Kansas Crimson

https://www.espn.com/mens-college-baske ... version-30

"2. Kansas Jayhawks

Few can match the inside-outside combo of Devon Dotson and Udoka Azubuike, arguably the best point guard and the best low-post big man in the Big 12 and perhaps the nation. Kansas is one of the nation's best defensive teams, protecting the lane and the rim without fouling. To win it all, the Jayhawks need more consistent production outside of Dotson and Azubuike, specifically Ochai Agbaji, who can be a star-caliber player. If Agbaji can blossom even more in the final month of the season, Kansas can cut nets down."

His number 1 title contender is Baylor.
I just can't buy into Scott Drew when it counts - i.e. down 2 with the ball in an Elite Eight game.

seton hall got beat by a ranked creighton team. Who beat villanova on their home floor just a few weeks ago. creighton must be decent.

It's fairly simple. Teams 1-6 are really good. Better than the rest.

Teams 7-100 are all a crap shoot in their matchups. It's going to make the tournament crazy. If you matchup up any team 7-100 and you play the game 10 times, it'd be 5-5 for each time. That's how balanced those teams are.

We've had our fair share of elite 8 blunders and tournament blunders in general. Sometimes it's luck. Sometimes it's players. Sometimes it's coaching.

I don't think Scott Drew is nearly as bad of a coach as we make him out to be. I don't think he's a good/great coach, but there are a lot of coaches in the same tier as Drew that have made a final 4. Drew just has always been a bit of an ass towards KU and Self so we hate him. And that's okay. He's definitely not someone I enjoy.

Let’s assume he is a bad coach(cause alot of you say he is). His team this year maybe just good enough to overcome.

I have seen enough of baylor to conclude they are good.

Coaching is definitely important.

But having good players is equally as important, and I think they've got pretty good players.

And tbh, there are about 5-10 coaches (max) who wouldn't fall into the category of "don't trust them in elite 8 with their team down and game on the line".

Drew does some things very well and stinks at some other parts of his job. Sometimes his team wins because of him and sometimes they win despite him.

Just before Christmas I had my buddy who lives in Omaha hop over the river to place a bet for me that Creighton makes the Final Four. I was nervous there for a couple game stretch, but lately I've been liking it more and more.

One of the best shooting teams in the NCAA. 1st in 3 point % and top 3 in 3 point shots taken and made.

Big ole Greg McDermott adapted the new way of thinking before many did and he's thrived with it. He was the first guy to really play 4 out and shoot 3s the majority of the time down the floor.

The combo of Kansas, Duke, Baylor, Gonzaga, San Diego St, Maryland and Dayton AKA Top 7 teams in NCAA polls have been unbeaten in last 25 days.

75-5 since January 1st. And one of those losses is the Kansas loss to Baylor.

There are 7 really good teams. The rest of them are all good, but not really good.

well, it helps that Gonzaga, SDSU, and Dayton are playing a pretty easy schedule.

I saw a stat last weekend I think it was the only loss a Top 5 team had in 2020 was Kansas to Baylor. Crazy when you look at how December went.

But like PhD said, it helps when 3 of those 5 are playing Loyola Marymount every night.

Yes please. Nostalgic. Now bring back the nachos, the high pitched horn, the state of Kansas at mid court and you got yourself a definite throwback.

So which one are they wearing? There were 3 jerseys in that video, lol. Sure hope it's the 98-03 set. Those are my favorite KU jerseys.
