It was a rough morning, but not nearly as rough as the Monday after the Super Bowl... granted, I was 12 years younger.
I'd probably go Mason, Chalmers, Rush, Marcus Morris, and Aldrich. Could probably be convinced to replace Rush with TRob or Arthur and play Morris at the 3 though. [Reply]
If you haven’t already, do yourselves a favor and read every one of Bill’s live tweets during the game - they are self depreciating and magical. [Reply]

Dotson was certainly better as a freshman/sophomore than Mason was. I think Mason’s outside shooting took him to a level that Dotson won’t see. [Reply]

He would be if he stayed 4 years, but I'm sure he won't.
I never agreed with people that said Embiid was some top Kansas Jayhawk, though. He was only at KU one year and sure you could see the improvement but he was no where close to a super important player while at KU. He couldn't have been, he was here 1 year and had injuries.
Frank gave his heart and soul for 4 years and was the Natoinal Player of the Year. I have no doubt, however, Dotson would be as good or better should he stay here 4 years (he won't). He's like a 6-1 version of Frank Mason who is a better finisher at the rim and a little worse shooter. [Reply]
I was in the South end zone lower level so I could see the play unfold other end. I had given up with 5min to go so I didn’t see any hope and wasn’t nervous. When We inbounded with 10sec to go, the entire Alamodome crowd rose to its feet (remember, the entire lower sidelines is Corp folks who don’t care who wins - the 4 quadrants are fanbases).
He made the shot and my buddy grabbed my neck. I didn’t see Memphis get the halfcourt shot off. The entire crowd was cheering but one quad was dead. The UNC quad, in baby blue colors behind our bench. They wanted us to lose. May they rot in hell. [Reply]
