As a teenager, Karl-Anthony Towns did something kind for the mother of a United States Marine who was killed in Afghanistan. Kathleen Reinhard, Knicks fan, never forgot. Fourteen years later, she remains KAT's friend and biggest fan.

@dlee4three Do you think his below avg ftr is any indication of a hesitancy to contact around the rim? Leading to a potentially tougher time finishing in the pros (when heβs not dunking)?
Either way, id still veryyy comfortably take him t10 as his other skills are pretty gamebreaking
Point differentials for each final four team in each of their games this March Madness!
Incredible comeback by UConn vs Duke in the Elite 8.

Brad Underwood is getting pretty close to backing up this statement from the summer.
They play in the Final Four on Saturday and, per KenPom, shoot 49.8% of the FGAβs from 3.
Iowa State beat Pepperdine on this date in 1944 to advance to the final four! Roy Wehde led the way with 12 points.
Hereβs the boxscore and a page from the Ames Daily Tribune in 1944 detailing the game (upper left).

Also please read this touching profile on Cyclone legend, Roy Wehde. A pillar of a man and a pillar of Iowa State.

Iowa St turned over Kentucky on 29% of their possessions (Kentucky's highest of the year) and limited them to an 18.5% OREB% (Kentucky's 2nd lowest of the year).
More of the same will be needed against Tennessee in the S16 - a team that leads the nation in OREB%
Iowa St had 19 more True Shooting Attempts than Kentucky in their R32 matchup, the 5th largest disparity vs. a quality opponent in the Otz era.
A great job tilting the possession battle in their favor - on an off shooting night, without their best player.
Iowa Stβs B12 title hopes ended with a wild sequence- 11 straight made field goals between both teams!
At one point during that sequence 5 straight threeβs were made in a row!
I was curious how that sequence stacks up against other FG βstreaksβ during their season
