At this point, at least for the rest of this tourney, Malik Newman is Superman. His confidence is at an all-time high and the dude just has that look - you can tell when a moment isn't too big for a player, and Malik is basically bizarro Wiggins.

Hey Hootie, you can rent my account. $10 a day.

How did the early game (Loyola & K-State) compare to the Blue Blood match up of KU vs Duke?

The fact none of you could point that out makes me sad for this board.

Love seeing Newman have this performance as well. Getting all these guys in sync before the tourney should be the goal, of course.

But, they could always sweep the tourney and then drop Game 1 to Northwestern Santa Fe State. This team is one of the hardest to predict in Self's catalog.

He should make it a double bird by getting deep in the NCAA.

Newman has been just nails. Him performing at this caliber changes our entire trajectory. Add in Silvio playing like he is and this team could prove everyone wrong.

Or they could lay an egg on the first weekend - I�ve given up hypothesizing about this team.

holy shit - ESPN has Devonte Graham as the 30th best draft prospect and Trevon Duval is 48.

Your take would have been better if you didn't ruin it at the end by KCC'ing it with a "but that may lose in the 1st round!"

Uh, I would have picked Duke to beat KU with a gun to my head.

No doubt.

The homer in me always picks KU to win on my brackets.

I am calling you morons for not properly putting KCC in his place for his ridiculous Kenpom blatherings where he didn't bother to ever contextualize anything.

In fact,

In Vegas, I went about 2-29 on sports betting - so I'd be the last person to listen to in terms of predicting winners and losers. (Over March Madness).

My 1st parlay of KU, Kentucky and Arizona for $1500 was a gut punch. Fuck Sean Miller.

You may equate intelligence with getting in ****fights on here - but I try to avoid doing that. I tried to offer insight as to why KU may be seriously underrated heading into the tourney - and was fine leaving it at that.

It�s not worth the energy for me to go beyond that.

You were spot on! I wish you wouldn't left the last part out about South Dakota A&T and I'd have given you mad props, brah.

Have you met cooper yet? You & he would get along really well.

Fair enough, I should have put 100% faith in Newman. The dude has changed this team since the start of the B12 tourney.

Aaaand... there goes the forum, again.
