Also TragicBronson- I think you are undervaluing KU a lot. Embiid is a big part of the team but Wiggins, Perry Ellis, Tharpe and our other forwards are stacked. New Mexico may be a problem but that is also assuming that they actually make it past the first round.
Kansas, to me, has shown incredible growth this season, and their play hasn't peaked yet. Without Embiid, we rallied from being essentially out of the game vs. WVU, and then played a very good Iowa State team down to the wire in the Big 12 tourney. If Stanford beats New Mexico, KU won't have to worry about the NM bigs, and I think Tarik Black and Jamari Traylor are more than capable of handling the Stanford bigs. Then, with Embiid back, the 'Hawks can take down Syracuse, and the winner of Stephen F. Austin/Tulsa, who we already established beat Florida. In the Final Four, KU will face either MSU or *bold prediction* UConn, and in the battle of PG's with crazy awesome names, Nadiir Tharpe and Kansas edge Shabazz Napier and the Huskies, earning them a trip to the final, where they play (you guessed it) Wichita State, the most underrated, disrespected, predicted against, and generally shit-on #1 seed in recent memory. I can't pick a winner here, I have ties to both schools and want both to win. We'll call it a draw!
