Dumbass

You had the easiest path, thought you'd make history this year... Turns out I was right and wrong.

When a 9 and 11 make the Elite 8, that is the toughest path. Deepest region of all time

Lies.

PJ Washington goes 8-20 from the FT line. Ballgame right there.

 

[MGO1668]

It happens to Duke and UNC too. Probably Kansas as well.

I imagine.

 

[gocats5611]

Is he blaming the loss on youth and inexperience?

A little.. but was very complimentary of K-State's defense and grit.

 

[npreston]

Probably? It happens man. All the freakin time.

 

[gocats5611]

And it still doesn't work if PJ Washington is better than abysmal at free throws tonight. I don't care about KSU's style. We are the better team with better players and it took our entire team looking at Loyola to get KSU the win, which is exactly what happened.

Can you imagine how it would have turned out if K-State's best player, a First Team All-Big XII player actually saw the court more then a few minutes in the first half? And if the Zebras hadn't given you 60 free throws or whatever it was. But yeah.. okay. UK led for what.. 30 seconds of that game or so?

Sure, I've already answered these questions. KSU did what they had to do. Kentucky didn't. And get that ref talk outta here.

I have Michigan in the F4 in all three of my brackets. After Arizona's massive failure, I was sure Hou was going to continue to spoil my parade.

Also chose UM for some $100 bar-lotto game, should they make the title game I'll be a happy, happy girl.

Have cheered for FSU for a few seasons now.... that ends tonight.

Wasn't Kansas State missing their best player tonight?

If your Kansas brethren in the other thread have any say in it, Michigan will get blown out by 40 in the Elite 8 game because Beilein is a lucky coach that can't teach defense and only wins on 30 ft jump shots every few years.

But let's hope they're wrong amirite?

Does this have anything to do with KSU doing more things right than Kentucky? And what about Vanderbilt? Are we trying to pretend his injury had no impact on Kentucky?

So yes? Seems unfair to make so many excuses and not acknowledge KSU won without their best player.

I honestly am shocked. I figured you guys would murder us on the glass and get tons of 2nd chance points.

Coach Cal is a class act though.. giving credit.

Nah. He has the easiest path to the title game of all time.

I've already said that, more than once too. I'm not sure what your problem is with what I've been saying.

That's what I thought too. As the saying goes, that's why they play the game.

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Why do you troll Michigan so hard? I don't get it. What beef does Kansas and Michigan even have for you to care?

 

[hailtoyourvictor]

Just making sure. Seemed like a lot of excuses.

I had Michigan coming out of that region anyway without the upsets. They're peaking at the right time.

Just making sure. Seemed like a lot of excuses.

UK lost it, KSU won it. The two statements are really identical anyway. No excuses from me, they did more things right.

If your brethren in the other thread have any say in it, the b1g would be considered the best basketball conference because other (better) conferences were just lucky all those other games/seasons/decades..

Beilein is a great coach.
The B1G, collectively, sucks as a basketball conference.

The world is full of Wrongs..
I'm just trying to capitalize.

 

[doogie503]

Would love WVU in the ACC. Much rather have you than VT or Louisville. Just don’t see it happening.

Probably right.

SEC probably more likely if we moved again.

But our AD was the former ass. Commissioner of the acc. And our former ad and assistant Ad's are at Clemson and vt now. And Oliver luck call the shots for the ncaa.

Ya never know.

And WVU also beat us twice.

by 38 points once

Big congrats on the win last night.

True. Send VT to the SEC and WVU to the ACC and I'm fine with it.

 

[Bert Higginbotha]

FSU is the first ACC team to secure their ticket to the Elite Eight. Who woulda thunk.

Hamilton has them playing. Congrats to Florida State.

12 teams left and none are from the powerful SEC

 

[npreston]

Kansas fans feeling a little more pressure to win tonight, after little brother beat up UK.

I’m getting a beer from the fridge. Anyone need anything?

Convinced KU is best team left in field after seeing performance of the Big XII in this tournament and teams they beat up on during the season in general.

Very similar to the B1G in football.

Then go post on the football forum

So what’s this story about Kentucky guys not shaking hands? I googled it and some articles lead with that headline but then later show a tweet that does show players in the line shaking hands. What’s up with that? Fake news?

 

[bignish]

In fairness VA, KSU was w/o their best player. And their 2nd best fouled out. I mean yeah IF PJ hits his freebies, UK probably wins. But what IF Dean is 100% healthy? He would've been a handful to defend.

Borden, you can’t blame UK here, they were just caught up looking ahead to playing Loyola.

I woke to that story, too.
However, it looks like State players were celebrating while coaches were shaking hands..
so most players missed out.. got some feels hurt.

 

[lurkeraspect84]

Congrats to KSU fans. Your guys played great defense and took UK out of any rhythm. Great win. Good luck in the Elite Eight.
