When he puts the ball on the ground, he isn't the turnover machine that he used to be, but I still cringe. I prefer him to catch, turn, and shoot without dribbling.

Oh what am I saying. I prefer him to catch and dunk with both feet in the air. Much harder to get called for traveling that way.

Maybe Agbaji will be this year’s version of 2012 Elijah Johnson.

EJ was up and down all year, but finished really strong through the Big 12 Tourney and NCAA Tourney.

He averaged just over 15 points over the last 8 games that year. If Ochai can do something similar, he can win it all.

Nobody is this stupid.

They've struggled the last month to beat some bad teams. They've only won so many games because they are in a weak conference.

That’s putting in mans work.

I just wish Doke learned to block shots softly (like Withey) instead of rocketing them out of bounds and giving possession right back.

I would have never thought Dok could stay out of foul trouble long enough to put up numbers like that. Never mind the conditioning.

He be the man.

So I rewatched the KU vs UNC Final Four game from 2008 today. I hadn’t seen it in awhile, so it was fun to watch a beat down laid on UNC by the best KU team ever.

A few things stood out to me:
-Aldrich was super active
-Our guards made theirs look like they were running in quicksand
-Hansbrough was easily frustrated and stifled by 4 bigs that were all bigger and much more athletic than him
-And speaking of which, holy shit. Hansbrough got the ultimate star treatment from the refs in that one. UNC could’ve been down 40 in the first half had Hansbrough not gotten several calls to go his way.
-I forgot just how smooth Rush was at everything. The game looked so easy for him that it almost looked like he wasn’t trying.

In the NBA it's a given to foul in that spot, but I think you can easily justify not fouling at the college level. These kids aren't good enough at creating a good 3PT shot with such little time (unless you are Mario Chalmers).

He's basically elevated his defense to peak Withey level now other than doing that. He likes to make them dramatic.

EJ had a lot more raw offensive talent. Agbaji is very stilted when he tries to make offensive moves generally. As long as he guards and hits his open shots while creating spacing for Dotson/Garrett drives and Udoka posts/PnRs, I'm fine with what he's doing though.

Dominating Hansbrough in that game was maybe the most satisfying time I've ever had watching KU basketball.

I talked some shit on on Self and the state of you guys' program, post the unspeakable outrage a few weeks ago. Self corrected your team, I shouldn't be surprised. He is a good coach when it's all said and done. Yes, he has some real nba talent on the roster front to back where Duke has only Vernon Carey and maybe Cassius Stanley, but self is the reason you guys will win it all this year. K.U. deserves it because you guys are sticking together through some bullshit and buying into the message. I still feel like Duke prepares their players better for whatever comes after Division 1 BB, be it the nba, coaching or pro basketball outside of the U.S. That said, when you guys got a real team and buy in it's way more dominant. The programs have the same ultimate goal, but they go about their business differently. Good luck next month and I'm definitely rooting for you guys unless you face Duke. In which case not even god will be able to help you.
