[Marat]

Kansas fans (on their Phog board) scared of UConn already.

Austin Peay is the 16th seed. I think you'll get your wish

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

We will be relaxed. We have nothing to lose and will play out of our minds. On the other hand Kansas have the burden of expectation. I love it! lol

And this could be a huge showing for us concerning conference affiliation. I will be happy if we at least make it a nail biter.

This is what Kansas fans think of UConn "mid-major" I can't wait

Well they are struggling with a mid major right now, so they shouldn't be talking.

A Mid-Major that has more national championships than them. LOL what does that make them? A DII team?

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

I'll be honest. I'd rather play Austin Peay.

Anyone who dares to say I want to beat the best needs their head examined! LOL

I know it's popular to rip on him but Bill Self is a really really good coach. This is the least talented team to ever be the number one overall seed.

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Kansas is really good. But they don't overwhelm you with talent or athleticism.

Ellis is the key but I think Miller and brimah can slow him down.

Graham and mason are very quick and definitely good. But nothing we haven't seen before.

Selden is Rodney purvis 2.0. Has flashes or brilliance but is inconsistent and can be out of Control. And purvis can definitely shut him down.

Overall I don't really see a guy who can take over the game.

If we can turn them over and get a few fast break points we can definitely beat them.

Wait, we have more national championships than Kansas?

I will freely admit to rooting for injuries to opponents star players (not serious, but enough to have them miss the game). I always laugh when people say "I want to face their A lineup.' Liars!

seconded. and thirded.

4>3

One of their 3 was a Wilt Chamberlain title from 1812 or whenever. In the more scientific measurement of "titles since I've been old enough to pay attention to them", we are up 4-2.

They kick our ass in runner-up finishes, though.

I will accept a forfeit also and celebrate it.

No, they never won with Wilt.

 

[Gurleyman]

No, they never won with Wilt.

Yeah - I guess 1952 was pre-Wilt.

My parents were born that year and are both retired.

 

[UConn_Top_Dog]

Wow... Austin Peay sucks bad... Maybe Kansas will get lazy after playing inferior competition.

 

[8893]

Carry on our wayward sons!

(I hate Kansas, but the song fits us better than them this season)

Second is the first loser
