Anyone know where I can watch the ENTIRE game again? YouTubeTV didn't automatically record it (usually does if KANSAS is involved) but I guess not the tournament games. I was busy watching it at the bar so didn't worry about it.

I watched it again on YouTube TV just had to search for it

I just got banned from the college basketball subreddit for calling Missouri fans slavers

It says unavailable for me. I can only find the Miami game. Not the Villanova game or the UNC game. What did you search under verbatim?

Rupp Rafters in full meltdown mode all day.

UK fans are losing their shit. They and Cal are the cleanest program in the country. They do not or will not tolerate cheating at UK.

Rupp Rafters 4/5/22

Anyone have access to post CJ moored piece on the athletic? Or if it’s been posted in the thread already

Sorry, I didn't know that it automatically recorded games. It said DVR I thought it was just on it.

Hey guys, the Kansas Jayhawks are National Champions!!!!!

Goddamn right.

If you’re a Chief-Royal-Jayhawk fan, I have a strong feeling that 2014-2023 is going to be the best 10-year sports period of your life.

Already, we have:

1 MLB Wildcard Win
1 AL Central Title
2 AL Pennants
1 AL Single Season Homerun Leader
1 World Series Victory
1 NFL MVP
6 AFC West Titles
4 Home AFCCGs
2 Super Bowl Appearances
1 Super Bowl Win
7 Big 12 Titles
3 Big 12 Tourney Titles
4 Big 12 POYs
1 NBA Number 1 Overall Pick
1 New NBA Superstar
2 Final Fours
1 National POY
1 NCAA Tourney Championship
1 NCAA First Place Finish

It has been a fun ride. The best part is, I don't think it's over yet

KU is always good.
The Royals look to be improving and will be competitive again soon.
The Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes.

Let's keep the party going!

We might have a superstar in Bobby Witt Jr to add to the list.

Another Super Bowl wouldn’t surprise me.

Another Final Four and a couple more conference titles are probably likely.

Enjoy it, boys!

Chiefs, Royals, Jayhawks, and add the Colorado Avalanche for me, who sucked last decade and haven't won a Cup in 20 years, but are now a Stanley Cup favorite (and should be for at least a few more years).

Considering the championship droughts averaged 28 years prior to the most recent 3, experiencing one of each within a decade would be pretty amazing (and 3 of 4 so far ain't bad :))

I was banned from TigerBoard in like 2015

Went to post today. Said I’ve been banned until 12/31/40

(You laugh, but ill be back there in 18 years to take what’s mine)

ROFL

Do you guys think KU will run it back next year? They look like a better team on paper

No. It's really hard. Especially with new talent.

Slim and none come to mind on the possibility but who knows I wouldn't have predicted being champions this year lol.

Impossible to say before the transfer portal shakes out and we find out who’s coming back.

If Braun, Wilson, and McCormack come back, they have as good of a shot as anyone.

If all 3 leave, we’re probably looking at a bit of a rebuild year. Good recruiting class, so that could still be a lot of fun.

ROFL

No

Chiefs-Jayhawks-Raptors-Jays-Leafs for me hasn't been too bad either since that most unlikely 2019 Raptors championship. Would have been better had the 2015 Royals not stolen the 2015 Jays' rightful WS but I can live with it, especially now that the Jays look like a potential dynasty with Vlad Jr.

It wouldn't really make sense for any of those guys to leave don't think they would make the NBA, playing time isn't an issue, not familiar with your NIL setup but wouldn't they make a comparable amount off that compared to overseas?

Dynasty

ROFL

Who knows? It honestly wouldn't surprise me that much if next year's team was better (especially if they keep one of Braun or McCormack), but that doesn't mean much of anything when it comes to the tournament or how good they are compared to other teams.

This was the worst team by KenPom to win a national title since 2014 UConn, so a lot of it comes down to how good the other teams are. It was a major down year without any elite teams in 2021-2022 and KU seriously took advantage of it over the past 3 weeks.

