I want us to create more fast break chances too,  ur we were atrocious in transition. We had fast breaks end in zero points a lot.

I second this, but at least against UMBC our transition D was good, they didn't get much in the fast break either.

It didn't work out too bad.  We're in the sweet 16.

After reading about a Jones fracture, I am surprised Stokes has been able to play.
This is from a medical site on the web so it has to be correct:  A person who has had surgery to repair a Jones fracture can expect a return to all activity, including sports, 3-4 months after surgery. However, the doctor may recommend a period of physical therapy to recondition the injured area.

Most Jones fractures don't require surgery.

Stokes played 39 minutes last night.  Four steals, five rebounds, three assists and two turnovers.  Six points on 2 for 7 although at least two of his shots were taken with the shot clock about to expire.

His defense was very disruptive to Kentucky.  I hope that most posters are now looking forward to him being back next year and competing to start and for playing time with Diarra, McQuirl and Williams.  He is a valuable player for us and showed that last night.

Totally agree, Mak.

The guard situation is shaping up to be an embarrassment of riches in 2018-19.

Mawien should be resting and watching film, not posting in this thread.  If he is ready to go he should dominate tomorrow.  Look at this goober he is up against:



I'm betting on this guy:

Kam says we would have won the champy with DWade healthy.  Also says those two oscar teams would have mopped the floor with the Tang Gang.

No way I’m clicking that link but no way Killa Kam said they would mop the floor with the 2022 squad

Well Kam said they would have won back to back NCAA titles with a healthy Claws so not sure why you would think the 2022 cats would be better than that.

Damnit, he went full lunatic

Deathbite, who played point guard for those teams, is happy to provide an answer.

“We definitely would have won the NCAA Tournament,” Stokes said during a wide-ranging interview that you can hear on today’s episode of The Star’s SportsBeat KC podcast. “For sure. Absolutely, no question.”

I think it's fair to give them the final four. I don't know which team is better, it'd be a hell of a game though.

Where I sit, we would've/could've had a FF vs Loyola with a healthy Dean. Just as we would've/could've had a FF with a rested non-double OT game vs Xavier when we played Butler, but both didn't happen.

But it's all mute, would be a legit good game, and I love Kam, but also no, most likely not won any Natty's with a healthy Dean.
