In 2008 we were winning 40-12. Monday, we went ahead 7-0, and then UNC went on a 40-18 run, but of course then we went on a 31-10 run. We won both games of course, and when you look at surviving a 40-18 run, that is really impressive. That 7-0 start won us the game really. UNC reverted to 8 seed form just in time.
A lot has been written here about media bias and Iām an expert on it. But wins like this just force them to pay attention to our team. Itās been fun reading all of the articles.
I complained about moving picks by Bacot to my wife who didnāt care because the refs couldnāt hear me through the TV, but a search on twitter shows a lot of tweets about the same thing. I donāt understand refereeing that allows that. The fabulous Illinois team that lost to UNC in 2005 was victimized I believe by the lack of the same call on UNC over and over and over. That teams version of Bacot was Scottie May who ran over many guys on his way to the MOP trophy. UNC apparently has these things in their playbook.
To be fair the same tweeters mentioned more than a few times DeJuan palming the ball which I honestly have never noticed. What an indictment on human nature because I notice it frequently with modern players.
After we won in 1988 I stepped outside my apartment and if you didnāt know what happened youād swear the biggest riot of the year was taking place.
I know some like Braunās chirping at the crowd. I may be the only one, but I just donāt get someone who makes a shot having to go down the court yelling the B word at crowds of fans. Although I like his game, Iām not seeing a big pro career for him, at least in the NBA. I do hope Iām wrong. Not sure any of these guys really succeed at the next level.
Major championships in my own life were the 85 Bears, the 88 Jayhawks, the 90ās Bulls which honestly became ho hum after a few, the 05 White Sox, 08 Jayhawks and this years version. So this 14 year personal drought is over. I donāt want to wait 14 years for another, but Iāve been fortunate to be witness to very satisfying champions over the years.

Iāve rewatched the game three times already if anyone needs any updates.
Bacot should have fouled out half way through the first half with those screens. Leveled Harris on one of Malikās 3s.
Braun kicked some serious ass on D that I didnāt notice first time around. I could live without the trash talk, but Malik was dishing it out too, soā¦
Also, Remyā¦ one guy who still hadnāt completely won me over, but that dude delivered with those shots in the second half

@wissox Hmmmā¦Iāve enjoyed 2 Chiefs SB wins, 2 Royals WS wins, and 3 KU NCs. Michigan winning in 1989 meant nothing to meānever attended a game in my 3 years there and didnāt really identify as a Wolverine.
Random thoughts now that the adrenaline has finally dissipated:
āKUās rate of winning is getting faster, incidentally. 36 years after the first, 20 after the 2nd, and āonlyā 14 after the 3rd before this yearās. Iām 66 now, so I would like it to speed up some more!
āHas anyone celebrated the fact that we won this year, which is the 70th anniversary of our 1st NC win? Did KU have a tribute at a game?
āFinally, I am looking forward to Maui in 2023 because we might be visiting the gkids for Thanksgiving anyway. Might try to get to Bahamas this year. Will be interested to learn if anyone else is thinking about these.

Saw this on Twitter:
āBill Self is the only Kansas coach with two NCAA titles and he wonāt have the gym named after him because itās named after the Father of Basketball Coaching and he wonāt have the court named after him because thatās named after the inventor of the sport. What a place KU is.ā
-
@Gorilla72 How about the Bill Self Banner Array?
-
@mayjay - naming the basketball dorm after him? Practice facility?
-
@mayjay I wanted to go with my boys last time, not my DILās. Just us. One of them brought it up.
lol!

Found this tody from another site. Donāt know if itās been mentioned or not. If it has been then sorry, BUT an article said that the KU/UNC title game was the most viewed title game in NCAA history 18.1 Million viewers from TBS /TNT/TRU watch was a 4 % incrrease over the Gonzaga/ Baylor game last year according to the AP - - -yay for us
