ChiefsPlanet - KU **** OFFICIAL 2013-2014 Kansas Basketball Repository Thread, Part 2 ****

I don't think 10 days is going to be enough to get healthy to be honest but even if it is, I don't think that Tech game is an automatic victory without Embid. I could absolutely see us losing to them without him. Heck, OSU has a really good team and lost down there.

It's naive to think we're just going to waltz down there and come out with a W without one of our best players. Winning on the road in the Big 12 is hard and without Embid it's going to be even more difficult. Tubby is a great coach, and if he knows he can gameplan without Embid in the game, he's going to come up with a good plan that is going to give us fits.

K-State very rarely beats KU in basketball. I pretty much expected it.

Yes, Tech could definitely beat us at their house. They've been competitive all year there. Everyone will need to be on their game to win that one, especially with no defensive rim presence.

This weekend vs. TCU, though? I think we'll manage.

ku stormed the fb field and tore down the goal posts against K-State in 2004. That was against a K-State team that finished 4-7.

Every football win for KU is worthy of that, though. They're so rare.

Yup.

That is why people are discussing basketball.

Kind of like a K-State win against KU in basketball.

That's the analogy I was going for, yep. :)

Marc Gasol missed about 2 months with a knee sprain earlier this NBA season and he still isn't quite back to himself yet. And I would not be surprised if he wasn't until next season (although I think that was more serious that Embiid's situation).

I would want to assume that Embiid's injury isn't nearly that serious, considering he started the 5 games after it happened.
