Game blog from Elite Eight: No. 1 Kansas vs. No. 3 Oregon
-
Kansas basketball coach Bill Self often has mentioned through the years a team can have a great season without making a deep NCAA Tournament run. Tonight at Sprint Center, the top-seeded Jayhawks have a chance to make 2017 special. All KU (31-4) has to do to reach the program’s first Final Four in five seasons is top third-seeded Oregon (32-5) in Kansas City, Mo. -

So what's level of nervousness for KU fans tonight? On a scale of 1-10?
-
I think the most fun matchup to watch will be Dillon Brooks vs. Josh Jackson. Two great offensive players who will likely guard each other all night. But another important matchup will be Landen Lucas against Oregon forward Jordan Bell (6-9, 225). It'll be interesting to see how much different Lucas plays after guarding such big men against Purdue.

Wherever Stupid Michael is, he can't possibly be as scared as I am! I haven't been this worked up about a game since last year's Elite Eight appearance! -
ESPN's latest consensus is KU/Zags with Gonzaga winning it all. -
Our third game vs a four guard team (ISU) and we are 50/50.
-
I'm kinda glad UCLA is gone. No more LaVar Ball hopefully.
-
-
My granddaughter wants to know why Gonzaga has a big Amish guy.
-
Any final score predictions? I'm going with KU by ten 86-76 -
Fifteen minutes on the pre-game clock. The Oregon Duck mascot is acting as a cameraman. It's March Madness.

Small pocket of green behind Oregon bench. Otherwise 90% KU in here.

National anthem is done. Ten minutes to go in pregame.

Live look-in of Stupid Michael 2.0 (i.e., yours truly) before tipoff of KU game:

Sir Charles, in between grazing in his snack hoodie picked the Ducks. -

Let's listen in on the pep talk given in the KU locker room.

That sliver of green and yellow is pretty much it for Oregon fans in the Sprint Center.... espn.com/espn/now?nowId… http://pbs.twimg.com/media/C7zfHm1UwAAmfmB.jpg
