And in Ames Shoon got the ball knocked away from him, and the ball bounced to Gabe for a made three, just for example.

Wilson was SHARP tonight and probably lights anyone up.

Probably. But there have been a LOT of games where players have just gone off against us and we all say that they can't miss and they are having the game of their lives. It isn't always that.

But, the bigger point here is that IT was a good effort and a pretty solid game. And nothing to worry about.

I’m chalking this up to Trey Lance jinx, unless he was there yesterday, then I’ve got nothing. Or addition by substraction, Toupee Bill is sidelined

We’re a 5 seed and there’s little doubt about it. So it’s Drake, Charleston, Oral Roberts or unknown.
Which really sucks. Got a bad feeling. I think the committee undervalues mid majors anymore. Much rather face some crappy high major bubble team.

It’ll be extremely interesting to see what transfers we get (early connected info indicates TJ has one or two REAL NICE HANDLERS) and what kind of impact a couple freshmen can have on this offense.

Consistent offense has been a problem this year. The defense will continue; the offense needs to be top 25 for this program to take another step.

Madguy is all knowing. Be careful! It’s tough conversating with somebody that knows all of the things!

I mean I know enough to not call an ISU player a piece of **** like you did last season.

Do you understand the difference?

Which is a more reasonable take?

'ISU can't get shots to fall tonight and KU is playing really well'.

'That ISU player is a POS'.

I don't know. It wasn't great when we faced an 11 seed Ohio State. I sort of maybe want a team that hasn't seen the level of competition we've had.

I'm chalking it up to Kirk Haaland tweeting that we either lose in the first round of the tournament or win the whole damn thing. WE WERE ALL THINKING THAT, BUT MOST OF US WERE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO SAY IT. ;)

All in all, in the tournament, you just face whatever the draw gives you. High major teams are going to physically match up with us. Mid-majors won't, but probably play more cohesive ball. Just have to have a next up mentality, and play our game.

From Captain Obvious: Gonna need Kunc. Felt bad for him tonight. He’ll be back. Also,for this team to be in this position is testament to hard work. Going into the season,did not know if this talent would hold up and through effort they deserve to be in the tourney.

That Ohio State team sucked. Prohm was our coach and embarrassed himself in that one. This team wouldn’t lose to a team like that.

Yeah. We don't want an Oklahoma State or West Virginia type team. We want Baylor. In fact, sign me up for Baylor ;)
