@nuleafjhawk just imagine we are a mid major and you will be thrilled with our chances
-
Making my wife drive as we drive up north to visit elderly parents so I can watch Badgers game on my phone, but then it will be petal to the metal when I take over so we can make it there on time for KU game.
-
It’s gamr day fella’s Everyone have their happy faces on - - -let’s be happy , positive, today is the day our destiny begins. Think we got a real shot tonight, for one Arkansas also has people hurt- - -Arkansas goes through scoring droughts- - - Arkansas is terrible at 3 point offense just heard off from First Take Jay Williams stated that Arkansas is like 331st in 3 point offense .Several people/analysts like our fraw/pod, talking about how KU could be the Cinderella-- it’s time to be positive- -ROCK CHALK
-
Creighton looking sharp so far.
-
@approxinfinity I think both Creighton and Gonzaga are under seeded IMO
-
Watching High Point now. Intrigued by Pettiford
-
iI don’t feel as bad getting beat by Creighton at Creighton, they look pretty good to me
-
If Creighton hadn’t lost Pops after the KU game to that hip injury they would probably be a Top 5 seed. They dominated us

Maybe. They are pretty hot and cold with their shooting. Obviously they are hot today
-
@BeddieKU23 ya if they still had Pop they could be a threat to make the FF.
-
Creighton pretty much in control of that game from start to finish
-
Houston doing what Houston does- - -40-- 18
-
@SlimShaddy54 a 1 seed almost always goes down in Round 2, thinking it’s Houston this year
-
@kjayhawks I hate to disagree bud BUT I disagree lol
-
@SlimShaddy54 haha Mcnesse looking good Very the little ACC
-
OMG Barkley picked Arizona in the Championship game lol
-
@kjayhawks Didn’t even know they had started, just got through watching some of Auburn Alabama St - -Auburn better turn it up in the 2nd half- - Alabama St gave them all they wanted in the 1st
-
Hey guys (and gals). Please don’t waste too much of your time watching these games. Just fast forward to April 7th and watch KU cut down the nets. It WILL happen. Microsoft AI said so.
-
Gonzaga taking Georgia behind the woodshed early up 27-3.
-
Good God, did Gonzaga put their entire roster on the floor on the defensive end ? - Georgia with THREE point halfway through the first half
-
Clemson getting their behinds spanked too. - -29 points in three fourths of a game. under 10 minutes to go against McNeese
-
Well, here we are. Up against the Hogs in the big dance. Not feeling like many of us have high hopes today, but off we go. Rock Chalk!
-
KU is an ESPN analytics 71% favorite. Projecting Hunt with 19, Mayo 15, Juan 11 and KJ 9. I think that’s 54. Maybe get Griffen with 8, Diggy with 6, AJ with four and Flory with 6. KU 78 Ark 73. Or my initial score without this break down was Ark 75 KU 69. Everyone down here close to the Pig Trail are as unsure as I am. Looks like Boogie will set this one out after all. KU is full of woe on the road but it’s a neutral site. There are too many either/or questions/answers in this game. Hopefully it’s a good one. Donna and I have eaten our BBQ loaded baked potatoes, I have Tums by my side and Dan Quayle was an idiot.
-
Weel as of right now- — BIG - -2-0- – Big Twelve- -2-0-- -Big East- - -1-0- — SEC - -1-1- --&-v-- ACC - -0-2
-
“BIG” logo is as pretentious as THE Ohio State was.
-
@Zabudda radio guys saying Boogie back
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Local TV guys just said that too.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk not sure about here but there are quite a few that like our chances.-- Statistically pretty een across the board. - We rebound better -more assists , shoot the three better shoot better overall,-- Arkansas has a history of going through some long stretchs without scoring. – Their leading rebounder is only 5.1 per.
Gonna be a close game for sure, but if we don’t come out and just have our head deep in our own a - - and play solid defense I think we will come out on top.- - Gonna have to watch Boogie, but not sure how well , or how long he can go- -been out for two months. Theirro is out leading player for them but not playing- - pulling for the win.- - KU 75 - -Arkansas- -7 0
-
What Hunter will we see the 50% from the floor and the FT line or the 8/10 and 80% from the line Hunter.
-
Ark with a roster of four 5 stars and five 4 stars. Nice. KU with seven 4 or 5 stars?
-
So, this is the game thread?
-
Not so many stunning upsets so far today.
Maybe more tomorrow or maybe in the next rounds when the medium seeds are playing the high seeds… I really thought there was a bit more parity this year so I was ready to see some surprises.
I also wouldn’t cry if more SECs bit the dust.
-
@bskeet seemed to be a lot more blowouts than usual on day one. Only real upsets have been McNeese and Drake which I actually picked in the one bracket I filed out this season.
-
Goodness Tech gonna fart around and get beat.
-
Pretty good game with Baylor and Mississippi state right now. After watching us last night it’s just crazy to see how much more hustle most teams have than us. Both teams have 5 guys running, crashing the boards and getting after loose balls. Outside of KJ it never really happened for guys with Kansas on their chest.
-
@kjayhawks Your right KJ was the only only one showing heart, diving for loose balls, just overall hustle , giving 100 %. Sure he had limitations but hell MAYBE that is what the mascot for this team should of been this year for this team- - - THE KANSAS LIMITATIONS- -instead of Jay Hawks
-
@SlimShaddy54 KJ always gave it his all if he was in someone else’s body he’s a an all American
-
I could see during our losses this year if a team was better than us. Houston, TT, BYU, ISU and maybe others. Arkansas didn’t look better than us and that’s a team that went 8-5 in the SEC to end the conference season. We did our sloppy ball handling and throw away passes to the tune of 10 turnovers in the second half but Arkansas turned it over 8 times in the half. Percentage wise we outshot them from the field, deep and FT’s. Out rebounded them and were even on the offensive boards. They had 7 more second chance opportunities. I think we were a better team than they were. We shot and defended our way into the lead late in the second half by good coaching with the zone but of course our five straight empty possessions was another painful as heck loss. I hope AJ Storr comes back. Two out of the three last games he was very impressive. Flory will become a good scorer in a year or two if he comes up with an effective shot. He is so quick and tough. Passmore is gonna be a load next year and I hope he stays. The team was playing it’s best ball but our giveaways never went away. It took so long to jell.

This is for people rooting for St Johns: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1001623258545179/?referral_source=external_deeplink
-
@approxinfinity haha thats funny to be honest I just hate Cal as much as anything but Arkansas is has more size and athleticism than just about every team St. John has faced this season.
-
@approxinfinity https://www.facebook.com/share/r/165b3FpHAB/?mibextid=wwXIfr
I like stuff like this accountability and toughness
.
-
@kjayhawks im picking st johns in this one
-
Zuby man we missed on him
-
@kjayhawks seriously.
-
@approxinfinity the way he running the floor and everywhere right now missed that like KJ but with size
-
@kjayhawks yeah imagine how our pace could have differed with Udeh Zuby and a healthy Elmarko.
-
I’m disappointed because I honestly thought if we could get past Arkansas we could’ve beaten this team. Obviously KJ being injured late we probably wouldn’t have a good shot
-
These seniors blew a very possible sweet 16 path

Right on paper we are much better shooting team than Arkansas and we match up well with St John’s who doesn’t guard the line well.

It was a very generous path, especially considering the likely sweet 16 matchup would’ve been Tech who’s beatable. But of course the team had to let the fanbase down one last time
