Final Four blog from The Alamodome: Kansas vs. Villanova
-
Mikal Bridges with a 3. The magic number for KU is 70. Nova is undefeated when opposing teams don't reach 70 points. -
Spellman drills a 3. Nova is so patient on offense, like Brunson not forcing a shot when he had an open lane. Timeout KU. Nova up 9-2.
-
Self screaming at Doke to get out on the shooter. Villanova takes a 9-2 lead. All five players for Villanova can shoot it.by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:01:50 AM -

KU is gonna have to actually guard the three point line to have a chance. Three wide open threes for Nova.

Jalen Brunson makes a 2. First shot attempted inside the arc for Nova.

Devonte' Graham ends KU's scoring drought with a strong layup through traffic.

Udoka cannot guard Spellman. Just a complete mismatch.

Paschall let out a scream after Nova steals an entry pass to Udoka in the post. Cats are fired up.

Better be careful here. This is looking like us vs. UNC, unfortunately we are on the other end. -

This game reminds me of KU vs UNC but we are UNC this time.

Pretty much a perfect start for Nova.
Up 16-4 at first media timeout.
Shooting 6 of 10 overall, 4 of 8 from 3. Up 5-2 on the glass. #KUbball #FinalFourby Benton Smith via twitter 4/1/2018 1:08:45 AM -
H/T @EvanRRiggs on this take, but if Azubuike isn't being force-fed inside, then KU probably can't afford to have him in the game. twitter.com/nick_schwerdt/…by Scott Chasen via twitter 4/1/2018 1:09:21 AM

Still too early to panic in my opinion. But the Jayhawks need to figure out a way to guard Omari Spellman. Might be a game better suited for Mitch Lightfoot than Udoka or De Sousa.
