Setting up the thread for all things NCAA tourney games not involving KU. Bod prediction: if WVU can beat Maryland, I believe they can beat Alaslammer in the 2nd round.

Mar 16, 2023 01:55 PM #2

Bama would put 90+ on WVU lol

Bama is weak. They crumple against physical teams. WVU will foul them 500 times. Miller's bodyguard won't intimidate them...

Mar 16, 2023 02:19 PM #7

WVU doesn't defend. Source: our suspect offense put up points on them every time. Brandon Miller is THAT dude. Roll tide.

OK, so call me crazy but here is one of my challenging piks - - I'm picking whe they match up and I think they WILL match up - I'm taking Arizona over Alabama - go ahead call me crazy but that's my pick

Small sample size, but ASU and Oregon's 24 and 25 points beat downs might suggest that the PAC-12 teams are better than assumed???

Mar 16, 2023 03:15 PM #12

Go B12 and B10

Not really sure but just think Arizona's overall size talent match's Alabama just think they get them

Maryland 4 points in over 8 minutes in of the game. Big 12 defense showing up

Mar 16, 2023 03:45 PM #19

I hate foul calls like that. WV guy perfect guarding position and MD guy bumps into him on shot and the foul on WV

Mar 16, 2023 04:13 PM #20

I looked one WV was up 11. Now Maryland up 2 at the half. Big swing

Mar 16, 2023 04:21 PM #21

How many Bama players at the scene of the killing? Maybe four. Not sure how Miller is still playing.

Mar 16, 2023 04:28 PM #22

WV has got to get Stephenson more involved in the offense

Mar 16, 2023 04:28 PM #23

Furman #4 son of HS classmate. Ben Vanderwal. Super nice kid.

Different leagues, but Ja Morant gets an 8 game suspension just for a video of him with a weapon, but an Alabama player who delivered a gun to a dispute that was used to murder a woman and its just play on in the SEC.

Mar 16, 2023 04:48 PM #25

WV on a nice little 13-0 run

Mar 16, 2023 05:51 PM #26

My 7 year old picked Furman. Lol his bracket could turn out better than mine! (he doesn’t watch sports at all)

Mar 16, 2023 05:53 PM #28

Can not describe how much joy this one is giving me. A real shame fraud Bennett frauded his way to a title.

Mar 16, 2023 05:54 PM #29

That would be meltdown city here. Only 1 seed to lose to a 16, now Furman. 😂

Mar 16, 2023 06:00 PM #30

Fwiw my kiddo doesn’t like Purdue either. Upset alert 🚨 😂

WVU didn’t rep the Big12 very well today. They blew several leads. 😢

Mar 16, 2023 06:34 PM #34

Missouri pulling away sadly.

Mar 16, 2023 07:08 PM #35

I want Tony Bennett no where near KU

His basketball philosophy is absolute trash. Limit possessions plays right into elevating a bad teams chances if they can just hit a few shots and you miss the few his team takes.

It’s literally any sport if you have the better athletes and players you want up and down the field/floors chiefs/hawks interchangeable

Same. I also like Oral Roberts. Not sold on Duke feasting off a weak ACC at all.

Mar 16, 2023 07:15 PM #38

I picked the Aztecs to make a run. That defense travels. Got Furman right. Having a good day so far

Mar 16, 2023 07:21 PM #39

@BShark shoot I had Duke final 4. They have the horses just took some time to gel. West region wide open ksu wouldn’t surprise me. Memphis over purdont

I got nc state, vcu as well

Mar 16, 2023 07:22 PM #40

@kuballin10 They are good, but so is Oral Roberts. Should be a fun game.

Mar 16, 2023 07:27 PM #41

People talking take Oral Roberts over Duke. - --Veteran team - they turn you over really good defensively- - I could see that happening - -They said also watch out for Drake over Miami

ORU can give Duke issues, but I think Duke is too much for them. I would've confidently picked ORU over any of the other 5 seeds except Duke.

Mar 16, 2023 07:55 PM #43

I’ve got dook. Want ORU to win sooooo bad. Just think their bigs are too much. I don’t love them to make a deep run because March is for guards and they’re…. Not great

Mar 16, 2023 07:56 PM #44

I've got Duke. I think they've gelled at the right time. Could still be a tight game.

Mar 16, 2023 09:21 PM #61

Mar 16, 2023 09:23 PM #62

@benshawks08 I think Bama can knock em off

Mar 16, 2023 09:33 PM #63

A good rule of thumb is to never pick pac 12 or big ten teams to win much. B10 hasn’t had a NC since 2000 and P12 since 1997

Mar 16, 2023 09:36 PM #64

If you picked off of KenPom you had a very bad day.

Mar 16, 2023 09:39 PM #65

Illinois made a run, but can't hit layups or freethrows. Put a fork in 'em.

Mar 16, 2023 09:40 PM #66

might have called that a little early... tbd

Very strong start by the SEC so far. While Alabama could have a cakewalk to the FF, we need to take care of business Saturday against one of the middling SEC teams (albeit loaded with NBA talent)...

Mar 16, 2023 09:52 PM #70

Got some possible bangers in the Primetime window

BIG had a champion in 2015 until Coach K called TO and huddled with officials instead of his team and suddenly a 10 point lead had disappeared.

Mar 16, 2023 10:23 PM #78

Almost 8 minutes to score. A good way to lose badly

Mar 17, 2023 01:18 AM #91

Northern Kentucky would be up 10 if they made an effort to rebound the ball.

Mar 17, 2023 01:18 AM #92

Good for Northwestern. 2nd win all time in NCAA games which just shows how blest we are to be Jayhawk fans.

Told my wife today since I enrolled in 1986 3 times we've not played past the first round, once of course we couldn't defend the title in 89, then the two killer B's in mid 2000's. 2nd round has been the round that has haunted us if there has been. Anyone remember Roy pulling out a stuffed monkey in 2001 and pulling it off his back to symbolize getting the monkey off his back after we got back to the sweet 16 after misses in 98,99, and 00?

I'm not totally confident for Saturday, although we should be able to handle Arkansas. They've had a fairly impressive season, but 4 quad 1 wins vs. 17 is a big difference. They only had 6 quad 1 games all season. In case you forgot we had 24! But they handled Illinois and I think Musselman is a pretty decent coach.

Mar 17, 2023 01:23 AM #93

Northern Kentucky looks like a solid team. I'm not crazy about the 30 foot shots, but they are hanging with the Cougers.

Mar 17, 2023 01:57 AM #94

Will be interesting here to see if Houston gets tight

Mar 17, 2023 02:05 AM #95

BIG fans have a lot of respect for Penn St. coach Shrewsberry. He's just a very down to earth, even keeled type, and even in defeat says the right things. I'm guessing he might get lured away from Happy Valley, because PSU fans are like SEC fans, they don't care about their basketball team all that much. Attendance is low there. Lots of empty seats behind baskets even when one of the bigger name teams is in town.

Mar 17, 2023 02:08 AM #96

GO NORSE

Mar 17, 2023 02:10 AM #97

GEAUX CAJUNS. 13-0 run to cut it to 5. Rick Barnes is Rick Barnesing

Mar 17, 2023 02:45 AM #99

Penn St. 11-15 3 pointers right now. One guy is not in a funk although his last name is Funk. He's 7-8 on 3's

Mar 17, 2023 08:24 AM #100

UVA and Zona lose. Not much else. Dook is still in, dang it. Hopefully 'Tucky loses today.

