I know last night sucked. I turned it off at halftime and went to bed.

But let’s try to remember, Jaland Lowe and Jayden Quaintance were both unavailable and Kam Williams was severely limited by injury. Let’s not lose all hope.
Except we had everyone available and our old team lost to a younger more talented team

If you're a glass half full type, you could make the case that the 2018-19 team lost this same game by 30 and went on to the Elite Eight.
They were full of frosh. And their coach could actually coach a bit of defense and toughness.

That Duke team was also LOADED with NBA talent and got to the E8. I’m not sure this KU team is that. And they were without their PG. And still laughed us, literally, out of the arena.

That team lost their second real game too. That neutral court game vs Myles Powell and Seton Hall who wasn’t particularly good that year either.
