Day 10 Tournament Game Thread
-
Goodnight all.
I’m going to go puke now
-
Too bad. wI gave that away by not closing out strong and hitting FTs.
-
Never let them take the 3 pt shot for the win. Foul’em. Worse that can happen is another OT.
-
-
This is bad for SC. Their defense won’t be a shock to UF.
Sorry @wissox! Your guys gave it a good try but they were just spent at the end.
-
@brooksmd I disagree. Hayes missed like eight free throws by himself. Cant do that.
-
I would have used my last time out. Have him miss the second ft. Or set up a better D on the make… To many guys too far forward. Once one was beat. They all were
-
I don’t cuss, but I feel like it. Badgers choked, then the dude made a good shot obviously

SCar and Florida split their regular season games with each winning at home.
-
@wissox they had a good run. For what it’s worth my wife had them playing KU for the NC
-
@cragarhawk That’s more faith than I had in them! Sure glad the Jayhawks are playing again tomorrow! The Badgers overcame some horrible 2nd half officiating tonight. Offensive goaltending not called, Happ called for a charge when the guy had a foot inside the arc. Block on Iverson who spent five minutes waiting in the lane for the Florida guy to run him over.
But on the other hand, Florida shot very well, made some plays and won the freaking game with an unreal shot.
-
@brooksmd Some coaches don’t think until it’s too late. Sayonara sucker…
-
@globaljaybird Both coaches!
-
@globaljaybird Yep. If Sleazy had his players foul Collins in back court we probably wouldn’t have won the NC in 2008.
-
@brooksmd There ya go … GN Mike on da rebound
-
@wissox crazy finish. Basically identical to the shot that forced overtime. Only not as well defended IMO
-
@Blown Sheep is a rather simple term, perhaps not doing justice to the point I’m trying to make. Instead of using many words, I used only 1.
I’ll try again, here: Anybody can root for anybody. All I’m saying is that I’m personally not going to root for certain teams, while I absolutely WILL root for other B12 teams. The portion that makes me feel like “just a sheep following the herd” is some notion that just because another team is in the B12, hate us, gunning for us, but ope…woop…now we in the Tourney so we must all root for them.
Here’s yet another IowaSt fanbase story, just learned of this last week, as told to me by a KU grad: his buddy was going to Butler juco, got recruited by IowaSt football to come for campus visit in Ames, IA. So the KU kid drives his friend. KU sticker on car, of course. They got free tckts to Cyclone-ku bball game, so they go. KU kid went to h.s. w/Perry Ellis, wanted to see him play. They come out of game, find dagger sticking out of car hood. Poked dicctThats f-ckin’ sports?.. and adding that to all the other crap, like I’m going to root for their team?! Nothing at all against Brackins, Niang, Monte Morris, Deondre Burton …fine players. Or Hoiberg, great guy. But I’m still not rooting for them!
Call me petty, I’ll agree with ya. Say I hold grudges, I’ll say that’s mostly true. Ask me to blanket support B12 teams, I’ll say “wait a minute…” Certain teams fanbases are on par with Mizzou. Do I have to remind anybody about that “Missouri 83-Kansas 0” sign they held up in Arrowhead? And a Missouri judge has it framed on his wall. Is that sports??! (83 civilians killed by Quantrills raiders, Lwrnce, KS).
But wait, when Mizzou was a Big12 team, I suppose you’d root for them also??? I remember a lot of laughter after NorfolkState. They didnt make the Big12 look bad…sheesh, they made themselves look bad!
Ask Nathan Power of KSU if his hate is petty, or if it runs deep? Then you decide for yourself (not the rest of us) if you still want to root for their team? Nothing against their team, or their oddball coach. They tried to injure our players. “Herd” mentality right there, caught on TV…you like that word better than “sheep”. Same connotation, but at least “herd” isnt sounding as meek “sheep”, eh?
I reserve the right to root for whoever, but its always qualifed, never blanket acceptance. Despite Marshall’s dislike of KU & Self, I do root for WSU, for many personal reasons, & because I respect Marshall’s coaching both ends of the floor.
By the logic presented above, we’d be rooting for ku #1, then Big 12 next, without any qualifiers about Mizzou (in their B12 era), IowaSt, KSU, or TX? Go root for whoever you want, but dont expect me to blindly follow.
-
@ralster It doesn’t say Big 12 on the jersey- it says Kansas. I don’t root for other Big 12 teams, and could frankly care less whether they win or lose. I only care about Kansas.
-
In most years, I’d argue that the fate of the Big 12 affects whether recruits want to play in the league (are the games televised? are the matchups hyped up? is the media following the team?), and where the selection committee places us based on RPI or whatever metrics they decide to use,
But this year, Kansas Basketball is transcendent: POY front-runner, dynamic offense, sneaky good defense, exploding in radiant colors in March, and still ESPN is luke-warm at best to what is happening. So I don’t know. Big 12 matters, but maybe not to the point where we have to root for teams we personally don’t usually like, just because.
I’ll root for Huggins, among others, though. I like him.
-
I find myself more cheering against teams/conferences than I do cheering for other teams in the conference. SEC of course is my nemesis, and this is a nightmare of a postseason as the league we make fun of all year has a guaranteed final 4 team, and possibly two.
-
-
@mayjay lol, nice work.
-
@mayjay LMAO…guilty as charged, your honor…
-
OK, ok…I will root for the rest of the Big 12 teams the rest of the tournament…oh wait…
-
@mayjay Perfect photo that you have entered into evidence, sir: Frank Mason and KANSAS are doing just fine representing the BigXII! You couldnt have picked a better representative!
In other evidenciary proceedings, we see Baylor and ScotDrew have beshat themselves, yet again…the evidence mounts…
