  @VailHawk I’m pulling for Izzo as a dark horse. I’d like to see his guys manhandle Kentucky… take the game away from height and make it about strength (and toughness).

  @drgnslayr said: Don’t you think other teams use it against us because we are stuck with the hi/lo? You already know the answer to that !! I personally think we ought to switch to a two-handed set shot. No dunks allowed. Get the NCAA to do away with the shot clock. We can run the four corners and win every game 19 - 12.

  @jaybate-1.0 I don’t know… but it sure looked like Perry broke his nose. He said it wasn’t broken… though I wonder if he just didn’t want to tell people it was. That type of hit usually means a busted nose. Kudos to Perry for putting up a fight and returning with his busted nose!

  @jaybate-1.0 “The thing I am most excited about is that it feels like there are some serious challengers coming on–contributors that have broken through the counter posting phase” Right on. I don’t think any of us “volume posters” could have made it this far without constantly being challenged by new guys coming in. I don’t think any of us are here just to boast about our knowledge… we all get educated every day in here. I know I’ve learned more about the game this year than in any past year playing. I bet I’ve picked up knowledge from 30 posters in here this year. But this place is more than basketball knowledge… it’s humor, art, bonding, confrontation, joy, sorrow, creativity, discovery, shock… and a definite team attitude!

  I love Kansas basketball and I hate KUBuckets. How many times have I fallen behind on work either at work or at home because I’m reading/responding to all kinds of theories out there. Someone said we’re spoiled. Here’s how spoiled we are. Since I came to KU in 1985, and actually, I think if I had enrolled a year earlier in 1984, we’d have a string of …calculating…calculating… 29 NCAA tournaments out of 30 possible. And the one time we missed, we were all so giddy over 1988 we barely noticed not making it! The other night as I watched my second love the announcer said Oregon has danced 13 times in their entire history! They actually won the first official NCAA tournament in 1939. I think Duke can write the same about their success since 1984 and UNC as well. No one else can. We’ve got it good, uh, great as KU fans. @VoyagingJayhawk, keep posting! We need more!

  Ruh Ro!! Shortly after West Virginia’s 69-59 win over Maryland Sunday night in the NCAA tournament, two daughters of Mountaineers Coach Bob Huggins tweeted out rape-related jokes in regard to the Terps’ Dez Wells. Jenna Leigh Huggins subsequently deleted those tweets from her account. On Monday, Bob Huggins’ daughter took to Twitter again, this time to post several apologies: Last night on Twitter I made a mistake in saying what I did about Dez Wells. — Jenna Leigh Huggins (@JennaLeigh44) March 23, 2015 I want to apologize to Dez Wells, the UM team, the University, it’s fans, and the Jewish community for my remarks. — Jenna Leigh Huggins (@JennaLeigh44) March 23, 2015 It was an exciting game between two great teams and emotions were out of line. I was wrong to say those things and I am sorry. — Jenna Leigh Huggins (@JennaLeigh44) March 23, 2015 I also want to apologize to WVU. Mountaineers are better than that, and I have learned a valuable lesson. — Jenna Leigh Huggins (@JennaLeigh44) March 23, 2015 Coach Huggins’s other daughter, Jacqueline, had also appeared to have posted these tweets Sunday night: “NO MEANS NO DEZ!” and “Hey #Maryland yell “airball” all you want at Wan, because at the end of the day…. Dez is still a [expletive] RAPIST.” That Twitter account, @JacqueHuggins, has been taken private, and those tweets appear to have been deleted. At this point, she is not known to have made any form of apology. Wells was expelled from Xavier in 2012 following an accusation of sexual assault. A grand jury declined to bring charges in the case, and Wells later came to a settlement in a lawsuit he brought against Xavier

  @jayhawk-007 and @Hawk8086 The key thing I believe you are both giving insufficient weight to is at the moment that KU was pulling away from WSU, Perry flagrantly attacked Fred’s elbow with his nose and caused himself to have to leave the game with a bloody, perhaps broken nose, a dazed look, and needing to be helped to the locker room for treatment. This completely gratuitous attack on Fred’s elbow by Perry with Perry’s nose, left Perry operating significantly impaired when he finally did come back into the game. My point here is that Perry, our best player, calculatedly injured himself and took himself out of the game and significantly impaired his performance for the rest of the game, simply to indulge in a violent calculated attack on Fred’s elbow. That it backfired and did not injure Fred in the least, meant that KU really was never the same the rest of the game and in fact grew continually more tentative, then timid and finally it just cracked entirely. I can’t be sure of course, but all signs point to the appearance that if Perry had not engaged in egregiously weaponizing his nose against Fred, then KU, with its best player performing up to pre-nose attack standards, would easily have won the game.

  @DoubleDD I think a year will make a difference. Will it make enough so that we become a title contender? I think we need a big man to go through (Cliff returns…not likely IMO, or one of the big man recruits). Like it or not, that is what Self needs to be successful.

  @BeddieKU23 I’m not sure… that is a question for others in here. Anyone know? @reader22 If they back away from all basketball sponsorship, aren’t they just folding tent in their basketball-related products? I’m lost in the world of shoes, but really appreciate all of you who follow that world and post on it. It has become a fascinating read, even though I’m more interested in Xs and Os instead of $s.

  Well, I was hoping I’d be wrong but it is what it is and Len Elmore pretty much backed it up the whole second half–Wichita State is just a lot more mentally tough than we are. Maybe they just wanted a rematch with Kentucky more than we did.
