The Kansas Jayhawks and Samford Bulldogs are playing their Round of 64 matchup in the NCAA Tournament right now. KU is off to a hot start and adjusting to "Bucky Ball" well.

If you are unaware of Samford's play style, they are coached by Bucky McMillan. He implements a run-and-gun offense in which his team shoots a lot of 3-pointers, and they hit them at a high clip. They shoot 39.3% from beyond the arc, the sixth-highest percentage in Division I on the year.

Samford was very successful in McMillan's fourth year as head coach, going 29-5 and winning the Southern Conference. Fans on X (formerly Twitter) are particularly intrigued with the peculiar style that the Bulldogs run. Here are some of the best reactions.
