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.

When were they the golden standard? When Bob Cousy played?

15 to 3

Don’t turn it over 4 times in a row to end the game and lose by a point

Because it just means more

Well I’m gonna miss this. 7 months until it’s back again so I guess we’ll all just have to be patient

Booooo

Storr makes one shining moment, UK nowhere to be found

No surprise there

Lot of shots of players reacting to things in slow motion during One Shining Moment because there were so few buzzer beaters and upsets. Did about as well as they could there.

You can repeat that until you’re blue in the face, every game has multiple factors that will swing throughout a game—free throw shooting, fatigue and momentum, foul trouble, matchups, but when you have a single factor that tilts for so long in one direction that weighs on the outcome and the circumstances at the end of a game. Florida didn’t play a less physical style during the 2nd half than Houston. Houston did have a problem organizing a consistent offense throughout the game and that was a factor at the end.

Florida has won the same amount of rings as Kentucky and Kansas combined in the last 2 decades.

Glad I could put a mutual end to this.

Go Gators.

This team played the exact same game against UConn, Texas Tech, Auburn, and now Houston.

They’re deep, resilient, and have playmakers. Tough to hold down.

Was a great atmosphere there tonight.
