Vandy and Nebraska are both higher in kenpom then St. John’s
True. Very few Quad 1 wins and 0 and 3 against Sec, one of whom was Auburn.

Edit: 1 and 3. Win against Ole Miss by 5.

That said, they definitely have looked great the past month and their physical style will give Duke issues if they beat Kansas.

If it's SJU it will be a hack fest just like TCU. All Pitino teams play that way....

They’re physical without getting called for a lot of fouls. It’s incumbent that Jon rides these refs early and often to get an even shake

Still gotta get through Ku though. Not a foregone conclusion

That's the Pitino effect..... his teams hack and make officials call the fouls.

I still would rather St John’s. Kansas has a TON of talent and Peterson is playing this time around and he can go for 30 at anytime. I think we matchup with St John’s better

Overall...are you enjoying the Tournament as much as in the past? Seeing a lot of people saying its lost its edge...with no cinderella's etc and pretty much all P5 teams winning....I lean towards that view...just seems to have lost some aura for me...I havent watched it from morning to night like usual...the wife is happier though! lol

I’ve enjoyed the tourney so far. I don’t mind a little bit of underdogs, but the major teams make for better ratings. The small schools run out of gas after a round or two. High Point gave Arkansas all they wanted. Their coach either just got a huge raise, or he will be coaching somewhere bigger soon.

For those that don’t live in NC, they are a small city near Greensboro.

Have you looked at High point? Its more like a lavish country club with an education program...High end restaurants on campus to teach etiquette ( included with tuition), a mocked up airplane to simulate discussions with CEOs on a plane, housing that would be high end in any suburb and an arena that would do any D1 program proud...oh, and a free ice cream truck roaming around campus! Its quite the place!

Both teams will be very tough but Kansas has 5 guards who can consistently penetrate the lane and they have real size. They would be a team that would really make us miss Foster.