Statistical projections have the Jays at 96 wins this year in the toughest division in baseball. Be afraid.

Some mocks have Braun getting drafted, so I can see him leaving. He might think that he can only hurt his stock by coming back. Or he sees what Agbaji did and comes back for that reason.

Wilson isn’t an elite athlete by any stretch, so he would be smart to come back and prove he can shoot the 3 efficiently. His percentage was worse this year than last. I don’t see why he would leave, but you never know.

Dave absolutely should come back. His image with KU fans has never been better. He’ll be a major focal point of the offense if he comes back. His merch will absolutely fly off the shelves for awhile.

I still can’t believe the shot Kawhi hit over Embiid

You weren't kidding. Check out this thread:

https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/t...caa-is.367359/

LMAO

Shit, I was there and I still can't believe it. After that bounce, I can't complain about luck in sports for a good long while.

What is delusional.

Holy shit.

This is the worst team self has had in a good long while. And they think we bribed the NCAA? Right after they shelled us in AFH literally nobody except maybe McCormack thought we were doing anything. At all. And I’m supposed to believe KU bribed people for THIS team to participate in the tourney? ROFL

Holy shit UK fans are inbreds. Of all coaches to say "going by the book on everything." LMAO

Speaking of inbreds; anybody heard from Rams Fan?

If you had to define what “cope” means, I think you would just send that link to the UK forum.

Not a word in this thread since UK got smoked in the tourney.

He should congratulate the winningest program in NCAA history on their national championship.

Knowing all of those dipshits are hurting that bad is the cherry on top of this delicious sundae

They haven’t felt pain like this since they found out that they were adopted, which means that their sister (girlfriend) isn’t actually a blood relative.

Not a KU or NC fan
But I had to watch that 2nd half defensive performance again last night.
It was just to good.

Half of the board is on the "Fire Cal" movement. LMAO

It’s crazy, because KU doesn’t even have a true rim protector like they’ve had in the past: Doke, Embiid, Withey, Aldrich.

ROFL

The guy who had wins vacated everywhere he’s been and has his guy that they actually call world wide wes?

Riiiiiiiiight. Ain’t nobody clean in college ball. To pretend otherwise is a joke. And to bitch about the year where our best talent is a 4 year KC guy LOL.

I appreciate the updates from Catspause. I was banned in like 2010

UK fans must love throwing rocks from their glass home if they think Cal is a "by the books" coach. What a joke.

Read this yesterday too. KU may have just won with the least highly recruited champion in NCAA history?

Outside of not even making the tourney & playing in the NIT and losing, this tourney has been really rough on UK fans. Losing first round as a 2 seed, Duke/UNC/Villanova/KU making it to the Final Four & then KU winning it all has most of them on suicide watch.

One of the best threads over there is the realization that UConn (3), Duke (3), UNC (3), KU (2), Florida (2), Villanova (2) have more titles in the 2000's than Kentucky (1).

I’ve spent the last hour reading their suffering and have really really enjoyed it. That thread was very nice and you can look at there ‘Who are we pulling for in the final 4’ one from last week too.

I'll have to find that one!

some fans are so catty.



catty,


Catty, get it?


You know.....wildcats, tigers.....catty?

Yeah did I miss something other than choking vs St Peter's? Saw a bunch of them giddy thinking Cal could take the Lakers job and they would hire Jay Wright lol

Rupps Rafters has come full circle: from calling Self a tourney choker, to begging the NCAA to strip his title. It’s glorious to watch this once proud fan base being reduced to KSU/Mizzouche levels of cope.

LOL!

Duke and UNC just promoted assistant coaches. UK is not pulling Jay Wright away from Nova. I’m certain both Duke and UNC at least asked around about Jay Wright.

UK has the dumbest fanbase of any team in any sport. They think they should be winning titles every other year and when those expectations aren't met, they want to get rid of what they think the problem is.

