Obviously they’ve had a bit of a unique way of getting here, but after they win it all this year there won’t be any real argument left for kU being a better program historically.

Does that rustle the jimmies or do you all welcome your new canine overlords?

Honest question not trolling.

Whatever happens, I imagine it will still feel better than watching the best team in program history lose to Norfolk State as the biggest favorite in NCAA tournament history.

Yeah that was tough day.

I remember watching Phil Pressey’s last shot clank off the back iron and thinking to myself, “Damn, so this is what it must’ve felt like for kU fans to watch Todd Reesing pluck sod out of his facemask.”

Brutal feeling.

This game ****ing rules.

Might end up 95-90

This Bama/UNC game is easily the best game in the tournament so far.

[Why Not?]

Iowa State sucks

[comochiefsfan]

Too bad Nate Oats is a murderer apologizing piece of shit. Doesn’t feel good to have to root for UNC.

They do. They are a university of chokers.

Woof, that Cormac fella could grow up and turn into Gohlke someday.

This is a fun paced 1st half. But the reality is, Bama is gonna have to stay red hot on offense and mostly from outside all game. There is a much higher chance that they cool and UNC pulls away late than there is of this being a fun game both halves.

UNC isn't this good.

Bama goes on spurts like UNC has just now. They can score 10-12 pts in a flash. I've watched them do it a lot this year.

I agree. But I think they are much better than Bama. Hope I'm wrong. I basically secure an in the money spot if UNC loses (most of the guys in my bracket either picked UNC or U of A to win it all)

Yeah, Bama can score a ton in a hurry. But they can also go ice cold and I think UNC is more physical and if Bama goes cold, it could get ugly.

They had 10 threes in the first half and they are a team that doesn't take many threes. That won't last.

Iowa State's shot selection is abysmal.