Mar 17, 2023 12:41 PM #105

Early release day today so we can finish 3rd quarter grades. Perfect timing to watch bball in my room til 3:10, (while, in case my boss sees this) working at completing all grades.

When you have no real accolades but are trying to sell a book.

Fran is one of the least friendly coaches out there. And hey look no one says you have to be friendly but he is one that can't even pretend to smile. Gregggg Marshall, Gard and Boeheim are also on that list in terms of guys I've ran into. Bruce honestly isn't a bad guy, just super awkward. Boynton at OSU is a good dude but I wonder if OSU will be running out of patience there.

ETA: I loved Roy too. Just consistently a good dude. Most of my interactions there were when I was a kid.

Mar 17, 2023 01:37 PM #107

If a game is going bad for Bama they can always put Miller's security guard in the game. What are the NCAA rules for open-carry in a game? lol

Mar 17, 2023 02:07 PM #108

@BShark Funny thing is I hated Madden as a coach. But his TV made him extremely likeable. I've never really met a D1 coach that I can think of. I did ask Larry Brown for a picture as he was sitting on a folding chair 2 hours before game time watching guys shoot. But didn't talk, really appeared to have no interest in talking.

Mar 17, 2023 02:15 PM #109

@wissox One of the best settings for it is the final four. Usually a lot of coaches hanging around.

Mar 17, 2023 03:31 PM #110

I actually think Fleck is probably a cool guy to hang around. By all accounts away from the court McCaffery is a very cheritable good guy who raises a lot of money for cancer research. But goodness on the court, there's hardly ever been anyone so unlikeable.

Mar 17, 2023 03:40 PM #111

Wow, I just learned that the kid who made the bad pass is the same kid who made a relatively famous pass in this game:

Mar 17, 2023 05:10 PM #112

Don't know whether Baylor will end up winning or not, but they look way over-seeded. UCSB actually looks like the better team at this point...

That was a wild loss. We proceeded to whip them without Norm and without Kevin the 2nd half of the big 12 tournament game.

I think they had Grill both regular season games against us? He was big for their spacing...

Iowa State I think still wins this, just ripped off a 17-4 run. TJ is a good coach, if they are within 6-8 at the break I wouldn’t count them out. They need a ton of open looks and haven’t gotten one call.

Mar 17, 2023 07:27 PM #135

I’m not sure I’ve seen a team go this ice cold at this level. The rebounding game is even ISU has half the turnovers as Pitt. They can’t make nothing, a layup, a wide open 3 or free throw.

This might be the most inept offensive showing in the history of the tourney. 11-54. 1-17 from 3. Under 50% on FTs. But they have 4 minutes to turn it around...

@BShark Yep if you told me Pitt scored 60-65 like they probably end up scoring I’d say ISU wins going away, also why I thought they were fine down 7 at the half figured the law of averages would kick in shooting wise.

Mar 17, 2023 08:57 PM #145

Isu gonna hold a team under 65 and still lose by 20.

Mar 17, 2023 08:58 PM #146

@benshawks08

OM freaking G. The gym in Ames may be burned down.

Mar 17, 2023 08:59 PM #147

Lowest points in a tournament game since 1944 is 51... ISU DESTROYED that record.

Mar 17, 2023 09:04 PM #148

Now the S in ISU will be known as ...?

Mar 17, 2023 09:04 PM #149

ISU made the same number of field goals as Pitt and lost by 18. ISU also took 19 more shots than Pitt. Pitt took the same number of shots as ISU had points.

How bad was ISU's offense today!?!? You only let a team take 41 shots for the game, hold them to 34% from the field and lose by 18!!!

Mar 17, 2023 09:05 PM #150

I'd hate to run the suicide hotline in Ames today...

I assume that's just an ISU record and not NCAA record because there's been many teams to be held below 51 in an NCAA Tournament game since then.

Mar 17, 2023 09:07 PM #152

We complain about our bench production (or lack thereof) - ISU's was 0-10, but contributed 5 TOs and 10 fouls...

Mar 17, 2023 09:10 PM #153

Switched to the UConn game. Just counted 13 seconds in the lane for the big man sonogo on UConn. Ended with him getting an offensive rebound and put back plus a foul for a 3 point play. That should be reviewable in my opinion.

Mar 17, 2023 09:16 PM #154

So, the B12 is just 3-2 right now. SEC, B10 and Big East all have much better showings so far... We'll see what the evening session brings...

Mar 17, 2023 09:24 PM #155

@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah bad tweet from someone, I should have researched it myself first, you are correct.

I’m not sure I’ve seen a team go this ice cold at this level. The rebounding game is even ISU has half the turnovers as Pitt. They can’t make nothing, a layup, a wide open 3 or free throw.

This might be the most inept offensive showing in the history of the tourney. 11-54. 1-17 from 3. Under 50% on FTs. But they have 4 minutes to turn it around...

The craziest part is that Pitt has been a bad defensive team this year.

Clones started the 2nd half 2 for 23. Recipe for a trip home.

Iowa State plays ugly ugly ball last couple of years they have really struggled scoring. They just embarrassed themselves today

Iona had a good half UConn is just too athletic

Mar 17, 2023 09:52 PM #159

Folks over at phog.net are pissing themselves over UConn lol. It’s too early to worry about that. I guess I’m much more concerned with HOW we play rather than WHO we play. They ain’t gonna keep up with us if we make it a full court game, like what Coach Roberts was talking about the other day. Apparently many have yet to learn that shooting, speed and defense wins games in March, not who has the biggest team.

Mar 17, 2023 10:20 PM #160

According to the Phog we’re a second round exit every year lol

Mar 17, 2023 10:40 PM #161

I'm SO HERE for Matt Painter struggling with a 16 seed btw.

Mar 17, 2023 10:44 PM #164

FDU with a 1 point lead at the half, their press is buggin Purdue. I remember someone saying the couldn’t handle a press (me) lol. I doubt they can duplicate it in half 2 but I hope they do.

Mar 17, 2023 10:45 PM #165

Purdue trailing by 1 at halftime. Do they keep playing tight being behind or can they overcome that and put FDU away.

Mar 17, 2023 10:45 PM #166

Also YouTube TV's 4 way split screen is awesome for watching all games at once!!!

Mar 17, 2023 10:48 PM #167

Well in this opening round we have had 3 wedge's -& now ! where the ball just flat sits on top of the bracket-- -crazy

Mar 17, 2023 10:53 PM #168

Oscar with 13 rebounds all ready still 1st half. Remember his year at WV with Huggie ? - -there was Oscar and then another big boy at the same time , could of been quite a duo

Mar 17, 2023 10:58 PM #169

Mar 17, 2023 11:33 PM #174

Lets goooooooo FDU! Up by 2

Mar 17, 2023 11:34 PM #175

FDU up 2 w/ 8 to go. Wow

Mar 17, 2023 11:34 PM #176

Pressure building on Purdue boy if that 3 went down.

Oscar with 17 rebounds with almost a half to go lol

Mar 17, 2023 11:36 PM #179

This FDU game is must watch. Playing with joy, so many clutch plays

Mar 17, 2023 11:38 PM #180

@Texas-Hawk-10 game changer for real. Love how it’s so seamless to go from game to game full screen if one is getting especially good

The longer this goes the tighter Purdue’s butts are getting

Mar 17, 2023 11:39 PM #181

@FarmerJayhawk you know how this is probably going to end though. Still, fun to watch

Mar 17, 2023 11:43 PM #182

@DanR with a historic upset?

