Elite 8 - The U vs Kansas

[Swerve]

We are in the Final 8.

I don’t give a **** I am just pointing out some of the issues we have had forever and it showed today more than ever. It was just a matter of time before it caught up to us.

 

[cyrez8]

Great effort but the refs changed momentum in the second half and Kansas took advantage with the kill

Big congrats to this team and Coach L for getting us our first Elite 8. The next few years will hopefully build on this.

 

[Memnon]

We went as far as we could go which is much further than anyone expected before the season...

**** of season for this team, most 10 seeds don’t make it to Elite 8’s, so this team way way overachieved.

They have nothing to hang their head for, they & we should be overly proud by how far they took this season.

This will translate to great recruiting success & help us become even more of a destination spot for Portal Seniors.

The future is bright & there’s nowhere to go but up from here!

Go Canes!

It’s time for coach L to retire and turn the team over to Someone else. I am elated what he has accomplished, but he also handcuffed this team bye not getting bigs and never have a bench.

GFY

That one play Moore had mcgusty on a two on one and didn’t pass and got hurt, game ended there

Game was over when Kansas went ice cold in the first half and we couldn’t extend the lead. Should have been up 12 points at the half.

fun, impressive season. Hope they can build on this as a program and we can stay consistently good. Showed they can play with virtually any program in the country when we are on our game

GFY

I’ve got 3-4 new ignores from this thread alone

Thanks for an amazing run, CANES (and a glorious first half)

This. Moore has been terrible

 

[Hold My Beer]

Just an inexcusable second half

Inexcusable?

We were swimming uphill in the second half and couldn't hit shots or slow down an elite program who probably spends 20 times what we do on basketball.

That's how things go sometimes

Would love to see Wong and Miller come back next year and lead this team. If both come back there might not be a huge drop off if we can get a true big man. Have a weird feeling Wong is dead set on leaving after almost going last offseason

 

[Cryptical Envelopment]

A blue blood top three team in America with NBA talent is playing the half of the tournament against us. We can nitpick or even fairly point out our litany of mistakes, but it really comes down to that. Not much us or any other team could do right now. They are that good and firing on all cylinders.

This is definitely not the time to call for Larranaga's head. Not after the season we just had. Past recruiting mistakes may have come back to hurt us today, but the future looks bright. Hopefully, Wong comes back and we can add another piece or two to this incoming class and we should be set for another run next few years.

 

[Hold My Beer]

OK, they doing us now like we did Auburn

 

[who]

Great run. No one expected us to get past USC, let alone Auburn.

 

[TC@ne]

Amazing season Coach L. Let’s work on building depth and getting some quality frontcourt play back at this program.

Thank you for proving me wrong this year and bringing some momentum back to this program.

We had a great run…I’m ok with it.
