Interesting quote

This is about the men's bracket. With all the talk about conference tournaments and upsets, here's how the men's committee looks at it.
OU men have beaten 2 of the #1 seeds (Kansas and Maryland).
I don't follow the men that closely anymore, but what has Cincinnati done???

Kansas held onto its top spot, despite losing to Oklahoma in the Big 12 championship
game Sunday, while Cincinnati beat out the Sooners for the final top seed. Oklahoma
drew the second seed in the West.

"We had Cincinnati as a No. 1 seed before the game was played Sunday and I said 'OK,
what if Oklahoma beats Kansas, would that change your mind?' " Fowler said. "We had
about a 30-minute discussion and then decided that it shouldn't be based on that one
game versus the total season."

Clearly the men's selection committee held no regard for what happened in post-season conference tourney's. What happened to Maryland, Oregon, and Oklahoma had no bearing on how they were ultimately seeded.

Quite the opposite was true for the women. The post-season tourney affected Stanford, Vandy, Tennessee, and Oklahoma's seeding.

lol, apologies is this has been posted.....a funny quote.

From the Kansas City Star: A phone on press row rings at the end of practice. Kansas State's Megan Mahoney picks it up, has a conversation. Everyone keeps looking over, curious.

"Who was that?" they ask when she finally hangs up.

"I don't know," Mahoney said. "It was a wrong number."

K-State's coach Deb Patterson explains, "Mahoney could talk to a rock."

sw, Megan's play impressed me in the tournament. She's a better player than I realized.

KSU is going to be a very dominant team very soon.

I love watching her play....after that ?Nebraska game where she had her lip sewn up and came back to play, I have been really impressed with Mahoney.

Yes, that WAS impressive. She crashed face down into the floor, smashing her jaw, was helped off the court, and later returned. When asked after the game what had happened, she said something like, "Oh, it was nothing. It just needed a few stitches, that's all." Just as if she had stubbed her toe.

Bringing back memories of Erica Haugen breaking her nose trying to run through a screen vs. Texas. She had it set at halftime and was back on the bench for the second half, although she did sit out the rest of that game.