Mar 17, 2023 11:43 PM #183

@DanR seriously!

Mar 17, 2023 11:45 PM #185

Edey looks like a stone statue, getting out rebounded by guys a foot shorter. This is hilarious.

Mar 17, 2023 11:46 PM #186

I love how the announcers are like Purdue not hitting 3s 4/22 FDU missed a ton of open ones too they are 6/24 so not any better.

@BShark it’s sad that it took a short team to scout how to playa against Purdue.

Purdue has the fear in them. No one wants to even shoot right now...

Mar 17, 2023 11:59 PM #213

Told you all I didn’t see anything great about Purdue months ago. Wouldn’t have predicted they’d lose to the 16 seed tho

Mar 18, 2023 12:01 AM #214

I didn’t think I’d like the NBA challenge rule. But it helps in situations like this where the call should have been a foul. And because it wasn’t, the wrong team ends up with the ball.

Mar 18, 2023 12:02 AM #215

It's Purdue ball and there should be 30.0 seconds left.

Mar 18, 2023 12:03 AM #216

Providence not going away either

Mar 18, 2023 12:03 AM #217

Make up no call for missing the foul on the out of bounds play.

Mar 18, 2023 12:04 AM #218

That block was clean they called a foul on Purdue.

Mar 18, 2023 12:27 AM #271

Matt Painter is easily the dumbest coach ever to coach in D1.

He lit up FDU when he said it was disrespectful that they said they could beat them. How dumb. So he insinuated there was no chance for FDU to win.

He should be fired. If I was a Purdue fan I would want his head on a block.

But I'm not.... so instead I say "YIPPEEEEEEEE!"

Mar 18, 2023 12:27 AM #272

@Crimsonorblue22 I agree but they missed an obvious flagrant for hooking and a foul on that out of bounds call late

TCU is not used to playing against vaporware defense (ASU). They are literally pausing before taking open shots. This should be a blowout unless Bobby Hurley has some magical spell to make his team play D.

Edit: Nevermind

Mar 18, 2023 02:05 AM #299

Memphis with a ridiculously stupid dead ball tech. Lol Penny

Mar 18, 2023 02:10 AM #300

TCU got a break possibly thought they were in trouble - - looked like Miles really hurt himself on that flush

Mar 18, 2023 02:12 AM #301

ASU with the 59/60/75 shooting splits at half

Mar 18, 2023 02:29 AM #302

Mar 18, 2023 02:45 AM #304

TCU better wake up

Mar 18, 2023 02:48 AM #305

Read thru the comments. Was watching, but kids were over tonight so no chatting. If KU doesn't win, I'd rather see a BIG team win the whole thing (except Iowa of course). Brutal. I'm speechless. My best friend from HS is a Purdue grad and I've always liked them to a degree. Not enough for this loss to sting thankfully. What an embarrassment. FDU seemed to have a plan to try to knock the ball out of Purdues hands as often as possible. Really shocking how much they controlled possession in this game when balls were up for grabs.

Mar 18, 2023 03:00 AM #306

OWLS!!!

Mar 18, 2023 03:01 AM #307

How much longer will Penny be coaching Memphis at this point?

Mar 18, 2023 03:02 AM #308

I thought Memphis would go far since they just beat Houston w/out sasser.

Mar 18, 2023 03:04 AM #309

Appreciate your conference loyalty, @wissox. I don't have it. Not for the B12 either. I grew up an Illinois fan and I left that state and conference in 1984 despising several teams and coaches in the big 10 to this day. Bobby Knight, Gene Keady, Lute Olson, George Sweatsuit Raveling. Wisky was cellar dweller at that time with Yoder if I recall. I guess I could root for Northwestern.

The West region went chalk for all 8 first round games.

The South region went chalk for 6/8 games. Furman and Princeton were the two upsets.

The East region also went chalk for 6/8 with FDU and FAU being the two upsets.

The Midwest region went chalk for 5/8 games assuming Indiana finishes the game. Thise upsets were Auburn, Penn St., and Pitt.

Great write-up on FDU-Purdue, by Myron Medcalf of ESPN:

Don't try to figure this out. Don't search for anything that predicted this. Nothing predicted this. Prior to its 63-58 win over Purdue -- just the second time a 16-seed has won a game in men's NCAA tournament history -- FDU was 298th on KenPom. 298th. This is a team that had 12 -- 12! -- losses to sub-200 KenPom teams. This is a team that shouldn't even be in the tournament.

And then, the most amazing upset in NCAA history happened. (Sorry, UMBC.) Zach Edey finished 7-for-11 with 21 points. But Tobin Anderson strategized to limit the projected Wooden Award winner's touches by sending every person who had ever attended FDU at the 7-foot-4 star. The rest of Purdue's team finished 12-for-42. The gamble worked, and now Sean Moore (19 points) and the Knights will be legends forever.

Mar 18, 2023 01:16 PM #362

@Texas-Hawk-10 Really hoping for a Pitt-Penn St 3rd round game. I enjoy seeing matchups like that. I have a lot of Pennsylvania connections in the Pittsburgh area so it'll be fun if it happens. Pitt surprised me yesterday. I wasn't able to watch but kept looking at the score in utter amazement.

Honestly, I'm surprised Duke isn't a bigger favorite considering Tennessee is missing their PG. Duke has also been playing really good basketball for the last month and is much better than the team KU played in November, just like Tennessee is nowhere near as good as when KU played them.

Charles Barkley said it right yesterday when commenting about the Purdue loss. Teams have to have a Plan B... probably even a Plan C. When your stuff isn't working, you have to have an answer.

I'm curious what our Plan B is? I think it could be the half-court press and hope we are working on it daily.

@drgnslayr We’re on plan D! Very little bench to lean on. No head coach. Yikes!!! For the positive spin - Bill was able to implement his game plan during practice. Bill has them tuned up.

Duke has 5 freshmen in their rotation. When was the last time a team that was that dependent on freshmen won a title? The transfer portal era has shown that you need experience to win a national title. Experience matters and Duke doesn't have it.

These guys are still freshmen and have never experienced the pressure of the NCAA Tournament. Even with an experienced PG, that doesn't change that 5 of Duke's 9 rotation players are freshmen and freshmen heavy teams very rarely cut the nets down. I haven't said they can't make the Final Four, Marquette is their only major challenge at this point assuming they get past today, but then they run into teams that have made a lot of deep runs in recent history. We also have no clue how Scheyer will handle the spotlight as a head coach yet.

Mar 18, 2023 05:52 PM #383

The key is Tennessee’s defense, they are 21-0 when holding teams to less than 60. But their offense has looked bad since Ziegler got hurt. I think Duke is playing well and has a good road would be shocked if they don’t make the FF

Honestly, I’m surprised Duke isn’t a bigger favorite considering Tennessee is missing their PG. Duke has also been playing really good basketball for the last month and is much better than the team KU played in November, just like Tennessee is nowhere near as good as when KU played them.

I believe Duke is going to blow out Tenn today and clearly put themselves on the map as a tournament favorite. I hope I'm wrong and I hope I jinx them!

There's still a few teams I'd have over Duke at this point.

Duke is looking really - -really good. - They are finally all healthy, - got a human eraser in Lively , - Felip -a 7 footer that can drain 3's rebounds well - -they playing really good defense - -just think they are becoming a very complee athletic team - -athletic as all get out

I'm aware of all that. They're also a young team and youth hasn't won a title in awhile. I wouldn't be shocked if they make the Final Four, but that doesn't change that there's still 3-4 teams I'd still take over Duke in the late rounds. I would still take Alabama, Houston, KU, and UCLA over Duke today.

