@JayHawkFanToo Hollywood would change it like they did for another movie with a KU regional final....
@Bosthawk They got a lot of criticism for that choice. I just always remember because it reminded me so much of Kirk passing up the shot in 2003.
@Bosthawk Our memories fool us. Actually, Curry didn't take the last shot. Their other guard did, Jason Richardson.
@jayballer73 I think UK finished with 26 wins, and we have 31, so we have gained 5. Hoping to get to 7!
@BeddieKU23 Nice. Ability to analyze like this explains your bracket challenge standing!

Maybe our game with Nova will also determine the Naismith Award winner?

@Blown Sorry--in a giddy mood today!
@JayHawkFanToo You really have to stop for the night, bypassing doesn't leave you there.
I have 3 of 4. I have two entries as Mayjay, and the third is Thing2. Made that one for my group with my brother. 99.4 percentile, and still only in 3rd place! Go Beddie and Eric-san!
@Crimsonorblue22 Going South on that map seems to be the route but there are short cuts or more scenic routes depending on how fast you want to go, and whether you are with anyone who wants to take pictures on the way.
And I am done before I get in real trouble here. That Crimson, she is a trouble-maker!

@mayjay can't resist, does it take a map?🤣
Heck, yeah, and all those labels help!
@dylans I believe you end up in Blue Ball if you stop on the way to Intercourse and from there it is just a short way to Paradise. Here, take a look:
@JayHawkFanToo That was bad, but I thought the worst was saying "we" all expected KU and Villanova to get there when, as the comments point out, 26 out of 27 ESPN "experts" predicted we would NOT get there.

Article discusses alternate's responsibilities and specifically mentions keeping track of fouls.
@dylans The alternate is supposed to follow those things, too.
@StLJhawk From November to April...I live in such a universe.
@BShark Fine line for Trae between chucking it up, and up-chucking.
@Blown No need for us to rehash this one. The comments on the article say it all, so we don't need to numb ourselves typing up the obvious--article author is an idiot.

@KUSTEVE ROUGH year for elpoyo and the FFs instead of winning the conference title crowd. That logic never made a lick of sense, because if the conference is complete crap how on earth is KU going to win a title while not winning the league?
Made the team realize what fighting to prevail really required.
Any team that thinks they can turn it on later is doomed.
@Blown Coleby, Whitman, and Maxwell.
The difference between Boeheim's zone and Duke's zone was something that is not technical. It is the result of K giving up on his players' failure to play M2M. And that left these freshmen incapable of making the necessary adjustments yesterday.
It actually brings to mind two things that @HighEliteMajor has suggested in the past when he has criticized Self (1) for seeming to be coaching to win the conference rather than post-season, and (2) for being so stubborn not to adjust to the talents of his teams. I haven't agreed with him but those twin thoughts provide a great framework for Duke's abysmal response to our attack.
Here is how those things apply: First, K adopted the zone because he was focusing on how the vaunted recruiting class was being left in the ACC dust early on. Virginia's stifling defense was overwhelming opponents, and K wanted to try something. The Syracuse zone appeared to be an answer because Boeheim always has length, and so does Duke in spades this year, and it helped even up the slow games ACC teams are forced into with conference leader Virginia. It put Duke back in contention--with Virginia and UNC, but not for the long haul.
But the second point relates to K's strategy and highlights a huge difference between him and Self. K made the move, as I suggested, not because of what his team could do but because of what they wouldn't do, and that is buy into K's long held M2M strategy. Self's stubornness would have had him blow gasket after gasket rather than total trash his entire philosophy of D. He might be willing to give a zone a try for situational circumstances (fouls, or to force an offense out of rythym) but he isn't going to give up.
K failed to force the talent on his team to its highest levels. (Compare Self's approach to Malik that has resulted in him becoming a star.) Instead, he adopted the lowest common denominator. A zone like Boeheim's is not successful all the time, but it is far more nuanced than freshmen can be expected to perfect mid-season. He has used it literally for decades. K's zone was ad hoc--and like much ad hoc strategizing, left no room or time or practice for making adjustments to unseen circumstances. Like us.
A final note: I think other teams saw Duke's adoption of the zone as a monster development as if these future pros were now going to be able to just blanket everybody. They were intimidated by thinking it was brilliant. Self seems to have realized that it was really a flashing neon sign of weakness--of all that great talent going to waste.
@Gunman I remember!
@approxinfinity It is just distorted coming out of the HOF hallways where so many other Jayhawk voices resonate.
@Kcmatt7 Bill worked a year for LB as a grad asst I believe. Not a playing connection, but his respect for KU tradition is so deep that it had to really take flower then. Exposed to it as an OSU visiting player, but immersed in it under LB. That is a pretty good connection.
@JayHawkFanToo Yes! Will always remember him on crutches at the end.
@Blown But they missed a bunch of rebounding fouls by Duke so it evens out. He was moving left, and the refs don't get to see it again and again like we did. It was so close to when our guy went into the air that it could have easily been seen the other way. The replay shows that Carter actually had no need to move his right foot--it looked like a bigger move because he is so long.

