Watched some of the WV Florida game replay. Did you know Konate is 9/21 from 3 this year?

@tundrahok Fitting. Literally, Villanova means "New Settlement"
@DCHawker nailed it!
Is it too much to think that KU is college basketball? That were our program to transgress into moral turpitude, or that our rules be stolen by money-wagging devils blue, or our team to slip into mediocrity and fail to qualify for the tourney, whilst diaper dandies dance for other coaches and announcers laud their praise... That something would be lost for ALL of college basketball, whether they see it now or not?
We are the torch bearers! We keep the sport in balance by being a fair and balanced giant, leading by example. Always have been, and should always be.

I think of Indiana as a Blue Blood sort of like faded aristocracy in a Faulkner novel. Respect must be paid, but the power and energy connoted by the term is more in the memory than in the reality.
Love this.
What. Are. You. DOING???????
You sure this team is gonna mop the floor with us @BShark ? I'm not feeling it.
9 now with 7 min left
@dylans Coach K = Shaka
@Kcmatt7 I thought McCants was a pretty scrappy bench guy for them as well. Seemed to give us problems.
@BShark I cant see how he keeps him here at this rate. Second game where the announcers said he might be the fastest kid in the class.
@BShark will Charlie and McBride be enough when Dotson leaves us? I can't remember, do we have another likely PG commit?
I would really like this team to put our best foot forward in the first half instead of coming out looking like hot poop on a stick.
@wrwlumpy Nice Lumpy! We got this one?
@Woodrow So good. He is able to throw a football like point guards can throw a basketball (no look) and shortstops can throw a baseball (cross body, midair, with body spinning opposite direction). He's in a class by himself, revolutionary.
Barry Sanders, second place.
Mahomes is the most fun football player I've ever watched.
Here's the ballgame. Get this stop!
@JayHawkFanToo I'm assuming our defense sucks statistically and UVA's doesn't?
UVA is what UVA will be. A solid, defense first, grinding team, with average athleticism.
We are amorphous, we could be any team's worst nightmare in the tournament. We also could struggle against teams that UVA could put away with their D. Our ceiling on offense is much higher than UVA's. Our ceiling on defense is possibly higher, but our floor is much lower.
Nice post.
I will say that one thing seems obvious here -- Self has played the right guys each game. He's ID'd the guys that will give us the winning formula, from Garrett a few games back, to Lightfoot last night. That's the biggest reason we're undefeated.
I like this, and should keep this in mind. You're right. Self knows these guys and what wins games. You know, one of the interviews earlier this year with Mitch was telling to me, prior to the Michigan State game. Mitch said that there were several things they hadn't shown yet that they were saving for Michigan State. If we can remain optimistic (and there really is no reason not to. we're undefeated and have a top 5 coach and top 5 talent, even if we like to pretend it isn't), we can look at the early commitment to the High Low as us working on the more difficult offense in our bag, and doing it while still winning games, because we can. The 4-1 was always there, and will always be there. Maybe Self just didn't want to lead with it. Like the Nitro button in a sports car. It's there.
Another thing, it had seemed to me that Doke was causing issues for Dedric. And I know many felt we might play better without Doke (including me). We may need another theory.
I was there with you. We know Dedric can operate at a high level offensively, but its pretty clear he can't be the 5 when we need stops. And maybe its on Dedric more-so than Doke to figure out how to work with Doke. If Dedric is the high bball IQ guy that we all think he is, then he could well figure out how the two can operate, space a little differently instinctively, and talk talk talk to Doke.
DeSousa .... just dreaming.
I will continue to dream.
Walton didn't comment on the game for seriously like 15 minutes then yells "MOSES BROWN TOO STRONG TOO GOOD". Then back to talking about other stuff. Amazing how fried he is.
@Big-Clyde52 If I were a UCLA fan Id be so pissed if I had to listen to Walton all the time.
Digger Phelps and Bill Walton frenemy squabbling about the day Notre Dame beat Woodens UCLA
"Is that really Digger Phelps? I thought you were dead"
@Big-Clyde52 and Mitch. Got the call, delivered.
@Crimsonorblue22 oh. I thought you were commenting on his appearance.
@Crimsonorblue22 he looks like he's also the NMSt hockey coach.
@Crimsonorblue22 lol
Wow nmst is bad at FTs
We aren't bad at D we just choose not to do it. We got this.
@Crimsonorblue22 NOICE!
Noice
Remember there was a run when Lawson had 11 straight..... Right. Now
Look at Dedric getting torched on the rebound...
Good shot attempt by Mitch, dumb foul
At least Mccants is getting all the punishment he can handle right now.
DEDRIC HATES AGGIES.
If Mitch could just hit the 3 he could be the perfect compliment to Dedric
@tis4tim I'm with you. Barring connecting on the rest of their 3s
DEDRIC TIME
Beautiful timing on that board by Dedric. More of that.
All work and no play makes New Mexico State a dull boy!
Umm. I meant to post that once.

Sweet stroke Vick. Finally looks like his real form.
