Congrats to Beilein and the Wolverines! Imo one of the more underrated coaches and good guys of basketball. Happy to see Pitino eliminated; pretty sure OK St would have beaten him as well.

Nah, they need a coach.....

From what I did see of this game, the Wagner kid is a STUD. Did anyone else even recruit him? LOL

@BShark holy smokes 11-14 for 26 pts. Cardinals on the Fritz? Blame it on Moritz!

Sooooo WSU vs UK. I'm torn.

Big 10G playing spoiler this tournament...go figure.

Not at 5:00 today though!

@BShark I think I want UK to win. Marshall has elevated himself to elite d-bag status and Cal is not the slime ball that he was imo (maybe it's Stockholm syndrome)

@BShark I'm always against Kentucky, even when they are playing Wichita State. I hope to see the day that KU leads in overall wins.

Two replies and two different answers. Ha!

For me, at least there is one loser.

@BShark Maybe they tie and both teams get caught cheating, so they forfeit and we need not make a choice.

@Bwag

The B10 was disrespected this year. Totally unfair. So those teams are carrying a chip.

@stoptheflop good point. If we want to take over #1 it's gonna take a few deep postseason runs with UK on the sideline.

@approxinfinity count how many times Marsha rotates his left wrist. Nervous tick? I've watched to many wsu games and He's been on our local tv news to many times! Lol

@approxinfinity

I still can't respect Calipari. It's like suddenly respecting Al Capone because he later ran many legit businesses he built off his crimes and murder.

@mayjay

Touchdown mayjay unbelievable.

@drgnslayr

B1G and ACC results have been very contrary to what many thought going in.

They will both have something negative to say after the game

@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Not about themselves.

Now we HAVE to win........I don't want to hear about how the Big 10 has taken over KC.

@BShark

The ACC received way too much praise this year. Extremely over-ranked.

So now all those entitled teams have to actually play. Ha!

I'd love to see UNC and Duke leave early.

@BShark said:

Sooooo WSU vs UK. I'm torn.

WSU -

Would rather not play UK again where they would come in with even more motivation since we beat them at their house. But even more importantly, I want them to win as few of games as possible while we work to overtake them in all time wins.

Plus, we owe WSU.

@approxinfinity said:

@BShark I think I want UK to win. Marshall has elevated himself to elite d-bag status and Cal is not the slime ball that he was imo (maybe it's Stockholm syndrome)

Marshall is a gnat...an annoying gnat and nothing more.

@Bwag Great point. We've already beaten Kentucky this year. Need an opportunity to destroy WSU.

Game is a grind so far. I don't see a clear edge for either team.

Frankamp got goal tended there. Uncalled

Wichita struggles to score. Going to be tough for them to win if they can't score in the 70's or 80's.

@Bwag He has to go stronger to the hoop. I saw the replay and it looked like UK blocked it off the backboard.

NIce move by WSU inside

@truehawk93 replay showed he laid it off the glass.

Shox looking good

WOW....mauled

Kinda a track meet currently just everyones missing shots lol

Frankamp has to finish from outside

Where is @wissox?

Yo, OUR Bucky Badgers did it to Jay Wrong!!!!!

Yeeeeeeee hawwwwwww.

All of college basketball owes the Buckies a big hug and a classic Mad Town chant with the B in "Buck'em" exchanged for four letters later in the alphabet."

BUCK'EM BUCKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, where are the posters that didn't think WSU was good? Their defense is intense.

Shox onto something against UK. Drive and dish....working everytime. Morris finishing well at the rim.

Calipari took that play out of Self's lob

Shox pesky D

@jaybate-1.0 Who you looking for? Like I said here yesterday YEEEEHAWWWWW, Go Jayhawks!

@BShark exactly, you and I have taken flack for saying they are, anyone that knows basketball knows they are period.

Alright, I broke of the cryo ice, and I'm ready for some serious thugging with Ratso Izzo and his chain wielding Spartans.

Let's give'em a zinc acid bath in honor of the one Jimmy Hoffa supposedly got!!!!!!!!

Beat Ratso.

Beat Ratso.

BEAT RATSO IZZO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I have to run a quick errand and will get back in time for the game.

