Other than Kansas being a blueblood, etc. Is that Kansas can't lose to Michigan or Loyola, and last thing we need is Kansas to win a championship with how loaded Kansas' roster is going to be next year with incoming recruits and transfers becoming eligible.

Kansas has to be the odds on favorite next year to win the championship. Agree?

They'll be the favorite unless we get everyone back ;)

I’m pretty sure I saw Kansas lose basically a home game to Washington. They can most definitely get beat by Loyola. I wouldn’t expect it but it certainly can happen.
 
I have Kansas ranked third in my Final Four rankings.

It's not going to take some juggernaut to beat 2017-18 Kansas

I'd rather Kansas win than Nova, their fans are at least tolerable on the board (outside of the douchebag Esteban guy) and they rarely win titles. Nova fans (and generally people from Philly) are just awful.
Loyola and Mich can both beat Nova. Kansas will torch both those teams. Just good matchups for Kansas.
 
If we lose those three, we will still be pretty good, top 5. But we won't be a favorite to be better than Kansas or anything. If we get Knox back and lose those other two, I like our chances going into next season against anyone.

I have a weird feeling one of Washington or Vanderbilt will jump.
 
I think this FF will be all about guard play. But one thing KU has no other do is Udoka Azubuike. I really haven't seen anyone be able to stop him. Only thing that stops him is fatigue or fouls.

Este woke up with a broomstick in his ass this morning lol!

Hoping him mom watching him play for the first time in 6 years will make him go all Shaq on nova

I am wondering if the parents/visas are motivating or distracting. If it is motivating for Svi, Doke and Silvio nova might be toast.

It's not just this morning, he's a terrible poster. When he's not being a total homer (if that's ever happened) he acts like a KU insider when it comes to recruiting and is wrong ALL THE TIME but still wants to fight with anyone who disagrees with him.

tldr version: @Estebanbugatti1 ****ing sucks.
 
His free throw shooting was awesome.

I assume there is no way in hell Knox returns. Why would he? Are you hearing or hoping?

Combo of both. There is smoke he really loves the college thing and playing here. His family is high middle class and isn't in need of anything. He's probably gone, but if he comes back, it wouldn't shock me. If it tells you anything, it is much more likely we lose Diallo and SGA than Knox.

You don’t go to Kentucky to play more than a year. We need to keep that theme alive and well. If these kids ever stay more than a year, well, I just hope none of em ever do. That’s Roy’s secret sauce, dammit.

It would be refreshing for us at this point. I'm trying to not get my hopes up. Its the demise of every UK fan ever.
 
How is Michigan a good matchup for Kansas?
You will find out if Kansas plays them. Superior athleticism. No one who can check udoka. Superior guards.

Villanova can win with superior guard play. No one else left has better guards and no one at all has a better inside game than Kansas left.
 
Preseason ranking mean shit to me. Who would’ve picked these 4 teams as the best in the country, in the preseason? Obviously Nova, KU homers would’ve picked Kansas, but Michigan and Loyola? No way.

Lots of good players coming back next year, and a ton of new talent coming from prep/high school.

How so? Udoka's a mismatch both ways. I think the odds favor more of his dunks going in than Spellman's threes.

Jay Wrights doesn’t agree, but I’m glad you think so.

Probably one of the worst posts I’ve seen on Rivals in years.

You label that as one of the worst posts you've seen on Rivals? Man you are TRIGGERED! LOL! I think it's hilarious that between Duke and Kansas, you couldn't ask for a better matchup by playing Kansas. Duke is a terrible matchup. You sir are just biased.

How am I triggered? Did I go off on you? Did I try some kind of clever retort? I spoke the truth. The truth sometimes hurts. Seems like to me, you’re the one who’s “triggered.”

You have yet to explain how this is “nova’s to lose.” Not surprising, since it’s complete bullshit, but I am curious why you think so.

Hmm....lets see. Villanova is favored by 5. Yes, FIVE over a team that just beat Duke in OT. They shot 4-23 against a great defensive team last game and still won by 12. They had Im pretty sure the most 3 pointers made in history between the first two games of the tourney. They have every piece possible that you could possibly want to win a national title. Their offensive efficiency ratings have been through the roof. From Versatile Mikal Bridges to AP POY Jalen Brunson, most likely NPOY. I mean I don't see how I need to go on. How is it NOT Nova's to lose? I've yet to see you explain that. So thanks for "calling me out," which you didn't do. A team that's been at the top of the AP all season long, who's favored by 5, yes FIVE to a really good KU team. I mean the ESPN BPI gives Villanova a 73% chance to win tomorrow. That only goes up if they make it to the championship game. Yet it's "BS" to say it's Nova's to lose.

Yes. You are being biased. But that's to be expected when I'm talking about your opponent.

I know you're going to come back to this tomorrow IF KU wins. I'll just ask to please refer to me where I said Villanova was 100% fact going to win. I just said it's Nova's to lose and clearly most agree, besides KU fans. The line wouldn't be -5 for almost a week if I was wrong.

Oh I’ll most certainly come back to this if KU wins tomorrow. Believe that shit. Lol.

Nova and KU play basically the exact same way. 4 guards who can all shoot, a big inside. Both have 1st team AA’s, Brunson having the edge as NPOY (which he deserves). Nova has been one of the best teams all year. Kansas is playing its absolute best ball as of late. Kansas won the toughest conference, both regular season and championship. Kansas has survived the toughest side of the bracket thus far. They’re no pushover, and I promise Wright isn’t brushing us off the way you are.

I would love to see Kansas win the Championship if Loyola can’t. They are due.
