I thought we beat Villanova at home last year, or the year before, avenging the loss at Villanova? I thought we did because Frank Boal went to Villanova and was talking about it on the radio.

[BigVE]

I'm nervous already.

[Reerun_KC]

RCJ!!!!

Bring on the game... I am so excited.. I just might Bill Walker myself, right here and now!

Not that I could find. They beat us by 21 in 2005 and we haven't played them since. Our guys were freshmen in 2005.

[Reerun_KC]

That was the year they had Sumpter and he totally dominated the Hawks...

We better stop Reynolds tomorrow night or it will be a quick exit from the Dance.

One player can't beat KU this year. Not even Fizer.

[Skip Towne]

These announcers are sickening. Just bragging on Pagett over and over. Pagett has all of 2 points. Yeah Pagett. The point center.

[Reerun_KC]

One player can't beat KU this year. Not even Fizer.
I tend to agree.....

[Rooster]

:KU::KU::KU::KU::KU::KU:

[Mr. Laz]

if we shoot well early so we get confidence ...... we win.

if we get nervous and start throwing up bricks ..... gonna be a long night.


the dreaded butt-pucker just kills you without superior coaching

That Villanova team was much better than this one and this KU team is much better than that one.

LMAO See now...wouldn't you almost rather we make it into the tourney so we'd have less time to pester you? I was actually looking for that "International Sign for Choking" picture but couldn't find it.

Actually, I think you would give your left nut to have the history, records, titles and tradition to be labled chokers, but your just posers instead...:D

[Sure-Oz]

I'd think this team is more team oriented than the past but ive seen great KU teams go down in flames, that would suck for them if it happend again. They have looked like a machine this year...

I would be quite happy though, but i have them losing to Wisconsin in my bracket.

[Reerun_KC]

I have them destroying Wisconsin in my Bracket...

UW plays that Herm Edwards type of Junk Ball in the Big 1eleven111!!!!111... They are afraid to score points...

Wow, Davidson is up 15 on Wisconsin with under 10 minutes to go. I think if KU wins tonight, they will be playing Davidson on Sunday. Of course, first things first. This is the NCAA tourney and anything can happen. The way KU has been playing, however, is pretty darn good. If they continue that, they should win going away.

[Sure-Oz]

Wow, since my bracket will get fuxored by Wisconsin losing to Davidson, guess that means KU will lose tonight :P

I predicted originally that wisconsin would beat ku in the next round, guess herm ball doesn't work in basketball either.

Stupid MU. Should have picked KU all the way. :p

[Lzen]

Does anyone know if the KU game will be delayed since that UW/Dav game is not finished yet?

[Sure-Oz]

Stupid MU. Should have picked KU all the way. :p

Well someone in our bracket picked KU all the way and they lead overall in our 25 teams....

too bad they ****ed up the tie breaker with the total score being 22 ROFL

I meant my company's bracket, everyone chipped in $10 a piece and im tied for 2nd overall with 4 diff people and there is only 1 1st place person and they ****ed it up by not combining the scores, cracks me up

Total of 25 people playing so if i stay in the top 3 ill get some $$$

[Bearcat]

Does anyone know if the KU game will be delayed since that UW/Dav game is not finished yet?

It will tip 30 minutes after the end of the first game.. the corner of my tv says 8:50ct.

[alnorth]

Well, I looked it up, and Kansas will not break the all-time record for easiest (on paper) path to the final four. The best they could hope for would be the 3rd-easiest path of all time, and the easiest in 7 years.

Michigan State holds the record for easiest path to the final four, set back in 2001. Before falling to Arizona in the final four, they defeated a 16 (Alabama State), 9 (Fresno State), 12 (Gonzaga), and 11 seed (Temple)

We have 2 teams tied for 2nd-easiest path:

The 1990 NCAA champion UNLV Running Rebels made it to the final four before winning it all by defeating a 16 (Ark. Little Rock), 8 (Ohio State), 12 (Ball State), and 11 seed (Loyola Marymount).