Jerrod Hasse...
Well, now we are only counting ones who made it to a F4.
@StLJhawk Just played the end of regulation on the CBSSports replay. Man, even though I know what happened it still bumps my adrenaline level way too high!
@BShark @HighEliteMajor So, the Lawsons have to continue the F4 tradition of transfers. Walters, Stewart, Young, Withey, Newman,...Lawsons?
@wissox Duke was stunned, so that headline was accurate! Maybe if they had paid closer attention to something other than their press clippings, they would not have been.
@Crimsonorblue22 Remember, he gets 1 bonus point from K for every opposing player he tripped.
@Gunman Our defense doesn't get the respect TT did.
@jayballer73 Broadcast is at the 13:28 mark of 2nd half with us up 48-47. Hope it ends the same way on replay as it did live!
@HighEliteMajor Rex Walters, too.
@CRH107 The biggest take I got from that article was how much Newman's father totally supported everything Self did. He was certainly not like X Henry's dad.
National Semifinals– Saturday, March 31
6:09 p.m. EST, TBS, San Antonio
No. 11 Loyola vs. No. 3 Michigan (Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery, Tracy Wolfson)
Approximately 40 minutes after conclusion of first game, TBS, San Antonio
No. 1 Villanova vs. No. 1 Kansas (Jim Nantz, Grant Hill, Bill Raftery, Tracy Wolfson)
@JayHawkFanToo They probably have new ones and maybe some old, too. Their bookstore said they had a shipment of 500 one day last week when I first read about it.
@JayHawkFanToo They have done bobbleheads of her twice before over the last 10 to 15 years. These are re-issues.
Game being rebroadcast on CBSSPORTS network starting right now for anyone who wants to relive or tape it.
@Bosthawk In addition to Rex Walters I mentioned in the other thread, there was Withey.
@truehawk93 Nova is better than Duke and proved it all season. So what?
@Bosthawk A transfer named Rex Walters who helped take us to the F4 in 1993 cannot be forgotten!
@kjayhawks Thank you for that clip of Al Pacino! Watched it while taping the intro. Now I have 5 mins of taped show so maybe I can skip a couple of those freakingly annoying ATT/Direct TV ads.

I would of enjoy seeing Allen throw a tantrum and get a T just as Dook is about to lose as a nice way to remember him by
I want to see him try tripping Doke and then see him looking around trying to figure out where his missing foot went.
@Kcmatt7 How many times did a TT guy turn down an open 3 receiving a pass, and then dribble up and shoot a contested 2 with no one even trying to get the rebound? Even those shots with 1 minute left, no one but no one was crashing the boards. They looked like a freshman team in the first scrimmage.
@wissox I didn't like the officiating much, especially with the amount of inside contact allowed. But TT played worse than the refs reffed. I just think if there was a change in how the fouls were going that the refs really don't give a crap about TBS's ratings in the F4! And if I thought the reffing was the result of manipulation I never would watch.
6 offensive rebs by Paschall. I have thought a lot of his rebounds were highly offensive!

Paschall fouling inside everytime.
Lots of over the backs not being called. TT seems to have forgotten how to box out. So many O rebs for V.
