I’m with you. As I said, I totally remember that one game. 6-6 13 pt. Just looked up box score: in 20 min. With 6 boards!
He is an unsung hero of 08 for sure.
****this is the 13th anniversary of Mario’s Miracle [Reply]
Sasha Kaun played professionally for nearly a decade making millions in a high level league before ending his career winning a NBA championship to add to his NCAA championship. Not a bad career. [Reply]

And that was pretty much my point. He was the 3rd or 4th best big man on the ‘08 team. How many teams pull a guy like that off the bench?
I think he’s fairly comparable to Daniel Ochefu, who started at C for the 2016 Villanova team that won it all.

Also what’s LeBron’s Finals record without a Jayhawk on the roster? Can’t be a coincidence. [Reply]

Don't mind that knucklehead. He has always had an unhealthy hatred, bordering on obsession, with Sasha Kaun. I think he knows, though he'll never admit it, that Kaun was a big reason KU was able to get by Davidson and advance to the Final Four. [Reply]

I'm sure he does it like a professional. Tells them they have no chance to contribute anything meaningful to this level of a program and that it would be in their best interest to transfer. But yeah, this year has been crazy. I didn't realize Gethro had transferred. Or Tyon Grant Foster. This team should definitely be better next year. [Reply]

Dude Hoch was awesome for that short stretch as a fireman. Dude absolutely shut down some shit situations with tremendous leverage.
That bullpen isn’t that bullpen without Hoch. And that bullpen set the trend for winning baseball.
I hadn’t thought about him in awhile. Thanks for that.

It was because he wasn’t very good.

It’s clear that Jayhawks have carried LeBron to 4 rings.
