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.
Bama would put 90+ on WVU lol

Are you nuts. - -No they wouldn't . They would put up 89 - - lmao - just giving you a hard time buddy

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

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???
Go B12 and B10
Packed house for WVU-MD in Birmingham, not....
@wissox said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@DCHawker I realized that after I typed it! I think I picked WVU in this one so hoping they win!
I picked them too. Good start for Wv - -turning Maryland over 11-4 - -I'm pulling for AL big 12 teams makes the conference look that much better/tougher better the better we do

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
I hate foul calls like that. WV guy perfect guarding position and MD guy bumps into him on shot and the foul on WV
I looked one WV was up 11. Now Maryland up 2 at the half. Big swing
How many Bama players at the scene of the killing? Maybe four. Not sure how Miller is still playing.
WV has got to get Stephenson more involved in the offense
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.
WV on a nice little 13-0 run
My 7 year old picked Furman. Lol his bracket could turn out better than mine! (he doesnât watch sports at all)
F U R M A N
Can not describe how much joy this one is giving me. A real shame fraud Bennett frauded his way to a title.
That would be meltdown city here. Only 1 seed to lose to a 16, now Furman. đ
Fwiw my kiddo doesnât like Purdue either. Upset alert đ¨ đ
First time seeing it. WOW CHILLS.
RADIO CALL
WVU didnât rep the Big12 very well today. They blew several leads. đ˘
Missouri pulling away sadly.
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.
Itâs literally any sport if you have the better athletes and players you want up and down the field/floors chiefs/hawks interchangeable
Fyi I picked furman and Charleston
@kuballin10 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
Fyi I picked furman and Charleston
Same. I also like Oral Roberts. Not sold on Duke feasting off a weak ACC at all.
I picked the Aztecs to make a run. That defense travels. Got Furman right. Having a good day so far
@kuballin10 They are good, but so is Oral Roberts. Should be a fun game.
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
@jayballer67 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

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.
Iâve got dook. Want ORU to win sooooo bad. Just think their bigs are too much. I donât love them to make a deep run because March is for guards and theyâreâŚ. Not great
I've got Duke. I think they've gelled at the right time. Could still be a tight game.
Princeton đ
Charleston SDSU game is incredible.
@Crimsonorblue22 trutv
Too bad W VA is one and done
SDSU will win now
Arkansas looks frightening...
Wow Aztecs bailed out by a very dumb foul
Started 5/6. Iâll take it
This Thursday & Friday: The best 2 days in sports
GO TIGERS
God the south looks so terrible. What a draw for Bama.
Lol Arizona
Bad day for the conference of champions
Awful execution by AZ in the last couple of minutes...
Well there goes my Brackets lmao
@benshawks08 I think Bama can knock em off
A good rule of thumb is to never pick pac 12 or big ten teams to win much. B10 hasnât had a NC since 2000 and P12 since 1997
If you picked off of KenPom you had a very bad day.
Illinois made a run, but can't hit layups or freethrows. Put a fork in 'em.
might have called that a little early... tbd
FRAUD WATCH: TOMMY LLOYD
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)...
Got some possible bangers in the Primetime window
Early line is KU -4.5
@kjayhawks said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

KenPom is a joke.
Duke is cruising, damn.
Well Oral Roberts ainât upsetting Dook
FRICKEN DUKE
Have dook in the FF in one bracket. Feels like theyâre clicking at the right time

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.
Oral Bob is in twouble...
Almost 8 minutes to score. A good way to lose badly
I never cheer for the Sec but I'd love to see Iowa get waxed by Brucy Pearly.
Wow Oral Robby forgot to read the scoutie
Texas looks capital G Good
@FarmerJayhawk said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

Elite gameplan to not miss 3s tbh.
Switching to the Boise Northwestern game these are a joke. Dook or Texas may both win by 30 plus.

Colgate on a 10-2 run - down to 9...
Auburn starting to crap their pants. Big Oyster will probably get the guys refocused. Will be interesting if Iowa can get hot.
Oral Roberts on a run only down 19 lol
Good for team toothpaste to make it a game
Northern Kentucky would be up 10 if they made an effort to rebound the ball.
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.
Northern Kentucky looks like a solid team. I'm not crazy about the 30 foot shots, but they are hanging with the Cougers.
Will be interesting here to see if Houston gets tight
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.
GO NORSE
Houston waking up now
GEAUX CAJUNS. 13-0 run to cut it to 5. Rick Barnes is Rick Barnesing
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
UVA and Zona lose. Not much else. Dook is still in, dang it. Hopefully 'Tucky loses today.
LOL, bragging about an NIT runner up. It's like PJ Fleck had rings made up for his team a few years ago because they finished 2nd in the BIG division in football.
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.
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
@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.
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.
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:
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...
A few upsets brewing early todayâŚ

pssssssst ya ok - -you just keep thinkin that - -you be all right - -come on Baylor
Xavier has risen.
I get rooting for the Gauchos - I love the double-digit seeds - but tough to argue on one hand that KU had the toughest schedule in the country and no nights off if the B12 lays an egg in the first round...
Xavier woke up for 7 minutes and that was enough. Baylorâs up 7 but theyâll end up pulling away here
Well here we go - - Iowa State doing Iowa State things - -already down 16-2 to Pitt - -2 points in about 9 minutes in the game
LMAO - - ummmm Coach , you DO KNOW you can't take your TO'S home with you don't you - - 21-2 Pittsburg
Not excusing ISU but this probably messed with them a little.

