I'm glad KSU was stupid. Hell of a coach.

@BShark love that guy! Love his jacket! 😉

There are 2 former KSU head coaches in the Final Four this year. Just let that sink in.

Frank Martin is at least someone most of us here respect as a coach even when he was at KSU, but it still sucks that there's two former KSU coaches in the Final Four this year.

@Texas-Hawk-10

At this point I would love to see South Carolina and Oregon face off just to see KSU fans be extra sad.

And yeah I'm cheering for Oregon. ESPECIALLY if UK wins today.

Martin doubled his salary.

@BShark Can't cheer for Oregon under any circumstance as long as Altman and his classless a$$ is their coach. I hope former KU HC Roy Williams or former KU assistant John Calipari beats his a$$ by 50 next Saturday night.

Absolutely congrats to Martin. As far as moving forward in the tournament I feel like I have to do what I consider to be the classy thing and that's root for Roy. Which is what he would do if we were still in and he were out.

Gonzaga - first time final four.
Oregon - first FF since 1939 - 78 years ago.
South Carolina - first time in.

This is why it's so great ... and this is why it's almost impossible to pick.
You can't just be a good team on paper, you have to find a way to not have a bad game, be lucky, and catch magical momentum.

@Bosthawk or play really good defense.

Well, I remember when SC tied for the SEC lead I predicted a second weekend in the tourney. Then after the quadruple OT loss to Alabama during their swoon, I backed away. Good thing Frank and his guys didn't lose faith!

Poor KState: Not one but two former KSU coaches taking teams to the Final Four.

If South Carolina wins, the championship game will feature an ex K-State coach verses an ex KU coach. Yikes.
