    Even Barkley is saying Josh Jackson committed two fouls they didn't call.

    Half time TBS discussion: How is Kansas losing this game? Oregon is winning! That's not supposed to happen?

    Ducks look unafraid. Like they were prepared for this moment.

    Yep, pretty much the sub-text. Kenny looked disappointed despite actually picking them. Must simply be tired out on the east coast.

    Well. The difference is they sell out there games, Oregon only does when the Wildcats are in town.

    My only worry is the Ducks start contemplating their belly buttons in the second half.

    But, again, a younger team could easily fall into that mental trap. This Duck team is mature.

    The sites are, but the committee takes it into account when they seed.

    Would anyone be surprised if Brooks became a Michael Redd type guy in the NBA?

    I'll hedge it by saying that Kansas's strength are their two NBA wings, but this dude Bell(now 6 blocks) is looking like a NBA-caliber Junkyard Dog.

    The sites are decided years in advance, and the top seeds get regional preference.
