Just want to see some fight and a lot less unforced turnovers. KU needs to be the more aggressive team today. Do that and they have a great chance.

under 15 turnovers and we should have a decent chance, presuming we shoot a decent percentage
under 10 and we win, i think

we match-up well with Zags, assuming they don't go 8-10 to start the game and we don't have bone headed lapses. We have a shot.
The concerning thing to me is that we seem to have 5-8 minhtr spans where we just are awful, turnovers, terrible shots, bad defense...just entire team dissapears for stretches. We're at the point in the year where those are season ending stretches.
The other obvious flaw is our inability to hold any lead against any team. It's infuriating. We can play great and build a lead and none of it matters if we can't hold it.

I've been a big defender of Juan, but those bad stretches I refer to....I put a lot of that on him. Senior point guard has got to take control and keep those missteps from spiraling into full blown collapse.

i think there’s a direct linkage between your second two paragraphs
unfortunately, i think those are stretches where we’ve had to sub…so, i don’t think they’re going to magically disappear. we can only hope to their impact at this point. quite frankly, Elmarko has to play better just to be able spell minutes for the starting guards. otherwise it sure seems like fatigue will become a factor

yea, I agree with all of that. I'm just hoping adrenaline and momentum (if we can build any) gets us through.

Espn says 41% chance of KU in the sweet 16, 3.2% chance of a final four, 0.2% of a title.

Sure, but we were still favorites, and should have won

Just noticed the women are playing at the same time.
A big middle finger from the NCAA.

I am still a little stiff and sore from watching the game late Friday. I am not sure if I will be able to complain about the officiating with the same vigor.
I especially want to thank the NCAA for moving its HQs out of Kansas City and lying about the reasons while launching a many-year campaign to make KU championships difficult slogs while cashing the checks the Phog Allen legacy has helped pump up. (Warming up slowly)
