Kansas and Wisconsin = Two Best Non OAD/TAD Stacks in the Country

Way to put me on the spot. I’ve got to say Kansas of course. I never attended UW, just paid taxes to support it. But I also feel Bo Ryan can coach with the best of them it’d be nice to see him validated with a championship. Last year was a sort of validation, and I really believe that team choked against Kentucky, missed 1-1 FT with 30 seconds left which puts them up by four if we get a chance for a 2nd. Giving up the long three by Harrison, and a forced shot by Jackson at the buzzer when he had open options to pass to. I think last year was our chance to be honest. But sign me up, I’ll go for a UW-KU final any day!

@wissoxfan83 he will officially lose his rights to post on game day!!! ️

Interestingly if KU plays that night i will actually be in Lawrence. My daughter is visiting KU, so I won’t be posting to any live blogs that night anyways!
Will be my first visit to Lawrence since '89 so I’m a tad bit excited to go there!
-
@wissoxfan83 oh yeah I forgot you told us that! My boys were there that pm on mass. Great experience! I was praying they didn’t get arrested for anything!!!

Isn’t the knock against Bo Ryan that he always chokes on the big games? A lot like Coach Williams at Kansas…
-
Bill Self and Bo Ryan both have lost twice in the first round, but UW doesn’t have the embarrassment of Bucknell and Bradley. Bo has made 6 Sweet 16’s (i think), reached the elite 8 and of course last year the final four. He has a pretty good record in the dance, but you know, a lot of people like to say KU chokes in the tourney a lot too.

…yes…but KU has a recent National Title where Wisconsin does not…right?
Again, not need to get defensive, I did not say that Bo Ryan is a poor coach, I simply said the the knock on him is that even with superior teams he has not made past the Final Four, right? I even mentioned that former KU Coach Williams had the same reputation and to a certain extent Coach Self does as well, although that one title and the finals a couple of years ago have largely offset that perception.
In any case, this is a discussion for WisconsinBuckets forum not the KUBUckets forum, right?

Well @jaybate-1.0 opened it up. Look at the title! Sorry, just excited about BOTH teams. I wasn’t really trying to sound defensive. By the way, the Badgers have one too, in 1941!

I knew Bo Ryan was old…I did not know he was THAT old…

@jaybate-1.0 Post College basketball season, I would love to see a more indepth analysis on your theory of Nike Stacks, as well as that other topic I mentioned…Umm Bill Self influence from Iba and Larry Brown.
-
Agreed on Self influences.
SHOECO - AGENCY COMPLEX is only a hypothesis waiting for more news data points to surface. For now, there seems no need to go beyond what Rick Pitino left at their and the NCAA’s doors. Will be interesting to see if more surfaces.