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...
ORU first ten minutes game plan doesnât work well
Uconn game should be fun lmao
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 wouldnât count them out. They need a ton of open looks and havenât gotten one call.
Iowa State trying to come back to make a game of this - - only down 7 now
@jayballer67 3 straight FT misses liked the MO
@kjayhawks said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@jayballer67 3 straight FT misses liked the MO
ya when your down like that , you just can not miss freebies . - would put more pressure on Pitt
ISU is inept on offense including FT's
ISU may not reach 40 points...
Iâm not sure Iâve seen a team go this ice cold at this level. The rebounding game is even ISU has half the turnovers as Pitt. They canât make nothing, a layup, a wide open 3 or free throw.
The Gyms this look 3/4s empty when a big name isnât playing

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.
Isu gonna hold a team under 65 and still lose by 20.
OM freaking G. The gym in Ames may be burned down.
Lowest points in a tournament game since 1944 is 51... ISU DESTROYED that record.
Now the S in ISU will be known as ...?
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!!!
I'd hate to run the suicide hotline in Ames today...
@BShark said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
Lowest points in a tournament game since 1944 is 51... ISU DESTROYED that record.
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.
We complain about our bench production (or lack thereof) - ISU's was 0-10, but contributed 5 TOs and 10 fouls...
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.
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...
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah bad tweet from someone, I should have researched it myself first, you are correct.

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
Folks over at phog.net are pissing themselves over UConn lol. Itâs too early to worry about that. I guess Iâm much more concerned with HOW we play rather than WHO we play. They ainât 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.
According to the Phog weâre a second round exit every year lol
@HawkChamp making tough shots and defending are always keys.
@HawkChamp Yeah let's get past the Hogs first.
I'm SO HERE for Matt Painter struggling with a 16 seed btw.
FDU with a 1 point lead at the half, their press is buggin Purdue. I remember someone saying the couldnât handle a press (me) lol. I doubt they can duplicate it in half 2 but I hope they do.
Purdue trailing by 1 at halftime. Do they keep playing tight being behind or can they overcome that and put FDU away.
Also YouTube TV's 4 way split screen is awesome for watching all games at once!!!
Well in this opening round we have had 3 wedge's -& now ! where the ball just flat sits on top of the bracket-- -crazy
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
@jayballer67 Kentucky cruising would be their first tournament win since 2018 or 19. I think KSU beats them Sunday

ya I think they have a good chance actually. -Kentucky got a half to go yet though
How Dam old is Drew Timme anyways, others always gave us hell about Perry. Seems like Timme has been at Gonzaga about a day after the College was established
FDU looks to be running outta gas and they arenât calling anything on Purdue
Yep FDU starting to fade
Lets goooooooo FDU! Up by 2
FDU up 2 w/ 8 to go. Wow
Pressure building on Purdue boy if that 3 went down.
FDU not dead yet - -2nd wind
Oscar with 17 rebounds with almost a half to go lol
This FDU game is must watch. Playing with joy, so many clutch plays
@Texas-Hawk-10 game changer for real. Love how itâs so seamless to go from game to game full screen if one is getting especially good
The longer this goes the tighter Purdueâs butts are getting
@FarmerJayhawk you know how this is probably going to end though. Still, fun to watch
IF they can hit a damn three, LOL. What a game.
Edey looks like a stone statue, getting out rebounded by guys a foot shorter. This is hilarious.
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.
@DanR said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
IF they can hit a damn three, LOL. What a game.
Kinda wild that Edey isn't even getting shots up.
FDU missing some knock out punches here
FDU has had 2 or 3 shots half way down wow. Can they finish it
Purdue has the fear in them. No one wants to even shoot right now...
Can we get maybe an upset in the West please?
Oh my
WE ARE CLOSING IN
I will be cooking on twitter dot com
HUGE 3
Guess they were a bit due to make one.
AND THE ANSWER
Shoulda sprinkled a little on FDU ml lol
FINALLY hit a big 3
YES!!!!!

