Elite 8 thread

They ought to show more KU crowd shots.

Seems to be a high deebag per capita rate

 

[gsmooth]

Absolutely yes.

Have always hated them both. To me UNC and Duke are almost interchangeable (although I do like Hubert Davis as their HC).

100%. On an equal level I don’t want to see either of them win championship.

Plenty of time left. Not a dagger. and we seen many comebacks this early in the 2nd half.

But does Miami have what it takes to come back from this? Hmm. not sure

I don't want them to come back either. lol

Not the nail in the coffin, but it was certainly a heartbreaker for Miami.

 

[gsmooth]

Anybody else watching this? This is what I meant when I said they played soft in the first half. This is more like it. KU normally an aggressive team on offense. Crowd helps.

UConn needs to do more of this with the long passes ahead and aggressive moves before the defense is set.

Well, UConn used to do this all the time in the 90s and 2000s

 

[Hoophound]

Would you rather UConn lose to St Peter’s in the championship game or lose to a more well known program in the semi’s?

Miami has 11 points this half.

Kansas just blew their wheels off in this second half.

Yeah this is over.

Well, at least no 3 ACC teams in Final Four.

 

[8893]

The elephant in the room is that the ACC may tie the Big East record of 3 teams in the F4. Why is no one emphasizing this?

This is why.

 

[BugsyCT]

Nova will have their hands full with this KU team.

 

[gsmooth]

Wow, it looks like a Creighton team without Kalkbrenner gave KU its toughest match so far.

 

[gsmooth]

Nova will have their hands full with this KU team.

If Kansas plays D like this, yes they will even with Justin Moore. Plus, it looks like Kansas knows how to force a faster tempo like those 90s and 2000s UConn teams. Nova cannot play fast, they have to play at their slow pace.

 

[Jaker]

The fact that the NCAA has not cracked down on Self and Kansas shows that it has Zero credibility these days.

 

[mussels]

Miami looks almost like they’re a 10 seed or something.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Walk ons in on both sides. Not common in an Elite 8 game.

I knew about Ochai and McCormack and Braun, but IMO their best player in the tournament has been Martin. I never knew about how good this guy was.

 

[BugsyCT]

KU outscored UM 47-15 2nd half

 

[mauconnfan]

Now the cheating Self is added to the K fest God what an awful FF especially with Moore hurt for Nova.

Let’s go Peakcocks !!!!

I dislike Duke and Kansas as much as the next person, and I get that they generally have really good/great talent, but man they are both fun to watch. I feel like watching us the last 5-10 years is like watching paint dry. Yes, I fully understand we have won playing that way but it is just so ugly at times.

Martin improved them a ton especially playing what seems to be more efficiently than he had as a Sun Devil or even early in the year.

Going to be hard to find someone to root for.

Watching Kansas dismantle Miami shows me just how far away we are to being back there.

In hindsight we really weren’t that good this year.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

With an injury plagued Villanova and a bunch of teams I hate left in the tournament, it is time to catch up on streaming.

Give a heads up when you've posted on it in the Entertainment forum.

 

[AntG168]

Watching our peers(Kansas, Duke, Nova) play deep into March is making me even more hungry for next season. We need to get back there.
