Maybe the whole "one crazy day then one chalky day" will hold and KU can hold serve tomorrow.

Ugh.

Ugh.

Gonzaga is the best team, but other than BYU, the Zags haven't been tested much; it'll be interesting to see how they handle a grind-it-out sort of game...better teams have folded in March.

Tested?

Beat Kansas. Beat West Va. Beat Iowa. Smoked Virginia. Destroyed Auburn.

They beat every P5 team by double digits, except for West Va.

They’re damn good. They can beat you inside or out. They’re one of the best teams we’ve seen in college basketball in the last decade. And he’s, throw last years Kansas team into that mix.

I speak now to the Oral Roberts University faculty, staff, students, boosters, and fans who have wished for their evangelical university to achieve athletic glory: Brothers and sisters, I bring good tidings. Last night, as I slept, I was visited by the lord God himself, Jesus Christ, just as the founder of your proud university was many times before. As he stood at the foot of my bed, resplendent in all his glory, our savior delivered unto me a message. He said to me, in a voice that sounded of the sweetest birdsong, that the mighty Golden Eagles will reach the Final Four of the 2021 NCAA men’s tournament, but only if I am able to raise $5 million.

[...]

Anyway, the point is that I am but a humble servant, just as Oral Roberts was, and I am simply trying to do what my lord asks of me. He has given us a great opportunity, and it would be a shame to turn away from his light now, when the Golden Eagles have already come so far. My Venmo is @Tom-Ley. We have until Saturday to raise that $5 million and punch our ticket to the Final Four. Once we do that, I’ll have another chat with Jesus about what needs to be done to make sure the Golden Eagles take home the national title.

I Alone Can Get Oral Roberts University To The Final Four, But My Flock Can Help

I mean, Kentucky's been pretty successful and the SEC has been a trash conference for most of it's existence.

I had thought Big East was a decided mid major in those days, no?