And your entitled to do that. Doesn't mean Duke can't win it - -I'll take Duke over Alabama all day long - -every day. I am not impressed with Alabama period they have escaped so many defeats this year, They was mentioning today they thought Alabama very well might get beat today -I'll take Duke over Houston. Houston has no answre for Duke size and athletism . Duke will match Alabama player for player all day long - -depth - Ya thanks I'll take Duke over those two anytime , anywhere

Duke has 5 freshmen in their rotation. When was the last time a team that was that dependent on freshmen won a title? The transfer portal era has shown that you need experience to win a national title. Experience matters and Duke doesn't have it.

Jeremy Roach plays a VERY BIG part in their rotation- -one of their most important players. - And like Coach self would tell you himself. These guys are not Freshmen anymore, can't be considered Freshmen any longer. - -Roach gives them experience - easy path to the final four. - -Will they win it ? - -who knows- but they have just a good as shot as Alabama - talent takes you a long ways

These guys are still freshmen and have never experienced the pressure of the NCAA Tournament. Even with an experienced PG, that doesn't change that 5 of Duke's 9 rotation players are freshmen and freshmen heavy teams very rarely cut the nets down. I haven't said they can't make the Final Four, Marquette is their only major challenge at this point assuming they get past today, but then they run into teams that have made a lot of deep runs in recent history. We also have no clue how Scheyer will handle the spotlight as a head coach yet.

I also haven't said that Duke WILL WIN the national championship, but they are a very really bad match up nightmare for any team - -ANY TEAM. - -Lively inside Felip , Proctor - -Whitehead - -Roach - that big brusier they bring off the Bench - -not a Freshman - portal you talk about. - they match up really well with anybody - the question is - who matchs up with them really well. - Don't ssay Kentucky because Kentucky IS NOT makig the final four. - -Your entitled to your opinion and to some I don't disagtee, just as well as I'm entitled to mine, and nothing gonna change that either.I think they have just a good as chance now if not more to win it all with whats went down. - I don't see anybody matching up- they gonna give anybody hell on the defensive end - been playing really good defense - -my opinion - -your opinion it's all good

Mar 18, 2023 06:00 PM #385

Duke flopping like crazy

Mar 18, 2023 06:04 PM #386

Well I guess that's one way of Matchig up with Duke- - grab your helments - lmao - - the guy just leveled him to get his 2nd foul you watch that replay - - -THAT was NO FLOP - he got LEVELED great football block

Mar 18, 2023 06:05 PM #387

@jayballer67 the first one without question a flop, the second one he at least touched him but definitely acting involved IMO.

I feel like Tennessee has the right game plan but can they do it for another half? I don’t see Duke only scoring 21 points in the second half. This game is a race to 60.

Actually the big12 not showing up great here so far. Idk if we just beat each other up too bad or if it's just smoke in mirrors. I hate when they yammer all year about how great the league is.... are you basing that on the first 10 games of a 35 games season?

Mar 19, 2023 01:04 AM #431

@cragarhawk I think the Big 12 was all varying degrees of mediocre. Everyone is pretty flawed.

Mar 19, 2023 01:05 AM #432

@cragarhawk I think we do beat up on each other!

Mar 19, 2023 01:06 AM #433

@FarmerJayhawk if a big12 team makes the title game or something some will say it wasn't BS.. the tourney is a crapshoot, etc. But imo you need to get more teams to the second weekend and the last honestly to proclaim "best league ever, hands down"

Not in locker room after game. Probably taking the loss for that stupid not a 10 sec call!

Mar 19, 2023 01:13 AM #437

@Crimsonorblue22 sometimes the ones it hurts the hardest come back and give you the most. Jaun is class. Jaun is KU.

Mar 19, 2023 01:30 AM #438

That one 10 second call was huge and costly but when you lose by a single point. I could list 20 plays right now that would have won it for us. That’s just how close games go and it’s tough to swallow. It’s much easier to lose by 20 knowing it just wasn’t your night/ played a better team or something.

Mar 19, 2023 08:57 AM #439

@Crimsonorblue22

And those missed free throws

Mar 19, 2023 12:11 PM #440

While I won’t watch any more basketball this season, I’m rooting for Alabama. I want the NCAA to have to smile, about a kid who assisted in the murder of an innocent gal, winning it all. If there ever was a time for leadership to step in this would’ve been it. But they’re more worried about kids getting paid 6 years ago.

Our starters were stars. We will see who goes and who comes in.and if anyone thinks it's just about the money well this is American capitalism where we pay a lot for a little so hell yes it's about the money and how much. The players and families will get a lot of information to decide for themselves.
Hope that everything works out well for them and so forth. Not to mention Bill Self's decision which is the biggest thing right now.

Mar 19, 2023 04:05 PM #444

Gradey didn’t take any kind of role yesterday, given his time on the court. 7 pts, 1/3 on 3’s. He could have done better in the biggest game of his life… oh, well. Next man up.

Like Coach Roberts said. Teams grew how they had to play Grady - they blanketed him making him a priority - forcing Ku to make some one else score besides Grady & Jalen - -a lot of Face Guarding made it pretty hard on him. - I don't have any complaints with Grady - big games in a lot of games this year

Watching this st Mary’s vs UConn makes me want to puke. We can’t beat either of those and ucla or zags….we can beat anyone but maybe Bama and houston in this tourney. If those two don’t win it…that’s gonna suck

Mar 19, 2023 10:04 PM #471

And if Bama wins it, that's going to suck as well (because I hate the SEC.)

So maybe I'm rooting for Houston, in a very conflicted way? I guess that would sort of keep the B12 streak of champions going since Houston is joining next year.

Mar 19, 2023 10:08 PM #472

@bskeet I’m 100% cheering for Houston or IU (good friend is from IU and they haven’t been relevant in years - he hates sampson said his cheating decimated their program for 3-5 years). Odd teams to cheer for lol with sampson at houston. Go future big 12

Mar 20, 2023 03:37 PM #476

Can't decide if I'd rather Texas win it as kudos to the strong big 12 this year or Houston so that we can still say all of the recent champs are in the big 12 next year. (Is Texas officially out of the big12 for basketball next year? I know they are still in for football.)

Mar 20, 2023 04:07 PM #477

Of the teams left who I'd be ok with them winning it'd be Texas, Silo Tech, Tennessee, Gonzaga, MSU, Arkansas (it's always better to say we got knocked out by the eventual champion), FAU, Princeton would be the coolest! Creighton

Teams who I loathe the idea of winning it. Alabama, UConn, Xavier,

Teams I'd be meh about winning UCLA, SD State, Miami

NIT team I'd be cool with winning: Wisconsin!

Mar 20, 2023 04:38 PM #478

For me, I'm rooting for the Big 12 teams plus Houston to go as far as possible. However, maybe not KSU to win it all because we'd never hear the end of it.

Other teams I'm rooting for as second options: Princeton, Tennessee, Michigan State (like their coach), Miami (like their coach), Arkansas (i like the players, definitely not the shirtless coach).

Teams I am rooting hard against: UCLA (screw the PAC), Gonzaga (just because), Alabama (Thugs), FAU (tasteless play at the end of last game)

Mar 24, 2023 12:34 AM #509

I’d say the people cheering for KSU don’t live in this state or outside of the Lawrence area. I’d consider getting my armed chopped off rather than listen to them goons yap for the next 50 plus years about that one time they made the final four.