Did the opposite
Told you all I didnât see anything great about Purdue months ago. Wouldnât have predicted theyâd lose to the 16 seed tho
I didnât think Iâd like the NBA challenge rule. But it helps in situations like this where the call should have been a foul. And because it wasnât, the wrong team ends up with the ball.
It's Purdue ball and there should be 30.0 seconds left.
Providence not going away either
Make up no call for missing the foul on the out of bounds play.
They hammered the FDU guys hand, bs
Lets go!
What a block!
BISM!
good grief refs.
Good timeout. Freeze Purdue's shooters
Make one FT and it's over!
GOT IT
Oh. My. God.
Upset of the century
HOLY SHIT!!!
it's madness I tell ya
My son has this one on his bracket :) I almost picked it. Coward! So good!
Wow just wow
What a stupid in-game plan by Purdue to not adjust to FDU's strategy.
MOST OF THESE KIDS WERE IN D2 LAST YEAR
Purdue are the biggest chokers in this whole ass tournament and itâs not close lmao
Literally just an amazing storyline all around
@FarmerJayhawk said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
Purdue are the biggest chokers in this whole ass tournament and itâs not close lmao

Purdue got out coached so bad, they pushed the ball, got a 6 point lead and then just stopped lol
Love the joy this coach has
I'm going off on twitter.
I'd like to know how Purdue couldn't even inbound the ball to Edey under their own basket. Chickenshit passers and a tree that can't jump.
Let's here you BIG- - let's give a shout out to the mighty BIG - -can we say F - -D --U
Several times Edy didnt get his hands up. Rebound off his head. And an Airball that someone else got.
PURDEW
Purdue was probably the weakest one seed Iâve ever seen honestly

Ahahahaha @Texashawk indeed
That block was clean they called a foul on Purdue.
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!"
@Crimsonorblue22 I agree but they missed an obvious flagrant for hooking and a foul on that out of bounds call late
Yep imagine that, guard play winning games in the tournament. Crazy stuff right??
Oscar ends up with 25 rebounds
Kentucky and Providence both shoot 36% from the field. Lousy just lousy.
FDU was 20-15 coming into the game. Their best win all year was........actually they didn't have a single good win. Only P5 school they played was Pitt and they lost by 22. Pretty remarkable...
@jayballer67 I really donât think anyone gives 2 shits about what UK does unless itâs lose

They are also only in the tournament because Merrimack wasn't allowed in. They lost their conference title game to them.
The first two days have shown us there are a lot of good players that are not in the power five conferences. Lots of big guys.

OH SHIT MAN THATS JUST SAD, THATS JUST LACK OF RESPECT FOR A PLAYER. GET THE FUCK OFF THAT. i CAN'T STAND KENTUCKY EITHER BUT DAM I have respect and know when i see a really good play and oscar is a really good player holy fuck
that kind of Statement sounds like it is more of a reaction of a Kentucky fane base person - -don't be a hater - -hate the game
@jayballer67 Iâm just saying a 16 just beat a 1 for the second time ever literally no one cares. We all know Oscar is a great player but once again who cares.
Matt Painter double digit seed losses...
16 seed (2023)
15 seed (2022)
13 seed (2021)
12 seed (2016)
11 seed (2011)

Miami struggling with Drake. That one Miami booster spent a LOT of money for this to be the result. :face_with_tears_of_joy:
This Memphis vs some team I never heard of is wild. Run down and shoot.
Are u for ksu?
Tang 2 the final four
Miami looking like they're gonna hang on.
Massive choke job from Drake
Memphis losing? Well knock me over with a feather
Drake has one (1) point in the last 5:38. WowâŚ
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
Memphis with a ridiculously stupid dead ball tech. Lol Penny
TCU got a break possibly thought they were in trouble - - looked like Miles really hurt himself on that flush
ASU with the 59/60/75 shooting splits at half
Night window games are duds.
TCU screwin around gonna end up losin this dam thing to ASU now down 11
TCU better wake up
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.
OWLS!!!
How much longer will Penny be coaching Memphis at this point?
I thought Memphis would go far since they just beat Houston w/out sasser.
I think you can take TCU out of the oven, looks like theyâre about done
Every year, big 12 disappoints me! I keep picking them
@HawkChamp said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

@Texas-Hawk-10 true, but probably not
Huge 3 from Baugh
and promptly give up and and one
Ugh
I liked the O, run fast and throw it as hard as u can against the board! đŞđ˝đŞđ˝
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.
Not many fouls called
Hero ball
Play D!
Just started watching, but the dude makes a great important shot and these announcers don't know to get excited? Where's Gus Johnson?
Miles has gone out hurt 50 times
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
Miles has gone out hurt 50 times
Dude is a walking fake injury
Gonna say, Miles Jr. Is a stud tho
I'd be anxious what az is shooting both halves
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ill be happy to order some crow FYI đ
Don't turn it over MM jr
I'd give it to Baugh
Different TCU team with Lampkin gone.
U know lampkin hadn't been playing much. Not sure if it was his injury or not
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
U know lampkin hadn't been playing much.
He was hurt, I know. Gritty win for the frogs.
I guess I have a soft spot for TCU... kind of like that team
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

