March 27, 201610 yr I don't think it changed the outcome but what a pathetic foul call on Kansas late. It was the right call. Loose ball or not, you can't dive at a guys legs and take him out...
March 27, 201610 yr Bill Self is taking a beating on Twitter. It's so hard to win the NCAA Tournament. If DRose and Rodney Carney could hit a free throw Self might be the most criticized coach in college sports. Shame, he seems like an awesome guy.
March 27, 201610 yr Ellis' 50 years finally caught up to him. I sat amongst some KU faithful tonight and even they love taking jabs at Perry, maybe more than I do. He's had a solid career, but I'm sure he's looking forward to retirement and spending time with his grandchildren.
March 27, 201610 yr It was the right call. Loose ball or not, you can't dive at a guys legs and take him out... I'm with you. Seemed like a no-brainer, intentional or not.

Perry Ellis reminds me a lot of Grandville (Grandpa) Waiters of Ohio State back around 1980.

I think if he had completely shaved his head a couple years back, which is in fashion anyway, that he would actually look younger. Of course, that still doesn't change him being a 4 year senior..
March 27, 201610 yr Completely called it. Nova was never a 2 seed. They were always #1 imo. Oklahoma probably has a better argument for being a 1 seed rather than a 2 seed than what Villanova would have. They beat the Wildcats by 23 points in Philadelphia.

The jokes, for me anyway, were never about his appearance. It was about the fact that he was seemingly attending KU when Dr. Naismith got there.

March 27, 201610 yr Winning 6 games in a row sounds so easy. But in March/April, it's a monumental task. Hardest event in sports to win. Bar none. I agree 100%. Last years Kentucky team was the best talent top to bottom ever and could not do it. Las Vegas, Houston, and Georgetown had great teams that came up short. I don't know the official stat but since 2000 how many of the pre season #1 teams won it all? Florida and North Carolina come to mind but thats it.

I can't recall with certainty but I thought 2012 UK was #1 in preseason.
