4-18 from beyond the arc.
Everyone thought we'd live and die by the three. Shit, I thought we'd have to shoot "lights out" (again) to knock-off the tournament's top seed. Instead, we were cold from deep. Given how hot we've been, we were bound to come back to earth at some point; no way we could continue shooting at such a high level. Instead of "dying by the three", we go out there and win with good ole fashion defense.. smarts... toughness.. etc.
Sure, beating Iowa and Miami with a CBB version of the Golden State Warriors was incredible and extremely entertaining. But beating the top-seeded Jayhawks despite an overdue cold-streak from three is so much more impressive and satisfying. Kudos to Kansas' defense; very few easy shots. Had a big part to do with the 4-22, yet we found other ways to win.
It has to be a huge confidence booster (yea, like these guys need it).
Now it's time for Buddy Hield's long overdue cold streak.
