Don't worry about the mules, just load the wagon!!
In ESPN's latest bracketology, KU has dropped to a 3 seed. Okay, I get I may be splitting hairs, but the 3 seeds are Kansas, Texas Tech, Michigan St. and Houston. In the composite of 49 computer algorithms including KenPom, Sagarin and my own DPPI, Houston is 5th and Kansas is 7th. Seriously can 49 computer algorithms be wrong? But Duke and UCLA are 2 seeds. Duke is 11th and UCLA is 9th. Yes, I am splitting hairs here, but the love affair with Duke is just silly. Of the 49 algorithm's only 5 even have duke in the top 8 and one of those is the ridiculous 7OT which is some weird algorithm that makes no sense to me. Let's review, KU has the No. 2 SOS, one of the top 5 candidates for POY, a 7th ranking among 49 computers and the same record as Duke who has the 78th ranked SOS. Seriously? What is going on? I do not, I repeat, I do not dislike Coach K. In fact, as a purist in the sport I have nothing but respect for what he has accomplished. But let's give the Duke thing a rest. They are a decent team deserving of a No. 3 seed but to be ahead of KU, no!

We seldom see such a thoroughly dominant butt kicking in conference, especially in AFH where our conference brethren are almost always up, even if they do lose in the end, and almost never do we drub a highly ranked conference team.
When the second half started and the butt kicking continued I settled back to relax and hope the refs didn't help Baylor get back into it. Scott "Whiner Drew bitching about the refs post-game?
OMG, what a buffoon.
If they called the game right the Bears would have been called for over the back on almost every rebound they pulled down.
I didn't watch, how was the handshake line? Drew is such a diva.
KU will definitely hop up in the standings and the seedings after today.
