[ISUTex]

Overall for the game, did Kansas set the NCAA record for shots that rimmed "in and out" ? Holy missed bunnies Batman!

Play 1:45 Sunday:

 

[HoopsTournament]

The average score in the Round of 64 was 76.1. That is the 3rd highest average for a Round of 64 (since 1985). It is the largest since 1989.

 

[BigJCy]

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

It’ll probably stay this way for a while. NIL has made it tough for those schools.

 

[madguy30]

Because we are the 2 seed. You'd like to think as a 2 seed youd still be favored in a 2nd round game.

Are you alright?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Not a terrible surprise with the NIL and transfer portal era in full force.

 

[SerenityNow]

I put the idiot on ignore a long time ago, because of threads just like this.
