Ya pretty ticked off that the Zags are gonna have the hardest Elite 8 matchup
Nope, go away. Your timeout isn't over yet
That's how it looks. Congrats to the Noles. I'm glad Oregon doesn't have to play them
I would start worrying about them.
Their resume is on...
Kansas
WVU
Iowa
Virginia
BYU
Well lucky for them, they avoided Abilene Christian... 🤣 🤣 🤣
I know we like to give Sheriff shit but I can't believe they actually beat Texas. That was legit the worst team that's ever won a tournament game.
I would say we can’t play worse, but this team has always had another level of suck left in them.
With the amount of times that you have been wrong, as a Gonzaga fan, that makes me feel more confident. So thank you
It’s a damn good excuse though. I’m sorry but it is. What I’m seeing is complete bullshit. I’ve seen those guys play multiple times and they couldn’t shoot for shit. Defensively they’ve been exceptional, but this offensive performance is just pure luck. Tonight EVERYTHING is going in. I expected the poor offensive performance by KU. We struggle with length and USC has a lot of it. But I thought we would at least keep it close defensively. You can’t defend what they’re doing. They’re making Gonzaga look like amateurs, and we played the Zags. Had it tied with a few minutes left. We’re playing better defense that we did against the Zags, but the Zags couldn’t do this well. Sorry, but that is just pure luck. It just is. Same ****ing bullshit as when your ducks played us in the sweet 16 and dude is hitting threes that bounce 10 feet in the air and somehow fall in. He couldn’t repeat that performance if he tried a thousand times. Couldn’t shoot that well in an empty gym. It’s a ****ing curse man. Danny and the Miracles sold their soul for that ‘88 title and ever since we have had shit luck.
Has an entire conference ever caught fire before? Is it possible? Cause we are seeing teams that lose to crap schools like Portland State somehow coming out and playing like the ‘85 Lakers. It’s like they’re feeding off each other’s energy.
It’s really a shame. Cause I wanted to see somebody beat the Zags. But you don’t get two performances like this. They’re wasting it on a night they don’t need it. Could have remained human and beaten KU with their defense and saved this performance for Gonzaga.
Not surprised really. Had some hope. This KU team has looked like a 2nd round team at best all year. USC is a shit matchup for this team so the opponent just sealed the 2nd round loss. Similar to Auburn in 2019. Just an awful matchup for this specific KU team.
Beat more ranked teams than any other team in the country. We aren’t great, but we are good.
USC is in the zone. What can you do in that situation? They’d beat your Ducks running away if y’all played right now. Lucky for you, they can’t play like this twice in a row.
Funny how you want to highlight when I am wrong. Everyone on here is wrong a few times.
My argument is logic based. They haven't played anyone yet
Gonzaga had their worst shooting game of the year...
Also, Reaves played. But you must be talking about 2nd leading scorer De'vion Harmon. He's not their #1 player. Reaves leads OU in damn near every single offensive stat...
PPG 17
Rpg--5.8
APG--4.6
FT%--87%
I don't acknowledge the AP rankings. They've proven to be BS in this tournament. All those "ranked" wins for the BIg 12 hasn't helped them this tournament. Only Baylor looks surviving the first two rounds
They did run you guys out of the gym once though, so you should know what they’re capable of.
USC is a very good team. Like I said earlier, the seeding should be reversed
Harmon is their best player.
Gonzaga can win a NC but they are going to have to play defense.
Especially if Creighton starts shooting well.
Or once they play USC/Oregon
We’ve beat a few teams that are still alive in this tourney. One of only two teams to beat Baylor and we didn’t just beat them, we handled them, it was never a contest. We had Gonzaga tied halfway through the 2nd half and put 90 on them.
We are a very up and down team though. When we are good, we are good. When we are bad, we are really bad. But this game is both us being bad and USC playing beyond themselves.

Lulz at certain Kansas fans. Welcome to the "get routed" club.
Maybe, but I don't think you'd have nearly the same type of performance you did against Iowa. We just are too athletic to give up the runouts and other easy baskets you guys were getting. We also play a lot more guys which would help to negate the top heavy nature of your team. But you did have a really impressive performance, no doubt.
KU played Creighton earlier this year and led pretty much the whole way. Gonzaga will murder them.
this Kansas team has been bad all year. I dont know why it’s a surprise to some (not you). Self doesn’t have the pieces he usually does.

Difference being we had low expectations. Your hopes and dreams were crushed.
Other difference, of course, is that KU has the most tourney wins this century. Iowa hasn’t been past the 2nd round.
Dude you've got to stop pretending like you contended with Gonzaga. Gonzaga got up 14 on you early. You brought it back and then Gonzaga immediately blitzed you again.
Florida State has the athleticism and length to make things difficult on Oregon. It's an entirely different type of game if Oregon and FSU are playing
