He had 2 good games in the Sweet 16 run and the whole world instantly thought he was thr second coming of Monte without considering the entire body of work
I feel like for about 10-15 years they've had 3-4 good but often overrated teams then a big dropoff to a soft middle (iowa's zone) and horrible bottom. And then on top of that Purdue usually flames out in tournament the years they get an elite seed.
I know they are historically worst program in basketball history, but surprised Fred hasn't been able to turn corner with Neb given many wins are are their schedules.
He had a lot of great games for us in terms of hustle and defense...but the great games where he shot the lights out really were misleading due to the stage they were on.
Yeah, I really don't enjoy KU losing or winning that much.
The ex-Big 12 teams are just slightly less obnoxious than KU in my mind.
I do think KU is not the dominant favorite for Big 12 most thought they'd be. I could see it being a year where 3-4 teams are in the mix.
So the Braun playing for Kansas now is actually the OLDER brother of the Braun who had in incredible NBA Finals for the Nuggets last year? That's surprising when I heard "older".
Kentucky's model where they just play all new 5*s every year was always kind of feast or famine depending on that year's crop.
Can't stop anybody and seem to turn the ball over at the worst times.
Couple that with a stupid difficult schedule and you end up 3-7.
The program just flat lost itself.
I think it's what has kept the SEC as a good but not great conference (Pac too).
I really don't know why the Big East has been so much better than the Big Ten though for a couple decades now. They overlap a lot geographically and most Big Ten teams do have bb fans.
Last year they averaged 6,661 fans, ranking just above the likes of Charleston Southern, so you weren't too far off.
