        if somebody highly caffeinates Tiller before tip off

        God forbid! When he gets all gyrating and swiveling and anxious-looking, he gets the ball knocked out. I like it when he is deliberate and carefully backs in or drives without being hyper. Protecting the ball is hard if you keep offering it left and right before your move!

          @Jayhawk_69 don't agree with this team playing better without him. zona was totally due to Allen field house, I mean Melvin shot 6/30, that's not really a winning stat line. We definitely lose at Texas tech without him. This roster once against was managed poorly by bill immediately dog housing some of the players that we're giving millions to and relying on the bedrock of Jamari and elmarko to be our bench, which has aged poorly.

            Only helps if he's actually in the post area. We seem to be really good at getting our bigs away from the basket with all the switching. Vomit

              My simple view of KU vs CBU

              Number 1: Play good D on the 3 and don't allow someone to go nuts from deep. If our D shuts down the deep shot, they will drive. And that brings up....

              Number 2: Flory must be able to block without getting fouls called. Unfortunately, this depends at least partially on the officiating crew.

              If Flory draws two early fouls, the game will be a challenge.

              Rock Chalk!

                  @RockChalkinTexas-0 Ha! Is that supposed to make us mad? If the 0.03577% chance of KU v KY in the finals comes to pass, we are definitely going to beat them.

                    Just looking at how insane it is for St. John’s to be a 5 seed. They won both big east titles, are 16th in Net and 17th in KenPom. If you figure in how hot they are you could make a case for a 3 seed.

                    Big East is trash this year other than St. John's and UConn. 16th and 17th in NET and KenPom is the last 4 seed, first 5 seed range which is where St. John's got seeded.

                      I don't think the St. John's potential matchup is that bad for KU.

                      They don't have the big big size that typically bugs KU's bigs.

                      Zuby and Hopkins are 6-9 and 6-7. Mitchell is 6-8.

                      If those guys are 6-10+, then i'd be more worried.

                      I think Flory will be fine -- if somebody highly caffeinates Tiller before tip off!

                      Size isn't the issue with St. John's, the reason it's a bad match up for KU is because they play an extremely physical brand of ball similar to Houston, Iowa St., and Arizona and we all saw how poorly KU looked against those teams away from Allen Fieldhouse.

                        Our team played against more of the best defenses and more of the best offenses than any other team. At this time of year teams are worn out mentally as much as physically and top teams stumbled at the end of the regular season. We've seen what happens when Flory gets offended and he'll get offended against SJU. I'm not going to even try to guess how Tiller will play on Friday and hopefully Sunday. He needs to shoot the three without fear. Chuck it up Bryson, Chuck it up Mari, Chuck it up Tre, Chuck it up Elmarko, Chuck it up DP and Up Chuck Rick Pitino. You know Pitino is an admirer of Self. Says there are no holes in his in-game coaching. We admire Rick for humping a lady in a restaurant and it was consensual by the way. I think Coach Self, Coach Cal and Coach Pitino are not in favored nation status with the NCAA.

                          @Tallturd1 We admire Rick for doing that? Please remove the we part because I sure don't admire him for that disgusting act and resulting abortion.

                              RE: the bracket above... Vandy beating Florida (having more all-time wins) is not one I would have predicted.

                              Rock Chalk!

                                  @crimsonblu22 The details were exposed when Sypher was charged with extortion in 2009. She was accused of demanding a house, cars, and tuition money for her children. Sypher allegedly later demanded $10 million from Pitino, leading to federal charges.

                                  In 2011, Sypher was sentenced to 87 months in prison after being found guilty of extortion and lying to federal agents. Pitino, meanwhile, apologized for the incident but decided to stay on as Louisville's coach.

                                        Bracket has been bracketed.
                                        This may be my least informed year in history.

                                        Good luck to all! But not too much luck, unless you have KU in the Final Four, then it's OK.
