He's a basketball genius. One of the highest BBIQs of any player I've ever seen. [Reply]

Iowa plays no defense whatsoever. We matchup great with them. Rebraca is a load but not very long. Missouri also plays no defense and we destroyed them. [Reply]
Not sure I've ever even watched Embiid in the NBA, which kind of sucks... combo of not paying attention until the playoffs, and his injury history once I do start watching. [Reply]

One of the best athletes in the history of basketball. He's probably never gonna win MVP as long as Jokic and Giannis are still at this level but players of his quality have won them many times before. [Reply]

He’s really lived up to his otherworldly potential.
He’s not quite the shot blocker that I thought he would be, but his skill game is incredible. He’s turned into a really reliable 3 point shooter (mid-high 30 %’s) and shoots like 85% from the line.
He’s also like 50 pounds heavier than he was at Kansas. [Reply]
There’s evidence AFH isn’t a huge HFA. A study was done years ago that compared a teams home margin vs its road margin. And KU ranked in the 100s for that measure [Reply]

KenPom ranks them 64th in HCA this year (https://kenpom.com/hca.php). I'll take any advantage we can get any time we can get it. [Reply]
