@ZackM thanks so much for adding this chat-to-thread feature. Fucking awesome. I wasn't in chat obviously but now I can relive it all. I'm expecting at least 10 pages of "GAME."

I think it will be huge for user engagement and user retention. And there were surprisingly few GAME posts.

I took the under on the combined points. My thought was that while giving up 80+ pts is likely, it's also likely that we don't score 70.

Won money. Pissed because I strongly debated putting money on Duke to win. In the end, my natural pessimism was too much.

archiving the game thread posts will probably limit my alcohol intake throughout the season

Nice. I like having the 9 man rotation. Hopefully it continues.

 

[torontoduke]

Not bad distribution. Would like to see Baker, but perhaps not a good matchup

 

[rome8180]

You mean a matchup against a basketball in a game that counts? I agree.

Highlights from tonights game:

 

[Slap the Floor]

Up 37-32 with 18:08 left in the game, Kansas went on a 14-0 run to take a 46-37 lead with 14:20 left in the game. Up 45-37, Dotson made 1/2 free throws. Jones assisted a wide open Carey at the top of the key for his second three of the game, ending the Kansas run, and cutting the lead to 6. On the next possession, Moore was called for a block and McCormack missed both free throws, and coming the other way Jack White hit a trailing 3 from the top of the key in transition. On two Kansas possessions they went 1/4 from the line, and we hit 2 threes from the top of the key from Carey and White to get back into the game at 46-43.

The biggest shot of the game was 3:50 left. Kansas had just gone on a 6-0 run to go up 58--56. We forced a missed shot and in transition Hurt drilled a corner 3 for the lead. If he misses that we probably lose.

^ Cassius with the big got damn marbles. I already love his moxie.

Hard-nosed? More like hard-ASS.

 

[deeyoukayeee]

Got to agree that this team will have to succeed by uglying it up. We may play like Assius, but we'll make our opponent play like Ass.

K admitted in the post game presser last night that he needs to learn how to sub.

Completely forgot about Bolden ditching us this season. Is that bad?

What is bad is that Bolden went Undrafted
