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

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

I didnt think they could keep it going all game... They were on fire the firs half.... I guess that is why they play the other half huh?

8/32 is horrid... KU's defense was the reason for the win... Come tourney time, this will be crucial.

Agreed. Defense wins championships.

Self told them to get tough on D, that will win the game. To be honest, I think it was more of poor shot selection by aTm than "great" or tough D.

It was a combination. Whenever they tried to drive to the basket or throw to one of their bigs in the last 5 minutes, they ran into Aldrich. It forced them to take some long, contested jumpers. Pretty much the same script as most KU games.

They had a stretch of 4 or 5 possessions in a row where they were one and done late in the game.. Even Coach Knight mentioned that they are taking to many quick 3's with no rebounds....

I feel much more confident under Self that our boys can handle adversity come tourney time.

If Roy's team had an off shooting night, they were done... you could just about predict a loss within the first 10 minutes of a game. I'd get bad feelings early in games, and they usually ended badly.

Not with Self though... they can be shooting like crap, but they'll at least play enough defense to stay in the game. At worst, instead of 35 minutes of "oh sh*t, they're going to lose this, aren't they?" it's 35 minutes of calm and 5 minutes of

(well, with the occasional loss

).

I love these Big Monday KU games. But it does suck to have to wait 5 days for the next one. CU at Allen Fieldhouse on Saturday should be fun. I don't anticipate another OT game.

True, but good D can often force poor shot selection because the good shots aren't open.

No way. Collins averaged 3 more minutes a game last year and picked up steam towards the end of the year. His shooting problems are beginning to worry me though, but if anybody is struggling, he's the person I'd want to pick. I know he'll pick it up when we need it come tournament time. Always does.

KU the worst 30-1 team ever!11111

Sure-Oz · 02-15-2010, 11:39 PM

I think texas a&m ties this game or goes to OT if they didnt do like 8 sloppy alley oop attempts
