Please show me where I said those things. What I AM saying is that Self did a great job developing them. And Oregon is a more talented team. Kansas probably had only one NBA player on that floor tonight. Oregon has won over 30 games. That's not luck. I get your upset being a Kansas fan, I'm not trying to trash them. Oregon was just underrated because they aren't a name school and play on the West coast.
So goes back to my point that the better team won and I'm not surprised they won and looked better.
Did Bill Self kick your dog? WTF with the hatred?
If anything by turning Mason into the Player of the Year, he demonstrated how great he is in these areas.
To be fair, Davidson had a guy named Stephen Curry on their team

2-7***
He's been real bad in the elite 8, and he was one Davidson 3 point miss away from being 1-8 all time and 0 championships. It's pretty tough being a ku fan. Yes we are good every year, but we lose in the most heartbreaking ways time and time again.
Yeah a Davidson team that also beat a 2-seed and a 3-seed that tournament. But hey, they are a mid-major they must suck though, amirite?
Lol this guy.
yup. getting old real quick. It is not solely on Self though.
Usually we just don't play well or the other team shoots lights out. nature of the tournament. What makes March madness so good, also makes it heartbreaking sometimes.
Not hating on Davidson, but that was a miracle run. A blue blood like Kansas should win that game 9 times out of 10.
He struggles in the games when he doesn't have much time to prepare. His record speaks volumes about that. This loss IMO isn't on him though. Oregon is a great team and was overlooked by the majority of media and fans.
Seriously. AND Oregon won 31 games last year and reached the Elite 8. They're experienced and despite losing their leading shot blocker and floor stretcher in Boucher, they've been gritty as hell since he went out 5 games ago.
Brooks, Dorsey and Bell all have legit NBA potential. They have great role players around them and all of them are seasoned and gritty-type players. Altman is a GREAT coach.
This wasn't an upset. Oregon was the better team and it showed. The guards cancelled each other out and Bell was the difference maker.

I'm not saying that, im interrupting what hes saying
You might want to check your reading comprehension skills then and not put words in my mouth

Yeah, sounds like youre saying they had low talent guys to me . /shrug
I'm saying they weren't as talented as Oregon. That =/= me saying they were low talent. Oregon likely has more NBA talent on their team. Jackson is probably the only NBA player on Kansas. And
And as far as you trying to infer that I was saying he couldn't develop players he turned Mason into the Player of the Year.
But if I stated incorrect facts, please point them out instead of your snide assumptions.
dunno about Oregon but this is probably true.

Come on yall, I thought we had a bit of sense ITT. Now KU guard's are D2 talent, what a fucking joke.
Ignorant winners/Sore losers are the worst.
I will say though, Oregon is a good team. But no need to downplay KU to make Oregon look like the assuredly better team.

What other schools recruited Mason and Graham besides Towson and Appalachian state? What were their recruiting rankings coming out of high school. Please show facts. (EDIT: I'm wrong on Grahams offers it appears he signed with App St initially but NC state likely also recruited him. Still wasn't a highly sought out prospect nor will be an NBA player)
Also please show where I said Kansas was bad. I am just saying Josh Jackson is the only NBA player on this Kansas team. And Just that Oregon had more NBA talent and that they were underrated. But hey, let's blow everything I said out of proportion
And without Josh Jackson, this KU team lost in KC to TCU just two weeks ago. Just let that sink in if you truly believe Kansas was oozing with talent.

2 days ago I'm accused of hating Kansas, now I'm here defending them
When has high school offers ever been a proper way to evaluate talent or player skill, Or NBA potential for that matter. How about FM3 averaging 21 pts, 4 rb, 5 ast, 49% fg, and 47 3pt% this year. How is that not enough to prove he is a great player.
When they played at rupp this year I thought they had the best backcourt on the floor.
I don't know why KU has to be 'oozing with talent' to have been considered the fav in that game, they were the higher seed and did you idk, see the games in the tourney leading up to this, they were completely on fire.
I could fucking careless about KU online reputation on a video game sub forum, but calling their back court, who I would rank top 5 in the country D2 level talent is absurd.
(I'm assuming you're an Oregon fan or something, I have no idea, just take your W, hang it on the wall and move on)
Now if nobody minds, I'm going to get into my nerve cocoon, and surround myself with soft UK blankys until game time.

As a Heels fan, this is what I've been thinking. Very nervous for today's game, though.

Yep. Big fish in a little pond. Beating up on all those Big 12 teams doesn't prep you well enough for the dance.

I'm so glad other people think that. It gets pretty tiring hearing
KU wins the conf every year, praises indefinitely.
UK wins their conf nearly every year, because the conf is weak.
I'm sorry, but any team that wins their conf 13(?) times in a row, that's more a reflection of their conference than their team. If UK won 13 years in a row, the narrative would be the sec sucks except Kentucky.

Why would those 2 things be related?
Residual embarrassment for Clemson's pathetic program. It would be SC's first F4 while their program is spinning the wheels.