Lamkin got hurt against KU when he turned his ankle.
@Texas-Hawk-10 yeah. They put him back in that game, way ahead! He was never the same!
MM shouldn't talk to much!
Lampkin had a high ankle sprain, same as Mahomes? One guy wins a superbowl.
Bonkers end to the night. Wowzer
TCU won shooting 35%. Whatever works I guess
I think they really work with our kids!
@KirkIsMyHinrich what did asu shoot each half? They were lights out first half.
One of the best tourneys in a long time... ignore your seed and win and advance
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@KirkIsMyHinrich what did asu shot each half? They were lights out first half.
Well they shot 59/60/75 in the first half and they ended the game shooting 48/47/67. But ya they couldn't miss in the first half.
@KirkIsMyHinrich thx!
Kent State just blew three straight layup opportunities when they had started catching up. Would REALLY like to see Ind go down, but the moment might be too big for the underdog there.
What channel?
Found it
@Crimsonorblue22 TBS
We stopped that guy!
Indiana win helps our NET right? :)
It did!
That athletic guy hurt himself
Sub coach
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.
@Texas-Hawk-10 it's a conspiracy
I think auburn will give Houston a game if sasser is hurt
Nice response coach, team effort!
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

Houston without Sasser is very beatable for the same reasons Virginia is always beatable in the tournament.

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.
@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.
Ok so the selection commitee has Duke as a 5 seed and Tennessee as the 4, but odds makers have Duke as a 4 pt favorite. I guess we'll see who's right.
The bracket has shaped up nicely for Duke

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.

Not having Self was probably a big factor in that line and probably would've jumped a bit if he was coaching today.

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!
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.
San Diego St dominating Furman so far

@drgnslayr Weâre 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. Now as for jitters due to over preparation meeting game day - they have Norm just smiling at them on the sideline.

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.

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.
The key is Tennesseeâs 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 donât make the FF

@jayballer67 could be, I feel like Dook is about ready to blow this wide open unfortunately
yeah, don't think Tennessee can score enough...
They may not need to score much if they can continue with the physical defense in the 2nd half...
Really physical
Tenn did the same thing to us. Bully ball. Filipowski had quite a shiner underneath the eye.
Huge foul on Roach - - 4 fouls with 15 minutes left. - -Don't take the ball into lively you gonna have Spalding tattooed on your fore head
@Jethro said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

hell of a cut under that eye too. - I mean clean play but just caught that elbow
Whoever the strength coach is for Tennessee we should go poach đ
Duke privilege is still alive and well
Vols please I beg. Won't find me cheering for Ricky often.
for a kid who is supose to be a Senior play high school ball - -Proctor playing a pretty good game. Can see the frustration growing a little on Filipkowski face
DAM - the big guy from Tennessee is just mugging Filipkowski today needs to put the helmet on holy crap
Duke is done now, just throwing up garbage lol
OOOOPSIE DAISY - -I'm starting to smell some ROCKY TOP
DAM so NOW who comes out of this EAST Region ? - Baylor ? - - Missouri ? - -still don't think Alabama making it. although they got an open road
Tennessee now has great path to Houston
Wow. Tennessee played its best game in awhile. Impressive defensive showing. SEC has been dominant so far. Let's hope that doesn't extend to the next game.... ;)
DOOK
@drgnslayr said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
I believe Duke is going to blow out Tenn today and clearly put themselves on the map as a tournament favorite. I hope Iâm wrong and I hope I jinx them!

Alabama isn't in the East. Marquette is likely the favorite to come from the East now.
Princeton đ
Wild only 1 1 might get to the second weekend
@FarmerJayhawk This field is weak, itâs a disappointing year to have an ok team. Feels like a missed opportunity due to circumstance.
Someone tell me some outcome to root for in this tournament, im at a loss
Probably just B12+upsets
@approxinfinity I'm just lost, this is always my saddest day. Every yr. Kevin and jwill were struggling at post game.
@approxinfinity I'm almost on UT wagon... idk why. Can't root for KSU to go that far cause of their fans. Hell maybe even TCU. Why not. I'm all in on Farleigh Dickinson but ya they won't do it... lol
This is the part that sucks. Like you don't look forward to anything now but late night... but it honestly sucks for the players worse. Ugh. Hard times
@Crimsonorblue22 well not last year
Kinda like an un-sad leap year when we win. Hopefully every 4 years
@approxinfinity said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

Gonzaga? IDK
I really wanted those 22' 23' banners to bookend the north end of the Phog. Sad damn face
Is Houston actually gonna win this fuckin thing? I would actually almost take that as they are joining the league
Penn State đ
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?
@cragarhawk I think the Big 12 was all varying degrees of mediocre. Everyone is pretty flawed.
@cragarhawk I think we do beat up on each other!
@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"
I heard Juan was nowhere to be found. đ˘
@Crimsonorblue22 what?
Not in locker room after game. Probably taking the loss for that stupid not a 10 sec call!
@Crimsonorblue22 sometimes the ones it hurts the hardest come back and give you the most. Jaun is class. Jaun is KU.
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. Thatâs just how close games go and itâs tough to swallow. Itâs much easier to lose by 20 knowing it just wasnât your night/ played a better team or something.
And those missed free throws
While I wonât watch any more basketball this season, Iâm 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 wouldâve been it. But theyâre more worried about kids getting paid 6 years ago.
Thanks and admiration for the players and coaches.
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.

