But KU is a blueblood.

The least offensive blue blood.

The least offensive blue blood.

OK

 

[UConNick]

Nothing against KU personally, I just want Maryland to win so that we stay ahead of the vaunted, blue-blooded gold standard program in Lawrence. 4>3, right?

I get that, but **** Maryland.

Nova will knock them off next game

I hate Dook as much as the next guy, but Ingram is just oozing talent. Wish we had someone like this on our roster! Very high probability that he could have the best NBA career of any Dook alum.

Ingram is nasty, there should be a debate about who goes #1 in the draft.

Rooting for Kansas because
1) my bracket (final four still intact OK, KU, IN, VA)
2) their obnoxious fans at MSG
3) did I mention their annoying fans at MSG??

 

[Jaker]

I like Ingram and Bryce Johnson from UNC

Oregon wearing out Dook

 

[Robertelamin]

Trimble would drive me nuts as a Maryland fan.

 

[Jaker]

We should of offered Stones father a job like UA did.

 

[B1GEast]

If we had Stone, we might still be playing

 

[superjohn]

Jordan Bell would have looked awesome in a UConn jersey, kid is so athletic and active.

 

[superjohn]

The announcers are taking about Grayson Allen getting tripped, he tripped himself and then flopped on the floor.

 

[Matrim55]

KU is killing Maryland on the boards (40-25). Not as bad as they killed us (44-24), but it's not that far off.

I'm officially at "I'll be surprised if Kansas doesn't win the whole thing" status.

 

[Jaker]

KU's front court is deep and they have not even played Chiek Diallo. LOL

 

[champs99and04]

The more I watch Kansas, the more confident I am that we could still be playing with a different draw. Hopefully playing a team like them is something that makes this group better.

This Villanova team is really good, but something tells me they'll regret losing the BET & Philadelphia on Saturday.

 

[JimHurley]

Nova and Kansas are both very good. Should be a great game.

A defensive frontcourt of Brimah and Jordan Bell would have been ridiculous, program really took an L there. I know we have heard the dream school stuff before and it didn't happen but at the time of his recruitment that one seemed there for the taking.

 

[Jaker]

It's almost like KU has a couple extra players

Lucas's development is so impressive. He was a total afterthought coming into that class -- the 220th overall recruit according to 247 -- and here he is in his junior year chewing up lottery picks and spitting them out.

At keast we didn't get that silly jayhawk chant. MD really gave up in the last few minutes.

If I remember he was there for the taking, wasn't the thinking we weren't taking any chances on kids at that point and we thought there might be academic red flags with Bell? We dodged several bullets but he's a kid I would have loved to have at UConn.

 

[Stainmaster]

I know college basketball isn't transitive, and the fact that we lost still sucks, but we did keep it closer than a UMD team with a ton of hype.

Yeah, that kid being as good as he is caught me off guard. I knew their top four would be a handful, but he really just makes them so much tougher. Felt like he got 20 offensive rebounds against us.

Meanwhile, I think if you swap Johnny Jones with coach K, this Duke team is in the NIT.