North Carolina also had an easier time in 1991 before losing to Kansas in the final four by defeating a 16 (Northeastern), 9 (Villanova), 12 (Eastern Michigan), and 10 seed (Temple).

Where did you find that info?

[ROYC75]

Anybody thinking Villanova is going to lay down and let us roll over them is crazy. Easy ? On the NCAA thread, there are so saying we have it soooo easy !

We have to bring it or else........ Time to let it roll baby, Rock Chalk !

[Lzen]

Yep. KU should know it very well. Nothing in the NCAA tournament is easy. That is especially true when you are talking about playing in the 2nd weekend.

[Bearcat]

Very true, but for me it's hard to get nervous about games versus teams like UNLV and Villanova that haven't done anything all season.

At least Villanova has a couple of wins versus high tournament seeds (Pitt and UConn; I refuse to give them Clemson because they did everything to lose that game)..... but they also went on a 5 game losing streak that would have been 7 had it not been for a 2 point win versus Seton Hall, and lost to Georgetown by 20 a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not saying Villanova can't win or that it won't be a tough game or that the players don't have to show up. It's just that I'm much more nervous about future games (Sunday, for starters) than tonight.

I'm looking ahead, but I hope the players aren't. ;)

Just remember the Bucknell Bison, so i would be nervous in any game, it is a playoff

[banyon]

It's been almost 2 minutes, it was time for Arthur to pick up a foul.

[Braincase]

We own the paint tonight!

[1ChiefsDan]

You try too hard.
Not really - that was pretty easy

[Lzen]

Villanova is stupid to try to trap Kansas. They have a have a lot of good ball handlers and they have shown the ability to handle presses and traps all year.

[Skip Towne]

We own the paint tonight!

There isn't any paint.

[Lzen]

Is it just me or does 'Nova do a lot of moving(illegal) screens?

[Lzen]

Missed Kaun wide open in the paint. Good thing Russell hit the 3 anyway.

[Silock]

That lob to Kaun was nice.

[Silock]

Is it just me or does 'Nova do a lot of moving(illegal) screens?

Big East teams never do anything wrong. Didn't you know that?

[Lzen]

Russ Rob with another 3!! KU up 14 early. :)

[KCFalcon59]

Robinson with the 3. Nice.

[alnorth]

Kansas is getting a little too cute with the unnecessary magic passes today. A team like North Carolina would have picked off many of them for easy breakaways, but their hot shooting is masking this bit of carelessness tonight.

[Lzen]

Big East teams never do anything wrong. Didn't you know that?

Umm.......what?

[Mr. Laz]

if KU stays focused ..........

[Bearcat]

Just remember the Bucknell Bison, so i would be nervous in any game, it is a playoff

The only reason I'd be nervous of a team that was 10 seeds lower than mine would be the fear that my team wasn't going to show up. That Kansas team had major transitional issues with their coach and even went on a losing streak towards the end of the season. They were inconsistent and not playing their best basketball.

This team has not shown up once all season, and it was a road game after 7 days off.

On top of that, 12 seeds have won a total of 1 Sweet Sixteen game ever (and is the lowest to ever do it)... 13 seeds have won 15 first round games.

Again, Villanova could win, any given Saturday night blah blah blah.... not that nervous. ;)

[Mr. Laz]

could we get a few more commercial please

[Bob Dole]

In this day and age, it's absolutely ridiculous that they don't show both games split-screen.

[007]

could we get a few more commercial please

That's no joke. GEEZ!!!!

Oh fu*k north carolina. i'm sick and tired of hearing the worshipping to their asses. we'll see how it works out in the FF

[007]

YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pikesome]

Damn!

[Braincase]

If I tried really hard, I could dissect every aspect of this game and find all kinds of stupid shit to o complain about, but I'm going to choose to kick back, enjoy an adult beverage, and enjoy watching KU disfreakin'mantle Villanova.