Like I posted yesterdy afterwards. Think about it , IF Kevin & Jalen had even hit the front end of their one & one's doesn't matter about the back end - -they hit the front of those in the closing minute/minutes - -that's two more points & we win
Gradey didnât take any kind of role yesterday, given his time on the court. 7 pts, 1/3 on 3âs. 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
Xavier not having any trouble with Pitt.
Nowell giving Kentucky fits
I feel like UK is one run away from blowing this wide open. They are destroying KSU on the glass
@kjayhawks KSU can't rebound and Kentucky sucks defensively. Interesting game.
If we had Oscar weâd be dam good, hope Udeh is watching
KSU it is
wow K-State.
Hurts watching KSU step up and make plays when we couldnât prob done watching til next season.
"I will always be better toward fuckheads than they are to me."
--Mayjay, 3/19/2023
Calimari sitting in the TO looks like a grandpa getting ready to read to the tots.
Kentucky with 16 turnovers is why they're going to lose.
Happy for KSU. Don't know about other fan bases, but I cheer for B12 teams after the conference season is over lol
Cal continues to be a world class tournament choker lol
Sucks for Kentucky, but at least they're used to it.

@Eric-san the problem is for me living in the middle of KSU land. They havenât stopped talking about the 2010 team that went farther than KU. Will be talking about this long after Iâm in the cold hard ground. KSU is trending up to the point they could easily be better than us next season. Hopefully we can beat them in football.

Who cares? I live around lots of KSU guys as well. Also they will lose Keyontae and Nowell so DOUBT.
@kjayhawks said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@BShark for sure, itâs more so KSUs achieving moderate success and being the new power that gets old.
KSU fans are often very sad in my experience.
I will hear it tmrw! But we beat them too this yr.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

We were the better team this year. It's basketball shit happens. The tournament is super fickle. Benefited us last year.
Watching this st Maryâs vs UConn makes me want to puke. We canât beat either of those and ucla or zagsâŚ.we can beat anyone but maybe Bama and houston in this tourney. If those two donât win itâŚthatâs gonna suck
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.
Izzo is so fun to watch this time of year, such a character
Baylor down 14 to Creighton with 10:00 left in the game.
It's becoming easier to imagine a mid-major-heavy FF with Creighton, Xavier, Gonzaga and Michigan St.
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.)
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!
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)
KU women are absolutely destroying Missouri in the 3rd quarter by 20 in the 2nd round of the WNIT.
@benshawks08 theyâre in for one more year.
Ya'll really should watch this. đŚ View Tweet?s=20
Neat little congruence: The Miami men put the Indiana men out of the tourney.
The Miami women put the Indiana women out of their tourney.
First time ever I'm following the NIT and tonight Utah Valley knocked off Cincy. I recall them surprising us back in December as the were a feisty squad. They had a great home crowd at their stadium.

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...
He did 'bout shoot them out at the end with those 2 hero shots. MSU didn't take advantage. Ksu has a lot of shooters!
Izzo is such a jerk. " They got lucky!"

Iâd say the people cheering for KSU donât live in this state or outside of the Lawrence area. Iâd 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.
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 playingâŚArkansas.
The three teams left in the west are good enough to be in the FF.
@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.
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!

Heh, I can understand that. That's Missouri for me.
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)
@FarmerJayhawk they hate us like we hate missery

They lost their PG at the end of the regular season. Honestly surprised they even beat Duke in the second round.

I had Duke beating tn just because of their pg
Wish Iâd researched fau moreâŚquick athletic 6-4/6-5 guards who can shoot the three (6th most in ncaa) - itâs like Baylor during 2012
Ucla 48 points to now 14 points this half

Drew Timme is trying to upstage Nowell's performance tonight. 36 and 15 and has half of Gonzaga's points tonight.
UCLA is really missing Jaylen Clark and Adem Bona this half.
@Texas-Hawk-10 acl, right? I saw that game.
OMG UCLA!
A lot of time!

Miller out early for Alabama with 2 fouls. Could be big
Okay so I very easily could be way off and totally , totally wrong on this but I really don't understand WHY these announcers had to re-hash things that everyone already knows for sure by now and that's Brandon Miller involvement with the Murder that happened. -Just don't feel that needs to be brought up again at this time.
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.
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.

