Really? You never heard of Thybulle?
Unfortunately I remember him playing against (and beating) KU in 2017 - and he had a great game.

Dok's dominance in the paint, Dotson's speed, and Garrett's ability to lock a guy down and be distuptive on defense. Those are all elements you can count on every game. You don't have an off-night at being big, or fast, or at being a great perimeter defender. And with the possible exception of Dok, they're not things you can have a bad matchup for.

It's a shame for everyone on that roster that they didn't get the chance to prove themselves.

2020 had it all. Dominating presence in the middle. Speed with primary ball handler, shooters that could do enough to keep it respectable in Braun and Ochai and a lockdown defender in MG.

That team would have rolled through the tournament, and I don't think it would have been close until Elite 8 weekend.

I'm good with this thread not being bumped up again until we're underway on Saturday.
