3rd NCAA conference championship, but 5th national championship, buddy.
-
I’m smiling!
-
What a finish.
This was an emotional game for our local alumni group, and for more than the obvious reasons.
One of our regulars had died suddenly of a heart attack a few days before the Final Four. Adam was a real gregarious guy who’d buy a shot at the end of each KU victory…he called it “the winning shot.” So when we won the championship, a bunch of us did shots in his honor.
-
The team this year deserved to play for this too! Now I’m not smiling! I do get it. Life’s not fair!
-
@nwhawkfan that was a sweet memory!
-
Now I want to see 1988
-
Well, that was a nice respite. RCJH ! Everybody stay safe out there.
-

-

Lolol so good

Kansas-Purdue from 1994 sweet 16 when Glenn Robinson is on BTN at 3 and at 7. Not the most painful loss we’ve had so I might watch.
-
@wissox no losses! But wins, thx for updates!
-
I know, there’s few losses I like to rewatch. I might just to see the guys from that era play.
-
@wissox I’d like to see the wins against Roy.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 YouTube has them

I’m sure someone else has posted this somewhere already, but this is fun to watch:

Self narrates the ending of the 2018 Elite Eight game against Duke in Omaha. This game will re-air on CBS Sports Network on Sunday, March 29 at 12 p.m. and 7 p.m. central.

@bskeet that was so cool! Where did you find that?

That one still stings. For the first 15 years of my true Jayhawk fandom (starting in ‘89 a year late to the party) I could tell you every stinking team KU lost to and the final score. Most of that brain space is wasted on work info now.

Nice! Glad he’s doing them as a series.

I did watch the 2nd half of the Purdue game. Robinson had done most of his damage in the 1st half so I didn’t see a lot of what I remember. Cuonzo Martin was on that Purdue team too, so they were pretty stout. They’re a competitive program that just hasn’t been able to climb that hurdle into the FF. Of course it’s their own fault in that epic game against Virginia last years elite 8. Why 3 Purdue guys would leave defending the basket to chase a loose ball down court in the last seconds of a certain win had they just stayed home where they should have been, there’s a different champion.
That KU team was still pretty young, Jacque Vaughn, Scott Pollard were some names that would play a big role coming up.

@BShark arent we doing the game?
️ It’s duke!

Marcus looks so different
-
Duke players reflect their coach, so whiny! KU tough! News flash, I know!
-
Watching the 1985 Championship, Villanova v. Georgetown, I find it very weird when you compare it to today’s game.
No shot clock, so Nova went into the four corners and sat on the ball for the last two minutes of the first half. Also minimal (and pretty basic) TV graphics, so you had to wait to find out the score and time if you’d just tuned in (or hadn’t been paying attention before). Not to mention having Brent Musberger on the call instead of Jim Nantz.
-
And of course, the short shorts.
-
Malik made tripper look silly!
-
Earlier today ESPN2 aired the 1992 Sweet 16 women’s game between KU (w/Angel Goodrich) and Pat Summitt’s Tennessee Lady Vols.
Wasn’t sure why that particular game, until I realized that Summitt had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s earlier in the season. It turned out that her final win as a head coach was against the 11th-seeded Jayhawks.
(They lost in the next round to eventual champ Baylor, led by Britney Griner.)
KU started strong and led the entire first half, but the Lady Vols pulled away for the win.
-
Correction on the date of that game…2012, not 1992. (Got distracted watching the 1995 men’s final.)
-
1985…geez
-
@nwhawkfan angel was so good, I watched the girls back then, just to watch her. She was a good pt!
-
@nwhawkfan Didn’t KU have a 20 point lead at one point in the 1st of that game?
-

Never thought I’d say this, but I miss Bonnie -ball. At least they were reasonably competitive.

I think it was around 15 or so midway thru the first half. Then the Vols made their comeback.
-
Was pulling for Nova in that '85 final. I’d watched Georgetown win the title the year before at the Kingdome (RIP, imploded 20 years ago last week).
I thought the Hoyas were a bunch of cheap-shot artists, though I admired Ewing’s game. The Big East refs let players get away with a lot of stuff back then.
-
And now CBS brings back bad memories…the 1997 final, Arizona (who upset overall number 1 seed KU) vs. Kentucky.
Shoulda been us in the final. What a loaded lineup, The Truth, Jacque, Pollard, LaFrentz, Haase.
-
@nwhawkfan And then follow it up with the 2010 title game. That might be the most under appreciated team of the Bill Self era. That was the most loaded front court in recent history. Cole, the Morris Twins, T-Rob, and Jeff Withey (after Fall semester was over). Plus a senior Sherron Collins running the show, and the second best OAD to roll through Lawrence in Xavier Henry. 8 guys from that roster played in the NBA at some point which is more than the title team had.
People talk about the missed opportunity the following year because KU lost in the Elite 8, but to me, this was the second best team of the Bill Self era only to the title team until this season.
-
Forgot how Malik dominated Duke in 2018. He was the only one to score in OT! Crazy…especially now that we know what Devonte was capable of.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Games on tv:

It was featured in an email I got from KU… not sure which dept.
-
@bskeet it’s on the ku athletics website. They have the winners from the tweets from the game, some sweet man/woman caves
cool pics! Everyone needs to check it out.

I watched the first half (cuz im old and need my rest) of the 2008 game vs NC last night. It was a beautiful thing. NC was the overall #1 seed and averaged about 300 pts per game that year (something like that). They were supposed to steamroll poor, pathetic (35-3) KU. I remembered beating them, but I forgot that we got out to a 40-12 first half lead. I should have just stayed up and watched the whole thing because I was amped!
So, after watching the 1988 game a few nights ago, where we were also supposed to get steamrolled by a far superior, freakishly athletic OU team - (and if I remember correctly we also beat them) I’ve come to the conclusion that when we get to the title game next year, we should pray that we get to play a far superior team who is supposed to crush us.

That happened in 2012 and Kansas lost.