I'll say it again like I did earlier. I got a feeling both # 1's go down tonight. - -ONE DOWN - - ONE TO GO
@jayballer67 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
Okay so I very easily could be way off and totally , totally wrong on this but I really don't understand WHY these announcers had to re-hash things that everyone already knows for sure by now and that's Brandon Miller involvement with the Murder that happened. -Just don't feel that needs to be brought up again at this time.
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
Shout that stuff from the roof tops. Only reason that kid didnât face any repercussions is because heâs the best player on a high profile team. So glad Alabama went down. Only team I was actively rooting against other than mizzou. That situation was handled so poorly by that program that it should be the only thing people talk about when Alabama basketball is mentioned. From the multiple players involved to the coaches nonchalant attempt to blow past it as if it wasnât a big deal.

thats just sad
Sad we have to get pleasure out of someone losing but bye bye Bama. I never really had anything against Bama basketball except they were SEC. 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.
Gonna lose the remaining number 1s tonite?
Now let's get Houston the hell out and we be good
1 down. 1 to go

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.

Texas or Xavier tonight ?
Texas. Hate Xavier.
Svi started for Charlotte tonight but no Oubre
@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

Thinking Texas has a shot. Yet U Conn looking pretty good
The league is looking decent. Idk if UT wins but they need to. Without that? The most dominant league in the last whatever years starts looking pretty lackluster. You bout gotta get multiple teams in the last weekend. And I dont really buy into the "crapshoot" argument on that
Can both teams lose? Really dislike both.

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.
@benshawks08 kinda like Weiss getting away with his crap, izzo, etc. I could go on.
First Elite Eight without a 1 seed. I knew the top was soft but good lord
SDSU, Miami, U Conn look very good, throw in Texas. Tonight's game were a step above, besides U Conn.
@cragarhawk said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@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
I think the Big 12 was probably the toughest league but that was...a bit overblown.
The Big East of all conferences is looking amazing so far. They could get 3 into the EE.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

@cragarhawk said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@BShark so how I look at it if that transpired? They were actually probably the better league. Imo
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.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@BShark how does he get recruits?
How does anyone get recruits?

John Higgins I just saw reffing a sweet 16 game it looked like.
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.
At this point, Go Zags! I wouldn't be upset to see Mark Few finally win a title since that's the only thing missing from his resume.
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.
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?
Xavier players are losing their composure. Kunkle had a cheapshot on Rice going for a layup.

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.
UT would absolutely be crazy to not hire Terry as their permanent coach at this point.
@Texas-Hawk-10 True to form for Xavier.
My Texas FF pick is looking brilliant!
"In the final analysis, Alabama sacrificed every shred of its institutional integrity for a meager Sweet 16 run."
I'll beat you to the punch: yes, it's Pat Forde. Yes, he's a jerk. But a broken clock is right twice a day. And he's right on this. The embarrassment of Alabama bb is now out of the tournament, thank God. If they had won the tournament, it would've left an indelible stain on the sport, imo.

@Texas-Hawk-10 FAU is 52 miles from Miami. Not quite the same as UNC-Duke in the same FF last year, but in a non-basketball crazy state like Florida it's really remarkable.
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.
@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. Iâm glad Bama is out but comparing such to someone being murdered is apples to oranges to the aforementioned stuff.
@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.
Trap game: Vegas would make so much money if Silo Tech loses. The line is K-State -1.5 up to -2. 90% of the money is on K-State. I think Fau wins, and Vegas makes a fortune.
FAU runs some fun sets
FAU has very balanced offense. Very effective big. Can shoot 3s. And, can penetrate off the dribble...
KSU deciding to just wrap up and throw the fau big an to the floor every time down the floor now that the foulâs differential is so big. Refs letting it all go.
But hey the score is close so mission accomplished, right?
Hard to say which is worse, bigs getting absolutely manhandled trying to post up or just camping out in the lane for like 8 seconds. Not sure if itâs a chicken or the egg situation but they seem connected.

@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.

They need to get Key going for sure.
K state has been really good on set plays this whole tournament. Seems they always get that bucket when they need it and have an opportunity to run something.
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.
My twitter account will resume normal activities once this game is over. For now, please do not pay attention to it.

I'd be fine with them reaching the E8 every 5 years only to lose to the flavor of the month 8-9 seed mid major like they did 5 years ago to the Fighting Sister Jean's.
Make sure K State fans know youre rooting for their team, and they can feel free to return the favor when their guys have a down year?
KSU has missed 3-4 bunnies...
@approxinfinity lol! That's not gonna happen!
This is the kind of game the NCAA needs when all of the major players have been eliminated.
I'd take Goldin
Nowell is on an all time heater. Just doing all the dumb things and itâs working
First game of the year between them and us the little guy had 4 points and 7 assts. 2nd game 23 points, not many dimes. He wouldn't have been a household name just playing us.
No more flops?

If KSU loses this game, Johnson's 0-3 from FT line (one front end) and Sills missed layup are going to haunt...
@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.

