Correct. There also was never any narrative that you can't make a Final Four with Dave, Mitch, or Harris on your team.

Yes there was.

Like I said just above, "could vs. would" matters a lot. No one said they couldn't; many said they wouldn't.

Sure. St Peter's "could" have.

But that wasn't the energy.

Can't. Wouldn't. Those words were used.

Whatever you need to tell yourself to make you feel superior. It's a complete lie.

IIRC, the debate was KU couldn't make a Final Four with someone like DH being the starting PG AND playing 32-35 minutes. To that, I don't think it's a coincidence that Kansas has hit their peak as Remy was coming back and Harris minutes went from low-mid 30s to low-mid 20s.

social medias whackjobs gotta be social medias whackjobs.

the majority of the 13 active contributors to this forum have spent the last calendar year hacking on DH, Big Dave and The Lightfoot. i know that you were not fishing for those contributors to admit they were wrong. you were just acknowledging the kids achievements. celebrating the kids accomplishments. recognizing how far the kids have come. showing them some love. as we all should.

Much closer to the truth.

This group needed to be fully healthy, and catch breaks, for this to happen. Great for us that all of those did.

Yea.

If Dajuan played 35 minites against Creighton, I’m not sure we advance

We don't get by Creighton without Remy.

Without Remy, this team is essentially last year's team with Och and CB obviously being better--that is also a take that came from Self's mouth. With Och going MIA against Creighton, we would have been toast without Remy and we would have all had uncomfortable conversations about Och's legacy.

oh are the people who talked up Harris all season while shitting on Remy now claiming victory because DH and Mitch were dragged to the F4 by our better players? I love it.

Why would I feel superior? I didn't do anything. Our players are the ones who should feel proud.

I haven't seen a single person "shit" on Remy. And especially not since he's been playing like an All American player the last 3ish weeks. Everything I have seen has been positive and complimentary of Remy lately. He's been awesome.

It's almost like some of you are mad we made the final four? Weird energy.

It's usually hard to know what is going on in illy's head, but that does seem to be the vibe. Flat out inventing things to try and look like the superior poster.

Thank you for the reply! I'm gathering information and will reply on the merits here soon. Watch this space!

David McCormack was a McDonald's All-American and our highest rated recruit on this team.

Mitch and Dajuan combine for 10 ppg.

What in the world are you trying to sell now to shit on KU fans?

It was...checks notes...ten years ago this weekend that Conner Teahan averaged 17mpg for KU in a Final Four.

Hell, even 2012 Kevin Young and Justin Wesley.

The cool YouTube videos of planes making successful belly landings despite stuck nosegear should not lead one to conclude that planes do not need nosegear.
