I remember Forte's first shot as a Heel. He pulled from about six feet beyond the arc and it was just nylon. Like, damn. Alright, that kid ain't scared! Oh, and 24 and 16 vs. duke at Cameron. That was an all-timer.

One of my absolute favorites to watch. Such an old school baller. Just silky smooth. So smooth he looked slow but he couldn't have been because no one could guard him. That guy single handedly delayed 8-20. With him taking all the attention, guys like Capel and Lang looked legit. When he was gone and they were the focus... uh oh.

At the end of the day, we shot 32% from the field and 22% from three and we STILL came three points shy of a national championship. We did it by fighting our fuging asses off. Out-rebounded them 55-35. We couldn't hit water from a boat from the field but we shot 82% from the FT line and that kept us in the game.

Yeah, Walton reminded me so much of a young Forte last year but I just don't know if he's quick enough to stay in front of ACC guards playing the type of pressure man D Hubert wants to play. Not sure about Love and Bacot. Both terrific college players but I'm not sure about their NBA prospects. Love is a classic combo guard. Doesn't really have the court vision of a PG and is undersized in the NBA at SG. He really struggled on both ends of the court tonight dealing with the length of the KU guards and that's every night in the NBA. Bacot definitely doesn't have prototypical NBA athleticism but the guy has more than held his own against legit future NBA centers. I think he can play a long time in the league, particularly if he can add a reliable 15-17' jumper to his game.

Trimble looks unreal. Really shocked he's not considered a top 10 recruit. CRAZY bounce. That dude's gonna have some highlights. Walton needs to either transfer or commit himself to playing D. He fell out of the rotation due to defensive liability. We had plenty of other shooters. Yeah, I don't know what happened with Garcia. I thought it was legit family illness stuff until a reporter asked the guys after one of the tourney wins (I think Baylor) if any of them had heard from Garcia and everyone just kinda looked around at each other and Bacot just laughed. Something happened there, but I don't know what. After seeing that exchange I'd be surprised to see him back.

Not exaggerating when I say that I think he's the best college rebounder I've ever seen. To do what he did this season as literally our only true post player in the rotation? Damn.

Hate it for the guy. He literally went until the wheels fell off. Helluva gutsy game from him.

I'm just seeing a reflection off of shiny hardwood.

To be clear, giving up the big lead WAS. a choke job but taking that punch and fighting back and making it nip and tuck the rest of the game despite being pretty much ice damn cold and completely gassed? Man, that was fuging heart.

Yep. Y'all had to win that tourney to get in and balled the fug out. Be proud.

There's a couple who are gonna have some time away to marinate on some pretty awful takes on kids playing for a scholarship for their entertainment.

Other than checking a box for an HR department I can't honestly say I've ever truly used my degree. Just being honest. Our higher education approach could use a significant retooling.

They played their asses off. Man, they were red hot in that one.

Nah. It wasn't a choke job. They took the punch and got back up off the mat. We just ran out of gas down the stretch. The short bench finally caught up to us. Bacot literally went until the wheels fell off.

Been saying it since the Baylor win. It's all house money now. Sucks to lose but that was fun run. It'll never get old reminiscing about derailing K's farewell tour. Twice.

We were gonna get blown out before the lock. That got us back in the game.

Yep. Sucks to come up one game short but that was an insane run.

I lied. That's one's two days. Folks, get it together. Trashing kids playing their asses off for a scholarship? They're fuging kids. Be better. Opposing fans taking jabs is one thing, but "Heels fans" trashing the kid that got us here? A KID? Not a pro, a kid. Be better than that.

FYI, posts like this are catching 24 hour bans. Calling kids playing for a scholarship trash is trash behavior.

Hey. It's the greatest non-championship season in history. I ain't mad. Great job guys!

Damn.

I'm on the verge of a fuging heart attack.

#33 working on like his 14th foul

Love ran out of gas. He can't hit poo tonight.

Started playing scared to lose