[007]

In this day and age, it's absolutely ridiculous that they don't show both games split-screen.
No thanks. When my team is on, I don't care about the other games.

[Boon]

Rush with 9 pts

[007]

What is with the sound for this game?

[007]

Ahhh, no I see the sound issue. they have that mike on the floor right near center court. Was trying to figure out why the bounce of the ball kept getting so damn loud.

[1ChiefsDan]

holy shit - do we now how to block out and rebound?

[Silock]

Nova is stepping up the defensive pressure, creating turnovers. They're back within 10.

[KCFalcon59]

Getting a little sloppy now. Too many Offensive rebounds for Villanova.

[Boon]

no shit-5 shots at the basket!

[Friendo]

wow-KU is pounding Nova!

[Skip Towne]

Ahhh, no I see the sound issue. they have that mike on the floor right near center court. Was trying to figure out why the bounce of the ball kept getting so damn loud.

Probably that shitty antenna you have.

[Boon]

Liked the video sequence of the above the rim action.

[1ChiefsDan]

If I tried really hard, I could dissect every aspect of this game and find all kinds of stupid shit to o complain about, but I'm going to choose to kick back, enjoy an adult beverage, and enjoy watching KU disfreakin'mantle Villanova.I agree with you - but the rebounding is driving me crazy.

Now for another drink

[Boon]

I've had enough viva viagra shit too.

I've had enough viva viagra shit too.

You STILL can't get it up?!?!?......................jk

[BWillie]

I've had enough viva viagra shit too.

that's a catchy ass tune. i like it. but they buy that space c uz there are alot of 45 year old guys with a limp noodle watching. good marketing if u ask me

[Boon]

Sloppy play!

[Silock]

This is stupid. Nova needs to keep up that double team, because they were getting back into the game with it.

[1ChiefsDan]

that's a catchy ass tune. i like it. but they buy that space c uz there are alot of 45 year old guys with a limp noodle watching. good marketing if u ask meif you say so limpwillie:evil:

Get some porn!

[Boon]

Need to be pounding it inside----NOW!

[Braincase]

Nice interior play by Rush, Kaun.

[Silock]

Damn. That was a crazy sequence.

[KCFalcon59]

Chalmers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Braincase]

MARIO!

[Boon]

Chalmers has the stroke now

[Skip Towne]

Lighting it up!!

[Boon]

Does Reynolds walk or what?

[007]

How the hell was that a charge?

[alnorth]

These refs love to call the charge, seem to be favoring defense tonight. Meh, I'm fine with that.

[CoMoChief]

How the hell was that a charge?

yeah no shit.

[Boon]

Need to make a statement to close out the half.
Would love to see a thirty point margin come the end of the game.
Give davidson something to think about tomorrow.

[Al Czervik]

Christ....7-4 on the fouls....
Bout the only way Nova will stay in the game...

[Bob Dole]

No thanks. When my team is on, I don't care about the other games.

Which is fine, as long as you aren't stuck watching Michigan State and Memphis right now. :)

[007]

When did we start calling the Elite Eight the Final eight?

[Lzen]

Does Reynolds walk or what?
Exactly what I said.

How the hell was that a charge?
Exactly what I said.

[Silock]

Case is in!

[Silock]

Robinson has gone ice cold.

[Sure-Oz]

Kansas in control, so much for an upset bid

[Mr. Laz]

i don't know what they hell Reed and case were in there for ... but we'll take it :D

[Boon]

Exactly what I said.


Exactly what I said.

Great mind think alike?

[Lzen]

Robinson has gone ice cold.

Yeah....WTF? The guy had 13 points in the first 8 minutes. The last couple of shots he put up were bricks. :shake:

Oh well, KU is doing fine.

[Al Czervik]

wow-KU is pounding Nova!

Ah, you were saying???

Toolshed

[ROYC75]

Case ! I called that shot as we came down the court. Nice half !

