Someone earlier said they prefer a mid major over a P6. I much prefer not going against a team with one potential game changer whether it’s mid major or P6. Devries can go Jimmer Fredette once in awhile. I don’t see anyone on WSU that can do that.
Agree mostly, DeVries or Wright could go off. Isaac Jones for WSU was really good. But he was only good when the double didn’t come and he could take his time.

KU is just not that good with their injury and depth problems. It's been obvious for months but nobody seems to want to believe it.
Maybe down the road this would be true, but even with McCullers out, Self still has better talent than Samford.

I assumed Devries would hold out for the iowa job when they get tired of the not invited tournament

I've been assured that if Fran ever gets fired Lick and Lil Lick instantly come back and they become the worst program in the nation. It's the only two choices they have.

We need to make sure our fouls count. Need to body him up, but can't waste fouls on silly plays with the three big guys.

Maybe create some chaos on perimeter, it didn't seem like WSU was particularly good finding him.

Definitely, and it looks like they are going to win, but they are just not that good. What can you point to that they are? They are only a 4 seed because of wins they got when they were a different team. They did not perform well at all in the last half of the Big XII.

Both we and Houston struggled for the next few games after our second showdown. I think each team took a lot out of the other one. Hilariously, Houston found themselves in time for Kansas.
My thoughts exactly. The Games after that matchup obviously mattered, but that game effectively decided the regular season conference champs.