Mar 24, 2023 12:57 AM #510

Arkansas reverted to the mean and the game was called differently from the 2nd round and they were demolished. KU might have lost, but at least there would have been a TV audience in the 2nd half. Way to go NCAA.

UConn looked legit but that statement is made with an asterisk because they were playing…Arkansas.

The three teams left in the west are good enough to be in the FF.

Mar 24, 2023 12:58 AM #511

@kjayhawks They have made F4 four times. Last was 1964. Only champ game they lost to UK in 1951.

Let 'em talk if they get there and especially if they win it all. Then ask them to count theirs while you count ours.

Mar 24, 2023 01:01 AM #512

@BShark yea no thanks. Can't stand KSU fans even slightly.

Mar 24, 2023 01:03 AM #513

I've already heard it from ksu fans/hs kids, mon. One grabbed my KU 22 nat champs insulated cup and said I should probably toss it since it wasn't any good anymore!

Totally agree. Good for the conference, good for Kansas (the state). KSU will always have an inferiority complex, and understandably so, but give them their moment in the klieg lights.

And it was one helluva game and Nowell was otherworldly...

State of Kansas back to back would be amazing. I don't think it happens. Who knows though, maybe Alabama loses early.

I'm happy for the kstate fans who are legit happy about their team. The ones still measuring their success against KU are just dipshits.

I also figure the more success they have with this one decent shot, the better chance Tang gets out of that hell hole for a better gig.

(Edited to add, that I actually like Manhattan, the town, and KSU is a good school. If I had my choice of vets it'd be from KSU over Mizzou)

I had Duke beating tn just because of their pg

Wish I’d researched fau more…quick athletic 6-4/6-5 guards who can shoot the three (6th most in ncaa) - it’s like Baylor during 2012

Ucla 48 points to now 14 points this half

@Jethro When he was at Cincy, the whole Xavier and Cincy rivalry was ugly and nasty. I tire of coaches that allow their teams to play with a scowl on their face and make it their hallmark. Cronin and Mack seemed to have a sideshow every time they played.

I mean everyone if they are alive knows the details on this - -no charges are brought on Miller he is considered a witness - -let the kid play, it will all come out in the end if it's different- it will work it'self out just didn't think it needed to be brought up AGAIN right now

Not everybody pays attention to that stuff. I don't think you realize how little some people pay attention to stuff like and are completely unaware or don't know the details of what's happening with with Miller. It's also not anything new. Remember back in 2012 when T-Rob's mom died? That was mentioned every KU game along with the fundraiser for his younger sister.

Mar 24, 2023 10:20 PM #563

I enjoy watching SD State. Nothing but respect for that program. Bad offense, but love their defense. I wouldn't be opposed to them joining the B12.

But their handling of the Miller situation was horrible, even if technically they did nothing wrong, the optics of it was as low as I've ever seen a team go. Good riddance, hope your sorry team fades into obscurity playing in front of 5000 fans for now and eternity.

Have you ever been to Alabama? Met any law enforcement from the area? Aware of how big of a presence the Alabama athletics program has in the community? It was most definitely a factor.

Jim Larranaga looking good for back to back Elite 8's.

Houston's weak schedule being exposed as a fraudulent 1 seed.

Go Princeton Tigers! There wouldn't be one American other than the team they're playing cheering against Princeton should they continue this run.

The people who get paid with big ratings for the NCAA tournament are maybe getting a little nervous. While it's fun to see the underdogs, they're almost never ratings powerhouses because the casual observer will tune in for a blue blood FF like last year but won't tune in as much for FAU or SD State, or Princeton, or Xavier or even Kstate. Gonzaga will draw eyeballs but they have a tough draw tomorrow.

@cragarhawk The possibility of a KState final is certainly possible at this point.

I'm still amazed at that no defense KSU-MSU game.

John Higgins I just saw reffing a sweet 16 game it looked like.

Mar 25, 2023 12:21 AM #634

Texas or Xavier tonight ?

Mar 25, 2023 12:24 AM #636

@wissox I actually don't mind it with KSU. Duke was never Duke without UNC. And vise versa... the basketball world simply can't handle a KU that has had to deal with a Mancraptown champion. Or maybe even Final 4. That said... I'm low key on the Blue Jay bandwagon as my daughter is currently 2/3 of the way to getting her Doctorate there

The tournament has been very chaotic which is fitting for this year.

And idk...Big 12 has multiple champions in a row and had the best team in the country in 2020. I don't think it's a huge indictment if neither team makes the FF but I suspect KSU will at the very least. Texas has a much harder go of it.

@BShark I see your point. But also... talking heads all on the 12 band wagon this year saying best overall league in maybe the last 20 years. Tough to get there with ACC tourney success as soon as last year without getting at least 1 if not 2 to the final weekend imo

Mar 25, 2023 12:34 AM #644

I think the Big 12 was probably the toughest league but that was...a bit overblown.

The non-conference games to start the season matter as well. The tournament is a poor judge due to its nature, which massively benefited us last year as I don't think it was one of Self's top 5 teams at KU.

Houston lost for two reasons. They play the same style as Virginia, very slow tempo, low possession games and Marcus Sasser has been less than 100% this tournament. With the extreme slow tempo, when they have an off night, it can do downhill really quickly for them the way it did for Virginia 5 years ago.

Mar 25, 2023 02:11 AM #668

Changing the subject. Rory hit a driver 346 carry that rolled to a 375 yard pin yesterday left him with a 5 footer which was conceded as it was matchplay. Incredible. Announcer called it maybe the greatest drive in the history of golf.

Mar 25, 2023 02:30 AM #670

If Miami gets both teams in the Final Four, would they be the second school to get both basketball teams to the Final Four the same season? I know UConn has done it 3 times with both winning it all in 2004 and 2014, but is there another school that's done it besides UConn?

I doubt there's many accurate title game picks from the left side (South and East) of the bracket. There's probably a lot of brackets that have some combination of Texas, Gonzaga, and UConn from the right side (Midwest and West) of the bracket.

Texas makes their coaching decisions with input from outside of the athletic department. Never quite sure of the results. Sometimes it seems they reach for a reason to hire or fire.

Mar 25, 2023 01:16 PM #683

@Jethro @BShark there have been documented shady dealings in college basketball since the 1951 CCNY team. The difference is players getting paid, shaving points and academic corruption. I’m glad Bama is out but comparing such to someone being murdered is apples to oranges to the aforementioned stuff.

Mar 25, 2023 06:50 PM #684

@kjayhawks I think it goes back to before 1951. I have it on good authority that James Naismith changed an F to a D so one of his players could be eligible on his first KU team.

@BShark really think the strategy was to work the foul count on that one. When FAU got into the double bonus with having only 3 or four fouls the other way, KSU turned up the physicality daring the refs to make FAU shoot free throws every possession for 10 minutes in a half.

Entertaining game. Sorry guys and gals, kick me out of the club, I'm pulling for, cough, cough, silo tech. Coach Tang has got me, and goodness, Nowell became a star overnight and he's really dynamic.

The 3 pointer he got fouled on was so savvy. FAU guy reaching in so Nowell decides to go up and shoot knowing his arm is going to get hit.

But Nowell needs to pass more sometimes too. Last drive before the half here evidence. 5'8" guy against a footer rarely goes in the favor of the 5'8" guy.

@Crimsonorblue22 He's become a household name relatively in this NY tournament he's playing. People are talking about him among my friends and family. I wasn't really aware of him before this weekend.

