  I didn’t realize that this will be the first time that KU has ever played Clemson.

  @Lulufulu I agree. He was not at peak before the impact. After, he appeared unable to clear the cobwebs fully. We are in some trouble if he has a concussion, which is how it appeared. Again, it took Malik 2-3 games to really recover from his apparent concussion. We may not see the real Devonte again until the Finals, if we make it that far. This team has faced so much adversity!!! It is just amazing. If it wins the Carney, it has to go down as tied with the '88 champs as the most remarkable team in KU history. I’m even tempted to say its more remarkable, because the '88 team had Danny Manning as the hub and Manning was one of the 50 greatest collegiate basketball players of the second half century of the game. This team is somehow doing it without a Manning. These players are really, really admirable and special in the character department. And it is a reminder to us all that you cannot judge a book by its cover. I can remember when many of us, me included, were doubting this teams’ toughness. Even if they lose the next game, this team will rank in my memory as one of KU’s toughest ever. I don’t recall another KU team overcoming this much adversity without a single superstar on the team. They are just the most amazing bunch of individuals I have had the pleasure to watch play the game in a long time. I so hope they can become champions, so that their incredible accomplishments so far, will be etched in memory for all time.

  To win it all KU will have to beat Clemson first and then likely Duke, Villanova and Kentucky. That would be quite a run.

  Just about every team has one game where it plays well above and the opponent well below their averages; the OU game this season that KU won by 30 comes to mind. I have no doubt KU is a better team than OU but, is it 30 points better? Can we keep Young to 3-13 and 11 points considering that in the first game he was 7-9 in route to 26 points? Probably not. The other game that comes to mind is against UNC in the NCAA in 2008 when KU led by as many as 28 points in route to an 18 point win. Was KU 28 or even 18 point better than UNC? Probably not. KU had to hang on for dear life the previous game against lowly Davidson and there was no reason to believe it would blow out UNC, and we know how the next game went…OT win over Memphis. Last year KU put together and impressive streak of 38, 20 and 32 point wins against UC Davis, Michigan State and Purdue only to take a 14 point loss to Oregon, this is a 46 point swing between the previous win and the final loss. It happens. The Clemson-Auburn game was one of those games, “Perfect Storm Good” for Clemson and “Perfect Storm Bad” for Auburn. If these teams play more games, I would bet the rest are all within 5+/- points. There is no reason or precedent to believe Clemson will repeat what it did against Auburn or that KU will play dead for most of the game like Auburn did. In fact, it is more likely that Clemson will have a let down and KU will win big. Analysts love to make outrageous predictions because there is little downside to it. Seth Davis predicting Penn would beat KU had zero downside for him, if Penn would have won he looks like a friggin’ genius and it KU wins nobody really remembers his prediction because KU was supposed to win anyway. I read that more people took Penn over KU than any other 16 over a 1 seed ever and I understand that Clemson is now the trendy pick over KU as well… A lot of the disrespect is no doubt fueled by the East Coast MSM that cannot believe good basketball can be played outside of the East Coast. Funny how Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, that are NBA analysts and have not done a college basketball this season before the tournament that I can remember are now the experts on teams they do not follow and at times seem to be grossly unfamiliar. In short, you can get better information about KU and the conference here than you can from just about any other source…of course Trae Young being the exception since ESPN is his official publicist.

  @nuleafjhawk I do remember that joke. Several versions were going around at the time. Nice to revisit it.

  Glad we play Friday. Another day for us to watch games on Thursday without any nerves and another day for Doke’s knee to continue healing!

  @BShark Not to look ahead past Friday but isn’t Duke who we want to beat? It means they are not in the Final 4. This is a golden opportunity in my opinion

  @Crimsonorblue22 You are probably correct. If there was a year, this would have been it playing a heavily under seeded, disciplined team in Penn. I understand Penn was the #16 team with the highest percentage of bets and bracket picks to upset a #1 ever.

  I think Doke was about 80%, he used his elbows a little too much but at least 2 of Dokes fouls were weak. Doke even said in post game Delgato said on court he flopped. Delgato himself did plenty of hooking and elbowing, it was a super physical game. I thought Seton Hall had several fouls that could’ve or maybe even should been intentional. The one where 22 tackled DG from behind wasn’t not a play on the ball whatsoever (probably would’ve been a fight if that injuried DG, that was a thug play) or when they grabbed DGs jersey. Watching the game live Seton Hall played pretty rough like WV and got away with quite of bit of holding and pushing.

  @JayHawkFanToo I saw that bio after I posted the link. If they’re letting him write about the tourney he probably knows enough to write something cogent about the dance. And even though he’s midwestern in residence and education, he’s an east coaster and it showed in that tripe he wrote. I’m sure coach K isn’t letting his kids think they’re the favorites. They’re as scared of us as we are of them I’m pretty sure. I guess what bugged me is they’re in a bracket with two other blue bloods and they barely mention us and MSU. It shouldn’t bug me, as I can’t take a more whatever attitude like you did. I need to be more like that sometimes!

  I feel pretty good. This is the type of team we sometimes lose to, but usually beat. I will take the usually today- please and thank you.
