The difference between kansas loss and kansas state win is that kstate players had so much confidence and never stopped attacking the basket. So successful attacking the basket it became a clinic. Kansas played conservative and never took advantage of their lack of size inside. Kansas needs a big man inside that can play defense and score. And rebound. Not a small forward. Also kstate never stopped playing ferocious defense. Even when they got behind. Kansas seemed tentative. Kstate has played tough teams in the conference their ready for a championship run. Because of their ferocious attacking the basket and tough defense. Their primed and ready and skilled and confident. Well coached. Good luck kstate represent the state of Kansas. Sorry Jayhawks maybe next year.

I can give you a few reasons..1) if they fire Cal, who would they hire? there really isnt that top level impressive HC at a smaller school they could hire away...2) UK and their fans have fallen in love with the promise that comes with a top recruiting class..no matter how disappointing a year they have, their fans can always fall back on "yeah well, we have XYZ coming in next year and they are legit"...no other coach is gonna be able to come in and duplicate how he recruits..and UK fans are gonna expect that level of recruiting every single year out of any coach they get going forward

Just like the game in 2018.. The amount of favoritism towards Kentucky for calling fouls is ridiculous. KSU got away with one zebra mishap in the very end, but overall that second half was ridiculous. Oscar Tshiebwa was going over the KSU guy's backs all game long grabbing rebounds which is a foul. Heck, Kentucky was in double bonus with 12 minutes to play. KSU didn't even hit bonus until the final 3 minutes. In 2018, KSU had 30 fouls against UK which led to them shooting 37 free throws.. And they still couldn't win. The refs this entire tournament have been absolute garbage, especially for teams that are playing blue bloods. Glad that the good guys won.
