They are with KUs best player out, yes. That said, Jayhawks aren’t deep, played a late game Thursday and these games are at high altitude. Wouldn’t surprise me if they fade down the stretch. Self has done a better job of playing the bench today, he knows it’s a problem.

Agree. he's the type of player that greatly tilts the scales.

Terrible defense all around. It's too bad Dickinson plays no defense because he's ultra skilled offensively.

Yeah, I didn't know he was THIS lackluster. I'm surprised

He’s worse against bigs that can shoot. He’s not terrible if he can sit in the paint, but super slow recovering from outside. Offensively he’s the best big in the country.
 
Gonzaga is just playing Gonzaga's game, particularly on offense. Kansas, on the other hand, is not a great team offensively with McCullar, and may have trouble maintaining this offensive pace.

Kansas depth problems are starting to show here. Kansas starters milking minutes to stay on floor. I guess they have no choice.

They are the UConn women of the Men's tourney

Shooting issues aren’t helping. Missing layups. Just awful.

Kansas may have a run in them, but this Gonzaga run feels fatal.

It is not a run. Gonzaga just keeps scoring.

To beat Gonzaga, you have to be efficient offensively, which means not taking crazy shots, because if a team is patient offensively, they will get some good looks against the Zags. But wasting possessions against Gonzaga is deadly, because they are so methodically efficient when they have the ball.
 
Better defensive lineup in now. Still need to score.

Michigan state has never played UNC??? What???? That can't be right

Let's Go Marquette, Creighton, UNC, TX, and Zags!!!

Would make UConn schedule look even better with 9 wins against Sweet 16!

Serious question: if KU goes out, is it easier for you mentally to only have 1 team to worry about?
Expand ...
No. It’s never been a problem. I’m all in on the Huskies no matter what. Wasn’t expecting much today. Was happy with the first half.

Salt Lake City is 4327’ above sea level. Spokane is 1843‘ above sea level, and Lawrence is 991’ above sea level.

No clue of that additional 852 feet are helping Gonzaga, but it sure as hell isn’t hurting them.