[alnorth]

When even Jeremy Case is hitting 3's, its difficult to avoid overconfidence.

[DJJasonp]

I love how this team looks so workman-like....and focused.

They are definitely on a mission.

[ROYC75]

i don't know what they hell Reed and case were in there for ... but we'll take it :D

Probally Self was thinking they would play off of them and take the lane away, leaving open a 3 ! After all, how many teams know Case is a good shooter ?

[Mr. Laz]

heck ... until senior night WE DIDN'T know case was a good shooter. ROFL

Then I want to bury UCLA...

Payback and a Championship all in one :)

Meh, Davidson didnt do anything to us. I'm fine with just a win, if they fight and fall short thats ok.

The other 3 shall be buried with all haste.

[Mr. Kotter]

Wouldn't a KU-Memphis Championship game just be something else, or what......wow. :eek:

:thumb:

Davidson and Curry, and North Carolina and Roy stand in the way though....damn it. :cuss:

[DJJasonp]

I just want to keep winning....I dont care how....I dont care who.

If Roy Williams is shedding tears after we beat him......what a bonus.

[Lzen]

heck ... until senior night WE DIDN'T know case was a good shooter. ROFL

We knew he was a great shooter in practice but not in games. ;)

[Bearcat]

Great game to sit back and enjoy, and Sunday's game should be a very good and competitive game.

This time last year I was I was in the fetal position on the floor in front of my TV, not caring so much if Kansas beat SIU, as long as the game ended as quickly as possible.

Villanova's Bucknell. LMAO I liked the part about "the Big East had done pretty well". I guess what some call 'depth' I call 'mediocrity'. :shrug: In tonight's case, it's 'suck'.

[Boon]

I want to bury Villanova...

Then I want to bury Davidson...

Then I want to bury UNC...

Then I want to bury UCLA...

Payback and a Championship all in one :)

I'm down with this.
Another banner in the Phog!

[Lzen]

I remember reading something about how KU was pretty beaten up and tired last year after playing So. Illinois. Perhaps Self is simply trying to keep his team fresh.

[Skip Towne]

Probally Self was thinking they would play off of them and take the lane away, leaving open a 3 ! After all, how many teams know Case is a good shooter ?

Reed is also a great shooter.

[ROYC75]

heck ... until senior night WE DIDN'T know case was a good shooter. ROFL

I've known it all along, just we had players that were better at the point, quicker and can play better defense. Case has always been a good shooter, Roy recruited him as a shooter from Oklahoma.

[Skip Towne]

Michigan State is awful.

[Ultra Peanut]

A 19-point lead? THAT'S the best you can do? Tsk tsk.

[ArrowheadHawk]

I want to bury Villanova...

Then I want to bury Davidson...

Then I want to bury UNC...

Payback and a Championship all in one :)
I would just be happy with 3 wins and the title of Champions.

[Braincase]

The Big Ten is awful.

FYP

[ArrowheadHawk]

A 19-point lead? THAT'S the best you can do? Tsk tsk.
:doh!: Not everybody can play an overated Izzo team.

[Bearcat]

If Roy Williams is shedding tears after we beat him......what a bonus.

"Roy, what was the biggest factor in your loss to Kansas?"

"I dont' give a sh*t about Kansas!"


Bwahahahaha... :fire:

Really though, I don't see UNC as revenge. Coaches move on. And oh yeah, must win two more games, must win two more games, must win two more games..... :)

[Lzen]

A 19-point lead? THAT'S the best you can do? Tsk tsk.

Lol, you're funny. Nice 30 point halftime lead. Memphis looks pretty incredible tonight.

[ROYC75]

Reed is also a great shooter.

So is Conner Teahan, but that's about all he is .

[DJJasonp]

"Roy, what was the biggest factor in your loss to Kansas?"

We are saving ourselves for Cinderella and the Ball !

[Lzen]

Reed will be the next Kirk Hinrich. ;)

[Bearcat]

:doh!: Not everybody can play an overated Izzo team.

