      it's funny watching a power team start to panic. Kansas look like someone punched them in the mouth and took their pride.

      Seems like every shot for VCU is dropping, every loose ball falling their way.

        Would be a great hire for NCSU, I'd actually really like to see him there, see if he could elevate NCSU to consistently being that next best team after Duke/UNC.

            They are panicking, lots of BAD shots, playing way too aggresive on defense for only being down 14 in the 1st half.

            I'm with Dayman, until Shaka is standing on that ladder, holding a pair of tiny scissors... I don't believe they are going to win this game.

              Lets talk about the other side of the coin here, if KU manages to lose here and not reach the Final Four, is that one of the most collosal failures in tournament history?

              Your road to the final four was beating a 16, 9, 12, and 11.

              A school with the talent of KU should easily be able to accomplish this feat, that is a cake walk for a team like KU.

              Yes VCU is playing great, but we're talking about one of the all time top basketball schools and arguably the 2nd best team in the tournament this year and the highest seed they have to play to get to the final four is a 9?

                On another board I'm following the tourney on as well someone posted some tweets that are pretty funny:

                At this point, I'm half-expecting Ali Farokhmanesh to check in and hit a 25-footer.

                If somehow a zombie apocalypse descended on Lawrence, it wouldn't produce half the panic you're seeing right now on the KU bench

                  If VCU pulls this off the Selection Committee will be laughing at all their critics

                    IF VCU wins this game, this would be the greatest tournament run in history. No doubt. This is already a run of historical proportions.

                    However, KU will probably pull a rabbit out of their hat..

                      Who else thinks there will be about 300 whistles in the second half, with KU getting the large majority?

                      I really want a VCU/Buter Final 4 matchup!

                        Sounds about right. VCU will probably cool off from three and the Morris twins will start to go off.

                        But up 14 at half time? This VCU team is amazing.

                          I could see VCU being up 10 or something with 5 minutes left and choking it away.

                          Closing out a team as good as Kansas, while in the back of your mind you can't help but think about how you're 5 minutes away from the Final Four, might be too much to ask.

                            Please don't try to sit on this lead VCU, keep attacking because Kansas has an offense that will get them back in this game very quickly if you do

                              Kansas wins this game if VCU

                              1. Tries to out Kansas Kansas in the half court set... they need to keep the tempo fast.

                              2. VCU Continues to shoot NBA 3 pointers with 20+ seconds left on the shot clock.


                              Somehow they need to turn those 3 pointers into higher % shots, yet keep the tempo going.. it'll be a tough recipe.

                                and if they comeback to win today, they would play 8-seed Butler....
