Kinda speaks volumes about your consistent ability to keep the 5th place seat so warm.

Not surprising. There are only a handful of major conference schools that consider themselves basketball schools, and all of them have had more success in the modern era than Kansas.

Duke
UNC
Kentucky
UCONN

Indiana is arguable, I suppose. They have three titles since 1975, though.

Since 1954 KU has the same number of championships as the University of Florida and the University of San Francisco. They have one more than basketball powerhouses LaSalle and UTEP. They are a great program no doubt, but when I think elite I expect to see more NCAA championships. They have three in the past 74 years. If they fail to win it all this year that equates to one every 25 years on average. Still better than Mizzou without a doubt, but not "elite".

Nobody at Mizzou even gives a shit about basketball until football season ends...but here we are trucking UCLA on CBS in front of the entire country (while Kansas couldn't even draw a 2 locally for whichever team they lost to that day).

Are you going to grab tickets to the game in KC? There are plenty still available below face value, so you might as well. I don't know how the atmosphere will be, but it's great every time I see Mizzou play. The place is always rocking.

They are an elite basketball program. I'll give them that. They just aren't Duke, UCLA, Kentucky, UCONN, etc. where they can point to all of their titles to deflect from their football ineptitude.

They were NCAA tournament champions back when that tournament didn't matter, they were called Oklahoma A&M, and were still in the Missouri Valley conference playing while the country was fighting WWII...but, yeah...that's a great selling point for your conference.

Hey guys...the second best basketball program in our conference won the second best postseason basketball tournament 7 decades ago. Validate us as a conference.

Hooray

MU fans are just bitter that they couldn't back door their way into the NC game. They tried to perpetrate one of the greatest frauds in college sports history this year and were (rightfully) denied. And they're mad they were exposed.

Fred Hoiberg will bring at least one National Championship to Ames. At least.

NIT?

This is awesome. When the discussion is about football, Kansas fans want to talk basketball. Now that Wilt Wiggins and company have been exposed, and Mizzou basketball is 9-0, the conversation turns to talking shit on Mizzou football...the Mizzou football team that is 11-2, SEC East champions, and ranked in the top 10.

Football
Mizzou: 11-2
Kansas: 3-9

Basketball
Mizzou: 9-0
Kansas 6-3

Mizzou is running full steam ahead in all sports and having success in the best conference in the country, and CBS devoted seven straight hours of national programming on one of the biggest sports Saturdays of the year to wall to wall Mizzou coverage.

Kansas, on the other hand, has the same dumpster fire of a football program we've come to expect, their conference is held together with bailing wire and duct tape, and their beloved basketball team is simply mediocre and struggling to sell tickets in Kansas City. Even their local television ratings are suffering.


Have fun playing with your new friends from West Virginia and Fort Worth.

what does sagarin think about mizzou?

Says they're 14th best team in the nation, about a +2 dog vs Okie Light. Would be hard pressed to find anyone who'd disagree obv.

If we have a down year and have to go to the NIT, yeah we'd probably win that too.

These schools are beyond elite. They are a different category.