Neither team would use the clock
đđđ
@Crimsonorblue22 No I didn't.
I'm also very capable of changing my tune from above and laugh at KSU for choking against a 9 seed!
Come on FaU!!
No foul on the dunk?
Just sad to not block out on FTs...
<---feeling a Silo meltdown coming
And to think how I griped so loudly when they put FAU in the rankings. Shame on me.
Gotta make the free ones
HOOT HOOT
Thought he walked too
They all shake hands?
FAU +22 RBs. 82% on FTs - especially clutch down the stretch...
Impressive group, humble and shirts on!
Haha!!! Bye bye kitties!!!
Hell ya!! FAU fear the birds
Wooot woooty
Big should not have put it on the floor.
No more bullying crims! đâ¤ď¸đžđ

Anyone care to join in Manhattan tomorrow? I figure I save time playing golf there, everyone knows they only have 14 holes, cause they canât make the final four.
Nowell is a dude. Does he have another year? Lol. I hope not
What an absolutely chaotic tournament
Amazing how often ksu just steps on their own junk in the tournament. Butler, Loyola, now FAU. Incredible

I'm sure they will still need to make a sweet E8 DVD and are now the new dominant power in the big12 tho... đ
Itâs 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 theyâd be blowing up the twitter and Facebook feeds talking smack.
@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.
@mayjay the E8 game is the only round Self has a losing record in as KU coach. I think itâs one of the hardest games to win between a short turnaround and you know youâre 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.
I think I wouldnât mind see Mark Few steal a title here. Doesnât look good for them currently but I think he deserves one.
This UCONN team looks unstoppable. I would rather anyone but UConn win the title this year. Itâs 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. Donât think there is any other team in any sports with this type of inconsistency and titles. The standard deviation is off the charts.
Canât stomach them having 5 titles in 24 years to our 4 in 70+ years!
Did anybody see that painting? That looked worse than a 5 yr old!
UConn was hot and zags are not. Iâm not crazy about either of these teams, but what a shitshow by gonzaga. Might as well just walk off the court

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.
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 havenât even been challenged at this point.
@Texas-Hawk-10
Iâm actually glad we didnât play UConn. I think it would have been a USC type of an ending to the season.
@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.

Unstoppable - and unfathomable how they finished tied for 4th in the Big East, four games behind Marquette...
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.
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...
This game is going to end on a foul call. I'm sure Creighton's fans will have nothing to say about that.
If I read it right, 7/9 SDSU players (who had minutes today) are seniors. The other two are juniors.
@Texas-Hawk-10 It was the right call too. Ugly game, nothing pretty, I wasted my time watching!
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.
All you all said Texas ainât legit and they play KU well but didnât 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 doesnât clean up and clearly not having 6-7-6-8 guys at the wings doesnât matter
@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.
@kuballin10 Go join Longhornbuckets then
Momentum MiamiâŚ..see if Texas can hold on
Jim Larranaga is a bit underrated as a coach.
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.
@wissox said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:

He's a really good coach and good guy. UM has made adjustments - UT hasn't responded...
No defense by UT - UM shooting 63%...
UM 19-22 from FT line. Making FTs wins games...
Texas? Choking? NEVER
Terrible call
Nick Collison sighting!!!
Right call! Cunninghams a creep
@Crimsonorblue22 said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
Terrible call
If Cunningham hadn't kept backing up, he would've gotten the call...
Texas is a bunch of inefficient chuckers
Carr's a ball hog
Smart mom!
Top 3 Big 12 teams all choke away decent leads in the tourney. The long reign of the Big 12 is over.
Carr just yeeted Tejas back to Austin
25-28 FTs. That's pretty remarkable. Do they practice those at UM?????

This is why they can't stick with Terry.
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
Memories! No KU in their way!
Transfers and retaining non-NBA guys :key:
Does UT officially hire Terry? I feel like that's just not the UT thing to do. I've thought that all along. Even tho he probably earned it
Glad to see Texas lose, I wouldâve been fine to extend the B12s FF and title game streak but F*** Texas ride on out shorthorns.
@kjayhawks said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@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.
Get old stay old. Thankfully, we are targeting old in the portal.
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?
This years final four looks like a crappy preseason tournament that no one in their right mind would attend
@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.
@mayjay said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@dylans Except that is a pretty absurd prejudice to have considering how exciting all these games have been. F4 should be a blast
I think its awesome. Like what storylines. So many firsts! As long as UConn doesn't win it all everyone should really enjoy this. Pretty unbelievable.
@Gorilla72 I think the AD is a smart man lol. Low risk hire. If Rodney doesnât work out itâs fine because âhe earned it.â
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 theyâd win 20 games with no coach. Iâm not sure this is a good evaluation of his talent.
Will be interesting to see if he can do it again next season.
@mayjay Yes Iâm prejudiced. If itâs not KU basketball, to hell with it!
I donât watch very many basketball games that donât 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, Iâm not wasting any on something I draw no enjoyment from. - Iâve only watched 2 tournament games this year. Some people live and breathe basketball, I live and breathe KU basketball.
@BShark said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@Kcmatt7 It would be like us hiring Norm. Hate it. But also I love it because eff Texas.
Yea I mean similar to Norm, he had his shot. Texas theoretically should be able to hire almost anyone. Go get your guy.
I wouldnât be thrilled as a UT fan at all.
@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.
@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.
@benshawks08 I mean they could do worse. Terry beat KU twice, Beard has 3 wins against KU in 5 years. I wouldnât be over the moon about this hire as Texas, but it could work out. Iâd take Rodney over Norm any day of the week, but thankfully KU is not likely hire from within.
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!
@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.
@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?
I enjoy the entire season. Some only value the last 6 games. To each their own.
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.
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?
@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.

