Fran Fraschilla picking Clemson over Kansas on ESPN-U radio. So in other obvious news of the day: The sky is still blue. #KUhater
Have I mentioned how I feel about Fran?
I lose more respect for this man by the comment. Every comment he makes, causes me to lose even more respect. Iâd say, I donât respect his bball analysis or rep at all.

@justanotherfan Thereâs a point where Coach Selfâs coaching can take a team only so far, and then the team has to seal the deal. Coach Squidâs teams suck when they are in rebuild mode, so they make NITs, and 5 seeds. But when theyâre a 1 seed, theyâre really, really good. We make # 1 seeds with teams where we openly question how weâre even in the running for it ( like this year ). We never rebuild, so coach can take his 5 guys, and get them to win to give us a high seed every year. It doesnât mean weâre one of the 4 best teams in the country - it means we have met the criteria in order to get a higher seed. Our schedule is normally really good, and our conference normally is considered in the top 2 or 3, so when youâre winning a great conference, that is going to go a long way towards seeding. This year it seems different in my mind. I think we have the talent and ability to win it all, even if we have warts. Now, I think we could use a little luck- maybe a Cuse upset over DookâŠmaybe a WVU or T Tech upset over Nova would help. But I have a great feel that this team will be playing for all the marblesâŠ

Who has churned out the most NBA talent?
-
@dylans The âmostâ? Not KU. But the âbestâ according to that author, mostly because of the singular talent and career of Wilt!
Several other interesting articles in that link, by the way, if you scroll down.
-
@mayjay I was quantifying the most talented starting 5 as the most talent. Not the highest total of 1st round picks. 1 seed baby!
-
Interesting, KU playing with 3 centers. I imagine that if the seeding was based on current players in the NBA, the seeding would be different and several teams would not have 5 players.
-
No UNC helps too.

This guy has some interesting takes.
-
Seeing the TAMU we have seen most of the year tonight.
-
Loyola!!!
-
Come on A&MâŠyou are not coming back from 20 down with just over a minute left, quit fouling.
-
BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE
-
LIBERACES ON FIRE!!!
-
Bruce is going to get a lifetime contract if he wins this game lmao
-
This is amazing. I hope they keep it up. Bruce to the FF!!! KU KSU NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!!!
-
Have to hedge SGA or he will be in the lane all night long. Looks like they are going over the screener on him too. Go under on him for sure. If he is going to hit 3s, fine.
-
To put KSUâs start in perspectiveâŠ
Jeff (BPredict) â @BPredict 7m7 minutes ago
Kansas State currently has a 110.0 eFG%. If they make a layup on their next shot their shooting efficiency will DROP.
-
Knox looks like he developed a peanut allergy late in life and his pregame meal is a PB&J.
-
Kstate peaked at the 15:00 mark in the first half
-
Have you ever seen someone with such a forehead roll who wasnât in Anaphylactic shock? I can never quit looking at it.
-
-
This may turn into a free throw shooting contest the way this game is being called.
-
Something about Washington rubs me wrong.
-
Two on Knox. Go post him up.
-
Meh, not wasting any of my good luck on KSU.
-
K State came to play, good for them. I hope they beat UK so it is owned by both major Kansas programs.
-
Probably one of the more surprising names to not be mentioned in the FBI reports was Leonard Hamilton imo. Recruiting out of his mind.

Botox, maybe?
-
Two blatant fouls on that KSU breakaway. Neither called⊠And UK fans complain NONSTOP about how they get boned by officiating.
-
Question : if Silo Tech wins, does 'Tucky automatically get awarded 5th place in the B12?
-
Can you imagine these refs calling a West Virginia game?
-
@JayHawkFanToo âK State came to play, good for them. I hope they beat UK so it own by both major Kansas programs.â
This should help recruiting. When the worst team in Kansas beats the best team in KentuckyâŠ

-
WellâŠthe worst team in Kansas now appears to be Wichita State.
-
If is any consolation to UK fans, they can still beat MUâŠ
-
@JayHawkFanToo lmaoâŠ

Hamilton is a solid coach. Thereâs also an insane amount of talent in FSUâs backyard that they donât land to not really make me doubt his recruiting. I would have been more surprised to see him on there than not.
Hamilton is an above average coach that most programs would take his track record in a heartbeat.
-
Most FSU fans wanted Ham fired btw before thisâŠ
Now what do they do?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I donât recognize them.
-
-
@justanotherfan So iâm assuming Calipari didnât have his players motivated and ready to go last night? Or maybe KSU has the same level of talent as UK? Or did Calipari as a higher seed just get upset in the Sweet 16? HmmmâŠ
-
@Jayhawk-in-OKC maybe he canât coach? Players are so young! Lol
-
They got beat. Thatâs now the 10th time in 25 years Calipari has lost to a lower seed. I know your point, but compared to other top coaches, he still grades out quite well by comparison.
Iâm sure that both Roy Williams and Tom Izzo, being the great coaches they are, would never lose to a lower seed like that.

Honestly, you can pretty easily boil it down to fts. If PJ Washington hits fts at his average rate UK wins.
-
âGreyson Allen, the only senior for either teamâŠâ Oh no, Greyson is a One-And-Done, you must be mistaken.
-
Rafftery calling him âDoo-valâ instead of âDoo-vawlâ I didnt think you could screw that one up. huh.
-
Big 12 with 3 teams advancing. Nice
-
@justanotherfan By all statistical standard Calipari is a great coach. Heâs a superior recruiter who does very well with all that talent. I just took umbrage with the âalwaysâ comment and I admit to disliking Kentucky basketball immensely. No disrespect intended with these back and forth comments. Rock Chalk fellow fan!
-
@approxinfinity thatâs what all the announcers have done all season so I think itâs actually correct
