Don’t forget, he’s the worst driver on the board. I’ve started referring to people who won’t gtf over, as “brooky.” As in, “Jesus tits Brooky, get the fvck over!”
Love you @brooky03
I love their FV Iced coffee. It isn't DD good but it is very good for commercial stuff.
yeah, It's just silly to not get over and out of the fast lane. Almost as bad as those that drive on the curb and try and merge.Don’t forget, he’s the worst driver on the board. I’ve started referring to people who won’t gtf over, as “brooky.” As in, “Jesus tits Brooky, get the fvck over!”

Easy title? Even if Duke hadn't shit the bed at the end of the KU game I wouldn't call playing Villanova in the final four easy.
Yeah, I don't care for either outside of the coffee and breakfast at McD. I don't really eat much fast food though.
Don't start talking shit about Whataburger, we will throw hands.
Never had it. If I am talking about overrated burger place it's Five Guys. Turrible.
Man that’s the truth. Can’t believe they’re so proud of their French fries. Yuck!
Five guys would rule in Memphis. Dyers and Huey's is overrated. Greasy spoons in backwoods appalachia would be embarrassed to serve their burgers.
If K knew how to coach bigs they’d have steamrolled their way to a title. Jussayin’. Roy would’ve won with ‘em.
On a serious note, I agree Nova would’ve been a very tough out, but I think Duke was the best team left, just didn’t play like it Sunday. Why they didn’t just feed Bagley over and over and over and over and over, I’ll never understand. He was unstoppable. And he took the fewest amount of shots of anyone in the starting five. Inexcusable really. And the actual truth in my aforementioned joke is that Roy would’ve made sure Bagley led his team in attempts, not Trent.
You can't feed a guy over and over again when he's being double teamed everytime he touches the ball and the whole gameplan of the team is to deny him touches in the post.If K knew how to coach bigs they’d have steamrolled their way to a title. Jussayin’. Roy would’ve won with ‘em.

If Allen and Trent could have kept KU honest from deep, Marvin would have had more room to work with but alas it wasn't meant to be.
This. Doubled and sometimes tripled teamed. When Carter was on the court, it made his job a lot easier. Without Carter and with Allen/Trent missing a lot, there was no need to leave Bagley and yet we still ALMOST won.
Outcoached? I wouldn't say that. Self's game plan worked because Duke didn't make the shots plus Carter being in foul trouble.
Kansas played smarter and their patience paid off working the ball around. Dok being out was really tough b/c that left a 2nd semester high school senior to man the post. I think Svi's defense surprised Bagley and when we ran a second defender to double when he actually managed to get position, Bagley did a poor job of passing out of the double----Duke had multiple guys make wide open cuts.
On a side note---There is no athletic reason why Carter and Bagley are such poor defenders. Even in the zone its like they were willingly giving up the middle and corner. The corner three is our forte. The gameplay didn't make much sense. Even when Vick got the ball in the middle it seemed like nobody collapsed.
Yeah it isn't about being outcoached. A game that close is just about executing. In the end the KU players just executed a little better than the Duke players.
It was interesting the adjustments in the 2nd half. With Duke's guards struggling to hit 3s and Carter foul trouble KU really didn't have to make too many adjustments on defense until Duke went exclusively to the pick-n-roll with Allen. While on the opposite side K had to make several adjustments because KU started to find a lot of holes in Duke's zone and KU made the adjustment eventually to each adjustment Duke made.
Kind of crazy watching that game when you think about the style of play these 2 programs usually play with the last 15 years. Usually KU is the one attacking inside with pick-n-rolls and post offense while Duke is the one attacking with the drive and open looks off the drives and ball movement. A complete reversal.
Exactly. Everything that could go wrong for Duke went wrong and everything went right for Kansas. It was a great game with several lead changes. Just high level. No shame in losing a game like that. Wish you guys well in the FF.
I don't follow KU that much but I'm not sure if Dok is as big part of their offense as Carter is to Duke. Also, Carter is our best defender down low. KU went on a run when Dok was on the bench and Duke fell behind with Carter on the bench. Then Carter came in and scored like 6-8 quick points late in the second half before fouling out. He meant more to his team than Dok did to his IMO. Wasn't he out during the Big 12 tournament and KU still won it?
Yeah we don't have them either but every time I'm in an area that does I take advantage.
I agree completely Quavarius. Not to downplay Az and his value to KU but Carter was really important in the zone defense. Duke’s defense was bad when he was on the bench, and that’s not just last night either. This has been the case for a while. Couldn’t mask it last night though. Carter needed to be better at not getting pretty lazy fouls.
This is nonsense. Doke fouled out for them and they shot below average from 3 and still won. Self out coached K last night, plain and simple. They carved up that zone all game long, but missed a lot of open looks. You are acting like Duke played atrocious and KU played the game of their life.
Fans always sort of rationalize losses. It's what we do. While I disagree losing Carter was more important than losing Dok I think both fanbases could make their argument and think it is perfectly reasonable. I don't agree that one guy outcoached the other. Guys make plays. Both teams had dudes that did that but KU made a couple more. That is almost always what it comes down to.
That’s definitely fair. That game could have gone either way. KU made more plays. So it went their way.
I mean, people forget that Allen shot was basically down and then the narrative would have been Duke made the plays. That is life in this tournament.
You have to remember...this was the thrid time this year that we had seen the Syracuse 2-3 zone played against us. (five times if you include that abomination that Baylor plays). We handled it fairly well against Syracuse because we were hitting our threes (won by 16). Did not handle it well against Washington because again we weren't hitting our threes (we were 5-20). We shot just as well from 3 against syracuse as we did against Duke from 3 (36%). So we just needed Duke to miss shots. We played the law of averages that a guy who shot 28% from 3 for the year wouldn't be able to beat us. Didn't take into account Trent having one of the worst shooting nights of his career. We need some luck, got said luck, and we get to keep moving on.
And like I've said before, if that Davidson guard hits that 3 nobdy remembers the 08 KU team.
Yes, and us UNC fans wouldn't have to remember that beat down you gave us, lol. It's a hell of a game. Hell, UNC had 5 games during their run last year that all could have gone either way. Then no redemption.
Yeah. Kansas didn’t exactly set the world on fire, so the narrative wouldn’t have been “Duke survived.” Neither team played great, and that’s why both had a shot at the end.
This is true too. Other than our ‘09 team, every team that won it in my lifetime (games I remember anyway) ‘93, ‘05, and ‘17 could’ve had the road end before the nets were cut.
