@DCHawker said in Elite 8 Chat:

I will repeat - I'm more concerned with Miami than Villanova. Miami presents different and difficult match-up challenges. Unfortunately, Dave may be unplayable, as their only big is a good 3 point shooter - and not their leading rebounder. They have 3 guards that have taken 150+ 3 pt attempts. This may be a game where we need to play small - and a lot of Juan and Remy in at the same time. Will really need to guard the perimeter. Jalen and CB are enough to handle the boards if they get any help at all.

Also Nova just lost one of their two best players. Looked like an achilles injury.

He really declined this year. Woof.

Welp, gonna be Nova if we beat Miami.

I did not shed a tear for Texas, but if they would have beat Purdue it was more of an oh well for me. I have disdain for Baylor, mostly because of Drew.

@BigBad usually you pull for your conference

Not sure, but were KU fans cheering Baylor in Ft Worth?

I was pulling for every Big 12 team except Baylor this tournament.

@bskeet said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Another thought.. the assassin role has clearly moved from Ochai to Remy. Could there be another assassin in the team? JW? CB?

I feel like we still haven't seen this team's BEST game. There's always been someone injured or someone with an off-night. If this team hit on all cylinders offensively.. wow.... because the D is there.

So, it's not that Bill purposefully sandbagged Remy but it's playing out kind of brilliantly for us. Teams are still face guarding and defending Ochai really aggressively while having a weaker defender on Remy.

Remy and JWill both have that attitude. The one where they can be 1-10 and they fully believe the next shot is going in. You need guys like that.

wow

Incredible.

Early line for KU Miami is KU -6. KU has pretty high chance to win per projection models.

I say this as a kid that practically lived in after school and summer care programs for awhile!

Guarantee you Juan didn't always have a ride home. Gotta have tough guys. This is why Bill made Remy do things the right way too. Culture of toughness.

@approxinfinity said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

We dont win without Jalen. He is the best compliment to Remy we have

The wake up call was huge for JWill. He plays like a kid that didn't always have a ride home in middle school now.

@tis4tim said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Was just talking to my buddy who is an Auburn grad. Said Miami just outmuscled his team in their matchup. They play very physical apparently.

That’s the kind of team that usually sends us home. They punch and we stand there and take it.

That said, the Big 12 has us prepared this season. It’s always physical and no game is a gimme.

Proof? That 10-1 run we went on right after Providence battled back for a 1-point lead. No, we didn’t play well tonight as a whole but that right there was impressive.

This KU team gets in the mud.

Iowa St for sure but Miami looks to have awful defense

I mean they start Chuck Moore.

Well, our game Sunday will be very different depending on who wins. ISU as we know elite defensively, bad offensively. Miami is the opposite. Don't think Dave could get many minutes against Miami...

Bill Self 9 elite 8s at Kansas. That's okay.

@bskeet said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Villanova still out there lurking

Say less.

ffs

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Was that isu?

looked like Miami to me?

AN ANSWERED PRAYER

REMY MY KING

I'd prefer if they didn't score Reggie

Och was fouled

WHAT IS HAPPENING

@DCHawker said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Scary that we are passing it into Dave...

Thankfully a good result.

Huge foul

@BShark luckily Mitch has been decent on d today.

A true miracle. Maybe more so than St Peters.

It's not even under 4.

It is. Clock was messed up.

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Bullshit

I am upset with this call.

I CANT BREATH

@DCHawker said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

St Peters just won...

So happy for them.

@DanR said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

I’m watching with a couple of negative nellies . Never again

Did u come over to my house?

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Anybody here?

Having a heart attack

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Finally CB

So he is on the court. Interesting.

@DCHawker said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

35 minutes into the game and 2 buckets from our top 2 scorers....

Insanely bad, unbelievable really...

It's over sigh

Imagine getting a stop

Wow Peacocks

welp

@wissox said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

Shannon the guy from tech entered the portal, I think he'd be a nice add

Kentucky and Duke have already contacted him. Going to be a circus I imagine.

@BeddieKU23 said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

I just don't understand our end of half. I don't

Recommend that we are up by a similar amount near the end of the game to prevent a meltdown.

Just regroup at half time. Still a good lead.

Remy speaking in tongues

@DCHawker said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

2 straight way too quick 3s.....

I like it. Play to win.

Really rough shooting game so far for both teams though.

@Zabudda said in Friars vs Hawks S16 Game Thread:

How many times have we asked for someone to step up. Can't be all Remy.

Very grateful for Remy.

Anonymous Providence player on David
McCormack:

"He walked in our locker room &
walked right by me. And I'm like,
what the hell is he coming to our
locker room for? And he walked
by me and he tapped Nate Watson on
the leg, and said, 'Lace 'em up,
it's gonna be a long f--king
night.’

Really??

This is a running gag I've been doing.
