at 41 I'm pretty sure I can get my feet further off the floor than half the dudes they played so far. Thats not bragging because I've lost any hops I ever had. It just tells you how unathletic their 20 year old guys are

I’ve said it before but it bears repeating...

college basketball is by and large a godawful product... I was so desperate for success that if we’d won titles the last 2 years averaging 50 points a game, I’d still be ecstatic... but I’m so so so so so so thankful we not only are winning, but are winning playing the most fun style of ball to watch

can you imagine watching 35 Iowa games a year?
 
They are playing at a different speed the second half. Look like they belong. Barnes took hi foot off the gas and started trying to shorten the game 10 minutes too early.
 
UNC giving up a TON of open 3’s... UW is 2/7, but haven’t had a guy within 10 feet of them on probably 5 of them

we just need to make shots, because they’re lost getting back in transition or anytime UW has worked a crisp, multiple ball reversal half court possession... but if we don’t make shots they’re gonna murder us in transition because they attack the rim full speed, with size

We can't pose after 3's or dunks AT ALL vs these dudes. White does the same thing Harper does where if he sees you aren't going to get back quickly he pushes the hell out of it and punishes you. They did the same thing off a make we did yesterday...inbound to PG, long pass head to best shooter who has run out to towards the corner 3, knock it down before the defense has even gotten back.

The more I watch this the more I want Chuma on Maye to shut him down. He seems more key to their attack vs the zone obviously but I think he's key to them having any balance inside vs outside. Plus half their OREBs are coming off Maye misses where he gets everyone off balance and the entire defense is out of rebounding position.

Forgive me because I’m borderline drunk, but we’re talking about how we’re gonna fvck UNC up in the Sweet Sixteen. I need a minute to soak that up.
 
Have some friends that are going to Kansas City. Sadly, I can’t do both so I’m holding out for Minneapolis.
