Rumor is PJ Washington is done. Without him, UK is a completely different animal.

I think they will struggle vs Houston

Playing UNC



This is scary. UNC is easily the best rebounding team in the country. They are also deep, play fast and solid at limiting TOs.

I want Okeke to come back and be an elite, 45% volume 3 shooter


Then we can exclusively refer to him as

"Chuma O-Three-ke"

I think he could be a legit lottery type player if he comes back.

The deeper we go the higher the odds that some team is willing to take a flyer on him let in the 1st round. I’d have to believe his name is being spoken by every scout in the league at the moment

Lots of articles lately are coming out about how Okeke doesn't view himself as a star right now

I could see someone like that being receptive to an argument that "you can still significantly improve with another year"


Counterpoint though, Chuma going lotto would be a massive boost to recruiting

Pearl straight up said in the presser Auburn is a better team and the better team won


I mean, he was respectful of Kansas and the program, but it's so weird to hear about Auburn

Gonna be honest, I don’t love our chances against them. They play a similar pace but with more talented kids and with a PF that can eat you up around the rim. We aren’t going to shock them with our speed like we did Kansas.

Yeah. I’m not liking our chances against UNC but you never know. I didn’t like our chances of beating Tennessee the consecutive time either.

Since Auburn got throttled by Kentucky on Feb. 23, the Tigers have won 10 games in a row. During that stretch, they've scored 1.18 points per possession and hit 12.2 3s per game. Both of those would rank in the top-three nationally over the course of a full season.

Watch unc lose today and UK before we would play them. That would mean the red sea is parting for Pearl. Itd be a great meme.

They do say you live and die by the 3. We will see how that goes Friday.

You can make an argument from this point forward about any team we would play that we will struggle. At the end of the day we simply need to play well. The PG for UNC worries me against Harper...he is big and athletic.

Hit our 3's, rebound and play with pace...we will have a shot. Also, UW is an interesting match up for UNC.

Yes. But we did go cold beyond the arch the last 12 min but we made a few good shots and good defense to finish out. Hopefully against unc we start just as hot.

But. Those 3s...
Check out @marchmadness’s Tweet: LINK



And how about the Harper dunk??

Would be great to continue play like that, however Kansas was among the worst in the country in perimeter defense.

Auburn made Dedric Lawson cry on national television. Feel bad for tbe guy.