Ugly, low scoring half court game. I thought it would be. If monk gets going, UK wins. If he doesnt, I think Wichita wins.

This is a WSU style game. UK is going to have to earn this one today.

Wisconsin's playing for the national championship. Book it.

Right now in Women's Hockey. Big10 network

@kjayhawks

If this KU team defended like WSU, we'd be the top team by far.

That said, it's not really that simple. A huge part of why WSU can defend so tightly is because they play a lot of players, and it's hard to find that many skilled offensive players that are also willing to buy in defensively.

Wally Szczerbiak looks like something out of Marvel Comics.

“I just got on my hands and knees and begged him. That’s what I did, and that wasn’t as good as Bill’s,”

What Izzo said about recruiting Jackson.

@wissox

Yeah that was a great quote.

MSU is going to use the JJ snub of them as a motivating factor you already know. BIg10 network this morning had a little bit of bulletin board video of Josh talking as usual. I forget what he said to be honest, but my eyebrows raised, like Josh, shut up!

@BShark Yes, i would be worried about their bigs if we played them. Our guards can play with anyones but I'm betting Shaq would go for a minimum of 20 on us, we give up big games to just about every post player we see. Which is ok if our guards hit shots and keep someone else from going off.

Love the motto guys, just heard on the Game - - - time to TURN IT UP guys. time for our boys to lock in, no droughts - -GAME TIME show them who we are - - ROCK CHALK - -take it to the house - -GAME TIME - -let's do this. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox LOL, got me - - but who knows? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp Think WSU has a legit chance to do this. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

We're actually a better FT shooting team than MSU which probably is the first time all year we've had a FT shooting advantage!

game of runs...

I hope Conner hits the game winner and Calapari starts to cry.

@stoptheflop Calapari doesn't cry. He says: we'll reload for next year

@kjayhawks Ahh, you edited your post I see! You were about to say "kensucky about to blow this game open!"

@wissox lmao I cheated but man if WSU could hit anything they'd be in control.

@wissox I'm a little worried that Josh is going to try to hard to make things happen against his buddies.

@Hawk8086 I think JJ is too focus he knows the OADs reputation at KU in the dance, all I can ask is for JJ to play hard and I think he will.

@Bwag Calipari crying was just hyperbole, but it would be a season highlight for me.

@kjayhawks

If either team could hit shots....LOL

Those of you that are local........Shamut was not that highly of a regarded recruit was he? Appears to be outperforming expectations?

@Hawk8086

KU didn't even bother. WSU may have just outrecruited BRUUUUUCE for him, not 100% sure on that but KSU did offer.

And yes Shamet is good! Not a knock on him at all.

!IMG_4758.JPG ↗

@Blown lucky!

All these 5star players and it might just be the 4 year program player from Kentucky that pushes them through...

Villanova since 2010:

Down goes Frankamp

@wissox Just banged knees, he'll be back.

Lets see how WSU responds here

marhsa goin downnnn

@BeddieKU23 I does seem like WSU just doesn't have enough offense to stay in this.

@kjayhawks If he waits much longer it may be November before he gets back in a game.

AHHH stayed focused KU brethren. The only game that matters is the Spartan game.

UK gonna give this thing away

Just for the record would love to see WSU beat the Cal's OAD machine. Come on? Who wouldn't?

@DoubleDD UK trying hard to loose it seems. Playing very undisciplined IMO

Shamet taking over.

Great finish coming up. Big plays on both ends

@HawkChamp

Onions from both teams.

I feel so :sob: for the state of Michigan. Both the Spartans and Wolverines are going to lose to the Jayhawks. Oh well here's a :beer: for their tears.

@BShark Crunchtime & no CF to be found

Down go Marsha and Quitter.

LOSE ANGRY.

@HighEliteMajor I know you like the Red and Blue pill analogy. Yet what about a :pill: to kills the pain for the next 5 opponents that KU plays. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

When Kentucky feels like playing defense they are really good.

@BShark Marshall will cry 😭 like Tony Soprano .... poor -me....

Did WSU not have a play or action to get a shot off?

@Bwag Good defense by UK and blocking the 3 attempt.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said:

When Kentucky feels like playing defense they are really good.

Yep for sure.

@Bwag Didn't appear that way if they did .

Well at least I wont have to hear about how great WSU is regardless of KUs outcome.

