God. Now everyone is gonna slurp on Craft's dick, forgetting that CRAFT CHOKING IS THE ENTIRE REASON THAT ISU CAME BACK TO TIE THE GAME IN THE FIRST PLACE.

 

I am so mad right now, Craft is f'ing awful

 

This. Minus the last part. He's actually pretty good IMO.

No, he's good at one thing, and that's ball defense. Offensively he's a huge liability.

That's a bit of an overstatement. He shot 43% from the floor this year which is pretty decent for a guard. Nearly 10 ppg and 5 apg is pretty decent for a college player.

He shot 29% from 3. That is awful.

I can't decide if it would help or hurt me more having Indiana lose. I've got them dropping to Butler in the Elite Eight, but I'm guessing most have them going further..

Yes, he is not a good three point shooter - although he has shot 34% for his career. Simply being a bad three point shooter does not make you a huge offensive liability.

It was pretty obvious that Craft is best off of the drive. Even his free throws looked terrible. Bad hitch in his shot. But he's a good ball handler and good at getting to the rack.

[Mavric]

Under four timeout - Indiana better go now.

Nice work by Temple to leave Oladipo wide open.

B1G already with four teams in the Sweet 16 - one in each region. Chance for two more.

 

The Big East has three, the maligned Pac-12 has two, and the Valley has one.

 

The ACC could make a run the rest of the day.

I believe it will be Carolina, Florida, SDSU,Miss, Miami(FL) and Dook joining them.

I'd tend to agree except for Carolina. Kansas will have to play a lot better than they did the other night but Carolina has been inconsistent this year. Not sure how Kansas got to where they are without much outside shooting and questionable point guard play but I think their defense will hold Carolina down.

[Mavric]

For someone who has a noticeable size advantage in both games, Withey misses a lot of chip shots.

 

Kansas starts 1-13 from the floor.

[Mavric]

North Carolina shoots 26% from the floor and leads by 9 at the half.

 

If Kansas had average point guard play they would be almost unstoppable.

[Mavric]

The first 22 minutes of KU/UNC is the worst-played college game I've seen in I don't know how long.

[Mavric]

Kansas on a 21-5 run

Damn good breakdown of just how awful the Craft charge call was, from USA Today:
