K State wants to beat KU so badly year after year. That win last night made their day ( or even the season). I never got that excited after beating KST, us KU fans only think about winning the national championship.

@Kcmatt7 it’s a great timeout with 23 sec left but a head scratcher with only 5 seconds remaining. Stopping the game with only 5 seconds left allowed the defense to reset and put time pressure on your own offense. Self is a great coach, and even the great ones can make a questionable decisions sometimes.

@jayballer67 Harris has a tendency to choke at the most crucial times. He turned the ball over at the end of the National championship game last year, he turned the ball over at the end of the regulation , and he turned the ball over at the end of the OT. He almost gave away the National Chamo6 and he did gave away this game to K-State.

@wissox If we won a national championship after his gloom and doom, perhaps he should do more of that this year.

40 pts and 19 rebounds in the two Final Four Games, Dave should have been the tournament MVP. You are right; Dave showed up big at the most crucial moment with that offensive rebound and put-back.

@Kcmatt7 and he called for the ball when Och shriveled. Man.

Dave Mac took charge when it mattered the most. Champion!

Strong D, block out, and rebound. we will win.

@BeddieKU23 count me in

In 2008, we came back from down 10 pts with only 2 minutes to go. We can do it tonight. Fight hard. We can do it. Start with D and rebound. Let’s go!!!

Yes, this is winnable. We did it against Miami. We can do it in the 2nd half. Be steady. One basket, one stop, and one rebound at a time. Make yourself proud guys. Let’s go!

There you go. They can’t guard our drivers. Get there and at least draw fouls

Relax. Just focus on D and rebound. Do the things we can control and the shots will fall. Let’s go!

Kansas D.

The stars are aligned for KU to win our 4th championship on the 4th day of the 4th month. RCJHGKU!

@wissox I hope Coach Self would let go of the notion that 3 pointers are “fool’s gold”.

@Kcmatt7 I think you maybe right about, this may be an emotional let down from beating Duke and Coach K in the semi.

I am cautiously optimistic about winning Monday night.

1. Our defense works better against the Heels. I don’t think they have played many tough defenses this season. Bill Self was always tough against the North Carolina type of transition offense. When Self was in IL, Roy’s teams had always struggled to score against Self. Of course, KU’s defense owned N. Carolina under Self.
   2.North Carolina’s defense looks rather soft especially with dribble penetration. We have 3 decent players who can drive downhill: CB, Wilson, and Remy. They can totally disrupt the Carolina D. (Ochai can also drive, but he lacks the aggressiveness…same with his shooting.)
2. The refs. If we get the same crew as the the one did the Villi game, we would own N. Carolina. I think KU was only called for 8 to 10 fouls the whole game against a Villinova offense designed to move, penetrate and draw fouls. It’s incredible. Bill Self’s team, above all else prides itself on playing tough and sometimes physical defense. If the refs are going to let them play, advantage KU.
3. Hubbie is less experienced. He did a great job this far, but Self has been here before and coaching matters in a pressurized game. Adv. KU. RCJHGKU!!!

MVcormicP!!!

Go Dave. He da man today!

Reach down deep. It’s crunch time. Man up!

Be strong and be tough. Go Hawks.

Ignore the bs. Stay strong. Punch through those bad calls. Go Hawks.

@stoptheflop yes. Ochai needs to be more aggressive.

@benshawks08 it’s good. Just have to keep it up in the 2nd half.

@Kubie yup. Now we have something good to look forward to all week !!

@FarmerJayhawk let’s go!!!

@BeddieKU23 welcome to the tournament!

@BeddieKU23 but I just saw Miami made 2 treys in the last 4 processions. We don’t play well against teams that can score in spurts

Heart attack, but a happy win.

Yes we can. Let’s go!!!

C’mon offense. Ochai

Thank goodness we have Remy.

Forget Dave Mac. Just play both Harris and Remy. Wilson is our best rebounder anyway; no need for DMac.

@jayballer67 Bill Self was hired by an interim AD.

When Judy was here, the strength coach get lots of credit, e.g. “after Hudy work on him for a couple of years…”, “we need to have Hudy work on him,”, etc. I haven’t heard much about our new strength coach. I don’t even remember his name even though I read an article about him. But look at Doke this season; he has become a force on defense being lighter, more agile, and with an improved endurance. Kudos to the seldom-mentioned new strength coach.

@jayballer73 no worries. Those who are deterred by the snow are not the ones that rock the Arrowhead. Plus, the cold weather hurts the warm climate team like Houston more. Let it snow, let it snow.

@FarmerJayhawk K>Self ?

@HighEliteMajor some points to consider: 1.The FBI did say that we are not at fault, 2. KT’s phone conversation reflects his mindset, but KU didn’t actually do anything that violated NCAA recruiting rules, 3. Also based on KT’s conversation, Zion W. wanted to play for pay; and Zion played for Duke. If anything, Duke should be the one to be nervous, 4. Will NCAA really vacate KU’S games for something beyond ‘institutional control’? That is, judging from a reasonable standard should KU have known that DeSousa was inelgible 5. The point is not about any legal logic, but rather your personal value. How much does it really matter if NCAA vacates our Final 4 year? l have already experienced the high of beating Duke and making it to the F4. They cant take away my memory. I’d be concerned if we had actually won and it will be taken away. No one remembers the 2nd or the 4th place finishers. 6. Nothing in the court documented texts proves anything. They are all circumstantial evidence that defense uses to create doubts. “We good,” “now just got to get a couple real players…” well, this is recruiting. No where did we offer to pay any money. The only paying party is Addidas and its rep: T.J. Gassno… 7. T.J. GassN is an Addidas employee, not a KU booster. NCAA can think however, but he ain’t a booster.

@BShark i like it that he has a quick release on hos shots. He seems to be able to pop a 3 off dribble quite easily.