@kjayhawks

Amen :pray:

@kjayhawks

Testify.

Exciting end. Can't believe they didn't have a play on either possession to get a good shot

@Bwag said:

Did WSU not have a play or action to get a shot off?

Certainly did not look at open CF.

Here we go! I really don't feel like being sad today.

Is this the official KU buckets thread?

Let's go Hawks!

@wissox no

Not gonna lie, starting to get nerv-anxious. It's making me make up words...

@wissox Brought a smile thinking about your Badgers win and how happy you would be.

Was just read Villanova's thread from yesterday. Hilarious. "F you", "Blow Me", "STFU" Over and over again. They melted down. Glad that doesn't happen to us.

@RockChalkinTexas Not as happy as a win today! We need this badly!

Let's go to the ku thread??? Ok

@Crimsonorblue22 where is it?

I like this one!

Me too

Why's our game not started yet? I'm driving my wife crazy like a kid at 6AM on Christmas morning.

[link text](

Here we go Jayhawks.

time to take care of business

The other half of us are on the KU and Apples thread. We should all get together.

Bill looks tight

Terrible start

Arkansas has the lead!!!

@BShark UNC shooting 35%! Hope that holds.

Wouldnt that be a coup for the underappreciated SEC if Arkansas beats UNC and South Carolina beats Duke?

Let's go Razorbacks! Break a bracket or 2 (million)!

@approxinfinity Neither would disappoint me, and SCar will probably have home court advantage against Duke as well considering the game is in Greenville.

@Texas-Hawk-10

they won't have the ref's though

@Texas-Hawk-10 Here's to very much hoping.

The sea might be parting for KU if and I say if KU gets passed Purdue. Rhody up 8 at the half on Oregon. Might be Rhody vs Mich in the S16 wow.

Wow, Arkansas really pooped the bed. North Carolina very fortunate

@HawkChamp

Consider their coach.

So far, Baylor is looking good against USC.

@HawkChamp They did. But that if that wasn't a charge on Berry.............I don't know what would be!

@stoptheflop

Go Baylor!

So KU's 2 Louisville is gone and the 3 seed Oregon is down 5 with 10 minutes left. I know one game at a time, but I'm getting excited.

:pray:

@dylans But Michigan is starting to remind me of UConn's 2014 team that caught fire in March and won it all.

@Texas-Hawk-10 we are catching fire too! :smiley:

@HawkInMizery Yes. I like the way we kept the foot on the gas against UCD and the way we finished the game tonight.
I think we are on a mission.

@Hawk8086

If the team falls short, it won't be because of effort.

@Hawk8086 me too! We've been missing that. Frank and that Burg toughness are going to carry us to a 'ship!

Rhode Island needs to clean up the pee puddle and get back after it.

Eh, go KU!

@dylans

Too fired up about this KU win to watch these other games. I do have ESPN up to check scores though.

@BShark I'm the same way. WAtching Oregon now

Early line out on Purdue game. KU favoured by 4.5

Well, Oregon winning is better for my already busted bracket.

I see Baylor starting doing Baylor things. Looks like KU and WVU carrying the banner for the Big 12.

I may have spoke too soon, Baylor on a roll. Fun game.

I just remember Swanigan is a sophomore. Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????/????

@BShark Swanigan also originally committed to Sparty before decommiting and signing with Purdue.

Alright. Come on Cincy. Please stuff some Balls tonight.

@Texas-Hawk-10

That was a mess. Glad KU wasn't involved.

Go ish!

Looks like Baylor survives...3 conference teams in the Sweet 16...

@JayHawkFanToo

Excellent.

!IMG_1954.PNG ↗

Wow

@BShark Scott Drew has some class!

!13.JPG ↗

@RockChalkinTexas ha

@RockChalkinTexas That's great! I am happy that three big 12 teams made it to the sweet sixteen.

@Crimsonorblue22 = Kelly comes running up and says "Rock Chalk Jayhawk" a couple of times while his teammate is just babbling on.
!14.JPG ↗

@dylans Great minds think alike!! We must have posted this at the same time.

