  Shaka working that ax. Makes sense though, they were oversigned big time and still might add another commit yet.

  @jaybate-1.0 And to your point, a reason I think we are now better than last season’s team, and why we succeeded to get to the final four, is that we have an inside offensive game. One that demands respect. Last season, how threatening was Lucas? He just wasn’t. Good rebounder, but the opposition was surely hoping he took the shots.

  Devon Dotson and Marcus Garret are a top tier duel pg option and Charlie and KJ are two vets that are great back ups. I think the only question is whether Legerald leaves. If he does I suspect Romeo Langford will commit and if not then we have our senior leader talking mad shit on the court. Wouldn’t mind having LG back for another year.

  @FarSideHawk Who are the others in the top 5? I’m guessing they aren’t playing anymore! CBS did a rating of the 20 starters in the F4. DG #2, MN 7, SM 9, UA 13 and LV 14. He said it was based on the entire season but he acknowledged moving MN up because of his past 3 weeks. (I think LV would get a boost too.). Brunson 1, Bridges 3. https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/2018-ncaa-tournament-ranking-every-one-of-the-20-starting-players-in-the-final-four/

  @Gunman Playing two very good teams in 3 days will put a sweat on any team. But KU played SOME TOUGH TWO GAME SETS, like WVU AND KSU, right? And in regular season you have to play in the other team’s crib, which you don’t have to do in the Carney. The appearance of differing seeding paths and whistles appearing more difficult than regular season seem factors also. More asymmetry in seeding paths and whistles might lower one teams stats some, and raise another’s, but I haven’t read evidence of such. But I don’t see any conspiracies in basketball, unless and until (if ever) proven by the authorities in court. Conspiracy theories appear intel memes for suckers. So what is there to see? Maybe some entertainment value bias, since Coach Barry Hinson reportedly mentioned some once. And maybe an appearance of rent-a-teams, since Coach Bo Ryan reputedly referred to one team as such.

I’m excited for the Graham/Brunson match up. These are the 2 best PG’s in the country and should be the ones splitting the NPOY awards this year.

  @mayjay either way, i think he’s gone and his hot streak couldn’t have come at a better time! Crazy that he scored all 13 for us in OT

  @JayHawkFanToo You said regarding ESPN - “An ethical media outlet would have looked at the numbers and not the click bait hype to create a fake reality.” I am utterly shocked that anyone would question the ethics of ESPN.

  @mayjay I think I remember reading they were coached to make sure Curry doesn’t take that last shot. Someone D’d up Steph big time.

  For anyone interested in knowing, our nosebleed seats in the Superdome weren’t terrible. I thought I might watch the action on the screen, but my eyes were drawn to the court.

  @JayHawkFanToo I have to admit I was shocked at their final results this year. I know Trae got exposed a bit, so teams scouted and took away parts of his game. He also wore down. It’s hard to play that many minutes, getting all that attention on the floor. Just ask Devonte! I thought Lon would have more going on with everyone NOT named Trae.