We're playing a team that's overrated as a 12 seed.


Wow, based on seeds, just about the worst sweet 16 match up possible and about the best sweet sixteen match up possible.... and they both suck.

[ArrowheadHawk]

We're playing a team that's overrated as a 12 seed.


Wow, based on seeds, just about the worst sweet 16 match up possible and about the best sweet sixteen match up possible.... and they both suck.
I like it. Better than the pressure pack game last year with SIU.

[Boon]

At the half:
Robinson--13 pts
Rush---11 points
Chalmers---8 points

How many in double figures tonight?

[Al Czervik]

I guess the refs never call over the back....

[Al Czervik]

Rush, Chalmers, and Collins with 3 fouls each...

Need DA, DJ, and RR to step up now...

[teedubya]

The refs are letting them play, which keeps KU in the flow.

[Boon]

KAUN!!!!

[Friendo]

for the long-time Jayhawk fans--how does this team stack up to previous editions? they look pretty strong to me.

[KCFalcon59]

Kaun!!!!

for the long-time Jayhawk fans--how does this team stack up to previous editions? they look pretty strong to me.

Lots more balance. More depth. Especially inside.

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUNNNNNNNN!

[Ultra Peanut]

:doh!: Not everybody can play an overated Izzo team.I was joking and all, but seriously, you're playing Villanova.

Wow, based on seeds, just about the worst sweet 16 match up possible and about the best sweet sixteen match up possible.... and they both suck.No, I think both of these games are pretty awesome.

[1ChiefsDan]

I grew up a Jayhawk fan (my dad taught at the med center in KC) and this is the best team since Manning.

This team should win this tournament

This team is as good as any that Roy had. They are very deep at the bigs as well as the guards. The one thing they do better than Roy's teams is that they play very tough, physical defense. Plus, this team knows how to attack zones. Roy's teams always had trouble. If you wanna know about teams before Roy's, you'll have to ask someone else. I don't remember much about those because I was just a kid during the Ted Owens and Larry Brown eras.

[Friendo]

well, it's shaping up to be an epic FF

That would be fun, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Still have another game this weekend.

[BWillie]

Rush, Chalmers, and Collins with 3 fouls each...

Need DA, DJ, and RR to step up now...

naw, the games over bro. just coast from here and not get anybody hurt

[Friendo]

That would be fun, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Still have another game this weekend.


tomorrow night in fact!

Not in my opinion. That '88 team had 11 losses. We've had several teams better than them.

[alnorth]

That would be fun, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Still have another game this weekend.

Not to get overconfident and all, but it will probably be a nationally televised practice session to prepare for North Carolina. The winner of that game will probably then take a victory lap 2 days later. (unless Texas makes it all the way as well)

Davidson has a nice little 3-point shooter? Cool. Its not like Kansas hasnt been en fuego from the arc this year or anything.

[1ChiefsDan]

Not in my opinion. That '88 team had 11 losses. We've had several teams better than them.
Which ones?

[Skip Towne]

Which ones?

'97 for one.

[Friendo]

what did you thnk of Phog's teams?

[1ChiefsDan]

'97 for one.
explain

[Al Czervik]

The 93 team was pretty strong too....

Rex, Adonis....Woody...

[BWillie]

Which ones?

Are you kidding me? We've had a ton of teams better than the '88 team. The big 12 was real strong in '88 don't get me wrong. but we have had AT LEAST 3-4 teams better than the '88 team. You have to remember you have to have some luck and win six straight games in the tournament. Just because you win it doesn't mean you are the best team, just means you deserved it.

02, 03, 96 and 97 teams were all better.

[BWillie]

explain

uhhhh...thirty four and freaking two

[Boon]

Kaun is playing S-T-R-O-N-G!

Damnit, they just cut me away to MSU/Memphis because MSU is on a 16-0 run.

How were/are they better?

