Amazing, start playing aggressive good things happen.


Funny how that works.

Much better start to the half.

McLemore needs to look to attack the basket.

Welcome coach, pretty awesome commercial.

MELIKEY too!

Teams have kinda figured Young out. Need him or someone to be able to knock down a 15 footer from the top of the key.

Kevin Young, send it in big fella!

Maybe Texas Tech will actually shoot quicker now that they're down by double digits, but I doubt it. It seems their only goal is to make this game as bad to watch as possible.

Withey playing like a man now.

Tech plays straight up, they get beat by 30+! Even down 13 like right now, they will continue to keep it slow to keep the game in possible reach or not as nasty.

Then enlighten me.

The point of the post looked to be 'sometimes Self teams have to lose before they focus' etc.

well ... we already have lost.

So did the post mean that we need to lose again? Lose a conference game? Lose a game every so often?

what?

Guess it's just going to be a close game, sigh.....KU fans tickers soon to be in critical condition after Wednesdays game.

TT makes Herm Edwards wanna coach basketball.

The point is that KU, along with many other college (and even pro) teams play down to their competition, and sometimes it takes a loss to refocus the team. So, considering focus is something you can lose, regain, lose, etc; a loss against a ranked team in November is irrelevant to a discussion about playing down to conference teams in January.

We have the same discussion here every single year after a loss or when they play like crap for a few games... they're due for a loss, get a loss out of their system before the tourney, they need a loss in order to refocus.

And there's probably a little truth to it... they know they don't have to play at 100% all the time to beat some of these teams, so even though I don't think teams necessarily need to lose, it can certainly get their butts in gear.

This is not a case where the opponent is playing above their heads, we just can't put it together completely today. Nice lucky shot by Tharpe though.