@BShark Good d D-1 guy, but I bet he's not big enough to be a big dog 🐶 in da L. College dominance doesn't equate to professional success. At least, not very often

Looks like the Ratface is in a battle with F Martin and his gamecocks! Love to see the pukes go down tonight. Zebras will probably have something to say about it though...

@rocketdog

South Carolina taking it to Duke even when the refs are doing their best to help Duke....they don't even try to hide anymore. Kennard with 4 fouls and South Carolina with momentum.

@JayHawkFanToo It would be an awesome win for South Carolina and Martin. Go Cocks! That just sounds bad.

@JayHawkFanToo

I don't normally go @jaybate-1.0 but when I do Duke is usually involved.

@rocketdog

SC up by 9. Coach rat face face is turning red and Duke starting to foul hard.

@JayHawkFanToo he's trying to work the refs...

only one of the checks cleared

@Bwag

Still getting most of the calls...

Let's go Cocks!

Despite all his rage, K is still just a rat in a cage!

Damn I wanna watch the Puke/SC game but don't wanna jinx SC.

@approxinfinity

Great reference.

@rocketdog 👍

@JayHawkFanToo

Of course...it's Duke.

@JayHawkFanToo said:

@Bwag

Doesn't matter when you can't keep possession if the ball.

SCar definitely has the home court advantage with their fans and the UNC fans that stayed cheering against Duke.

@brooksmd safe

UP TEN. WITH THE BALL. 3:30 TO GO.

Held ball my ass...that was a foul...

@brooksmd might miss something!

@Crimsonorblue22 Used to go to SC games when we lived in Columbia before we moved to the swamps.

@CoachK back to losing in the 32s, + your kids gonna leave you and get paid. So much for best team ever.

Duke with 18 turnovers and SCar with only 8 is why the officiating isn't impacting the outcome.

@brooksmd love Martin, watch!

@approxinfinity

Coach K losing early is about as underplayed nationally as Self losing early is overplayed.

Also KU beat this Duke team after playing an OT game on a short turnaround with long travel where KU shot like crap. SCREW DUKE.

Huge break for Duke...

And Jones is gone

SC will gave to win it at the FT line...

Garbage call.

@approxinfinity said:

Garbage call.

SURPRISE SURPRISE

Duke gets bailed out huge time by the refs...

SC took a step forward last second, good call.

Wow late whistle. Bit of a bail out, that's why the crowd matters. Make up for bad callother end

Damn Duke whistle..Frank knows....

Amile Jefferson gets most likeable Dukey award this year.

@approxinfinity

Hard worker. Happy for him that he stayed healthy.

@approxinfinity He's also been at Duke longer than Perry was at KU.

Refs trying to earn their paychecks from Duke..

@BShark agreed. Seems like a genuine, nice guy.

coach k: [wearing a wire] i may need you to [gesture] ga: sorry k: [throat cut gesture 2X] ga: kill a guy police: FREEEZE k: im sorry

That close up of Duke's logo was the epitome of the smug, arrogance of someone who paid the refs.

Love this!

Greyson Allen... Time to rise up and choke on the occasion.

I will say that appeared to be a bad call on Kennard.

Man my bracket is about to have a two flusher dumped on it but I can't be mad about this game. Always a good day when we win and Duke loses

F duke

Bye bye

Almost had NC go down too...

@JayHawkFanToo Duke is toast 🍻Frank is a legit FF threat. Good for him!!

@HawkInMizery

I will take the hit on my brackets just to watch rat face go down in flames.

@Texas-Hawk-10 No such thing as a bad call against PUKE.

@HawkInMizery lol, wash your hands and be done with it! Congrats on your first day anyway, that was memorable

@JayHawkFanToo hell yes! that's where i'm at on it too. Well worth it to see them lose.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Been a tight whistle here duke has gotten their fair share of calls.

Long live the ACC.

Is it safe?

@brooksmd 10 1:09

@kjayhawks I'm not saying Duke hasn't gotten some whistles, just the Kennard call looked like a bad call against Duke.

Who is the line whisperer going to whisper backhanded compliments to today?

Frank Martin! Love it.

@approxinfinity day and a half almost! 21 straight and 29-3 overall in the first round. Thanks :smiley: as long as we keep doing what we are doing my bracket can burn outside of that for all I care

Oh man. I know I said I was done tonight but....

ACC killing it.

