That's 3-0 by my count of games that were close at the end that Kansas pulled out for a win vs. P5 teams. So far.
Insane ending. Wahl had his hands on the rebound but couldn’t quite snag it. Credit to the Kansas player for the put back layup. Kansas survives a great game from Wisconsin!Quote:

yeah and #3 was ball watching and aimlessly drifting toward the basket instead of putting a body on his man. he had ample time to get in his way even slightly, and even beat him to the box, before letting him go underneath, exactly what boxing out would prevent.Quote:

Heels look a little off. Portland making shots.

Even worse for Kansas, though. ;)Quote:

Carolina, however, has lots of experience and just got smoked. HAHAHAHAHA
The holes got grilled.

Drilled?Quote:

- ISU dunk when UNC falls asleep on D
- Bacot turnover, pass to Nance who bobbles it
- ISU hits insane long three
- Bacot turnover, tries to go backdoor but throws it into defender's leg
- ISU hits tough jumper
- Bacot turnover, weak perimeter pass that gets picked off
- ISU fouled by Bacot on ensuing transition layup, hits two free throws
- Love jacks up dumb three with tons of time on shot clock, air balls it
From there it's a couple empty posssessions and then they play the foul game. I know we think of our own team as having collapsed at the end of that Kansas game, but having veterans like the CHeats doesn't make you immune to blowing a lead in the closing minutes. To be fair, ISU hit some tough shots and played great D. I don't understand why the CHeats have Bacot initiating their offense 30 feet from the basket, it seems like you'd want him in the paint with a guard handling the ball but what do I know... GTHC
We had that game and just handed lt to them starting at about the two minute mark. It almost felt like the moment was too big for the team.Quote:

I suspect that, by March, we will perform better in the last few minutes than we did in that game.
uconn took down bama by 15 after beating oregon by 24 last night...both far larger than expected. playing really good ball right now. would be just like them to choke against ISU tomorrow night...but i'm okay with that given ISU took down the real enemy.
A Duke win in basketball, a Cheat loss in basketball and a Cheat loss in Football. Plus, the Cheat losses were the break your heart type losses. I just wish Duke could have had a win in Football and that would have been, "how sweet it is" day.
GoDuke and GTHC!!!!
Purdue destroyed Gonzaga last night 84-66.
Maybe this will be the year Gonzaga doesn’t have the 1 seed in the West locked up in December!Quote:
