I don’t think his hand has anything to do with his defense. He was two steps slow and often out of position last night vs Iowa. Brad sat him multiple times for it.

He wasn't moving his feet well like he can do, definitely seemed late reacting when Stirtz made a move. Especially noticeable when Stirtz caught the ball and stopped while facing up, almost seemed like Kylan was stuck in quicksand.

Maybe right, but not, we would we have beaten Iowa yesterday without him? I will take what we get from Boz

Not likely. There are roughly 3,000 members that are Champions or higher ($1,000+). With ticket limit of 2, that would mean 6,000 would be required to fill all of those members if they all requested seats. There are 1,327 members at All American level ($500-999).
Hard to see allotment getting anywhere close to lower-level donors. I read in past allotment is around 4,000 tickets per school (chunk for donors is smaller than this). I also put in a ticket request as an All American level donor and season ticket holder, but I know getting tickets this way is futile.
Jake 13 minutes….Dre 27…..relax
I don’t mind Jake starting. I just don’t like Dre sitting the first 4-6 minutes to start each half. But at this point I’m not gonna question the man in charge.Let’s leave the lineup decisions to the guy who’s coaching in the Final Four, shall we?

Illini fans are going to be the biggest contingent Saturday, but it would be even more drastic if Tennessee and UConn won. Duke always has a few bandwagons fill up their share of any arena anywhere, and Michigan will bring a lot (though I suspect noticeably less than the Illini). UConn travels surprisingly weak for an elite program like they have, and flights to Indy are very limited compared to bigger airports. I’m sure Tennessee would travel well, but they’re still much farther away.
I did the exact same thing. My 2005 version is bit more worn though! Also had to get a "Mirk Madness" shirt as well

Flight and game tickets are secured. I'll be there for Saturday and Monday games. See you boys and girls there!
Personally I want UConn. I think we’re just better than them and we are a different team now than when we played in December.

After wishing to play 6-4-1 UCLA in the 1984 Rose Bowl instead of 8-3 Washington, I’ve stopped rooting for our preferred next opponent. I’ll casually watch Duke and UConn then mentally prepare myself for whoever wins

Any guesses on if we’d be the first or second game? Trying to plan our bar hopping, lol. If it’s us and Duke, I could definitely see them putting it last, as the two of us would represent a lot of the butts in the seats, and they’d want the first game more full. If it’s us and UConn, I’d be less sure.
They'll likely allocate some for Krush too.
My guess is if Duke wins were the late game. Though Michigan/Arizona might be the better game regardless.
Werner said he thinks we will be first since the AZ/Michigan will be a bigger draw.
I am hearing the second game.
Don’t mean to be nosey and you don’t have to answer this but how much are you guys paying for tickets. I’m looking on seat geek and Stubhub and hoping prices come down a little this week!!!
That's going to be the late game. Two number 1 seeds. There's no doubt about that. If it's not I'll be shocked.

Correct. Part will go to players families, others to students, and the remaining for donors. Exact number breakdown, I have not seen published.
