re: the refs, talk on here about playing against the refs as well as against KU. The stats on fouls and shots show an even game, but I saw like many of you the few examples of things that have not been called, carrying, traveling, etc. that went against us but not them.
Let's say KU had an advantage that is not exactly measurable. How much better are we than KU on a neutral court with completely neutral refs?
Do we get an additional 5-7 points with completely neutral refs? Does the committee watch the games? If so, then we are claiming we are 25 points better than one of the top 4 teams in the country? Then the conversation in the committee would have to be, "Is Texas a fluke?" of course someone could point out that Texas beat KU twice in the last 8 days, then our record against top teams, etc.
Is there a case to be made to just swap us and KU? Wouldn't that be an easy fix for the committee?
As I finish this I realize there is no way anybody could expect the entire committee to watch all of the conference tourney games.
I don't expect anything but a 2 seed, but I could see this conversation possibly happening.