Damn make them pick up the frickin' ball.

@brooksmd Are ya good 😊 pops? Haven't heard ya much lately

@brooksmd go back

@DanR said:

Frank Martin! Love it.

Imagine how KSU fans must feel....

Then laugh.

@brooksmd crap I don't know

This all in all is a good basketball day... if only kensukme would have lost as well

What a day! We win big and Duke loses!

Thank you, Frank Martin! You are the man!

Bert and the Cocks ftw

wow! what a defensive breakdown by Duke. You absolutely cannot give up a bucket like that in crunch time. I would have waited and drained a couple seconds off the clock

UCLA in a dog fight too!

@Bosthawk

Soon enough... soon enough.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Unc paid their way in lmao

@globaljaybird Yep. Been tied up babysittin' and errands for parents who don't have enough time.

Duke is gone!

Gone, gone, gone.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Bert and the Cocks ftw

Duke pounded by Cocks.

@Crimsonorblue22 I'm stayin' now.

@HawkInMizery yeah that would make it the perfect end to the day. Flattened Balls.

Gotta love me some never mind

!kennard.jpg ↗

But but but, I just can't believe we are the third best team in the Carolinas.

This is a strange year in college basketball. Up to this point, there really isn't a dominant team. And the "lower" teams are playing better and challenging everything.

Ref askin' if Frank can top ratface bribe.

But Duke definitely should have been a 1 seed.

Wow...
This is shaping up pretty well for KU today... I like our chances against Purdue

Some heavyweights are falling hard.

Definitely. Probably instead of KU or something.

This thing is opening up...I like KU's chances about as good as anyone elses.

If Duke loses I think ESPN might die.

If ucla can blow it, this will be pretty close to a perfect day. Heading to the gulf coast tomorrow for some r&r

Can't say the refs didn't try...

@KirkIsMyHinrich

Hahahahahaeeeee.... yeah. Who is left in the ACC besides UNC?

@DanR wow perfect! Where specifically ?

Duke going for the rare foul out your entire starting line-up special.

@brooksmd He offered 2 pigs & his sister ... throw in a chicken & duck & it's all good 😊.

Lets all take a second to laugh at KSU and Duke. KSU because the coach they ran outta town leads a team to their first sweet 16 and duke because I hate rat face.

What a great day.

Goodbye, Duke. Don't forget to write from nowheresville!

Down goes Duke, down goes Duke. - Howard Cosell

I love you, Frank Martin!

9 bids, only 1 survives the weekend. That's a big time choke job by the ACC.

@drgnslayr bet coach is happy for him too!

Who was the poster that kept saying the ACC was the best conference?

Atlantic Ghost Conference

@Texas-Hawk-10

The ACC was outrageously over-ranked.

Don't tell me now that all those tournament games in the state of NC haven't been beneficial to the North Carolina teams like Duke, UNC etc..

@BShark Brace yourself for incoming ACC apologists.

Looks like UCLA is starting open it up a little bit.

How's ESPN's BPI holding up at predicting the tournament? Anyone know?

@approxinfinity

I hear you. The SEC advanced 3 teams, just like the Big 12.

@drgnslayr

The Big 10 has 3 and the PAC 10 probably 3 as well...what an embarrassment for the ACC.

@Crimsonorblue22 definitely bringing ku gear. Spending a night in Austin too. Lol

@BShark said:

I don’t normally go @jaybate-1.0 but when I do Duke is usually involved.

ITS A START.

SOON, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO IT MORE AND MORE. :smiley:

@JayHawkFanToo

I think all the big hype the ACC got this year hurt them. It gave all their opponents a huge chip to take advantage of.

So. Assuming UCLA wins (which might not happen but it makes this easier), then:

ACC: (7- eight) 1 team in the Sweet Sixteen,

Big12: (8-3) 3 teams in the Sweet Sixteen,

PAC12: (8-1) 3 teams in the Sweet Sixteen,

SEC: (7-2) 3 teams in the Sweet Sixteen,

Big East: (5-5) 2 teams in the Sweet Sixteen,

Big10: (9-4) 3 teams in the Sweet Sixteen,

Which makes up 15 of the 16. The non-power conference team is the Zags.

This is as optimistic as I can recall being about our team's chances.
