Top 16 seeds revealed

True.  Like Lloyd putting freshmen Lewis and Krivas in the game to beat Dook in their house. 

Or allowing freshman Boswell to step up and take the big shots in the conference championship game against UCLA.

Those never happened.

I fail to see where you are making the correlation. I said in March Madness. Tommy goes down with his ship and has zero plan/imagination for how to survive and advance.

For those who enjoy references:

Kansas was 22-10 last season.
10-8 in Big12 Conference Play.
Finished 5th in the Big12.

Kansas was a 6 seed in the Big 12 Conference Tournament (Breaker with BYU placed him 6th instead of 5th), earned 1 Bye to the 2nd round and got walloped by Cincinatti 72-52.

NCAA Selection Committee on "Selection Sunday" granted Kansas a 4 Seed where they faced a 13 seeded Samford and were basically on everyone's "upset list" as they lost one of their marquee players.

However, Kansas won their 1st round as they have the last 16 times in row before that (someone can research and check that if you want).

Kansas boasts a Winning Streak of 17 Games in a row and are 46-5 all time in the First Round assuming they make the Big Dance this season.

SO IF YOU WANT A BAROMETER OF WHERE ARIZONA CURRENTLY IS/SHOULD BE IN THE BRACKETS AT THE MOMENT...

Kansas shouldn't be anybody's barometer.

Although they're currently struggling, Bill Self took this program to new heights, including 14 consecutive conference titles (until Covid and espn's "recruiting investigation").

Lloyd made two Sweet 16's over the past three seasons, something KU can't say. In fact, Kansas has only been to one Sweet 16 since the 2018-19 season.

The difference, hiwever, is that their coach led them to four Final Fours since 2003. Arizona hasn't found a coach that can take them to ONE.

Bill Self was almost fired prior to the 2003 season because Jayhawk fans demanded success. New coaches deserve patience and we'll see how Coach Lloyd fares in March over the next two seasons.

If he can't consistently make it to the second weekend, the alumni obviously won't be happy.
