At the game. I don't even know what to say except I love this team so damn much. We were about ready to kill the refs a few times.
Love TJ so damn much. He beared down when we needed him most. Still can't believe we won. Everyone was high fiveing each other. Amazing game.

I don't think this was an ugly game at all. The only ugly thing were the refs. I thought the game was very competitive and fun to watch.Bosy Billups wrote:Good teams know how to win ugly.

Re: Game 8, vs Gonzaga
Gonzaga would annihilate Kansas.
Re: Game 8, vs Gonzaga
Another poster, not me, on the Kansas board saw the same thing I did. Gonzaga should have had a shot to put this game away in regulation. And I quote:Longhorned wrote:Gonzaga would annihilate Kansas.
"for those interested, for pickup and what not, if a ball is thrown to you, you hit it down with one hand, it hits the ground, comes back up, you catch it, that's not a dribble, you can dribble again, unless of course the ref doesn't know the rule, which is what happened last 30 seconds of the arizona game.
Oh, and in the last 5 seconds of regulation, an arizona player went over the back so bad on a gonzaga player on a attempted tip that it was very, very obvious. moved the guy in front of him more than a foot, so through the back not over the back. "
"Arizona got uppercutted out of the 2018 tournament by No. 13 Buffalo, which delivered one of the most overwhelming, lopsided upsets by a double-digit seed in tournament history (89-68). "

Watch the replay. That's not what happened. Clear double dribble.

If the Cats lose to anyone by 32 points I will wear a Kansas T shirt every day for a year.

Re: Game 8, vs Gonzaga
Re-watching the game and Dakich is fucking terrible. Everything is a negative. It's not good defense, it's the worst offense in history. Fuck him. Must have been pissed that his kid's team shit down their own legs against DeVry.The Goat wrote:Dakich is such an ignorant cunt.
Of the 12 coaches, Rush picked the one whose fans have the deepest passion, the longest memories, the greatest lung capacity and … did I mention deep passion?

There is one simple word for former coaches who are commentators or "analysts":
Failures.
Hey Dan, the reason why your analysis of the game or your insights are garbage is the same reason why you can't get a coaching job. You suck at knowing the game of basketball.
I fly like a hawk, or better yet an eagle--a seagull. I sniff suckers out like a beagle...My ego is off and running and gone, Cause I'm about the best and if you diss than that's wrong
Re: Game 8, vs Gonzaga
Dan Dakich must be picking up where Jimmy Dykes left off. Someone has to for ESPN, right?
Has anybody ever heard any top-three basketball team in America ever get this much shit for continuing to win?
I get paid to look at sports objectively, and I've never seen a basketball team win in spite of more consistent, systemic adversity than Arizona.
If the Cats played in any conference east of the Rockies, they'd be getting half of UK's first-place votes.
Between the continually suspect officiating, even at home, and the national anti-Arizona narrative failing to respect solid fundamental basketball, though, it is a weekly uphill battle against forces of political BS outside of anyone's control.

I don't get it either. The disrespect from the tv announcers this year is crazy. Only remedy is to just win baby!catgrad97 wrote:Dan Dakich must be picking up where Jimmy Dykes left off. Someone has to for ESPN, right?

Game reaired before tonight's game. First time I watched since attending the game. 2014-2015 was our year.