I don't think Creighton is considered a mid major anymore since they moved to the Big East.

I'm sure they will still need to make a sweet E8 DVD and are now the new dominant power in the big12 tho... 🙄

Mar 25, 2023 11:55 PM #754

It’s funny to me because KU chokes every year according to them. 2018 they lost to an 11 seed in the E8 and now this year a 9 seed. If the roles were reversed they’d be blowing up the twitter and Facebook feeds talking smack.

Mar 26, 2023 12:02 AM #755

@kjayhawks I tried to take bets on if KSU won tonight the celebrators in Manhattan would eventually chant you-know-what.

As always, I start going down the stat rabbit hole when you surface a tidbit like this.

Looks like KU is 16-7 if I read Wikipedia correctly. 10-6 since the tourney went to 64 teams in 1985. Bill is 4-5, Roy 4-1, Larry 2-0.

Mar 26, 2023 01:30 AM #765

@mayjay the E8 game is the only round Self has a losing record in as KU coach. I think it’s one of the hardest games to win between a short turnaround and you know you’re playing a good team regardless of seed. If a team can make the elite 8 they can make the FF. Sadly the round of 32 is Selfs second worse win % getting dangerously close to .500. BS now has 8 first weekend losses as our head coach, which to be honest is ok if we get a few more titles I can live with.

Mar 26, 2023 01:31 AM #766

I think I wouldn’t mind see Mark Few steal a title here. Doesn’t look good for them currently but I think he deserves one.

Mar 26, 2023 01:37 AM #767

This UCONN team looks unstoppable. I would rather anyone but UConn win the title this year. It’s mind boggling that they have the same number of titles as Kansas with absolutely no consistency as a program. They just show up every few years and win the whole darn thing. Somebody needs to do a statistical analysis of their program. Don’t think there is any other team in any sports with this type of inconsistency and titles. The standard deviation is off the charts.
Can’t stomach them having 5 titles in 24 years to our 4 in 70+ years!

Mar 26, 2023 01:49 AM #768

Did anybody see that painting? That looked worse than a 5 yr old!

I would've loved to have seen what Self would've come up with against UConn. Their 3 point shooting is what's carried them more than anything else this tournament. I still think our defense would've been able to give UConn major issues.

Mar 26, 2023 02:04 AM #772

They said coming in UConn had the largest margin of victory in tournament history at 21 ppg, that looks to go up even more. They haven’t even been challenged at this point.

Mar 26, 2023 02:44 AM #773

I’m actually glad we didn’t play UConn. I think it would have been a USC type of an ending to the season.

Mar 26, 2023 02:45 AM #774

@kjayhawks Huskies looked so good first 15 games of the season. I thought they were unbeatable then. Then got into conf play and obviously didn't look as stout alot of the time. Back to looking great so far this tourney. Probably gonna be tough to beat.

Hard to believe these two teams are playing for the right to meet Florida Atlantic in the Final four.

Rooting for San Diego I like Dutcher, think he is an underrated coach and Fisher was out there as well.

Mar 26, 2023 07:01 PM #778

SDS is definitely the stronger team - Creighton has had big trouble corralling rebounds that they get their hands on. Kalkbrenner definitely has fight in him but isn't strong enough to finish through or over the SDS bigs...

Mar 26, 2023 07:31 PM #779

This game is going to end on a foul call. I'm sure Creighton's fans will have nothing to say about that.

Mar 26, 2023 07:48 PM #780

If I read it right, 7/9 SDSU players (who had minutes today) are seniors. The other two are juniors.

Mar 26, 2023 08:41 PM #782

Why is it that we didn't match up with TX because they are so long and athletic, and yet Miami seems to be able to attack that length and athleticism pretty easily??? A lot of easy buckets in the paint...

It's San Diego St., they play a very slow tempo, very physical style of basketball. They've never been a fun team to watch under Fisher or Dutcher.

Mar 26, 2023 09:19 PM #784

All you all said Texas ain’t legit and they play KU well but didn’t win big 12

Can you imagine us without Jalen getting to a final 4? They lost disu and have a great chance to win this one

Carr, Hunter and Rice - all can drive, shoot the 3 and defense

Look at FAU all 6-4/5 and under for their guards. Can all defend, get to the paint off the bounce and shoot.

Got 7-1 stiff and they are in the final four much like Baylor a few years back

4 smaller guards means less turnovers, more shots and playmaking. They attack the glass when the 7-1 guy doesn’t clean up and clearly not having 6-7-6-8 guys at the wings doesn’t matter

Mar 26, 2023 09:22 PM #785

@kuballin10 We didn't have enough guys this year. That's what it boiled down to. Failure to develop for Zach and Bob was a killer. Last year we were a legit 7-8 deep.

Mar 26, 2023 09:58 PM #786

@kuballin10 Go join Longhornbuckets then

Mar 26, 2023 10:00 PM #787

@BShark we don’t have an athlete like Mitchell wow

Allen is a turd can’t stand him or his brother

I agree if we just had a halfway decent bench we’d been tough to beat. Udeh didn’t develop quick enough, Bob and Zach were just recruiting whiffs

Truly a special offense from this Miami team. 4 guys at or above 38% from three on the year. Would love to see KU with that kind of shooting. Probably only get to 2-3 guys in that range next year, taken from the portal.

And yeah, Miami was right there with us last year. Then we went on a banana land heater and the Miami players were SHOOK, basically quit running Jim's sets.

When Miami's big guy went out with 4 fouls. The were able to really disrupt UT's offense. They were never able to run a set and it took them out of their rhythm and they never got it back. This was actually a pretty entertaining game. Alot of fouls though

Mar 26, 2023 11:06 PM #811

@BShark I think KU having a core of guys that had been around for 3-4 years or 6 lol with Mitch was huge. David and Jwil were the lone top 50 recruits on that team.

Mar 26, 2023 11:12 PM #814

@BShark experience pays off I think, a ton of upperclassmen on these final four teams. This year I think our starting 5 was good enough at times to make it but the bench was just full of swings and misses unfortunately.

Mar 27, 2023 12:29 AM #815

Maybe we should have anticipated this year's chaos given that the NCAA granted an extra year due to COVID two years ago... It made the mid majors older and more experienced. The majors still recruited top talent and even some transfers, but the teams that kept the core group, doubled-down on chemistry, and gained a year of experience were able to neutralize some of the powerhouses despite the raw talent differential... Does that make sense?

Mar 27, 2023 12:31 AM #816

This years final four looks like a crappy preseason tournament that no one in their right mind would attend

Mar 27, 2023 01:28 AM #817

@dylans Except that is a pretty absurd prejudice to have considering how exciting all these games have been. F4 should be a blast

Mar 27, 2023 01:48 AM #818

@cragarhawk I hope they steal Tang away from KSU lol.

But my guess is they just keep Terry. Sort of makes sense for everyone. He did a good job. Low risk move for the AD. Keeps the roster as in tact as possible (though I think they'll still lose 6+ guys). Keeps the five star guys going to UT I think. I'm sure they'll get some guys in the portal who can play.

But again, I hope they call Tang with a blank checkbook.

Finally, super super super unlikely scenario I want to throw out. But Calipari to UT after a negotiated buyout with UK for everyone to move on. Cal brings his superstar class with him to Texas. Kentucky starts a new era after getting Nate Oats or Scot Drew or Jerome Tang or someone like that. This only happens if UT wants to do something stupid and splashy. So not entirely impossible lol.

