I bet they stumble fall before that.

Well...this is embarrassing ...

Do you think last year's team was better than the 2010 team (Sherron Collins, Morris Twins, Aldrich and Henry)?

I think 2010 was better team overall with a deep bench.

I never felt better about our chances of getting a national championship than I did with that 2010 team. I never take KU winning for granted and I never say stupid shit that CoMo, Vanilla Thunder and BWillie like to say, but man... in 2010 I was sure thinking like that to myself. That was such a good, good team.

Well, as you recall, they lost in the 2nd round. So using the same logic, this team could be better than last years team without your stupid condition of getting to the EE. Agreed?

They were incredible. Beat teams down at home all year and went on the road and got huge wins against great teams in KSU and Baylor. If that Iranian guy didn't hit that shot, I think they end up winning at all. And I'm rarely that confident about anybody's chances in that crapshoot tournament, but they had a good shot.

[CoMoChief]

Well they lost because of poor guard play and horrible perimeter defense.

Some OkieSt turd went off today....and that was the difference in the game. Credit to them, for some ****ing stupid reason Self couldn't plan anything that would contain him.

They needed this though.....they needed to lose AT HOME where it hurts the most because they're not supposed to lose at home. They've been playing like absolute dogshit for the past month or so, but they've been able to get by, wake up the last few minutes of the game to pull out the win. Didn't happen today and IMO that's a good thing, even though they lost. Rather have it be now and at home than in March against someone that has no business being on the same court w/ them.

Kansas' poor PG play and perimeter defense is a MAJOR problem. Get that shit fixed Billy Boy

[Fairplay]

Of the current ranked 25 college teams KU has beaten Ohio State (11) Mich. State (13) and K-State (18).
Doesn't seem like they have played against real competition much IMO.

Or do you disagree with that?

I don't understand what any of this has to do with your original statement. Please quit saying stupid things. Or don't. Whatever.

[Mr. Laz]

EJ is 12 of 47 in his last 4 games

with 3.8 turnovers per game

The whole entire bracket just fell apart that year.

[CJizzles]

Who is this Fairplay turd?

[DJay23]

The gameplan on Okie State is that they don't shoot 3's that much, they rely on their athleticism to try to get to the rim. So accordingly KU was going under screens where Brown surprisingly was stopping to shoot...and hit at an incredible rate. It was a gamble by Okie State that paid off for them. You'll notice that Brown had 20 in the first half and only 8 in the second half, so Self did adjust and we got back out front, but it's like they just quit after being in the lead. It was pretty sad to watch. Hopefully a fire gets lit.

Doesn't mean anything come tournament time. Florida in 07 only beat like one top 25 team that year and they won the title. All about matchups and who's hot.
