How was the crowd?
By intense do you mean vocally or running around?

Smallish crowd. Less than last year's games, but it was only Game 1 *(did not count game vs. York!)*. He gesticulated, crunched his hands, etc. quite a bit (after missing shots, etc.) and defintiely likes to challenge the coaching box line! He didn't hound the refs, but I bet he is a tough nut in practice. Perfectionist. *Edit*

Refs trying to give this to Purdue, Purdue trying to give this to Yale

Kansas and Mich St and there's a billion empty seats.
Izzo subbed out 4 starters in the first couple minutes.

See if it fills in when duke\kentucky play, they probably dominate the seats for this being in Atlanta.

 

[Kinch]

Kansas and MSU are a combined 6-27.

KU is good. once they gel they will be ridiculous.

Would love it if a meteor struck this court.

I always thought Bill Self wore a toupee, but I'm skeptical after that interview.

Surely a hair-system of some sort.

So, who's getting the Villanova job?

 

[Cyclones8824]

Michigan State is hanging a lot closer than I thought they would. Dickinson looks dominant on offense and horrible on defense

Anyone else think that Kansas doesn’t look like the number one team? I mean, they played really good competition in their first 3 games but it just seems something odd about them. Maybe they just haven’t gelled yet.

This is the last year of covid eligibility right?

I dunno.... I am not impressed with their defense at all

They won’t get eligibility for their most important team members until January. Once they get the right people in those positions, they’ll be unstoppable.

 

[CYedUp]

KU has always and still gets away with a lot of fouls.

 

[JP4CY]

This KU team is pretty athletic.

 

[Cyched]

Dajuan Harris is still there?
