Well, It happened again.
It still hasnt set in that My team lost in the first round again.
But unlike last year where I was devastated that KU exited VERY early, this year Im just left shaking my head
But, this leads me into my first point.
Even though KU was upset and lost to a lesser team tonight, being a 4 seed is something I am very proud of them for. KU is my team and it kills me to say it but I thought betting against this group of fresh faces would be a good strategy at the beginning of year. And it was, luckily I quit doing it because these guys really improved and came together. Heck these kids even won the Big 12 championship!!! Who would have thought that.
So i am not depressed, in fact, I am proud of these guys because I seriously didn't even think they would make it to tourney before season started.
My second point is that even though it hurts, LOSING 1st Round was the BEST thing that could have happened to us. It will almost ensure that all the talented fesh/soph stay around next year (think nova last year) that might not have happened if they made a serious run in this tourney (think UNC last year).
Besides UNC, they are the most talented young squad in basketball and mix in some great recruits by self and these guys will be a powerhouse next year ready to make a title run. They will also be humbled too, because you know the headlines will be out in Febuary as a potential #1 seed KU lose in the first round again.
These young guys tasted defeat and tasted upset. Something the last group of seniors never tasted, because even though they were defeated they always lived up to their promise except for last year where they looked extremely talented but lathargic.
KU had a very great, succesful year and because of the upset are put in a great position to win the NC next year. So Jayhawk brothers dont even sweat it, it was the best thing that could have happened to us. Congratulate our Jayhawks on a very good, rewarding season.
