Weird that this same team went 19-20 against Creighton. [Reply]

Even being down 6 at halftime or whatever it was, free throws were the one thing grinding my gears. Miami did get some easy buckets, too, but didn't think KU looked awful or anything (maybe after the Providence game, nothing was going to look awful).... but hit your freakin free throws in the first half and it's tied.

Yes, but I think I read something recently where the numbers demonstrated that KU's defense had really started picking up down the stretch of the season. Great time of year to step up and play good defense. :-) [Reply]
Pretty sure KU was at or near 30th in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency at the start of the tournament. They definitely were below 30th at one point last month. They are up to 17th now (which actually makes them the best defensive team in the tournament left, although Villanova is effectively tied with them). [Reply]

I checked pre Tourney and we were like 41. Our KenPom profile was nearly identical to the 18 team [Reply]

And their app sucks ass.
I watch MNF even when it isn't the Chiefs. But sometimes I turn the sound down or even off. I also delay watch it and advance at least 15 seconds between snaps that cuts down on some of the garbage and speeds the game up. [Reply]
