UK has missed about 3/4 of their FT’s in OT

And it is a final … Peacocks beat the Wildcats 85-79. SP didn’t miss a FT in OT and UK missed a bunch of them.

There have been some truly great games today. Iowa Richmond was kinduva stinker but most of the rest have been great. Seems like a bad year to be a high seed though. Beauty of it is most of the talking heads have totally forgotten about Iowa by now.

Could very well happen...
Definitely could although the remaining B10 teams mostly have pretty good draws. Iowa won the B10 for a good reason - were the best at the end. Turns out that may not have been as great an achievement as we originally thought.

OK, another whack on the dead horse.

ESPN's Myron Medcalf said today, "The Hawkeyes don't consistently guard anyone..." There's your story.
I think Fran is a very good coach in many ways but he can't coach defense to save his life nor can any of his assistants apparently. Hawk fans have been complaining about this for years. "We don't need no stinkin' defense. We'll just outscore 'em." Doesn't always work.

In the B10 tournament Hawks played some tremendous defense and we were beginning to think they had turned the corner. Then Richmond. Oh well.

I say they put numbers in a hat and each coach picks a number for their bracket...
