Late Weigh In

I guess the fact that I did not watch the game takes some of the sting of the season being over away. Maybe I’m just older or maybe it is all the other crap going on in my life that relegates the Jayhawks loss to a smaller focus. Whatever the case, I am framing this season in a very positive light. Last season we lost to an region team that was a good team but a team we beat 7 times out of 10. Losing to the best team in the country is not the desired outcome but it is not one I get much angst from.

Lowlights (with impact on scale of 1 to 10):
— Not winning the NC (2)
— Losing three home games (4)
— Preston saga (5)
— Playing brain dead against Washington in Sprint Center (4)
— Vick’s swoon (5)
— Malik’s swoon (3)
— Losing twice to OSU (5)
— Enduring Trae Young hype (6)
— Pok-a-Dok-gate at Norman (7)
— Dok’s free throw shooting in general (5)
— Garret’s lackus offensus (6)
— FBI release of info on college recruiting (0)


Highlights
— Winning 14 straight (10)
— Winning Big 12 tourney (7)
— Devonte’s emergence as 1st team AA (9)
— Malik’s resurgence (7)
— Dok’s Continuous development (7)
— Lightfoot heart (meaning he has pretty much no reason ever in this or 10,000 lifetimes playing center in a 4 guard lineup but gave 100% effort 100% of the time) (
— De Sousa’s emergence (7)
— Breaking Self’s Elite 8 curse (
— Breaking Self’s Elite 8 curse by beating Duke (10)
— Beating Duke and Kentucky (10)
— Self’s locker room video after Duke game (9)
— Making the Final Four (9)
— Beating OU (Trae Young) by 30 going away (
— Win in Lubbock (7)
— Devonte’ and Svi senior season enjoyment (9)
— Anticipating Romeo Langford committing to KU (3)
— All the tweets from past Jayhawks after Duke game (10)
— RockChalk Challenge (10)

So after evaluating there was way way more to be happy about than sad. So I am officially looking back at this season with great fondness.

Agree completely that there was so much more to be happy about this season than to fret over.
