@wissox they called a carry on Frank Thursday...
@DoubleDD Can we change the thread title with something specific to the game now that we've arrived so there's no confusion that this is the official unofficial game thread?
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww shnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppp
Lol
I'm @ a drive thru atm. You talk, I'll listen.
Love it.
How many hours does Bill spend at the board?
[At the board](
Oregon of Dumb
@jaybate-1.0 why have I not been betting on Kansas all this time? :facepalm:
@mayjay lol, nice work.
In most years, I'd argue that the fate of the Big 12 affects whether recruits want to play in the league (are the games televised? are the matchups hyped up? is the media following the team?), and where the selection committee places us based on RPI or whatever metrics they decide to use,
But this year, Kansas Basketball is transcendent: POY front-runner, dynamic offense, sneaky good defense, exploding in radiant colors in March, and still ESPN is luke-warm at best to what is happening. So I don't know. Big 12 matters, but maybe not to the point where we have to root for teams we personally don't usually like, just because.
I'll root for Huggins, among others, though. I like him.
that looked good for a sec
@cragarhawk HOLY SH*T!
wow 3 pt game!
5 pt game. they got a decent press?
@approxinfinity think he didnt like getting told to "get that sh-- out" when the Florida guy blocked him. Settle Down Nigel.
@wissox Hayes is playing like he's lost his mind.
@brooksmd They've run out of excuses.
Buzzer, End Scene. Peace out Ball.
Frank is 5:42 away from being POY.
@Lulufulu Word, except they forgot #BIFM:
...and the Ducks allow a higher percentage of shots from three-point range (37.7 percent) than the Jayhawks normally take (35.7 percent), indicating we could see Kansas’s three-headed, spot-up shooting monster of Graham, Mykhailiuk and Jackson with more opportunities than expected.
@wissox the next two should be good. who wins Kentucky UCLA? Your Badgers match up against Florida?
ugh. the two good games are soooo late!
@Hawk8086 WVU shot 28% or whatever and lost by a bucket, at least that one was close.
@BeddieKU23 it looks that way doesn't it.
@Blown I know I know. But the fact that we won on a razor's edge all season in conference and then go nuclear on the rest of the world in the tourney might just speak volumes enough for the Big 12.
I'm split, think I may be rooting for Frank Martin here.
@drgnslayr @justanotherfan @Fightsongwriter You guys are absolutely right on about that dunk. Coming out party. Vick is going to be a monster next year. And that dunk made me immediately think of the T the game before.
You could see the look on his face. He had landed the plane, the recognition in his eyes. I did it. Now just get out, no mouthing off.
It was awesome!
Frank Martin smiling looks more surreal than Crying Jordan.
@jaybate-1.0 We've had this jumping passing lane d all season, and surely Bill knew that. JJ has been doing it for a while, and Dwight's shown the knack to front the entry pass before, but Mason, Devonte and Vick have been restrained on that front.
I'm assuming it's for two reasons.
- We conserved our energy through the season, and Self knew he didn't have to do it to win games.
- He was hiding it.
Surely after 2008 he knew that while Mario (in this case, JJ) was a passing lane jumping savant, it took Russ Rob and Sherron (in this case, Devonte and Vick) jumping the other side to really dig the screws in. In addition, bigs jumping (fronting) the entry pass.
He knew he had the personnel, from the moment he said "and we certainly know what Josh can do" (paraphrase) at the beginning of the season, and he was saving it.
I am reminded of a crappy old jeweler's ad (that's not descriptive, I know; they're all crappy), where the dude gives his woman diamonds and she says, her voice faux faltering "I love this man". Bill Self gave us fans diamonds last night. He'd been saving his paychecks.
I love this man.
@brooksmd last night's second half reminds me of Usain Bolts WR run. He's coasting at the end, maybe slowing down but with his momentum, still moving faster than ANY MAN!
@drgnslayr 100% The media is a bunch of savage drama pyromaniacs and the fans are all roasting marshmallows this time of year. Don't feed the fire Roy!
@BShark Roy says ACC was by far the best league this year.
Frank is now at 1838 career pts, putting him past Valentine for #6.
1 Danny Manning 20.1 2951
2 Nick Collison 14.8 2097
3 Raef LaFrentz 15.8 2066
4 Clyde Lovellette 24.7 1979
5 Sherron Collins 13.2 1888
6 Darnell Valentine 15.4 1821

Sorry so small.. so many people played for us :smile:
Keep Dancin' Frank!
@Texas-Hawk-10 and enough gas left to dance.
Self gave the ball to Vang so TO on Vang, lol.
Tyler shot clock violation again?
Mitch Don't Care.
And then there was just one POY imposter remaining.
@Bwag just wish WVU had pulled it out. Imagine what Huggie's offense would look like if he got some recruits like Kenyon Martin, OJ Mayo, Michael Beasley or Bill Walker on that team.
This is starting to get awkward. Feeling bad for Purdue. Put the bench in and call it a day.
The world is ready for Frank Mason. ESPN was not.
Reggie finally said something right "Kansas' offense is demoralizing"
Shut up Tae! That's just MEAN
Don't be a Haashole dude.
We're not just outrunning them, our hands are faster, ripping balls / passes away. this is great.
@STOOPS Founders and Bell's?
Purdue does have plenty of time, but at this pace, they're all going to foul out.
