[Viper]

If D.J. Burns is only 275 lbs, I'm 6'6.

D for Davante, hey?

[MuggsyB]

D for Davante, hey?

He's easily 310 Viper.  And has a lot of skills and power. 

[BM1090]

Pretty easy to say after the fact.

It was pretty obvious if you've seen them a lot. I had them winning this game but losing in round 2, but you could tell they were in for a battle after about 5 minutes today.

[MuggsyB]

Drake 4-11 from the FT line. 

[Uncle Rico]

Drake 4-11 from the FT line.

FTs no matta

[Carl]

Couldn't ask for a better start but I will anyway....could someone else please volunteer to knock out Houston!? Every time I've watched them this year my thought has been... jeez I hope we don't have to play them. So physical and such great rebounders. Not saying it couldn't be done but I'd just much rather see anyone else.. I know I'm getting ahead of myself.

Gard on line 1

[MuggsyB]

Not a good close to this game from Drake. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Darnell Brodie is a load as well.  They're are three mack trucks in the tournament.

Brodie stinks tho.

He'd get laughed off the court in the BE

[Uncle Rico]

Drake's missed FT's loom large

[MuggsyB]

Brodie stinks tho.

He'd get laughed off the court in the BE

He played pretty well until he fouled out.

Conference of Champions 4-0. 

[MuggsyB]

Let's go Samford!

[Uncle Rico]

This KU-Samford game is incredible.  81-78 with 4:40 left.  Tony Bennett in shambles

[MuggsyB]

Damn. 

[MuggsyB]

All fking ball.  Sweet Jesus. 

[MUBurrow]

All fking ball.  Sweet Jesus.

Absolutely horrid

[MuggsyB]

Inexcusable call.  And a tremendous play by that Samford player. 

[Uncle Rico]

All fking ball.  Sweet Jesus.

Another ref out of position making the call

[Cream Biggums]

Taking away such a hard fought game from Samford, that's so messed up. It didn't look like a foul at all what was that ref watching

[MUeng]

Inexcusable call.  And a tremendous play by that Samford player.

ruined the game. They stop to review every other play but can't with that one? Vegas called it in

[MuggsyB]

Another ref out of position making the call

That was beyond brutal.  Not even close to a foul.  These refs should not be permitted to officiate another game. 

[Cream Biggums]

What a terrible dampener on what was a great day of basketball

[BLWarrior91]

Samford totally robbed.

[MuggsyB]

I feel awful for the Samford team and their fans.   I think they would have won it. 

[Uncle Rico]

That was beyond brutal.  Not even close to a foul.  These refs should not be permitted to officiate another game.

The ref who saw the clean block doesn't blow his whistle, the ref trailing bench side without a view of body contact blows the whistle.

That's college refs in a nutshell.  Either anticipating calls and blowing the whistle early or calling fouls they clearly can't see.

Absolutely brutal.  It's not why Kansas won, but it is still egregious and a problem plaguing the sport.

And monitor reviews.  Good lord, enough
