzaga is better than Kansas except the Selection Committee.

then look at the east region. The NCAA basically gave Duke a bye all the way to the title game.

Gonzaga is much better than Kansas. Try watching basketball.

Gonzaga plays **** teams and no defense. Saying they are better than kansas is t accurate. Gonzaga playing In the big12 would have at minimum 4 to 5 losses. I believe more actually.

Wilfjers being one of that conferences studs should be a red flag to everyone. Guess not.

Duke has he easiest bracket and didn't earn it. Again.

Based on what exactly? Their dominating their joke of a conference? KU's wins are far better than Gonzaga's.

Just remember it this way.. every year, some mid-major is going to lose 0-3 games.. and that will be Duke's 2 seed or 3 seed, or 1 seed if Duke already isn't the 1.

That's just how it goes.

Can Alexander be reinstated? Also, if any coach with half a brain after watching how Notre Dame beat Duke, you do the same thing. Don't double Okafor and allow him to score but guard the 3. Then in the second half you start fouling Okafor. Plus, on offense you spread the court and just do drive after drive to the basket.

that's a nice story line, but Alexander has had a very minimal impact on KU's season. he's averaging just 7.1 points and 5.3 rebounds per game (granted the minutes are limited, but still). thus, i don't think KU's failure in this tournament will be attributed to missing Alexander. that team has many other issues aside from missing a big guy inside.

as for all the folks who think that Kansas is somehow better than Gonzaga, the efficiency stats would suggest otherwise. KU ranks #11 on Kenpom, which qualifies it as the worst #2 seed.

meanwhile, Gonzaga checks in at #6 on Kenpom, which qualifies it as the third #2 seed. for the record, Duke is actually at #7 in kenpom, which only shows how laughable it's #1 seed actually is.

Alexander was their only inside presence. If that. Now they have no one down low.
