Disagree. Both are really good for their team, but they aren't doing the same thing. Tyshawn was required to beat people off the bounce and score or find Robinson. Tharpe is required to let Selden,Wiggins, and Embiid buzz saw ****ers. Tharpe is doing that better than Tyshawn could (I postulate). Tharpe cans do what Tyshawn did.
Tyshawn was ridiculous. Just stupid fast with the basketball. Dude was absolutely the catalyst for the offense that boasted Conner Teahan as a starter and laughed at defenders trying to stay on front of him to the national championship game. Conner Teahan as a starter. National championship game. To me that's more impressive than what Tharpe is doing. But the fact that it is a discussion is ****ing awesome. Hopefully I get to chow on crow about Tharpe for the next year and a half.

Frankly it's gotten boring running roughshod through the league. I know that's just heresy for a KU alum to say that but it's true. I look forward to the non-con and the NCAA Tourney more than the league play and it wasn't always like that. I didn't enjoy the Ted Owens days but the Larry Brown days were damn fun. We've killed the enjoyment of college basketball for our whole region.
About all that gives me solace is the fact that it's my team that wins. It keeps idiots from other fanbases (which are the rule rather than the exception) from talking shit like they do during football season.

No. I'll take this over 38-10 "intrigue" every day of the week. I'd concede the point about duke unc adding to the conference and the overall experience.
