I have no idea WTF the Duke bigs were doing. They got theirs but they should have wrecked us on paper. Maybe the ACC isn’t as good as I give them credit for and they just look good vs ACC teams.

Maybe Kazoo shit the bed on prep.

Maybe they all got boozed up last night.

I don’t know. But it is something ridiculous. Their 2 bigs are ****ing good.

We were fortunate that Malik Newman has balls of steel and came through repeatedly in the clutch. He’ll need to keep doing that because as good as Duke was, Villanova is much better. They are undeniably the best team in this tournament by a wide margin (the best in NCAA since 2015 UK and Wisconsin) and an offense that is just about impossible to stop effectively. They are basically a far better version of ourselves. Accordingly KenPom isn’t giving us more than a 29 percent shot at this one. It is too bad they don’t reseed at this stage because it may take the upset of a lifetime to bring Nova down.

Duke may have had the superior talent, but we were absolutely the better team.

Can we just celebrate the fact that Greyson Allen won’t be in the final four. College basketball is a better place when Duke has a truely hateable player.

This kind of delusion is of KCJohnny proportions...the only difference is KC_James_Bond doesnt admit to being a combat veteran.

I don't know about all of this James Bond talk, but I've never once predicted KU to lose any game they've played. I've simply presented the odds for what they are. In fact, if anything, I could be said to have predicted them to win as I have them winning my bracket (albeit against my better judgment).

This is the great misperception about probability-based statistics. Just because the less likely outcome occurred (the 36%) in that particular instance, it does not mean that the stats were in any way wrong to begin with. There was always still a 36% chance that what transpired yesterday actually would occur.

That dude is going to be T-Rob dominant next year.

De Sousa made Carter and Bagley look soft all game. He's going to be incredible and likely one of the best rebounders this program has ever had.

I also don't know why Svi chose this game in his college career to remember that he's 6'8, 2'10 with incredible leaping ability but I'm glad he did.

Self's defense forced the ball out of the hands of their mismatch (Bagley vs. whichever guard) more often than not and K never really adjusted. Led to a lot of shots for Duval but we were all right with that.

I believe I said that they have the statistical profile of a regular 3-4 seed in the tournament, not a #1 seed. That is true and also continues to be the case.

KCC obviously roots for KU. He's just not afraid to say what he thinks about the team's chances.

He's the same poster he has been for years. I don't know why so many people in this thread have suddenly decided to whine so much about it.

What an unbelievable night on Mass Street! I took my daughters, and we had a blast!

Can we also take a moment to recognize Svi’s incredible box out at the end of regulation? That saved our season.

Just an incredible final minute there for him.

I have always enjoyed the quality ball that KU has so consistently produced. It is a great program with such history and brings great ball to the very heart of the country. Hope that go all the way.