[Lzen]

Skip probably attended games Phog coached. ;)

[BWillie]

Ya know what is funny? Except for Roy's first year when we were on probation. The most losses KU has ever had is when we last won the national championship in '88. So the key to Kansas success is losing in the regular season. I guess that means we are screwed this year haha ;)

[1ChiefsDan]

Last years team was 33-5.

[alnorth]

A national championship is just a trophy. A very impressive coveted trophy, but just a 6-game contest all the same. It is not the indisputable proof that you are the best team in the country.

[Braincase]

Back up by 21

[BWillie]

If you played NBA style seven game series the last 20 years KU would have about 3-4 championships. You need luck, the right draw, and good play to win the national title. It's amazing how many people refuse to accept that there is alot of luck in sports. some days you have it, some days you don't. it's not because you weren't playing hard. some times the shots fall. there is no divine destiny of who should win the championship. i think ur watching too much angels in the outfield

[Lzen]

Nice, I thought maybe that was the case. I see you have been around long enough to know some things about this place. ;)

Yup, in baseball, NBA, and hockey its really damned hard to argue that the team standing at the end is not the best team. You dont luck your way through 2 or 3 series.

You do have to be a GOOD team to win 6 straight, but the best team can easily have an off night and be out.

We can agree to disagree, regular season is nice (see Chiefs records during late 80's/early 90's) but championships define a team.

88 was better - I think the 2008 team can be the next one.

Therfore, in my opinion, the 08 team is better than the ones you stated.

No one outside the conference remebers the conference champion.

Ted Owens had some shitty teams. I doubt '88 had the most losses ever. But I'm too lazy to go look.

:clap:

Yep, people say Kansas should have won in '97 because they were the best team in the country. Well, they weren't the best team in the country in '88, but I don't see Danny Manning shipping his ring to Paul Pierce any time soon.

In 70 years of basketball, FIVE schools have more than 2 championships.

[007]

I think he was referring to KU teams that actually had a shot at the championship.

Yep. You dont necessarily care if you are the best team, because 1) halfway through the year, we can pretty much eliminate everyone but 3 or 4 teams from being "the best", and 2) they dont hand out banners to the team that shows itself to be the best by objective measurement and popular opinion.

Part of the fun is to overcome all odds and be crowned champion in spite of not being the best. To be the David that toppled the Goliath. The Giants sure as hell were NOT the best team in the NFL last year by a long-shot, but I bet their fans dont care, because they beat the best on the "any given sunday" and have the trophy.

[Braincase]

KU has shut it down a little too early from my perspective, but I do believe the game is in the bag.

[BWillie]

Noooo, I'm not saying they SHOULD have one. I'm just saying they were better than the '88 team. Nobody deserves to win. If you win the games, my hat goes off to you. You deserved it. Doesn't make you the best team necessarily, but it does make you the undisputed champions...unlike in college foozball

If they decide to change they format of the tournament then the debate can change.

For now, the team that wins the tournament is the best team in the country.

Hopefully we can agree that we want KU to win this year.

I doubt you paid much attention while you grew up a Jayhawk fan. That '88 NC was a total miracle. OU had beaten us twice before we beat them in the NC game. We certainly can agree to disagree. Go to KUSports.com and spew your shit and you will get pummeled.

[007]

Damn I hate it when teams foul when the game is all but over.

[007]

And they have found a way to talk about Duke at the end of this game.

[1ChiefsDan]

I didn't say this team was better than the 88 team. I said it was the best team since.

I think they will advance past the 16, past the 8 and past the 4.

Time will tell.

BTW - they will advance past the 16 based on the score right now

[007]

Memphis is getting their asses handed to them in the second half.

[Braincase]

Hey, Roy,

Before you hang it up tonight, go ahead and launch the KU/Davidson game thread, will ya?

[alnorth]

I'm too lazy to check. Have we had a year since 1985 where all 4 #1 seeds made it through?

Go back to your room in the old folks home.

Alzheimers is a bitch.

I don't care what the regular season was - they won the championship.

