Best part....KU can’t EVER be the 1st #1.
While I don’t feel all that bad for my neighbors here in central Mizzery I did feel bad for MPJ. Will he be fine long term? Sure, he will make some money in the league. But he did fight pretty hard (including against his parents I think) to come back. Didn’t have to and he gets my respect for that.
Newman appeared to be another victim of Big 12 vs. NCAA reffing. Is it me or do we see this almost every year? Two of his fouls would have been serious “play ons/are you kidding me” fouls in a WVU game. If he can avoid that and hit his first or second 3 I will bet he’ll be fine. I’m way more concerned about what’s going to happen in the paint. We need DeSousa to be back in “in your face Konate” mode, and really good minutes from Doke when he is in. The good news is they aren’t playing the “best 16 seed in history” this game, so maybe they have a chance. Sorry...got really sick of hearing that.
