~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Not a day early or 2 days , so somebody has something to bitch about.

Another turnaround Big Monday vs a quality opponent on the road.

Sorry Turg, we need this one to have a chance at running the table. Should be a tough game on the road, but with aTm you never know. At times they look good and other times weak. They are a strange team to figure out for some reason.

Speak up boys. Beak em Hawks !

Time to Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU

You don't know that.

Gerry McNamara going off in the first half had more effect to that game than the last shot being blocked. And KU choking from the FT line.

Please don't compare college refs to NBA refs. Not even close.

I'm probably setting myself up for disappoinment, but I really don't see any reason we shouldn't win the title this year. It's kind of a watered down year IMO for college basketball and our 2008 team would beat this team, but I totally expect us to win it this year. Color me unimpressed with UK, Cuse, etc.

This team has to shoot better and more consistantly if they want to win in March.

The chances of winning the NC for any team are very low. You can't, realistically, EXPECT to win the NC, I don't care how good you are.

IF ....... we actually start playing up to our potential come tourney time.

so far we aren't .... we are just dragging the game down into the mud and out slopping people. I understand that Self likes to play that way but we still are even close to our potential yet.

I think UK spanks our ass right now tbh

It's not watered down. You are just allowing ESPN to tell you that because UNC sucks. The teams are just as good as ever. Just because UNC is down, doesn't mean there aren't good teams out there.

Well, you're 7 years behind in hating Self, and only 2 months behind with this thought... quite an improvement.

wow ... you really think so?

i think Wall would be too quick for Collins which would break down our defense and exposed us with our rotation/help defense.

btw - think Wall is what Tyshawn Taylor could be if he wasn't such a dumbass.

i think Cousins would get Aldrich into foul trouble in about 10 minutes which would kill our rebounding and main defensive presence.

Self would be forced to play zone and/or the twins alot.

when we couldn't generate offense from our defense our players would get nervous which would kill our outside shooting.

it would be a ugly,ugly game which we had to try and win through sheer blood and guts.

btw - have watched 4(not complete) UK games

[Bearcat]

Seriously though, UK's had its share of close games and bail outs from Wall... if people think KU isn't playing to their potential or thinks they could have 3 or 4 losses, well UK could have 5 or 6 losses by now.
