Two teams that like to choke in big games. Hmmm.

Yeah...Kansas has only been to three Elite Eights, two Sweet Sixteens, and two championship games (including one title) in the last 9 seasons.

Honestly Kansas hasn't choked in big games. They've struggled with the underdog low seeds.

ALL those big games and only one title ...

Not as much recently. And one of those was VCU in the Elite Eight. Last year we lost without Perry Ellis and the year before we lost without Joel Embiid...both were the most important players on the team. The year before that was an unfortunate Sweet Sixteen loss when a really good Michigan team couldn't miss a shot.

I'll give you the choke to UNI in 2010.

Well it is hard to win a title.

Fair enough, and you're right. I guess maybe it's just more of a feel I get at times. It feels like they play a little tighter against them. It's all I am really basing my opinion on.

Right. And Duke and UConn (with two different coaches) have won two in that time. No other team has more than one. KU and UK have both appeared in the title game twice and have gone 1-1.

Tom Izzo has the reputation for being one of the best big game coaches in the country. He hasn't won a title since 2000 and lost in the first round this year.

It's the nature of the beast.

What time frame? UNC has two since Self has been at KU

I should say that Perry Ellis played last year, but he was playing on a bad knee and KU was only 3-3 after he got hurt (2-2 after he was playing on the bad knee).

You could probably argue that losing to Wichita State was a bit of a choke.

I was going back to 2007 because it benefited my argument. The two years prior (Self's first two years), KU had very bad losses to Bucknell and Bradley in the first round.

Can someone explain why I can't withdraw vbucks from the bank? I keep getting a "The amount you are trying to transfer is invalid."

How much you trying to withdraw?

 

[NDPhilly]

As someone who grew up a St Joes fan I hate Nova about as much as Michigan but they've been shooting incredibly. If they don't cool down they are probably going to win it all...that hurt to type.

Yeah. They've been lights out. KU is athletic and pretty tenacious on defense (especially guards), but Nova looks scary right now.

Yea Nova's been killin it, actually surprised. Don't know what's with the big 5 rivalry hate though. C'mon man, gotta support the Philly team.

How much you trying to withdraw?

anything.. It was a higher amount.. I don't exactly know. What are the limits?

 

[KPENN]

anything.. It wont let me withdraw a dollar..

Weird, it let me. Are you keeping the decimal in at the end?

I have been copy pasting. 1st world problems here and I'm getting crazy bout it..
Trying this 977,520,671,787.99 and it says "The amount you are trying to transfer is invalid."

Did you remove all the commas? If you go to withdraw 1000 vbucks it should look like this 1000.00

Nah man only Big 5 team I'd root for is maybe Penn. really don't like Nova and Temple. To many bad memories of Holy War games haha.

BEET!

GO PHILLY!!!!

 

[NDgradstudent]

This how the game against UK last year would have gone if they had not had 7 more FT attempts than us. Nova wasn't making (non-FT) shots late either.

 

[IrishJayhawk]

Trip?

 

[NDgradstudent]

Trip?

Yeah, that was a laughable call.
