ENJOY A RELAXING DAY OF BASKETBALL!!!
The only consistent thing about them has been their inability to beat great/ v good teams.
I don't wanna play Kansas at all.
Yeah they've looked very good in the last 5 minutes
...looks like a 30 year old man.
with a 50 year old's hairline
...double wide LeBron James headband can't take care of.
Kansas at their best >>> any other team at their best......but Kansas coasts for long periods of time.
Could also say that UNC at their worst is worse than any other team at their average. Take a gander at UNC's field goal percentage. Once Kansas started hitting, UNC started panicking and turning the ball over, and it got out of hand.
and i know what you did you hurt this program squeaked by to live another day.
Welp. At least there's walking dead
"Kansas has finally figured out how to attack a smaller, quicker defense" -- uh-oh.
This smaller, quicker defense."
Yeah, I didn't want to hear that.
Now 45-12.
will someone promise to kill me?
Tubby suuuuuuuuucks.
These games are over.
FGCU time?
Kansas is still not a great team - they have quite a few issues. Any team can get into a positive feedback loop and dominate a game against an equal or lesser team (see Michigan - VCU). The reason they have had as much success this year as they have is largely due to Bill Self (who is one of my favorite coaches). I would have preferred our opponent to be UNC, but since it is likely to be Kansas our best bet is to get a couple of early fouls on Withey. We need to go at him early with our bigs and also try to get a couple of 50-50 block charge calls even if that means picking up a few fouls ourselves.
I don't think Roy Williams will be reusing this particular halftime speech again.
Needed more "dadgums."
At least they're making it competitive and showing that Florida is not invincible.
Eric Riley. Remember him? Upper class big man who lost his starting spot to a freshman, but when said freshman got into foul trouble in our Sweet 16 game against a Big 12 mountain man (big country Reeves of Oklahoma State), Riley came off the bench and helped save us.
What I'm saying is, we need Jordan Morgan to step up. Forget the IU tap back big fella. We will need you and you are still a huge part of this team. Go Blue!
Do this? I go away and it's suddenly competitive again. Good to see. What will Sir Charles do if the Gophers get this and reach the Sweet 16?
Matchup than I was during the first half. But I still like our chances. Mitch's rebounding and high energy will be critical to us. As will a great game from Burke pushing Kansas to mistakes. I'd be less confident if I thought Kansas had a stopper who could work Trey over, but I just don't see that. His ability to penetrate can do a lot to mitigate their bigs - get them out of position so GRIII and others can do their thing.
