The scary thing is, when they are seeded that low, they usually go on a run and make the at least the elite 8. They rarely miss the sweet 16, but a couple of times they have been a lower seed and took it all the way to the elite 8.
I know they are going through their struggles, but they will get it figured it out and be a tough out come March.
You will have be excuse them. If they see anything other than "1. Kansas" in the bracket they assume it will be a team that won't get anywhere near the Final Four.
