The constant car horn in the OnStar commercial made me think the game was back on with that crappy buzzer.

@wissox lol, wow man, just WOW :)
Wellp. So... was the message to come out and have fun tonight? Not having any fun.
"I love how Brunson throws shoulders into people to get space"
That was a foul?
Wow that's bullshit.
Shuffle shuffle dunk.
Travel.
They're dictating pace, and their pace is faster than our pace. If we thought we going to disrupt their pace we were dead wrong, because they don't need longer possessions when the corner three is always open. If we can't stay in front of our man, and then can't switch to get out on shooter, every posession in 10 seconds or less for them.
Can we see that block again?
Wow Devonte. Great control.
Nice move. Hang in this, ccontest, and they will cool off.
Oh god.
Here we go. Punching back now.
Not worried about contested ones. thats alright.
Nuts for you!
First travel is free, second one gets called.
That's alright, appreciate Malik's aggressiveness. Lead the way Malik!
Alright guys... I want you all to get around me a circle, now look to the left of you and punch that guy in the gut...
That was the first one that was contested.
Yeah, Marcus is not helpful atm.
Every time they drive baseline they're leaking out to corner. Every time we don't go with them.
Lets. Get. Stops.
Can we guard that short corner pls?
We need to take advantage of what we can control. We're not doing that.
Someone drive that VW Beetle out of the stadium.

@BeddieKU23 That's assuming that Doke is capable of getting out on Paschall, just being lazy. I'm not sure he can.
@BShark not only not forcing it inside, Doke clearly can't guard Paschall outside.
Feels like we've been outcoached thus far. Game plan with Doke not working. forcing it.
@Eric-san almost any time a site gives you a certain number for free, all you have to do is read it in incognito mode, or clear cookies on your browser to reset it.
I guess this is the danger that comes with being the faster team trying to establish pace.
Orbital fracture and concussion. Likely out 2-4 weeks, putting their playoffs in jeopardy :-/
Not really Fultz's fault, freak bad luck thing, though I could see how unfamiliarity with mannerisms might have had something to do with it.

Despite taking an enormous 47.1 percent of their shots from beyond the arc, Villanova has not pushed tempo: The Wildcats rank 225th in the country in average length of offensive possession, at 17.8 seconds, according to KenPom.com. Michigan ranks 311th at 18.7 seconds. And Loyola comes in 285th at 18.4. It makes sense for Loyola to slow pace, since underdog teams are best served by minimizing possessions and leaning on variance to carry them over more talented opponents. But a team like Villanova, more talented than nearly all of its opponents, would be better off maximizing the number of shots taken by both its own players and its opponents. Talent wins out over time.
Kansas has maintained a standard brisk tempo over the past several seasons, ranking in the top 100 and often the top 50 in the nation since 2013 by KenPom.com’s average offensive possession length. (The Jayhawks rank lower on overall tempo because their defense typically forces opponents late into the shot clock, which is a good thing for a defense to do.) This season, Kansas is at 16.5 seconds per offensive possession, 76th in the country and miles ahead of its Final Four competition, making it the only program remaining that’s playing by the modern guidelines for overdogs: Push pace and shoot threes.
@StLJhawk I can't wait for Saturday either! At the same day I'm on a 5 day high from that win, letting that feeling run its course! Just imagining how much this team can get done in practice with a whole week.
@wissox :100: you got me with this post.
This victory validates everything:
* our blend of seasoned transfers, hardworking upperclassmen and athletic youth,
* the never-quit attitude of the players on this team,
* our annual high tournament seeding,
* Bill Self as one of the top 5 coaches of the game,
* the decision to run a clean program,
* Obi Wan Mason tweeting to Devonte Skywalker as he piloted our A-Wing to destroy the Duke Star,
* the strength of the Big 12 and the huge significance of our conference title streak,
* it even validates the refereeing of the tournament, while it bent a bit in our game, it did not break bad.
The Deep State Duke locker has been thrown open and vacated, and on the hardwood outside the doors, it is anyone's game.
We are champions, past and future, with the present right here within our grasp! No evil hex binds us, nothing cripples us, there is no better fate reserved for some other team.
Let's take it all!
Rock Chalk!
@Kcmatt7 I don't think Vick wants to be the leader. I think he would defer to someone more outspoken if he returns, even if we would be better off having his experience around the green guys. I hope he comes back; I think he could be a big help. I hope through all of his emotional ups and downs, he has had an "ah ha" moment after the win against Duke, and decided that he wants to be a Jayhawk one more year, with some sense of passage to a new stage of life with the same scenery. But it's just as likely he decides a change of scenery is the right prescription and moves on, whether it appears to be best for him from an outsider's perspective or not.
@FarmerJayhawk ha. please!
@Ziggyhawk recap video made my day!

Article says he's 9...
@wissox I initially was hiding the down button in style overrides and then the nodebb guys added a global setting to remove it. We could easily turn it back on but it would be for all threads. I think I still prefer being nice.
@BShark Glad to hear it man.
@benshawks08 Pretty impressive stuff!
Nothing but love for Coleby. Having a great season for WKU. Wishing him luck in the Semis!
They probably are thinking "man, that De Sousa kid is legit!"
@jaybate-1.0 do you usually stay partial nights in motels? lol
Nobody pinch me! Let the dream go on!

@BigBad Thanks for sharing that! Great listen this morning.
