B…but…they’re 19-1 when fully healthy!!!!

ESPN should be embarassed with how much they hyped this team. And a fair amount of posters here went along with it.

I’ve watched a fair amount of Duke this year.  They were a far better team entering March than they were in November.  The defense and offense got better each month.

Tennessee was the more physical team and Duke couldn’t handle their intensity.

ACC and Big Ten have been really bad all year. Tournament obviously no exception.

No doubt they were peaking at the right time. But they were never an elite tier team, even with the whole group healthy.

The scoop jokes a lot about “media bias” in college hoops, but the ESPN slant toward Duke is very real and very tiresome.

Meh.  Tourney champ that got a 5 seed.  Apparently, they weren't the problem I thought they would be.  Cool.

Purdue was a far better matchup for MU than Duke, who might be playing the best basketball in the country.

It's just a fact.

I know they want to maximize night viewing for advertisers but as a fan, there’s too much dead air like now

Have you ever considered saying and doing the exact opposite of your instincts? Seems like an approach you could benefit from.

Agreed.  Also if you have a crapttttty game like Furman/SDSU there's no auxiliary option.

Scheyer just found out that coaching is more than just rolling out a lineup of 5-stars.  As the Duke aura wears off, he will be more and more exposed as a Wojo level coach.

Considering their game will be done before we tip off, who do people want in K-State/Kentucky?

I want K-State. I think Stevie and O-Max are ideal to guard Nowell and Johnson. I also don't think they have anyone who can impose their physical will on Oso like Tshiebwe might. They also aren't great at 2PFG% defense, which is our bread and butter. Finally, it gives Shaka the chance at a H2H win over fellow NCOY candidate Tang. Give me the Purple Kittens.
My bank account wants Kansas State. With Duke and Kentucky out it will be much more economical feasible to get tickets for MSG. From past experience both Duke and Kentucky travel enormously well.

Doubt the same numbers from Tennessee and Kansas State would show up. Not to say they won’t show up just doubt there are a ton of Walmart Volunteer and KState fans.

He did a really good job coaching them this year, actually.  Much better team at the end of the year than they were earlier. 

And he’s still bringing in studs.  Nike money matters

Kansas off to fast start.  Playing very SELF-lessly.



C'mon, somebody had to say it.

I think it was more a matter of players getting healthy.  And with NIL, it won’t be as easy to buy players like they used to.
