Do we want UVA or Tennessee? Neither worry me and as I said, I was very worried about Kentucky given their athleticism but we clearly had no issues. Gut kinda tells Tennessee because I think UVA is probably more disciplined plays harder similar to us

Once again, Tamin dgaf.

Meh….I think people have been suggesting that all year and yet here they are. That Sandfort is better than his brother, he’s had a hell of year. And Fred finally figured out you have to play defense in big time basketball. They played excellent defense this year. They were actually easy to route for and I’ve never been a Nebbie fan.

Root! Don’t need a edjukashun to be a Hawkeye.

If the guys play even close to what they did this weekend, they'll beat either of those two teams like a cheap drum. We want Michigan! (though if Taco Tech wants to beat them, I'm OK with that....)

 

[Yellow Snow]

I would rather play Tenn.

 

[JP4CY]

That looks that Self just had. Woof.

 

[Kinch]

If KU loses, they will miss the Sweet Sixteen for the 4th consecutive season. That has not happened to them since the tournament expanded in 1985.

So when is the last time we have have had four consecutive years without either Kansas or Kentucky in the Elite 8?

If Peterson is your savior, then you are screwed.

I am not an NBA scout but I have no idea why Peterson is potential #1 overall pick. He should be able to create own shots if he is a potential #1 overall pick in this year’s NBA draft.

Tenn is one of the worst 3FG teams in the country. I’m not worried about either team though

 

[Clonefan94]

How did we lose to Kansas, even if it was at their place? My god this team is ass.

sweet 16 yet again.

I'm feeling better about what happened Friday night...

They played lights out that day, all around. I'd wonder if they played another game of that quality in the rest of the season after.

She looked better after you saw her again?

The only time it happened was 1979 to 1982

Kansas was pretty inconsistent, and played the best game of their season against us.

 

[RonBurgundy]

St. John’s is a final four team.

Are you watching this game? It may look like good D, but both teams suck shooting. 31% for StJohns. Just hit some lucky 3’s.

They are playing street basketball. No offensive structure whatsoever

 

[NYCYFan]

Kansas, like Gonzaga, has been one of the more overrated teams this season and St. John's underrated.

 

[BCClone]

Kansas looks like my kids’ teams I watched when they were in junior high. A lot of bad shooting and dumb mistakes.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Self going to start feeling some heat soon? Feels like KU hasn't been a threat the last few years. Talented team that hangs around the top 25 but never feels like they're a post season threat
