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.
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.

Tyshawn was more of a combo guard/scoring point guard. He was great for that team, but I'm a bigger fan of having a pg who facilitates and can knock down a jumps hot or get in the lane when needed. I'm not a fan of having my pg be the "scorer" on my team per say. I loved tyshawn, but I think right now, Tharpe is playing pg, as good as just about any pg self has had. He's rarely had a true pg at KU, more combo guys who play pg.
