I just assume KU, Arizona, and UNC are all going to win. You all should do the same. It makes watching their games much less annoying IMO. If one of them loses (and I only really care if UNC loses) great. Not expecting it.

Have watched very little of the KU game. But in what I have saw Mason with his patented throw the arm out and fall down to get a bogus foul call. Then hook a guy and get the foul called on the other guy. Good lord if Fox got his whistle he'd never be stopped.

KU will win by 15+

Still think they win the title easily. They are destroying teams right now.

Don't think UK, UNC, or UCLA can beat them.

Normally I hate the announcer dude that goes "you don't need a 3 here" but honestly in that WVU game there was 30 seconds.......aside from not getting the shot off in the end, the massive dribbling around for 10 seconds when you could have driven the ball is just mind blowing to me.

Carter wanted to be the hero. He turned out to be the GOAT by making stupid decision after stupid decision that last possession

Looked like Purdue was going to give Kansas a game. But now it looks like Kansas will run away with this one.

Purdue is going to get smoked in the 2nd half.

Thanks to the 30 minute delay in the Gonzaga game we will need to stay up til 1am to watch the Zona/X game.
I would really like to know what they could posdibly have been ng at for that long.

Nobody else wanted it. Carter is their guy, they look for him to take the reigns when the chips are down.

BIG10 did really well to get to this point, but it's probably over, Purdue is in big trouble in the second half and Wisconsin is going to get run tomorrow night too.

They did lose TCU like two weeks ago. Even without Jackson that's a bad loss. I agree I think they are the favorites but no ones winning the title easily. KU will have a war in the FF with whoever survives the South.

What the hell was with that last play. KU knocks the ball away from Purdue and the referee blocks the ball from going out of bounds. So KU ends up with the ball and an easy lay up. Way to get help from the refs.

Unfortunately I agree. They started looking gassed and the refs are letting the Kansas bigs get away with bush league ball in the post on defense.

Mostly though it's just because Kansas has more speed and talent.

Regardless how KU has looked they aren't immune.

There's not a huge difference between a ton of these teams. Theres a reason we are getting close games for the most part here on out

The other 4 wva players on the court were trying to hide, they wanted no part of the moment. They stood there.

Giving a team wide open 3s like Purdue has done? Why wouldn't KU look like world beaters. Haas in a pick and roll situation, trying to switch to Mason=failure.

TCU is still playing and are in New York. Although not the real tourney, but they aren't terrible.

Touché. Although the gist of my post still stands. You can't say KU is destroying teams right now and will win the title easily when they just lost to an NIT team.

Purdues guards are garbage. Difference here.
Their player of the year candidate PF has 1 fg, and it was a 3. KU plays 4 guards and a average center. Swanigan hasn't scored in the paint, and KU is dominating the boards. If Purdue isn't winning in the paint, they have no chance.

Right, right. Sometimes the guards need to help out when adjustments need made which I expect Purdue to do this 2nd half for Swanigan to get more touches.

Maybe not the best played but one of the most competitive tourneys.

Well. Looks like we're gonna have to just win it all otherwise it's going to be KU, UNC or UCLA. Either would suck. Not as bad as Duke or UofL but would still suck.
UCLA would be worse case IMO, with unc** a close second
