Kansas' Season is Over

by rockchalk on Mar 27, 2009 11:27 PM CDT in Kansas Jayhawk Basketball

No hardcore thoughts, here. We have months and months for analysis and double-taking and all of that.

For now, it's time to commiserate. We all knew it was going to end eventually. There were moments when I thought just maybe, but it wasn't going to happen.

We all knew the season was ending with a big, fat L. Sure, it would have been awesome for that loss to come on Sunday, or maybe even in Detroit. That would have been really cool.

But in the end, it would all end in the same place. With this season being an incredibly rousing success and with an eye on next year.

Sure, we definitely could have won this game. We should have won it. It hurts, that we lost it. But, in the end, no bigs.

This season has been fun as hell. Quite possibly my favorite Kansas basketball season of my entire life. Sure, that seems ridiculous to say, but damn was it fun to watch this team grow. Just incredible stuff. I cannot wait for next year.

So, talk about whatever. Talk about the season, the game, the Elite Eight, whatever. More insight and commentary to come, but for now just have at it.

I'm still cheering for Mizzou...

but I’m cheering for Oklahoma more. I talked to my brother during half time. He asked me what I liked so far and I told him that I liked the fact that we were playing our game. We were spreading the ball around and when we encountered adversity we didn’t rattle easily.

That all went to pot in the second half. Cole continued to be unable to finish near the rim, TyTay look absolutely lost, the Morris Twins disappeared, Morningstar turned over everything he touched, and Collins ended up getting pwnd in the last minute of the game.

The team in the 1st half just disappeared. We started to think. We realized that we had a lead and we played like it. We stopped being aggressive and forcing the issue.

Next year....

Is it possible to have both Aldrich and Whithey starting? That would be insane

Fuck.

This hurts a lot more a few hours later.

I'm sorry...

…but I cannot root for Mizzou. Every fiber of my being is hoping UConn just destroys them. Does that make me a poor sport? Perhaps. But dammit, it’s Mizzou, and I’m pretty sure the universe will cease to exist if they make it to the Final Four. OU making it I can deal with, but not the Tiggers.

Also, the text I sent to my MSU friend right after the game: “You better fucking win the whole damn thing.”
