It was either gonna end here or against Gonzaga at best. Pretty sure nobody is beating that team this year. [Reply]
This is the 4th straight year that KU has gotten run out of the damn building in their season-ending loss. USC. Auburn. Villanova. Oregon. Especially in the first half.
Oregon was the frustrating one of those 4 (partly because I went back to KC for it).... but, it was close for most of the first half IIRC, and then they got it back to 10 or so and seemed like they had a chance.
Not that it matters, but at least in my head it doesn't fit with the other three re: "run out the damn building". [Reply]

I remember that Oregon game well.
I think we got it down to 6 and Oregon missed a shot. Jackson and I think Mason ran into each other going for the rebound with no Oregon players around. The ball then bounced to an open Duck for a 3. Back up to 9 instead of a chance to cut it to 3 or 4. Game over. [Reply]

I also agree with the assessment that they were not run out of the building in that game [Reply]
Let’s hope Garrett returns next year but whether he does or doesn’t, this team can’t afford to start Braun any longer. He’s simply not that good a player in any respect. He should be playing the Tyrell Reed role. [Reply]
