I'm tired of the "last year" crap, but I'm also tired of ignorant KU "fans" coming on here to flame.
Some good quotes from our coach for you guys...TRUST me, Jayhawk fans that have ANY BB IQ are NOT looking past you guys! But, please, quit with the comments about last year! ONLY ONE player on this team saw ANY real minutes in that game and that was Moody who now owns a large part of the end of the bench...and the person who quipped that last years team was better than this years is smoking something other than tobacco! Last years team has ONE player on a current NBA roster...This year we have FIVE the NBA are already drooling over...We played NO defense last year ( especially in the post ) and had horrible flow on offense...
ON to HCBS's comments about Bradley ( are you still called the Braves? ):
"I know who's in our bracket. I could really care less ( about the other teams ). I'm concerned about Bradley, and hopefully if we play well enough we'll play another game. It's a two-game tournament, that's how we're looking at it."
On Bradley's inside play:
"(Patrick) O'Bryant may be bigger than LaMarcus Aldridge. He's a big guy. He's agile, and he can move. He's also an excellent shot blocker and has good timing. He's definitely a very good NBA prospect. They do have size. They also can create some mismatch problems because they can play (Marcellus) Sommerville anywhere. He's a great scorer. He's a great shooter, and he can also play on the block. They can play big or not so big. That's a concern, but their perimeter defense is something that they're doing as well as anything right now. They're really getting after it."
On Bradley's layoff:
"They played really well in their tournament, and I'm sure they were sitting on the edge of their seats all week. They deserved what they got. They deserved to get in, no question. They could have been a better seed in my opinion. I don't know if their layoff helps or hurts. I bet there's a lot of energy in Peoria right now. I imagine those players are on cloud nine right now."
On Bradley's perimeter play:
"I think there are some similarities. We tried to guard in a similar fashion. They remind me a lot of the Oklahoma State on the perimeter defensively, and we all know they gave us some problems."
