I dont think they care much about D, thats just the time in between jacking up 3s.

Kind of funny that the bracket ended up with 2 matchups that could shut KU down, but gave both of those teams matchups that shut them down before they could get to KU.

Had to make this one... it was calling my name. LOL

We did fine in the first Baylor game. Don't forget that at Baylor KU did not come out to win. No passion, no energy, on the road, you get blown out by a team that was supremely motivated for a number of reasons. I'm gmuch happier to be playing Michigan that VCU. I usually trust whatever Self can plan and prepare but we just don't have the ball handlers. If we are lucky enough to get to the title game and meet Louisville there...holy shit that will not be fun.

I would actually love to play Louisville. Siva is terrible and we would match their defensive intensity blow for blow.

We could barely break WKU's press, you think we could break L'Ville's?

Like I said, I wouldn't put it past Self to work some magic in that kind of a scenario, but based on what we've seen this year from KU in the ball handling department, and watching Louisville play at the moment, I think it would be a disaster for KU.

I think KU needs to attack the press. I've notice them and other teams just sit back and wait for it to come. Their problems aren't so much their ball handling as people think (yes it could be better but it's not atrocious) but just sitting back and letting the press dictate you. It would be a great match up. It would probably be the lowest scoring game in tournament history lol.

And again, Siva is a basket case. Our D would rattle the shit out of him.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Ball handling (specifically dribbling) isn't horrible, but our passing under pressure is bad

Anybody notice how in the game Tyler self gets? Hes always bitching with the refs and standing and screaming with his dad. Kind of a cool small thing to see

Yeah, North Carolina and Roy Williams are just gonna lay down. You think KU fans aren't taking this game seriously? Moron.

Miami is as fine as any other team in this tournament, which is to say that they could lose at any time and it would surprise no one. My point, though, was they didn't deserve a #1 any more than Gonzaga, KU, or Indiana.
