One KU basket last 6 minutes of the half!
I think he can and has to. Bacots a better big but they need McCormack bad.
They should have put him back on imo. Going down 15 with the way unc is playing lately might be a death sentence
One of those times when you realize you haven’t seen a team all year. I guess I only saw a few minutes here and there of Kansas this year. Everyone on that team has looked absolutely terrified to shoot and their talent level looks really - mediocre?
Has Remy Martin’s shot always looked so appalling? I don’t remember it being that busted looking, but then I really only watched ASU to laugh at them.
Ok, I like Hubert Davis.

My new bracket picking strategy is to go with teams from conferences everyone thinks suck.

Kansas’ talent level - their rotation has like 2-3 top 100 recruits. Since Self got his hand slapped, they are not remotely the recruiting juggernaut you’d think.
Carolina barely plays anyone outside of their starting 5, which hold 4 top 50 recruits (and a quality 5th year veteran). From the moment Dawson Garcia got hurt, Manek popped into the starting 5, and Davis decided to only give his bench about 8-10 relevant minutes a game, Tbis team has been quite good.

I don’t know how the heck UNC gets 3 years out of every 5 star whereas every time Michigan gets a top 40 guy on campus, they pack their bags the second the clock hits zero after sophomore year

To be fair I’d bet Love and Davis (sophomores) are gonzo. Hard to see Bacot staying too.

and this is Manek’s final year right? is the whole roster built around Puff Johnson next year?
it’s wild. They have two five stars on their starting squad….both multi year guys.
someone askinng about UNC aplayer archetypes and how to replicate that.
step 1: be UNC
step 2: recruit 5 stars and top 50 guys
step 3: get them to stay longer than a year

Caleb Love being atrocious last year was actually a godsend for them.

If Caleb Love had been atrocious for us last year he’d be playing the Yugoslavian professional league this year.

How can’t you after that? I’m having a hard time maintaining an appropriate level of dislike for UNC. If it weren’t for Love’s heat-checky nonsense…

3 point percentage increased by over 10% from last year to this year lol.
In all seriousness the KU recruiting rankings are Beilein-Esque. Honest Q: is self better than we give him credit for?

what happened with Davis?
They’re all upper classmen.

McCormack was rated that highly?! I never paid attention to him as a prospect but at KU he’s never struck me as anything more than just a guy.
Sure but they’ve been top ten when these guys were young too.
