Official Gamethread: Miami Elite 8

LETS GO!!!!

[Sparko]

Exactly. We were luck to squeak by them, they had a shot at the end of the game...that's another team we shoulda beat by 20.

We play like shit in these situations.

Sounds like we've played bad against both high seeds and low seeds in many elite 8 matchups. We've also beaten high seeds and low seeds to go to the final 4.

Correct.

Not really no.

[ChicagoHawk]

Single elimination gets in everyone's head.

This is really it. Shit happens when you use a bad format for determining the best teams. By the time Self retires, there still won't be a big enough sample of E8 games to really say anything conclusive.

Where is 99 or jeep or DC saying we got this?

We got this!

Cut it to 2 by the 14 mark and I feel good.

2 by 14.

Had to make a halftime beer run.

We win by double digits

What was Davidson?

We are hopefully about to beat a 10 seed for yet another KU final 4.

I think in now 9 Elite Eight games, the only two we played well were UNC 2012 and Duke 2018. We survived Davidson 2008, had a tough loss in a slow, ugly game to Nova 2016, and some real turds in the others. Hopefully this becomes a second ugly win.

Let's see who Self called a name they didn't like at halftime.

We need to knock down some 3s and execute when we can run.

So, you agree, it doesn't benefit us to play double digit seeds in the E8.

LOL

It is harder to beat teams that are better at basketball. You're over thinking this.

[KUTradition]

We'll be fine
