@tis4tim Funny thing is I looked at the picture @bskeet placed in this post of the block and just assumed it was Dave blocking someone early in the game. Then I looked again and thought wow, that’s Remy. I think the refs did a good job showing restraint and not whistling it there. Not saying at all that he fouled him but I’m sure Michigan fans still have nightmares of Burke blocking a fast break for Louisville in the waning minutes and getting whistled for it. That’s when I turned that game off as I figured Michigan had no chance if they were going to favor sleazy Rick Patino over classy John Beilein.

I’m really going to miss Remy next year. Big Personality. Gee, I feel like we were just getting to know him.

Wish I could find a hi-res version of this… the game winner.

Man Remy & David hit such HUGE buckets late in this game - -just ice in the veins . - I could watch things like this over & over &over
-
When the game was being decided in the last 3 minutes, I keep going back to Remy’s block as the most critical play. Championship Remy as I will always think about him was a blur making the block. Our players still had defensive energy during those 3 minutes, while NC players were exhausted and were realizing they couldn’t finish with the win.

You could always go back to Dave’s jump hook that he missed and just out fought Manek & Bacot for the rebound and made THE HUGE basket LATE IN the game with like a minute to go

“After the what-ifs of 2020 and a disappointing exit in 2021, Bill Self’s squad made their intentions known with wins over Texas Tech and Creighton. “
Texas Southern and Creighton. Texas Tech fans think they could have beaten us in the tourney whilst chalking up losses they didnt even play, haha.

@approxinfinity glad u said something, attention to detail! The tech and the blur. Had to reread the book intro and enlarge the screen on the blur, hilarious! I can’t believe he never got a T!

After watching that highlight video, I kind of want to go back and watch every game of the season again. Even the bad games. There really was something special about the way that team eventually clicked once the 7 main guys got locked in. You could feel it build in the B12 tourney. Tons of experience and trust the way those lobs were tossed up. Just beautiful. What a year!
-
@DanR still seems to be a dream! That tough last week of our season, just losing to a very good tcu. Losing to Dayton and Kentucky. Beating isu without Och. Texas beating the crap out of us, physically, especially BD. Revenge was great. Snacks handshake. TT loss. Baylor beating us and then beating the crap out of them! Felt sooo good! Those teams did pretty good in the tourney. Can’t imagine another team like this one. It would be fun to watch again and do it together! Redo! Magical year! Best kids and staff!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - AND… currently on an 11 game winning streak!
-
Interesting to think about Baylor and how good they still were this year. They lost to the national runner-up UNC in OT. Obviously, that game could have gone either way… and if it went the other way, they could have matched up in an all B12 Final. That’s pretty impressive.
(Also, the way Baylor stormed back on UNC foreshadowed our epic comeback.)
-
Lol, maniac couldn’t get out of the big 12! Got thrown out of that game, got some elbows during our game cause of his own doing! Wonder if he’s done?
-
Yeah, reminds me of two more ‘fortuitous’ aspects of our run that are easy to overlook:
-
We played Thursday / Saturday and then got the extra day rest when we needed it most for the regional semis on Friday / Saturday. It really helped Mitch, but Dave also benefitted. That one day was huge.
-
When we needed to comeback, we happened to face a guy that we had extensive knowledge. For Miami, it was Charlie Moore, and we turned him over several times to start the second half. For UNC, it was Manek. Dave and Mitch had faced Manek many times before. They knew they could post up against him. And when all the marbles were up for grabs, Dave had confidence that he could take on Manek.

Love this sequence. Wish I knew the score.

Another forgotten highlight was the KState game in the rotten apple when we were down 16 at halftime.
One of the examples I used with my Championship watching group why it wasn’t over by any stretch against NC.

And lest we forget @jayballer67’s prediction from that Kstate game chat:

@DanR this was the day after Selfs dad died, or the day. The team pulled thru for him.
-
The K-State game really made me a believer as well. I nearly turned off the radio in the first half…but I figured I’d stick with them just to see how they responded. And in the second half they still made me want to turn off the radio at times… but slowly they cut the lead, but could never actually pull ahead until the very end of the game. I’m pretty sure KU had the lead less than 60 seconds of the game.

lol, thanks for reminding me almost forgot that, but I guess even the sun has to shine on a dogs ass sometime huh lol. - -Ya again who knows maybe THAT was the point in the Season where these guys took that approach and didn’t really panic if they got down. what ever the case this game turned out to be pivotal for us I think. Glad it worked out these guys were scrappers - the whole Nrver say die approach. - -Thanks for refreshing the words buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@bskeet These images tell the story of the what this KU team could do.
At the end of the win probability chart, what you see is a spike that pierces through the heart of EMAW.
