NCAA NON- KU GAMES
-
@benshawks08 More titles combined with more really down seasons vs. less titles but and all but written in stone guarantee of being ranked and in the dance every season. That’s the choice between us and them. We are SO USED TO WINNING that when the inevitable day comes that we can’t even be considered on the bubble I’m afraid we’re really going to melt down if this whole social media thing is still happening. But if that day comes a year removed from a NC, maybe it’s easier to swallow?
As goofy as it sounds, I would rather be KU than UConn. Reasons? 1. Tradition 2. BlueBlood status 3. AFH 4. KU’s contribution to sports in general. 5. KUBuckets is better than HuskeyBuckets 6. UConn sounds like you con.
7. Our campus is better 8. Our girls are better 9. Google Earth was invented in Lawrence 10. We never had Jim Calhoun.

@bskeet What happened to SDSU in 2020?
They were 30-2 and ranked 6th, and 6th in Kenpom. Good team.

SDSU and Dayton are the two teams I would’ve been curious about in the 2020 tournament. Dayton especially because they were tracking to be a 1 seed that year.

@Kcmatt7 I mean they wouldn’t necessarily have to “fire” him tho right? Isn’t that kinda part of why you have the interim tag.
Another question. Is UT kind of backed into a different corner here? Guy just won the conference tournament and took his team to the E8 while wearing the interim tag and basically getting it thrust upon him at the last minute thru unforeseen circumstances. If they don’t give him the job, who else is really going to want it? “You mean this wasn’t good enough for UT under the circumstances?”
Any other interested party may be thinking that way and not want the pressure of that atm. UT may not honestly have many other options right now, and probably no better ones
-
Remember Texas has 2 big recruits signed right now. They haven’t wavered and this move could solidify them joining them.
Terry clearly connected with this group and coached his but off so it’s hard to say he didn’t at least earn this for now. With the way basketball is turning into a 1 yr stop and shop for everyone, they can always find someone else next yr
-
@wissox I’m rooting for Miami too because of Jim Larranaga. Just seems like a good guy. Players seem to love him, so that’s good enough for me.
They gave us a heck of a game last year in the Regional final too, so… “Go Canes” or whatever they say.
-
@DanR Charlie Moore’s last hurrah…
-
@mayjay Oh yeah. Up Chuck! 5 points! I just looked up the box score and forgot how much we ended pulling away after being down at the half.
-
@DanR I remember it well like I was there. Oh yeah, I was there!
-
@wissox up really high, right?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, could almost touch the ceiling. Great memory!
-
Maybe UConn should replace Michigan State in the early season game?
-
Jim Larenega, 73.
Bruce Springsteen, 73.
Twins!
Go Canes!
-
@approxinfinity Looking forward to seeing 73 year old Bill Self lead KU to yet another final four appearance!
-I try to throw in a little snob hill for little brother

I dig Larranaga. Did you see the tweets where he was dancing? Dude is a riot.
-
@approxinfinity Teen-age girls keep you young.
-
@nuleafjhawk Ooops. That was for @Jethro
-
GO MEAN GREEN. Sorry @wissox a family member works for UNT
-
Greg Gard omg
-
@FarmerJayhawk DON’T apologize. When you get an NIT bid, you expect games like that to happen! Not the best moment for UW though for sure.
-
CUSA is gonna sweep the postseason
-
Grant McCasland gets hired by Texas Tech. Great hire for them. I caught part of the NIT championship in between my Astros opening night, and thought North Texas State looked very impressive. Very well coached team - tough defense. The old man was a huge Tech fan, and he would’ve liked this hire.
-
Yeah good coach, afraid his dude Perry will follow him for another year if he has it. That kid is a baller
-
Iowa’s defense is wild. They aren’t even trying to guard the line. Just packing it in and doubling the post every trip

It’s worked, Boston only has 8 points tonight. Also, Caitlin Clark is a damn beast.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 masterpiece of a game. Monster game for Clark. She’s just spectacular
-
Game callers were lame!
-
The Nickerson gal that signed with Iowa before their tragic accident which killed her dad, went down with her mom. They’re honoring her scholarship.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’ve won many a games leaving guys wide open who know they are the fourth or fifth best option. Mentally they know they aren’t supposed to be “the guy” scoring their job is to defend and rebound
Washington state let legerald be wide open at the free throw line at sprint center. He scored over 30 but we got upset
Best way to win is make the guys who’s job isn’t to lead in scoring to be wide open. Let him shoot 10-15 times
Someone text this to Self cause he doesn’t do it
-
@FarmerJayhawk Playing the best basketball on planet earth - this includes nba, ncaa whoever…all around rebounds, assists, points just unbelievable
-
@kuballin10 gotta make the other team play left handed. Bill Belichick is the best at it.
We did such a bad job of running real offense that night. Bill’s teams usually rip zones to shreds.
-
@FarmerJayhawk You nailed it
Yeah it was brutal I remember watching it just smiling because if I’d scouted us I’d done something similar because at the time Vick wasn’t option 1 or even close
-
According to ESPN, Clark has scored more points (235) this postseason (B10 and NCAA Tournament) than Iowa football scored scored all season (230).
-
Ya that Clark chick is insane. Watched the last 2 games Iowa played just because she’s exciting to watch.

How’d your opening night go? :). I know you got us last night.

Are you a HS coach in Kansas?

I had to have a long talk with Pressley. Well, actually it was his mom. And it wasn’t face to face- it was Twitter. And I didn’t really have a talk with her- it was a word of encouragement for her. She’s quite the Twitterphile. Nice lady, too.
-
San Diego St. to the title game on a buzzer beater to win by 1.
-
Man we’ve had some bangers the last couple weeks. Parity makes for a great tournament
-
So many underdogs would win in the tourney if they would play smart. FAU gave this one away. Shooting with 4 secs left on the shot clock, leaving 7-8 secs left for SDSU even if they had made it, was just their final mistake. Barkley (Round Mound of Rebound) totally disgusted by FAU giving up offensive FT rebounds.

Anybody But Connecticut
-
KSU is hanging a banner if Miami makes the NC.
“One of our former players was in a Natty 2023”
-
@Kcmatt7 Is 35 year old Charlie Moore in Miami as well?
-
Have to say, SDSU’s Brian Dutcher is a pretty good coach, considering how late he got into a head coaching gig.
Record: 150–46 (.765). Just shy of Bill’s .769
-
UCONN is just good. Very good. The end
-
UConn a blue blood in my book if they win it all guys. Time to accept it
-
Give uconn the trophy now it’s ova
Bill needs to 2-3 more here before he retire gotta take advantage
-
Oh god we’re gonna have people saying UConn > KU now
-
@FarmerJayhawk in terms of banners. It’s pretty tough to argue
-
@Kcmatt7 probably even if they don’t honestly
