***Official 2025 NCAA Tournament Thread***

[CydeofFries]

The other thing Drake does great that isn't discussed is rebound.

 

[helechopper]

Goddamn!7 KU. You had one job.

 

[madguy30]

Hunter Dickinson was a massive waste of money.

Always good to see KU go down but in defense of Bill Self, if it's true he didn't get to pick the team, that should be the first thing he looks into changing.

 

[keepngoal]

Self to EUI?

 

[rosshm16]

Drake looks great.

 

[JEFF420]

isn't this how drake usually does the NCAA? outplays for 35 min and loses?

 

[JP4CY]

That bounce pass to Stirtz was gorgeous.

 

[Mads4st8]

Gates looks absolutely lost

So does his team. Nothing they do looks like a post-season team. Just awful on several fronts.

As for Drake, they literally have an entire roster of kids from the state of Missouri…playing against Missouri…in the NCAA tournament. Who didn’t see this coming?

 

[keepngoal]

Drake looks great.

For sure, i have them in the S16.

 

[cal-cyclone]

Drake just playing smart, unselfish, great basketball. Great def. Easy to root for these guys.

 

[ca4cy]

Kansas just smashed a bunch of brackets. Not sure why they were so heavily picked to make a run.

I didn't pick it, but I couldve been talked into them beating Arkansas. Anybody that picked them to win more than 1 game deserves what they get.

 

[swiacy]

McCollum is too good for Iowa

 

[inCyteful]

The other thing Drake does great that isn't discussed is rebound.

Despite giving up inches at every position.

They just do the basic things so well.

 

[rosshm16]

Is Dennis Gates considered a good coach?

 

[cyclones500]

Kansas is eliminated before the Sweet 16 for the 5th time in 6 tournaments.

What's especially wild is the outlier is a tournament title.

 

[cyfanatic]

Always good to see KU go down but in defense of Bill Self, if it's true he didn't get to pick the team, that should be the first thing he looks into changing.

I like Self...but even if I didn't...AGREE!

 

[NWICY]

Does Self make the decisions on roster construction at KU? I assume that's a head coach decision.

I'm guessing he is going to gain control of that again. I wonder if the boosters picked to many players the last couple of yrs.

 

[cydsho]

Hunter Dickinson was a massive waste of money.

Complete debacle that he got ANY post season awards. His picture should be next to the word Fraud in the dictionary.

 

[rosshm16]

What's especially wild since the outlier is a tournament title.

That title is what their butthurt fans always trot out when it's pointed out that KU became just another top 35 team once everyone started paying their players.

 

[Drew0311]

I've been thinking that all night. I bet TJ would salivate at the thought of adding him to the roster. I'm afraid his price is rising too high for us, though.

Yeah he is either gonna take a deal with McCollum next stop or be playing for a Kansas type team next season
