So much fear and panic!
Oh, I can't wait to see the pre-worry for Auburn if they somehow win.
Well, and Clemson scored 36 points against Virginia a couple months ago, so there's that.
Really though, I'm just glad we have several more days to worry, before resigning ourselves to worrying about next season... and an extra day since Omaha is Friday/Sunday. Yay! [Reply]

Bucknell did something pretty similar against Michigan State. They scored like 18 in the last two minutes. [Reply]

Seaton Hall deserves a lot of credit. They played pretty tough. There were some stretches of bad ball but we had to really play to pull it out. [Reply]
Got absolutely destroyed on the offensive boards by Delgado as expected but got through a very good Seton Hall team thanks to Malik Newman stepping up at the right time.
It gets no easier against Auburn or Clemson. Both are far better than Seton Hall and each boast their own major strengths that could end this team's season in its tracks. Auburn shoots a ton of threes and gets out on the fast break, which increases the variance of the result and makes them far harder for this team to guard. Clemson plays at a snail's pace and has an elite defence which could make it quite difficult to come from behind if KU has one of its notorious bad starts. Take your pick but either way this team is facing its toughest matchup yet in this onslaught of a tournament. [Reply]

Lets recap...
We had our best player and leader of the team shooting like shit. No contribution with his offense. Same one who carried this team on hs back in the previous game.
Our only solid big man was not even close to 100%, couldn't play his full game.
Hall was full of determined seniors playing their last game of college ball ever. They wern't going out without a fight.
Delgado is a for real, top shelf, best in the game monster on the boards.
Most agree that this is the least talented team Self has had in a long time. Yet, we extended the streak to 14 and made it to the sweet 16.
Yes, we could lose to Auburn. If we get by them, I think we lose to Duke. But, It's like you think every team is going to beat KU. They will be lucky to win. I dont get the pessimism, the constant negative posts. Whats up? [Reply]

I for one want KCC to continue sharing with us the reasons KU may go down. Even if we somehow get lucky and miraculously survive our next matchup, I’d want the full report on how we could lose report on the next matchup too. [Reply]
I just hope if KU gets bounced, KCC isn't holed up in a cabin celebrating his birthday for two weeks with no internet access like when the Royals trashed the Blue Jays a few years back. [Reply]