Mar 27, 2023 03:18 AM #820

@Kcmatt7 - Apparently UT has hired Rodney Terry for their coach. Thoughts?f

Mar 27, 2023 03:46 AM #821

@Gorilla72 I think the AD is a smart man lol. Low risk hire. If Rodney doesn’t work out it’s fine because “he earned it.”

From a purely basketball standpoint I think Terry was coaching one of the oldest teams in basketball. You could roll the ball out with that group and they’d win 20 games with no coach. I’m not sure this is a good evaluation of his talent.

Will be interesting to see if he can do it again next season.

Mar 27, 2023 03:53 AM #822

@mayjay Yes I’m prejudiced. If it’s not KU basketball, to hell with it!

I don’t watch very many basketball games that don’t involve KU. I figure there are only so many hours I get to live, KU gets 99% of my basketball hours. The chiefs get 99% of my football viewership. I only have so many hours available to use on entertainment, I’m not wasting any on something I draw no enjoyment from. - I’ve only watched 2 tournament games this year. Some people live and breathe basketball, I live and breathe KU basketball.

Mar 27, 2023 08:30 AM #823

@Kcmatt7

Losing a ton too. He will have to prove it again but he certainly earned it after the season they had

@dylans You are my twin.

Mar 27, 2023 12:26 PM #828

@Kcmatt7 I'm definitely in the anyone but UConn camp right now. Kinda want FAU to win just because.

@BShark I wonder if the Terry hire is as much a push as anything. Like are there any real splashy hires out there right now? Who could Texas get right now that would be really good? Maybe their guy just isn't out there right now so might as well keep this rolling and take the good PR while still keeping an eye out for the next guy. Give Terry two years and see what happens. Maybe the coaching market will have a few more superstar hires out there by then.

Mar 27, 2023 12:51 PM #829

@benshawks08 Without having any real knowledge of the situation, I assume you're right. They likely called around about guys they were interested in. My assumption is that the price to get "their" guys made it a high risk hire, and when you have a freebie hire right in front of you, you don't make a high-risk hire.

This was a job security hire from the AD. Which is fine. Everyone else on this board would probably make that same decision in that situation.

Mar 27, 2023 12:56 PM #830

@benshawks08 I mean they could do worse. Terry beat KU twice, Beard has 3 wins against KU in 5 years. I wouldn’t be over the moon about this hire as Texas, but it could work out. I’d take Rodney over Norm any day of the week, but thankfully KU is not likely hire from within.

Mar 27, 2023 01:00 PM #831

I probably won't watch much. Like others, not seeing UConn win another would be nice.

Uconn probably feels neglected by media as well. They will probably win their 5th NC this next weekend, all since 1999. But you don't hear the name UConn too often.

If I had to pick a team I'd pick Miami as I have really grown to appreciate Jim Larranaga as a coach. He made his mark with George Mason, ironically by beating UConn in 2004.

Speaking of Miami, 2 teams, 50 miles apart in a non-basketball hotbed is pretty remarkable for that city.

Speaking of Miami, I'll be there for a beach vacation a few days after the FF!

Mar 27, 2023 01:09 PM #832

@BShark I get the argument of "what more could he have done to get the job?" So I understand both sides of it.

The KU fan in me thinks the Texas job is a great job and every year you have a mediocre coach leading that program is a missed opportunity. There is really no reason UT isn't competing for a national title every few years. So to me you better think Terry is the guy.

UT fans probably don't care though. And then there are some other optics at play for the AD. Like firing a black coach who "proved" he could do the job and hiring a white guy to replace him. Not exactly the best way to keep your job as an AD. So I get why he got the job.

Mar 27, 2023 01:44 PM #833

@wissox I like Larranaga too. He's old like me and obviously preaches free throw shooting. I don't know if I'll watch any of the FF, but Go Canes.

I'm planning on watching REAL basketball though - KU Women in the WNIT FF.

Mar 27, 2023 01:46 PM #834

@wissox I view UConn as kind of the anti-KU. Where KU has the consistency, UConn has the titles. Their down years can be pretty down.

KU's lowest win total since 99 is 21 (in the 20-21 year). UConn has had 11 (ELEVEN!!) seasons where they didn't reach that mark in that same time frame.

But they have 4 titles and we have 2 (boy that second one helps!). Also, I find it interesting that they've only been to the Final Four 5 times (now 6). Meaning when they get there they tend to win the whole thing. They certainly seem on track to do just that again this year. Comparatively, KU has 16 final fours overall winning it all 4 times. KU has been to the final four 5 times since 99, winning it all twice of course.

Was it just HEM who wanted to trade resumes with UConn or were there more on here that would prefer their recent history to ours?

Mar 27, 2023 02:49 PM #835

I enjoy the entire season. Some only value the last 6 games. To each their own.

Mar 27, 2023 03:13 PM #836

Funny I became a fan of KU when I was a kid after KU beat UConn. I'll be rooting for the other 3 teams to beat them again.

Mar 27, 2023 03:17 PM #837

The Athletic has an absolutely brilliant article about Dan Hurley. Makes me cheer for him even if I still don't like UConn because I got so sick of Jim "sour face" Calhoun.

Funny how our grudges stick around, ain't it?

Mar 27, 2023 03:19 PM #838

@benshawks08 hanging banners is so nice. And definitely what every team strives for every season. I think I might lean HEM's way on that.

But I will say there would be some hard seasons to watch in that arc of a story... if you're rewarded every 5-6 years with a banner tho? Idk. It's tough.

People often think Self has underperformed in post season. And it has weight. But it's all what perspective you look at it. He's the winningest coach here in post season I believe. Probably regular season too. Hard to argue the methods either way.

Meaning when they get there they tend to win the whole thing. They certainly seem on track to do just that again this year. Comparatively, KU has 16 final fours overall winning it all 4 times. KU has been to the final four 5 times since 99, winning it all twice of course.

Was it just HEM who wanted to trade resumes with UConn or were there more on here that would prefer their recent history to ours?

KU's been to 6 Final Four's since then. 2002, '03, '08, '12, '18, and '22. The KU-UConn debate is a good one because there's valid points for both schools about which one has been more successful over the past 25 years.

I'm rooting for SDSU because I think they were probably the other team robbed in 2020 and Miami because I like Larranaga as a coach. I don't have anything against FAU. UConn however...

Mar 27, 2023 04:00 PM #843

@bskeet What happened to SDSU in 2020?

Mar 27, 2023 04:09 PM #844

@benshawks08 More titles combined with more really down seasons vs. less titles but and all but written in stone guarantee of being ranked and in the dance every season. That's the choice between us and them. We are SO USED TO WINNING that when the inevitable day comes that we can't even be considered on the bubble I'm afraid we're really going to melt down if this whole social media thing is still happening. But if that day comes a year removed from a NC, maybe it's easier to swallow?

As goofy as it sounds, I would rather be KU than UConn. Reasons? 1. Tradition 2. BlueBlood status 3. AFH
4. KU's contribution to sports in general. 5. KUBuckets is better than HuskeyBuckets 6. UConn sounds like you con.
7. Our campus is better 8. Our girls are better 9. Google Earth was invented in Lawrence 10. We never had Jim Calhoun.

SDSU and Dayton are the two teams I would've been curious about in the 2020 tournament. Dayton especially because they were tracking to be a 1 seed that year.

Mar 27, 2023 06:52 PM #847

@Kcmatt7 I mean they wouldn't necessarily have to "fire" him tho right? Isn't that kinda part of why you have the interim tag.

