That's just me. Maybe they lost 8 games for reasons only you can explain. |

But they were freshmen, and they stopped fighting. We had seniors who realized early on what this game was. Outside of Grayson Allen, Duke didn't understand what a dog fight the elite 8 is. They kept waiting for the game to be put away. Even at the end, they just sloughed off guarding the inbounds. That's 18 year olds who are 5 seconds away from their NBA careers starting. That was the difference. |

Not sure if they'll follow that same route for the next game or open it up earlier. I'd recommend getting there earlier than what I did. Cash bar, FYI. And I'd park a few blocks away from Mass Street if you hope to leave anytime that evening. |

I predicted KU would lose to Duke, because I always pick KU to win... so I switched it around, Garcia Bronco reverse mojo style.
is there any place to watch this game online as an archive? I got an airplane to Kiev and saw the first 30 minutes of the game... I'd love to watch the OT before this weekend. tw |

By what logic did us losing 7 games and them losing 8 prove your point that KUs talent is materially better than Dukes besides them having a ****ing assload more draft able players than we do when the draft is largely based on raw talent and measurables?

Powerade Jam Fest on ESPN2 if you need some basketball action. Dotson just sunk a half court shot for some team shoot out thing. Part of McDonald's All American week.

Hootie has missed something even more obvious in his futile attempts to disprove the efficacy of KenPom.
The reason why it might underrate KU isn't because of Malik, it is that KU could be a better defensive team in the tournament than their statistical profile indicates. In contrast to the regular season grind where the team basically only played 6 players for 4 months and those 6 players had to conserve energy in such games in order to stay/play in them, they are exerting far more effort on the defensive end because of the stage/significance/finality of the games. Note that this still wouldn't change the fact that Villanova is a superior team in all facets, that Kansas is the clear underdog in Saturday's game, or that an incredible game will be necessary to pull off this upset, but it is something that hasn't been mentioned yet. |
