Furphy's on the floor, but looks like he got the wind knocked out of him by another Kansas guy.

When you shoot like he shouts, you can afford to be confident.

My wife likes St Peter’s, Longwood, the Gamecocks and Chandler Bing in her Final 4

Good thing she said no to Morehead.

got crushed between two guys. KU size advantage is just massive. With Harris handling the ball and ability to throw over the press, they negate it better than I hoped.

CaIipari takes all the credit for wins (at least when I can remember that far back) and deflects all the blame for losses. What a stone cold loser.

Kentucky may eventually ”out-talent” Oakland, but their offensive and defensive schemes are mediocre and vanilla. It’s semi-organized pick-up ball.

The studio guys interviewed Cal and he was bragging about all the guys he’s had drafted and how they’ve made “4 billion dollars” in the NBA.

You want to prep guys for the league go coach OTE or in the G League. But he’s coaching a college team and appears to have no interest in the college game.

He realized long ago that’s how to market himself, cuz he ain’t out-coaching anyone.

I’ve been on this “Cal is an awful coach” train since Memphis days

Has anyone ever done that in a major conference tourney before?!

At least Ernie Johnson knew the answer.

Maybe Kentucky will hire Pitino. He could get a new most unenjoyable experience in his life.

 

[UCfor3]

Only the lunatic fringe and the dopes.

 

[MexicoHusky]

Feels like NC State is the better team. Getting better looks.

[AzHusky]

The big guy from NC state is quick.

At thIs point, going from St John’s to Kentucky is a lateral move.

Take the Squid into the deep waters, and he will drown every time.

Thoughts on the Day.

11s seem to be the new 12s

Most teams run horrible offense. Our offense is just so far ahead of some of these teams. Even Nevada coached by Alford was running 20 year old ISO stuff. Other than Kansas right now I haven’t seen any real passing/motion offense. I didn’t watch every game.

 

[uconngb]

This squid interview is the worst, basically blaming the players for "not playing the way they can play"

Lololol

They just called an offensive foul on DJ Burns’ arse. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that before.

Classic Calipari….

What a major D I C K

It’s early, but Self is really good with time to prepare. Jayhawks look ready for this. I worry about fatigue and what happens when they go to the bench.

Self is a really good coach for sure. Kansas could have been a Fianl Four threat with McCullar. Dickinson has been successful against Edey so he wouldn’t be fazed going against him. Without MCCullar I just don’t see Kansas going to the Final Four since their rotation wasn’t all that deep to begin with.

Tim Duncan used to do that all the time

If I didn’t know better, I’d say you were flipping off the Mojo right now.

Who hasn’t been?? The guy is literally the biggest fraud in college bb and has been for over a decade

I agree. This game worried me because Samford is deep and forces turnovers. But with McCullar out they are really a huge team. Can just throw over the press. Harris is still a wizard ball handler too. They could still beat Purdue, IF they get shooting from the guards. But Tennessee? They can’t hang with Tennessee.
