LOL TT Storms the court and can't even get enough kids to do it to fill up the court. There's just a group of them in the middle.

Storm that court.

How much longer before the Baylor AD realizes what a shitty coach they have in Drew?

KU, OSU, ISU, KSU, Baylor, OU get into the dance from the Big XII this year in my opinion.

I think the problem there for Baylor is that he has won just enough, and pulls in some pretty big recruits to keep the hype up.

Agreed. Right now anyway. Lots of games to be played yet.

That and he's earned a little slack from taking the program to non-existent to relevant. Let's not forget they tried to bury a murder down there not that long ago.

Hey, we've been there and done that before, as well.

But in turn a shitty program storms the court, making them feel like they are a top program with him.

Scott Drew is the least liked Coach in the Big XII... And that's by all the other coaches. The guy will never get any favors or breaks anywhere with the bridges he's burned.

You know, he really has done a pretty incredible job turning that program around and renewing it's image. I had forgotten all about that.

They should bring this guy back. Deep thinker, plus he kept things real

Just so you guys know... Rustshack has surfaced in the Realignment thread talking shit on KU.

That ****ing place is worse than DC.

That thread is for people whose memory gets wiped out every night or for those who really like hear themselves speak (well, read what they typed), because there's just no point to arguing the same stuff over and over and... over... and... over.

Hai guyz, any new theories on why Kansas and Missouri haven't scheduled each other? No? Okay, I'll now try to convince you the team I follow is more awesome than your team!!

And possibly Texas?

there will be 7 teams from the Big XII making the tournament.

Yeah, 7 looks good, but if West Virginia gets their stuff together and wins a couple at home versus better competition, they could get to 18 wins.

West Virginia does not look good at all. :hmmm:

They looked pretty decent at home vs OKState. I think they lost, but they looked pretty salty.

Board of Regents approved the new dorms for KU. 8-1 vote. They need to get this built ASAP. Just another great recruiting tool.

K-state also got a bunch of new football upgrades approved.

The gap between KU's #1 ranked SOS (strength of schedule) and the #2 ranked SOS is the same as the gap between the #2 SOS and the #83 SOS.

Yeah, it's a Saul, PB, Bambi and collection of MUrons circle jerk. Intolerable.

I’m interested to see what percentage of KU’s games ended up being against tournament teams.

Louisiana Monroe
Duke
Iona
Towson
Wake Forest
Villanova
UTEP
Colorado
Florida
New Mexico
Georgetown
Toledo
San Diego State
Oklahoma
K-State
Iowa State
Ok State
Baylor
TCU
Iowa State
Texas
Baylor
WVU
K-State
TCU
Texas Tech
Texas
Oklahoma
Ok State
Texas Tech
WVU


Non-tournament: 13
Tournament: 18
Percentage: 58%

If Texas sneaks in, it goes up to a crazy amount – 20 tournament teams vs 11 non-tournament teams (64.5%).

UTEP Iona and Towson could be in if they win their conference.

I think Wake makes the tourney as well. They are currently #59 RPI which will increase after their games against syracuse\duke etc... They are 12-5 currently, and with a weak bottom half of the ACC, could end up with 21 wins before the ACC Tournament.

LOL....This

Nino Williams of Kansas State called their performance in Allen Fieldhouse a “fluke.” He then said that Kansas State had their “worst game of the season” while Kansas “had their best performance of the year.”

Bench scrubs giving bulletin board material for next month, that's nice.

KSU is a team that lost to terrible Northern Colorado and Charlotte this year, in addition to getting blown out by Georgetown on a neutral court. The only fluke here is how they've managed to win 13 games so far.

They still look a hell of a lot better than last year. I doubt they make the tournament, but Texas might.

Say thanks to
Oral Roberts (8-8)
Long Beach St **twice - (5-11)
Central Arkansas (4-10)
South Dakota (6-9)
Troy (7-9)
Tulane (9-8)

FWIW, Uconn @ Memphis is a decent game.

I wonder if the bottom of the league will cannibalize each other for that last couple tourney spots.

My brother said we match up well with KSU this season. I said, "We've matched up well with them for the past 30 years"

Not having Thomas Gipson REALLY hurt this team early on. They are a completely different team than the one that lost those first two games to UNC and Charlotte. Not sure we beat GT even with a healthy Gip.