Another question. Is UT kind of backed into a different corner here? Guy just won the conference tournament and took his team to the E8 while wearing the interim tag and basically getting it thrust upon him at the last minute thru unforeseen circumstances. If they don't give him the job, who else is really going to want it? "You mean this wasn't good enough for UT under the circumstances?"

Any other interested party may be thinking that way and not want the pressure of that atm. UT may not honestly have many other options right now, and probably no better ones

Mar 27, 2023 07:27 PM #848

Remember Texas has 2 big recruits signed right now. They haven't wavered and this move could solidify them joining them.

Terry clearly connected with this group and coached his but off so it's hard to say he didn't at least earn this for now. With the way basketball is turning into a 1 yr stop and shop for everyone, they can always find someone else next yr

Mar 27, 2023 08:39 PM #849

@wissox I'm rooting for Miami too because of Jim Larranaga. Just seems like a good guy. Players seem to love him, so that's good enough for me.

They gave us a heck of a game last year in the Regional final too, so... "Go Canes" or whatever they say.

Grant McCasland gets hired by Texas Tech. Great hire for them. I caught part of the NIT championship in between my Astros opening night, and thought North Texas State looked very impressive. Very well coached team - tough defense. The old man was a huge Tech fan, and he would've liked this hire.

Mar 31, 2023 12:45 PM #866

Yeah good coach, afraid his dude Perry will follow him for another year if he has it. That kid is a baller

@FarmerJayhawk I’ve won many a games leaving guys wide open who know they are the fourth or fifth best option. Mentally they know they aren’t supposed to be “the guy” scoring their job is to defend and rebound

Washington state let legerald be wide open at the free throw line at sprint center. He scored over 30 but we got upset

Best way to win is make the guys who’s job isn’t to lead in scoring to be wide open. Let him shoot 10-15 times

Someone text this to Self cause he doesn’t do it

Apr 01, 2023 03:03 AM #873

@FarmerJayhawk Playing the best basketball on planet earth - this includes nba, ncaa whoever…all around rebounds, assists, points just unbelievable

Apr 01, 2023 03:11 AM #874

@kuballin10 gotta make the other team play left handed. Bill Belichick is the best at it.

We did such a bad job of running real offense that night. Bill’s teams usually rip zones to shreds.

Apr 01, 2023 03:30 AM #875

@FarmerJayhawk You nailed it

Yeah it was brutal I remember watching it just smiling because if I’d scouted us I’d done something similar because at the time Vick wasn’t option 1 or even close

Apr 01, 2023 11:24 AM #876

According to ESPN, Clark has scored more points (235) this postseason (B10 and NCAA Tournament) than Iowa football scored scored all season (230).

I had to have a long talk with Pressley. Well, actually it was his mom. And it wasn't face to face- it was Twitter. And I didn't really have a talk with her- it was a word of encouragement for her. She's quite the Twitterphile. Nice lady, too.

Apr 02, 2023 12:06 AM #883

So many underdogs would win in the tourney if they would play smart. FAU gave this one away. Shooting with 4 secs left on the shot clock, leaving 7-8 secs left for SDSU even if they had made it, was just their final mistake. Barkley (Round Mound of Rebound) totally disgusted by FAU giving up offensive FT rebounds.

Have to say, SDSU's Brian Dutcher is a pretty good coach, considering how late he got into a head coaching gig.

Record: 150–46 (.765). Just shy of Bill's .769

@FarmerJayhawk helms not included we're looking at 4 in 15 years and possibly 5 in 24 vs 4 in 51 years. I mean I guess it's all perspective... but ya

Apr 02, 2023 03:01 AM #896

@cragarhawk Helms have to be, unless pre-BCS football titles also don’t count. I guess if we’re just looking at post-1990 there’s an argument but UConn only has 6 Final Fours. Ever. We have 16. To me there’s not really a case for UConn even if they win it all.

Apr 02, 2023 03:04 AM #897

UConn is also 25th in all-time wins and 16th in all-time winning percentage. If they win Monday, they'll have championships with 3 different coaches, which is a point in their favor, but I still think they have work to do in other areas.

Apr 02, 2023 03:05 AM #898

ESPN posted this on their Facebook a few minutes ago. Jordan Hawkins and Angel Reese are cousins who grew up together and each have a chance to win national titles in the next 2 days.

Apr 02, 2023 03:05 AM #899

@FarmerJayhawk definitely see your point. To me it's a gray area. I would say 1 thing about the pre-BCS thing tho... at least those were voted on largely if not completely the year they actually took place rather than 15-40 years after the fact.

Reality is this. Those mean something to us. But they mean less than 0 to anyone outside of KU

Apr 02, 2023 03:08 AM #900

Bring UConn into the Big 12 along with Gonzaga. UConn does at least have football.

Apr 02, 2023 03:09 AM #901

@cragarhawk and they can sit and reflect on their wrongness :)

Apr 02, 2023 03:14 AM #902

If we're talking about the modern era of the NCAA Tournament which I consider to be 1985 when the tournament expanded to 64 teams, UConn would be top 5 since that time considering they're currently tied with UNC for the second most titles in that span with 4 and should be a pretty big favorite to tie Duke with 5 on Monday night. KU is tied for 4th with Kentucky and Villanova with 3 titles since the tournament expanded to 64 teams.

Apr 02, 2023 04:18 AM #903

The gist is. We can argue all day about who is better than who. But I think the blueblood status at this point is probably a foregone conclusion. UCONN is simply there whether we like it or not. I personally do not... sad face

Apr 02, 2023 04:35 AM #904

@FarmerJayhawk meh. The type of recruiting and success combined is blue blood level. And with Hurley at the helm they sustain success. If they aren’t a blue blood they’re everything but one. Phenomenal program for 25 years

Apr 02, 2023 09:47 AM #905

New blood, not blue blood.

Blue blood involves heritage, legacy including many renowned players and coaches, and decades of sustained excellence.

Kind of the difference between old money and nouveau riche. The concept of blue blood originated with the notion that aristocrats and royals had blue blood.

UConn is a member of of the new bb aristocracy, but not a blue blood. Anyone watch the streamed show "The Gilded Age"?

Lsu ladies getting after Iowa. NPOY on the bench with 3 fouls, getting outcoached by Mulkey, and lights out from 3

Apr 02, 2023 09:14 PM #913

Was hoping for a better game. It was really offensive the zebras let some basketball break out between foul calls. The T on Clark was spectacularly terrible

Apr 02, 2023 10:53 PM #914

@FarmerJayhawk So Iowa's best player got taken out of their game by the refs after they benefitted by calls against SC's Boston? Always unfair when it isn't in your favor!

Apr 02, 2023 10:55 PM #915

@mayjay idk maybe just make the right calls

Apr 03, 2023 01:57 AM #916

It was a very oddly officiated game to say the least. Even the announcers were saying it. Idk. Not saying it benefited either team specifically. But there just never is any reason for officials to put there handprint on a game that way.

Definitely make the right calls. But honestly just call consistently both ends, 40 minutes. No, it isn't that hard. A foul now is a foul later. Or a no call now, is a no call later. It's like teams have to adjust the way they play every 5 minutes at the whim of the officials without knowing what that whim may be. Again, no reason for them to ever put their handprint on the game that way. Sad part is every time you see it happen it does nothing but lend weight to those that say sports is heavily affected by betting lines, Vegas etc., rather than Vegas just being that good at what they do

Apr 03, 2023 04:41 AM #917

@cragarhawk - I thought the technical on Clark was weak…
