Let’s hope Parker Braun can share some valuable intel and provides a vital advantage from his experience playing against Gonzaga while at Santa Clara in the WCC.

Took me a while to write my game chat. We’ll use yours!

Well todays the day we exceed our expectations! We will be favored according to seed, but I’d assume oddsmakers don’t like us so we’re the underdog. Maybe Bill can rally the troops and pull off a stunner. Being seeded so highly I assume we have spent very few NCAA tournament days as the underdog according to seeds. Lets hope they come out firing on all cylinders.
I’ll be interested to see Gonzaga play. One of their guys Braden Huff is from the west burbs here. He was part of an all time great team, only loss was a buzzer beater against Bronny’s team in front of 10000 here at the gym where DePaul plays.
Mark Few and Bill Self were both born on the same day in 1962. There’s a Zag with the last name Few whom I assume is another guy who probably doesn’t need NIL money and who probably got the position because of the name on the back of his shirt.
Anyways, I hope everyone enjoys this one. Don’t get too stressed if it doesn’t go well. @Crimsonorblue22 told me to not worry about, she’s got a great feeling about it. Bill Self’s gonna fix this mess so even stalwarts like @nuleafjhawk can get back on board with the Jayhawks.

What are the chances we get 30 minutes of good Elmarko today?
-
Gonzaga is 22-0 when shooting the 3 ball better than 30% this season. We must guard the perimeter much better today. Not thinking we will be able to score 90 plus points again.

Ugg. There you go raining on my parade before it even starts! I had completely forgotten ElTurnover was going to play.
-
Well, if he has a good to great game we have a chance imo

lol, maybe like 5 %
-
I like Elmarko being aggressive, I’d like to see his percentage on that pull up of his think it’s like 75%. He just got too sped up with Samfords pressure. We forsure need him to just have a decent game.

Our best mid range guy. 12-14 pts is reasonable.
-
Key for me is for Hunter not to get in foul trouble, he needs to stay on the court.
-
@approxinfinity Less than 5% chance he has a good or great game. Has Elmarko had one yet? I’m hoping, maybe just as crazy, that Furphy puts together an entire game. Unfortunately it’s something that also isn’t very likely.
- need KJ to do KJ things - I think that will happen
- need Hunter to score and rebound - should happen, but he also needs to guard better - less likely
- need Harris to steady the team - check and look for his shot - less likely
- need Timberlake to knock down shots - probably will happen, and not get lost on defense - 🫣 or over aggressive on offense.
- need Parker to give Hunter a solid blow - 50/50
- need Elmarko to play under control - 60/40 it’ll happen.
- need Furphy to play an entire game at a high level - 20/80 he does.
If the right combo of things get checked ku wins - but if Gonzaga gets hot from three it’ll look not so great for the good guys. Let’s see who’s tuned up to play today! This is very winnable
-
@dylans for some reason Furphy is good in the first half but seems to disappear in the second. Believe he had 8 points in the first 4 minutes Thursday, then disappeared for much of the rest.
-
Just find a way to win. Rock Chalk
-
Women down by 3 at the half to Michigan
-
LFG #RockChalk

We beat uconn and yale. Zags beat yale but lost to uconn.

I’m hope my most painful experience of today was going to Dillon’s and spending $300 for 2 weeks worth of groceries lol

It’s not the missed shots, its that our defense is putrid. No intensity - Zags getting to spots easily…
