@approxinfinity yes

Gonna need both LL and DC against Purdues big men.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@KirkIsMyHinrich Izzo worked the refs every trip
 - 
					
					
					
					
@KirkIsMyHinrich And we haven’t even had Higgins to bitch about!
 - 
					
					
					
					
OK so I need some help. I always get 20 likes on these game threads,. I know I don’t deserve it as I was off my game. Yet could you help a brother out?
Just kidding. KU just completed the sweep of the Championships Classic. Yep UK, Duke and MSU all just lost to the eventual champions. KUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
 - 
					
					
					
					
Great win. They looked extremely focused as unit the last 10 minutes for sure. Now. Lots of preparation for Thursday. Go get it fellas
 - 
					
					
					
					
DIDN’T THINK WE’D BE SEEING TYLER TODAY.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Arkansas tightened it up on UNC
 - 
					
					
					
					
SOOOOOOOOOIEEEEEEEEEEEE
 - 
					
					
					
					
Reggie Miller doesn’t know Josh’s Mom’s last name. Called her Miss Jackson.
 - 
					
					
					
					
KU put their foot on MSU’s throat at the end and didn’t let up.
Lucas and Swanigan is gonna be a great match up.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Reggie Miller is the weaaaaak weeeaaaaaaak link in that crew.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Frank was merely average today — for a National Player of the Year!!
20 points and 5 assists.

What’s the chance Coleby just became the first big off the bench. He’s earned it. Bragg has earned the demotion. RCJH
 - 
					
					
					
					
I think we found our answer to Bragg’s absence. His name is…
COLEBY
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Bwag I was poking around looking at the Arkansas roster this year and last. Noticed Kingsley is the only big in the top 8 that scores for them, this year and last. Wondering if they’re running 4 out 1 in, and if Mick knew Kingsley was gonna take all the big minutes?
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Texas-Hawk-10 w/coleby to help
 - 
					
					
					
					
@tundrahok lol, nicely put.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Coleby could be huge against Purdue. His size, strength, maturity, and experience will be nice against Purdue.

That’s mister Coleby to you.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@stoptheflop he has done that good ever since cleared to play. His injury really hampered him. Without that he would have been playing first off the whole season.

Michigan St fans calling KU players thugs while Draymond Green is in attendance is pretty funny…
 - 
					
					
					
					
@DoubleDD Absolutely
 - 
					
					
					
					
Our line is fantastic: 53% shooting; 40% from trey and 93.3 % FTs. RCJH
 - 
					
					
					
					
@KirkIsMyHinrich Green is an idiot
Who’s calling the kettle Green?
Dremond Green is a moron. He was the biggest thug of them all. This is a guy who picks fights in the league on the court. He’s not the best Sparty rep.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Their fans are clueless. I went to their 247 board to congratulate them on a hard fought game. I’m sure I’ll get negged and they will post their witty Dollar Bill comments.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@DoubleDD Idgive you more for that post if I could
 - 
					
					
					
					
Do we feel the magic KU fans???
No It’s not magic. This KU team is for real.
 - 
					
					
					
					
CBS w/us for the upset! Nobody believes in us! Chuck
 - 
					
					
					
					
@approxinfinity I don’t watch them much, but Anderson is the coach and pretty much uses same strategies from the 90’s under Nolan Richardson.
Full court press and lots of shooting.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@DoubleDD Dg wasn’t going to milk the clock! He was feeling it!

Mike Anderson is their coach, so it’s probably a good guess they run a 4 and 1 line up like he did at Missouri.

Sure enough some poster said things about Mason that I won’t even copypaste here.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Alright I’m out for the night. Onto the Sweet Sixteen! Rock Chalk
 - 
					
					
					
					
We win the first game by a huge deficit.
We win this game by 20.
Pundits will still doubt KU. Oh well…haters gonna hate.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@BShark from msu! What could they say bad about him?
 - 
					
					
					
					
So who wanted to send JJ to the bench?

 - 
					
					
					
					
MSU 247 board. I already closed it. They are understandably too emotional right now.
UConn boneyard board last year was great. They kept it cordial with me before and after the game. I still post there randomly just to discuss hoops.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@BShark Yeah no…I wouldn’t go to those boards. You won’t have a good experience.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@DoubleDD Not I…Who said send him to the bench? SINNER
 - 
					
					
					
					
It’s hit and miss I like getting a perspective of the other team before tournament games.
 - 
					
					
					
					
OK so I need 2 more favs, and this is how I’m going to win them.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@BShark MSU fans are fickle.
 - 
					
					
					
					
OK, I thought KU had a great chance to win this game but, who here saw a 20 point win!?!?
I sure as hell didn’t.
Way to go KU. #Sweet16
 - 
					
					
					
					
Still can’t figure how bridges got hurt. Didn’t look like Mason did much
 - 
					
					
					
					
I’m sure I will hear nothing from my family members that are MSU grads lol.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Or maybe this way. KU to the Sweet 16. Looking strong and fearless.
 - 
					
					
					
					
According to MSU fans it was a calculated shot by Mason. Because that’s totally realistic. They also thought we ran up the score, you know, when we put Tyler in and didn’t even shoot the last possession.
 - 
					
					
					
					
@Crimsonorblue22 They showed Bridges going up for a rebound or block and he strained his side. He was gripping it when he came down. It wasn’t Mason at all.
 - 
					
					
					
					
Wasn’t his hip!
