    Why WVU didn't go for a quick 2 and foul is mind boggling? Extend the game. There was still 37 seconds left when that possession started.
    Alright, alright, alright!

  • The amount of games ending with guys shooting threes is unnecessary and annoying. Drive the ball in and dont worry about making a historic shot.

    With 25 seconds to go, stop dribbling around and taking the three, makes no sense.

    Yeah I guess these kids are too young to remember Tyus Edney.
    I'm through with screaming

    Definitely too young to remember that. That occurred the year that most of this year's seniors were born.

    In the Purdue game, at the end of the 1st half, the ball was heading out of bounds but hit the butt of the ref and Kansas took it down the court for a dunk. Shouldn't it be a stoppage of play if the ball hits the ref's butt???

    I feel like this could lead to a lot of home court cooking if the ref can just deflect a ball and there is no stoppage.

    The officiating has been pretty bad throughout the entire tournament.
    I just talked with someone who coaches BB and if the ref is in play the ball is still live if it bounces off the ref. He said it happens more in middle school games.

    Still have to give Kansas credit for going NBA Jam "On Fire" in the 2nd half.
    It was nuts how Kansas went to a whole nother level in the second half. It made Purdue losing easier to take, even playing their best they wouldn't have been able to beat them. I guess that what a team looks like with 3 five star and 3 four star players.
    Purdue had me nervous in the first half. Both teams were killing it from 3. KU really stepped up big in the second half & I hope they show up with the same intensity tomorrow! Rock Chalk!

    I was saying, as he was dribbling:"Take it to the basket & get the quick 2"

    Like you said, with 37 seconds left that was mind boggling what WVU did.

    Also agree about wasting timeouts. I don't get it.

    Well, 2 blowouts in the first 2 games.

    Watching the UCLA/UK game and though Ball is a baller I have had my eye on Fox the whole tourney and that kid has game.

    Build your team around him. Wow.
  • tempo_n_groovetempo_n_groove Posts: 38,853
    Oh and Ball's body language has been horrible since the end of the first half. Not going to end well tonight for UCLA.

    waited to post anything. Still in shock, absolutely gutted. Just can't believe it.


    Happy thoughts Ethan, you've been through losses like this before. You'll get though it, happy thoughts...

    Yeah, it's always cool to connect. I post on a Gamecock site and there's a huge Pearl Jam fan there. It's been fun trading concert stories with him.

    I'm a little surprised @intodeep hasn't posted here. I know he's a fellow USC alum. Last I saw from him was before the Columbia show last year.

    We were going to head out to cheer on the Jayhawks, but decided against it considering where we live. LOL!

    So, we're watching at home! Rock Chalk!

    Nope! Haha. I tried finding a "KU bar"...no luck.

    Went to the store earlier to grab some beer wearing a KU shirt & got a ton of nasty looks. LOL. That was that! Ha!

    The Ducks are legit.

    I heard that they might go deep and they are proving that they can!

    Kansas did have MULTIPLE opportunities missed though. Shots weren't falling.
