Seeing as Bearcat banned me from the KU basketball thread for daring to use statistics to dispel the constant trashing of the team’s best player this year by far, I’ll need somewhere to put my thoughts for this year’s tournament.

In sum, the committee screwed KU again. Their resume (and wins) should have had them at at least a 6 seed and maybe even a 5. Arkansas is also the toughest matchup they could have had among possible opponents and KU matches up horribly against them (stay tuned as to why).

As far as the rest of the tournament goes, I’m picking Houston to win it all and Kentucky (fraud) to lose in the first or second round.

Goddamn atrocious offensive effort.

If Houston has a little pride they'll take a decent shot here.

This is basically over. Houston doesn’t have the goose to come back double digits vs this Duke team. This is probably the ceiling for Houston. You’re not winning a title with no offense.

So, anyone care to remind me on how KU beat this duke team?

Why Not? · 04-05-2025, 08:15 PM

Time to go make something else of the evening.

I'm giving it til after half a bit but it looks like domination.

I think this Duke team might be the best college team I’ve ever seen

Regrettable as it is

Duke sort of choked honestly. KJ of all people shut down Flagg, which is absurd too.

They are pretty damn dominant.

Why Not? · 04-05-2025, 08:58 PM

Sigh. What’s it gonna be, 6 titles for Duke now? Or have they won before Coach K?

They went to a Final Four before him but they didn't win it all.

I thought they might have a letdown going into the tournament somewhere but nobody can even keep a game close against them. Just no weaknesses at all and the talent is overwhelming.

HonestChieffan · 04-05-2025, 09:02 PM

Duke is just so solid

Well they're paid players and can leave any other team at any time almost. I don't know if it's the best team I've ever seen I'm just not surprised if it is.
