Way to wear the ACC & SEC blinders, CBS crew.
Mizzou is a power 5 school that has an arena 2½ times the size of Cal Baptist's and has enthusiastic support across the region (as irrational as that may be). Cal Baptist is in their 8th yr of Div 1, and this is their 1st NCAA tourney. I think your worry about the horrors facing KU going to SD, to face this nationally-never-before-been-heard-of-team, may be a bit overblown.
On the other hand, it is quite sobering to note that Cal Baptist has been to as many Final Fours as Mizfuck U has. So maybe the equivalence is closer than I thought.

@approxinfinity A special place in the darker recesses of my soul for the Slavers.

@mayjay In an effort towards transparency, you should know that I married a Slaver . . . but I converted her. She wears Jayhawk shirts, sweaters or sweatshirts whenever we watch the Jayhawks. My Dad felt converting her was my greatest accomplishment in life.

Just looking at how insane it is for St. John’s to be a 5 seed. They won both big east titles, are 16th in Net and 17th in KenPom. If you figure in how hot they are you could make a case for a 3 seed.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 Johnnies have won 19 of past 20. Ridiculous that KU is higher seeded. East is loaded, but SJU has FF potential. Sadly, KU does not...
-
Illinois' got a nice gripe too as the 3 seed will likely have to play UNC in the 2nd round in Greenville, SC.

Got a great announcing crew for our game with Kevin Harlan (FIL of former badger Sam Dekker, father of Sams wife Olivia who is a TV personality doing NFL football stuff.). Robbie Hummel is one of the best young announcers in basketball and Stan Van Gundy is really good too.

Harlan is the best in the business, also a KU alum

I don't think the St. John's potential matchup is that bad for KU.
They don't have the big big size that typically bugs KU's bigs.
Zuby and Hopkins are 6-9 and 6-7. Mitchell is 6-8.
If those guys are 6-10+, then i'd be more worried.
I think Flory will be fine -- if somebody highly caffeinates Tiller before tip off!
