Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

I loved seeing Bill Self's demeanor change from laid back, to absolutely frantic, jumping and screaming all over the place. Almost showed me that we were TOTALLY underestimated.

Best plays from the game (all have already been mentioned) . . .

1. Johnny's three pointer and fist pump
2. Jordan's three pointers
3. Lucas' airballed free throw and Coach Jake's reaction
4. Kerwin's alleyoop to Adam
5. Ali's behind the back pass to Adam
6. Jake's charges
7. Ali's three pointer with under 30 seconds to play

The whole game was something that will be remembered for a long time! I really hope some DVD is put together commemorating this season . . .

Jordan's free throw violation (or attempted block shot)

I agree Prof. As great as Adam has been, I can see Jake being even better as he goes through his career here. Better outside shot at this age, and I think better ballhandler as well.

He's such a cool customer as a freshman. Coach Jake didn't seem to have any second thoughts about having him in at crunch time. In fact, he played brilliantly.

Sonnen played wonderfully as a freshman as well. His shooting, ability to get to the basket, and ball-handling are all superb.

Jordan's free throw violation (or attempted block shot)

That was the craziest FT mechanics I have ever seen. I can't even remember who it was (Cole?) but it was the equivalent of 20 screaming babies.

It really shouldn't be a violation when the shooting motion is that violent. I mean, that was worse than a combination of John "Hot Rod" Williams and Bill Cartwright.

Favorite moment? How about the whole game!

After further thinking I have decided that the conditions under which I watched added to my enjoyement. For various reasons I found myself watching the game on a partially installed tiny under the kitchen cabinet flip down screen. The only way the rabbit ears worked was if my brother sat perfectly still and in a certain spot. He was not allowed to get excited otherwise the picture was disrupted. I will be watching Friday in a much better manner!

"The player to remember: Ali Farokhmanesh, Northern Iowa

Seriously, has another player of late taken the nation by storm without being a known name by this point in the season? Davidson's Stephen Curry had the regular season to make his mark before the Wildcats' Elite Eight run.

The shots Farokhmanesh made against UNLV and Kansas will go down in highlight reels indefinitely. The collective gasp that probably was heard in the crowd at Oklahoma City was echoed in living rooms, bars and media rooms across the country when Farokhmanesh stood unguarded and launched the decisive 3-pointer against Kansas. It might go down as the defining shot of this tournament, regardless of what occurs the next two weekends. That one 3-pointer essentially changed the entire bracket and possible national title hopes of every other team remaining."

About 2 minutes into the video Katz talks about the UNI-MSU matchup. He picks the Panthers to go on to the elite eight.

Re: Favorite Random Moment From Kansas Game

Not from the kansas game itself...but the resulting atmosphere from the KU game....and dont tell anyone I said this because Ill deny it...the best thing is seeing the unbridled optimism you guys have for your program right now and the excitement and joy it gives everyone.... it reminds me very much of '06 and how much we want to get that feeling back asap!!!

3. Lucas' airballed free throw and Coach Jake's reaction

Has anyone seen a pic or vid clip of Jake's reaction floating around out there? I forgot to DVR the game. What a priceless look.
