The Cougs got knocked out this morning by KSTATE.

That's two Pac-12 down. Now I really have to root for Ariz and Oregon.  I wasn't all that surprised about WSU, but I had thought that Colorado was likely to win. Much as I dislike their style of play, I was rooting for them as a rep of the Pac-12.

Both CO and WSU were whistled for a lot of fouls in their games.  This might portend that the refs in the tourney are calling things tighter than we saw in the Pac-12.  Both the Buffs and the Cougs like to play physical.  This might help us if we play Texas and/or Maryland.

I don't think that's traditionally been the case. In the Kansas/GT game, they pretty much let everything go, but were quick to blow the whistle on blocks, clean or not.
