Kansas and Nova were pretty even in 2016. That was a really close game between two really good teams.
Nova’s free throw shooting in that game was incredible and proved to be the difference. I wasn’t too bothered by the outcome though, because it was just a really good matchup.
Regarding the Stanford loss, I’ll always wonder what could’ve been had Embiid stayed healthy. He had become the worst matchup in college basketball. I’m still surprised he ever managed to overcome his injury issues.