Every single coach they've had didn't meet their expectations & they have wanted fired or gone.

There are some terrible fanbases out there, but UK is the worst by sheer numbers of fans & sheer amount of stupidity.

Holy shit. The floor buckled which caused the injury.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">So apparently the play that caused Bacot to miss the final seconds was a result of the wood floor literally buckling beneath his foot.

That's apparently supposed to happen? :shrug:

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...s-manufacturer

Or maybe the floorboards are just another way the NCAA keeps games close.

There's chatter about how both teams struggled from that end of the court, so now a few Kansas fans are also blaming the missed layups on a fault court.

Yeah they’re on their knees right now. Broken. Knowing that all of the nba ready recruits in the world don’t do you any good if your coach can’t actually coach.

Man this has been a fun tourney

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-ba...s-manufacturer

Company that manufactured the court itself says that's normal. Of course, the company that manufactured the court would probably say it was normal regardless of what happened.

I did read Gottlieb saying it was normal too, though, and he'd probably be in a position to know.

****ing hell. That’s not the best look New Orleans.

Nah, that deflection of the floor wasn't enough to cause what happened.

Bacot had already injured it in the last game, and it just gave out.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I hate to break it to people, but this is what courts are designed to do, they give and flex.

That’s not causing a missed layup. Many of those the dudes were stopped.

That was just our guys choking.

I don’t know that I’ve seen one do that. The other panels he steps on don’t do that. We can argue that it wasn’t enough to cause the injury, but I don’t think they are “supposed to” do that.

Real question is why didn’t they tape it better than that? I’ve had ankles tape that I couldn’t roll on a push off like that. I know I’m no Bacot, but that seems like a soft tape job. I had a student do it once and she didn’t do it quite as tight and I rolled it but I came down on someone’s foot.

Maybe Bacot wanted it that way so it didn’t limit his mobility as much.

Seeing Calipari's inability to scheme even passable offense against St. Peter's was one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen in NCAA. Must have been a real awakening for those fans.

I wouldn't know. Don't think I've ever stepped foot on a college basketball court's floor other than at AFH.

Then I really haven't been paying attention because I'm not sure I've ever seen a floor "give" like that. I know a little bit of give is normal, but I guess I haven't really paid attention to it before seeing that video. I guess my question would be then why don't you see the same give when he steps prior to the injury?

I imagine the movement would have been fine on a healthy ankle, but the tiny bit of lateral movement probably tweaked an already weak one. Either way, all floors will flex some.

Have no answer for that.

Gottlieb is right. He is a complete dickface, but he is right.

Yeah it was amazing. I always knew he got by on recruiting almost exclusively but it was glaringly obvious that game

I’m sure it wasn’t built the same but I’ve even played on an elevated floor in the shitty ass bicentennial center in Salina Kansas and it didn’t move like that.

There is some natural flex with the offset boards, but no floor I’ve ever been on, even a mobile elevated one had behaved like that.

**** Puke and **** K, but there is a wide ass gulf between the Xs and Os (not to mention execution) between guys like K, Self, Wright and probably Izzo, versus guys like Roy and Cal.

There was some of that going around. I was absolutely appalled when Puke threw a zone at Tech, they had no ****ing clue what to do. I’m a hayseed shitheel but I would have at least flashed to the center or short corner. They just ****ing STOOD THERE. I was perplexed.

His foot applied much more force on that last step than the previous. And that force also had a more lateral vector.

Now that they lost the wins lead, they’re on their knees begging the NCAA to vacate the 30 wins DeSousa appeared in. Since he was ineligible.

They seem to be unaware the NCAA cleared DeSousa with the knowledge his uncle was paid by Adidas. Maybe they will say “We have looked into our decision again and we goofed.” ROFL

Fair enough.

LMAO

I saw some of that. Pathetic stuff. They’re ready for another 9 win Cal special and know they’re never getting it back
