New Final Four weekend thread

Bullshit. North Carolina flops more than the Italian soccer team.

 

I think what is great about this tournament is this -- we got the best two teams without question playing in the championship game.

Memphis is unbelievable -- if they played UCLA in a seven-game series they'd probably win 4-1.

And Kansas and North Carolina were closer than Memphis and UCLA in terms of talent, but the Jayhawks are deeper than the Tar Heels, they are bigger and have more options in the paint and I think they are more athletic as well.

If that series were a 7-game series, I'd say Kansas wins in six, maybe seven, but more likely six.

The best two teams won tonight, no doubt.

 

Doesn't break my heart to see Roy cry. Disingenuous turd, he is.

I never felt Kansas could play disciplined enough for a long enough period of time to go beyond the Final Four. Thought they would make the Final Four on talent, but that was impressive. It took the Jayhawks a while to get back into gear, but they did respond to the challenge once they settled down.

Congratulations, Oz and other Jayhawker fans with actual ties to the school, region and team. kingcreole, I think. Can't remember anyone else.

Good luck on Monday. That is going to be one frantic game.

 

I will say that UCLA's run to the Final Four was somewhat suspect, I mean Miss Valley St., Texas A&M, Western Kentucky and Xavier is not a list of the who's who among basketball powers and I'm thinking just any number of teams could have negotiated that field and then got bombed by Memphis......

 

Didn't see him cry (yet ... it's probably coming) and would wonder what an example of him being disingenuous might be.

 

"I don't give a flip about North Carolina."

"We lost two games at home this year! Playing in Raleigh is no advantage!"

And yeah, I agree with BYH that he should have spent less time this week whining about how unloved he is in Lawrence, and more time figuring out a game plan.

Good coach. Annoying personality.

 

roy wins = "oh shucks."
roy loses = "oh shucks."

 

He really plays up the daggum, ole Roy is just a humble poor boy from the mountains that couldn't even afford a Coke. Just a down-to-earth kind of guy. That Roy Williams went away about 12-15 years ago.

 

It's been a helluva 2008 for Kansas fans, and this KU grad has been one proud Jayhawk.

Monday is going to be fun.

 

Yeah, that's it -- forget that Kansas played perhaps the best 15 minutes of basketball it could possibly play to start the game and that the Jayhawks were just too big and too strong under the basket for the Tar Heels -- this game was lost because in a news conference Williams made reference to and reflected on his time at his former school.....

And please explain to me which of the Tar Heels four wins in this tournament would have had a different outcome had they taken place in Boise or Denver instead of Raleigh and Greensboro........
