They are undeniably the best team in this tournament by a wide margin (the best in NCAA since 2015 UK and Wisconsin) and an offense that is just about impossible to stop effectively. They are basically a far better version of ourselves. Accordingly KenPom isn’t giving us more than a 29 percent shot at this one. It is too bad they don’t reseed at this stage because it may take the upset of a lifetime to bring Nova down.
What kind of bullshit is this...really? Ok so James Bond, aka KC Connection has predicted a KU loss for the last 3 rounds and while he was able to stop and watch the game gave us a few nuggets of wisdom...oh and btw, they're going to lose next time.
This kind of delusion is of KCJohnny proportions...the only difference is KC_James_Bond doesnt admit to being a combat veteran. [Reply]

*best 1 seed in the history of the tournament to not actually be the number one overall seed at start of said tournament

Duke has one of the biggest front lines that we’ve seen in the sport in a long time, and that meant that Svi — who has sent four years being criticized for his lack of toughness and defensive acumen — would be facing off with Marvin Bagley III, a super-human that may or may not be from this planet.
Should I mentioned that Udoka Azubuike, the best big man on the Kansas roster, played just 19 minutes of the overtime contest because of fouls?
Svi more than held his own. He grabbed a team-high 10 boards, a number that is all the more impressive when you consider that Bagley and Wendell Carter combined for 12 total rebounds. He also added five assists, as the Jayhawks were able to navigate the Duke zone better than anyone we’ve seen since the Blue Devils made the adjustment a month ago.
