I think of the General Giap quote here: "that may be so, but it is also irrelevant."
Fouling with a big like Manek rebounding and potentially dunking or sinking a three after the first make is silly. That made rebounding suddenly relevant.

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?

He was happy with how game was officiated and how bigs battled down low (Of course because his big only had 3 fouls while ours had a combine 8) and he honestly thinks that someone hit that guy who vomited. He thinks UNC likely wins that game if Love doesn't shoot them out of it. 5-24 from the field with 1-8 from 3. Said they just had tired legs and halftime came at the worst time because they caught their breath and probably realized how dead tired they were.

Tears extra salty today.
He's right. But that's what KU does, it cuts off the head of the snake. We always try to take out the other team's best player.

It's part of the reason why there's always some shlub whose only attempted 5 3's all year who goes 6 of 8 against us.
and by that same token, KU woulda been up big had they just made the bunnies
and FTs. what the fuck Och!

It also set the record for number of times I yelled "Rebound!" at a tv.

We ran through the gamut last night. The 2012 physical pummeling. The 2003 missed free throws. The 1966 step out of bounds call. The 2010 big hitting timely threes. But the 2016 Trey Burke prayer clanked this time like the 2008 Davidson game. Man. Emotional roller coaster

I'm usually Team Foul, but not last night. We played great first shot defense all night and they had 24 offensive rebounds and what, maybe 30 second chance points? It felt dirty, but I was screaming "don't foul" at the TV. Plus, I think they were in the 1 and 1, so we would have had to dodge two potential rebound and kickout opportunities

I was personally hoping to be able to buy a big square like after 2008, but this is cooler and wider reaching.
