This Kanate dude on wvu has like 4 of the sweetest blocked shots I’ve seen. 

That one brought the place down 

Ali just got screwed on that 5th foul. Awful

Settled for a challenge 3 so many times

Tough loss by WVU....huge win by Kansas

Sweet.

I was laughing a couple weeks ago when Kansas lost to Texas Tech (I think) and ESPN immediately went to the "their domination of the Big 12 might be over" card. I was like, "Jebus, shut the fuck up you 'tards. They always seem to lose a game or two early on and look vulnerable and then win 13 straight and, boom, there's another league title."

Lol yeah, that’s a classic espn hot take. 

That being said, this team isn’t that good over an entire regular season. They’re going to lose some games. They can beat anyone but can also lose to anyone. Without billy Preston, I’m not sure how they’re going to string 6 consecutive wins in March. This is not a Kansas team that I’d bet on. 

Carolina takes on Clemson tonight, trying for 59-0 at home vs the Tigers. For the first time that I can remember I am actually nervous about this game.

For reasons I’m not sure but each of the last 4 years I have went with Kansas on my tournament brackets. Not looking that way this season but a lot left still.

Was it in recent years Clemson had them but blew it? Probably just misremembering

It’s been awhile since a game was really close...double OT in 2008. 

But there have been some tight ones throughout, which usually lead to a 10-12+ point win. 

The streak lives on. 59-0!

Pretty crazy.

Wish they would’ve beaten them in football

UC won 49-38 at Central Florida...held them to 30%

KSU taking it to Oklahoma a bit

I called before the game that it’d be an upset. K State is pretty good, and Oklahoma has had some close calls lately. Smelled like a loss to me.

Was it defense that they shot 30% on FT also?

UK choked one away

Billy Preston signed with a euro team. That sucks. Saw a tweet that this is the 5th straight year kansas’ too recruit won’t be playing in the NCAA tourney. Seems fake, but it’s true. Somehow. 

I know this is really random but I volunteered to work an 8th grade basketball game for the local school and during warm ups the other team had this kid that was 6’2-3-4 somewhere in that range. Holy shit this kid was insane. He dunked about 8 times some reverse, some off the backboard and the kid was just all around good. So I looked him up here he is the 5th ranked kid in the country for his class in 2022. His name is Jarace walker. I definitely wasn’t expected to have that much excitement at an 8th grade basketball game lol

Dover Pa. the kid goes to susquehannock 

Christ Bill Self...leaves 30% free throw shooter Azubuike in the game in the final 2 minutes and he goes 1/7 from free throws with the lead. Now down 5 and this one is done. Take him out of the game you dumb shit.

I’m pretty sure you can’t intentionally foul, right? Which makes his decision slightly ok. But then he was RUNNING POST PLAYS for him...which makes no sense.
