As long as you don't give up the three, we were guaranteed a shot to tie it up. I now we had had some success with the press, but I thought the lower risk at that point was the smarter play.

Naw, that wasn't Self's fault. That guy was a complete reerun for shooting that shot. He made it, sure. He shots 37% on the season. He should have missed it, esp w/ the pressure. Should have have missed that shot, KU would have had an extra possession and probably would have won the game.

If I was that coach, I would not be results oriented. I would bitch that kid out for shooting that kind of bullshit w/ 31 seconds on the game shot.

You're so full of shit. I remember that video you posted. That is a perfect example of what Roy is talking about. I'll bet you have already ordered your No. Iowa shirt to go along with your Bucknell and Bradley shirts.

X was actually better than I thought he'd be. Well, he was at least he same player I thought he'd be. I didn't think he'd avg 14 a game, but I thought Cole and Tyshawn would score more. X is who we thought he was. He's gonzo. Best of luck to the kid

What video?

I hate to rub it in to KU fans...well not actually but I have a question & a point:

Why didn't KU press sooner in the game & MU would have ran & pressed Yes Iowa out of that gym.

The big Irish forward was laying some nasty screens. That was really frustrating KU.

Instead of getting pissy and whining to the refs they should have attacked the basket. Settling for jump shots is what KU did against Tennessee, OkState, and UNI. Same *^@%ing result.

I don't think you're rubbing it in. We're all saying the same thing.

I agree, but all I'm saying is it was one of the factors leading to the "perfect storm" of fortunate/unfortunate events leading to the result today.

Can't wait till the Chiefs have the opportunity to be upset and not play as the god damned underdog...

[KChiefs1]

I really like Self as a coach but it took him way too long to start pressing. I'd like to see Mizzou vs Northern Iowa to see how they could have handled the Fastest 40.

The football team is irrelvevant? Is that why your douchebag fans stormed the field when you beat them for once?

The fact is all you do is troll on this board and say other peoples lives are miserable is hilarious. Now go out with your frat bros ya'll will fit nicely with the rest of the pot smoking emos in Lawrence.

[Braincase]

COngrats to Northern Iowa. I only got to see the last few minutes of the game, but KU had their off game today. Oh, well. Good luck to the rest of the Big 12 teams the rest of the way.

I'm thinking Bill Self realizes that too, now.

I'm not going to say that Nebraska is irrelevant or anything, but you have to admit that you troll KU threads pretty damn hard.