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.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Thanks for the edit. Guess I can't count.
Here is the Dan Hurley story link:
https://theathletic.com/4348076/2023/03/27/final-four-uconn-ncaa-tournament-dan-hurley/ â
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...
@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.
@wissox said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@bskeet What happened to SDSU in 2020?
They were 30-2 and ranked 6th, and 6th in Kenpom. Good team.
@wissox said in NCAA NON- KU GAMES:
@bskeet What happened to SDSU in 2020?
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.
@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
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
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, could almost touch the ceiling. Great memory!
Maybe UConn should replace Michigan State in the early season game?
@approxinfinity Looking forward to seeing 73 year old Bill Self lead KU to yet another final four appearance!

@FarmerJayhawk DON'T apologize. When you get an NIT bid, you expect games like that to happen! Not the best moment for UW though for sure.
CUSA is gonna sweep the postseason
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.
Iowaâs defense is wild. They arenât even trying to guard the line. Just packing it in and doubling the post every trip

It's worked, Boston only has 8 points tonight. Also, Caitlin Clark is a damn beast.
@Texas-Hawk-10 masterpiece of a game. Monster game for Clark. Sheâs just spectacular
Game callers were lame!
The Nickerson gal that signed with Iowa before their tragic accident which killed her dad, went down with her mom. They're honoring her scholarship.
@FarmerJayhawk Iâve won many a games leaving guys wide open who know they are the fourth or fifth best option. Mentally they know they arenât supposed to be âthe guyâ 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 whoâs job isnât to lead in scoring to be wide open. Let him shoot 10-15 times
Someone text this to Self cause he doesnât do it
@FarmerJayhawk Playing the best basketball on planet earth - this includes nba, ncaa whoeverâŚall around rebounds, assists, points just unbelievable
@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. Billâs teams usually rip zones to shreds.
@FarmerJayhawk You nailed it
Yeah it was brutal I remember watching it just smiling because if Iâd scouted us Iâd done something similar because at the time Vick wasnât option 1 or even close
According to ESPN, Clark has scored more points (235) this postseason (B10 and NCAA Tournament) than Iowa football scored scored all season (230).
Ya that Clark chick is insane. Watched the last 2 games Iowa played just because she's exciting to watch.

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.
San Diego St. to the title game on a buzzer beater to win by 1.
Man weâve had some bangers the last couple weeks. Parity makes for a great tournament
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.
Anybody But Connecticut
KSU is hanging a banner if Miami makes the NC.
âOne of our former players was in a Natty 2023â
Have to say, SDSU's Brian Dutcher is a pretty good coach, considering how late he got into a head coaching gig.
Record: 150â46 (.765). Just shy of Bill's .769
UCONN is just good. Very good. The end
UConn a blue blood in my book if they win it all guys. Time to accept it
Give uconn the trophy now itâs ova
Bill needs to 2-3 more here before he retire gotta take advantage
Oh god weâre gonna have people saying UConn > KU now
@FarmerJayhawk in terms of banners. It's pretty tough to argue
@cragarhawk for sure. 6>5.
@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
@cragarhawk Helms have to be, unless pre-BCS football titles also donât count. I guess if weâre just looking at post-1990 thereâs an argument but UConn only has 6 Final Fours. Ever. We have 16. To me thereâs not really a case for UConn even if they win it all.
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.
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.
@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
Bring UConn into the Big 12 along with Gonzaga. UConn does at least have football.
@cragarhawk and they can sit and reflect on their wrongness :)
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.
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
@FarmerJayhawk meh. The type of recruiting and success combined is blue blood level. And with Hurley at the helm they sustain success. If they arenât a blue blood theyâre everything but one. Phenomenal program for 25 years
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"?

Been saying it for years- SD State is for real.
I was really pissed Friday night. We were having storms and our CBS station was doing weather updates (I guess to save peoples lives or whatever) and at 9 oclock, we couldn't watch Blue Bloods because of it. Is this the Blue Bloods we're all talking about?

Lsu ladies getting after Iowa. NPOY on the bench with 3 fouls, getting outcoached by Mulkey, and lights out from 3
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
@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!
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
@cragarhawk - I thought the technical on Clark was weakâŚ