Best team in the nation that year.

If Davidson wins this year - they deserve the title.

God I hate old, bitter f*ckers like you

[Skip Towne]

:LOL: Was it Dukie V or Billy PACCker?

It has never happened since we went to the 64 team field.

[1ChiefsDan]

4 #1 seeds have never made it to the finals since they expanded the tournament.

Would have to ask our resident old fu*ker, skip, if there have been any before. He can give the history since 1800 - he lived it.

[HemiEd]

Memphis is getting their asses handed to them in the second half.

:LOL:

If that does happen, and UNC ends up beating Memphis, we will have a TON of retarded monkey brackets breaking 20-way ties for 1st in bracket pools all across the country.

haha come on. skippy is fun to listen to rant and yell at kids that run onto his lawn. i think we will finally agree to disagree. i still don't understand how winning six games in a row makes you the best team. it makes you deserve it, yes, but the best...no.

If a #15 seed happened to win it, would that make them the best?

[007]

:LOL:

Hey, they are getting outscored by 12 right now.

I know there's a difference between the most talented team and the best team, and I think there can also be a difference between what the scoreboard says and the actual best team.

Kansas didn't even win their conference in '88. They were the best team over the course of a few weeks, and yes, when it mattered.. but IMO the 'best team' is the one with the best resume.

You don't put "I got an A on my final" on your resume, even though that's the one that matters.

Obviously, it doesn't matter... it's a good debate. I'm glad the tournament has worked out like it has this year... I like seeing the very best in the EE and FF, and that's what we're going to get :clap:

[Boon]

Hawks shot 52%. Held nova to a measley 36%.
Nice defensive effort.
Bring on Davidson Sunday.

[Skip Towne]

Just because I didn't live the orgin of basketball liek you.ROFL

No it's more that you aren't very smart. You make really stupid statements on a board that has real Jayhawks fans. Like I said, go put your ignorance up on the Jayhawks board. You'll get run out of town

[Silock]

I didn't say this team was better than the 88 team. I said it was the best team since.

Are they the best since '88 if they lose on Sunday? Or is the '03 team that lost the championship by 3 points to 'Cuse the second best?

[Coach]

Nice win KU fans. Good luck aganist Davidson. I'd be intruged to see how they'll match up aganist Curry. Dude is tough to defend, especially in the 2nd halves...

This is not like saying I got an "A" on my math test. It's more like saying I proved my theory of .....

How this guy isn't anywhere on NBA draft boards is beyond me. Guy has all the tools except he's kind of a pussy. He can't take much contact, but he's a guard so he'll be alright. I bet he can bench 185 pounds...Durant can't say that and he's averaging 20 a nite in the pros

[Skip Towne]

God bless "Danny and the Miracles" but they were far from the best team that year. We used Stickboy (from Tulsa) for a point guard and Danny (as skinny as he was) was our "Big Man". We borrowed a Wichita State transfer from the football team, Clint Normore, as another guard. Does anyone know who Chris Piper is? That NC was truly a miracle.

[Boon]

This is not like saying I got an "A" on my math test. It's more like saying I proved my theory of .....

I thought it was a great analogy, but actually it's flawed.

If the math final is comprehensive, even if you had a C- all semester, getting the best grade on the final goes a long way in proving you're the best student in the class. If you weren't paying attention all semester, you certainly can't fake it for one test.

And not that I need to finish the analogy, but if you're mediocre all season, winning your 'final' only means you won your final, not that the rest of the season was just a fluke. It's the other way around... the final was the fluke, because you're comparing one game to an entire season. It's exactly what you said, you're the best at that point in time. Not overall.

I don't think George Mason was one of the top 4 teams in the nation a couple of years ago, but they were certainly one of the hottest teams in the nation. It goes back to what BWillie said... peaking at the right time, a hot goalie, a cold shooting streak by an opponent, bats dying in the playoffs... stuff happens, and it's not always the best team that wins.