K-State is def much better than they showed in AFH. and I wouldn't necessarily call Northern Colorado terrible.

K-State has no offense. They'll be lucky to make the tournament this year.

And if you can't call a shitty team from the Big Sky conference that just lost to Montana State this week terrible, I don't know who would qualify.

KSU will be 10x better once Spradling graduates unless he has like, infinite eligibility.

lol no kidding that guy is a liability out there.

it'd be one thing if he fit the "white guy guard = sharpshooter" profile but he can't shoot worth a shit during a game. He's not even quick enough really to get open.

Aaron Rodgers was in Lawrence today for some reason. Anyway, he watched KU's practice and gave some tips to JoJo on how to celebrate Marcus Smart style...

@jojo_embiid: Aaron Rodgers stopped by today to watch practice and show me how to do Backflips

Hes a KU fan who is crossing off a game at AFH on his bucket list.

Selden on Smart and Wiggins on Brown perhaps? I think Selden's strength could give Smart fits but also foul trouble. Wiggins would be chasing Smart around all day. I think Wiggins on Smart would be better because Wiggins' length. Try both?

Can't put Wiggins on smart because he will get in foul trouble.

Cobbins being out really hurts them badly. He's a nice college post player, a better version of Kevin Young. If KU takes many 3s today they're nuts.

Iowa State loses again.

Maybe we can get them to join the Missouri Valley.

They'll be really good next year.

And the following year. And the following year. Then the following year after that.

Great way to start the conference portion of the season.

Huge wins so far. Finish it off with a win Monday.

No doubt.

Heh. At the end of the Baylor game after they biffed the set play and lost the game, the announcer said (roughly) "Scott Drew called a timeout and drew up that? And now they have to go to Allen Fieldhouse. Good luck with that."

ROFL

****er probably jinxed us.

You can go ahead and just give us #10.

The race for 2nd place will be fun watch.

Saying shit like this is just asking for trouble.

Remember last year?

Yes.


Your point?

My point is that anything can happen. We lost 3 in a row (including to ****ing TCU) after a 7-0 start. KU had to get really lucky to get the share last year.

My point is that nothing is a given.

I'm not worried.

Our non-conf schedule was tougher than what our conf. is going to be...@OSU is the one that worries me the most. And there is a good chance we will drop a couple that we shouldn't...but so will everyone else.

I'm not worried.

One game at a time.

Kansas was easily the best team in the league last year in terms of any metric you look at. Then they rolled the league tourney. There wasn't really any "luck" involved. It would've been unlucky had KU not won it

Vegas now has KU as the favorite to win the national title at 4-1 odds.

Fair enough. My point was that it looked like the conference race was done when KU won the 7th game in a row. Then they dropped 3 in a row and had to depend on KSU to lose in order to get that share.

Ksuck just keeps winning.

Phog.net Smart Flop Photoshop thread.

Damn... there's some epic shit in this thread.

Link

Fixed that for you.

Anyone know what the line is for the Baylor game?

Never mind

Kansas is a 10.5 - 11 point favorites most places. Let's take care of business tomorrow night.

Yeah, Baylor is in a tail spin and AFH is not the cure for their ailment.

I fully expect Drew to make awful decisions and the Baylor team to look overwhelmed tomorrow night.

Tons of talent. No leadership.

Baylor always comes at us.

Austin actually scares me some. He's as tall as Embiid, and can play outside. We'll see how that goes. Cherry could potentially beast. Releford is not here to shut the **** out Heslip.

We should win, but it is far from a given.

Heslip and Forte are like exactly the same player, so somebody might want to stick on him tomorrow.

perimeter defense!

Is that number 1?

I don't see a team better than KU.

Yes. Michigan State and Arizona are next in line at 6-1.

I don't see Arizona doing shit. Sean Miller is awful.

Just a heads up - Cliff Alexander and his team will be playing on ESPNU at 2:30pm CST.

The Marcus flop thread is amazing... holy crap.

Here's a couple of my favorites:

What page does that thread get funny on?

OK, even I can admit that Vine is pretty funny. LMAO

KU up to #8 in the AP

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/bas...caa/men/polls/

'Nova, Florida and San Diego State just ahead of us. Interesting.

Does Wichita State have a ranked opponent on their remaining schedule?

Wichita State doesn't even play anyone in the top 50 RPI for the rest of the year that's how bad the MVC is
