Rust, Link?

Your delusions are incredible. Really, they are. He **could** end up in Ames (and I hope he does actually) but he isn't a lock in the slightest at this point. If Selden declared, there's no reason to think KU wouldn't be tied in that race.

Welcome back BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If we were to lose Embiid -- snagging Myles Turner would be amazing.

Look who decided to show up after 3 straight losses.

BOOOOOOO?

I'm a bit tired of the BOOOOO myself.

Chill guys. Rusty talked shit and he took his medicine. His self imposed week long ban from this thread was the right thing to do.

Mistake was made when going into Realignment thread and talking shit on KU.

For that he must still be punished.

Can someone send this to Kim English? I'm not sure if they have the internet wherever that scrub is playing basketball.

Sure prison flopper, We are a bit tired of you defending Marcus Smart as well....

If you just understood the rules of basketball....

I've always thought of him as a UNC guy.

Ben having a terrible rookie year. 36% FG, 35% 3FG, 7.7 per. Negative A/T at 37-41

Someone new for you to hate.

If they aren't a superstar their first year, they will never be any good.

PB is usually spot on for eyeing talent too.

Perry ellis is the worst basketball player of all time. /Prison flopper

Going back watching the KU/OSU game and wow, Doug Gottlieb is so unprofessional. Lol his bias is so hilarious. You're not supposed to show your allegiance. RIP journalism.

Not true. 2nd worst player of Bill Self era, and that was offensively. So close but not entirely accurate.

Kaun is without question Selfs worst player ever.

LMAO

There are two distinct eras of Self: Roy's players and his. It's basically the difference between 75% winning and 88%. What he's done with his own recruits is just hard to believe

Never go full CoMo.

So are we starting a game thread for tonight?

I will do it.

:thumb:

ISU and K-State playing a pretty good game right now.

ISU 59
KSU 53

About 9 minutes to go in the second half. K-State was down 15 at halftime.

Iowa State is such a bunch of three chucking pussies. Soft as butter inside.

ISU doesn't guard.

They're a 3 pass guarding team.

Yep. Never gonna be elite with their style of play

ROFL

Good stuff.

^^^^ The season flashed before my eyes on that one. From that moment on I just wanted the game to be over.

I know it. Although I will say that it wouldn't have been a huge deal. I hyperextended my knee around Thanksgiving. Some big dude just landed right on my knee while playing hoops. I was only out for a couple of weeks. Now if a guy my age can do that then I would assume Embid could have only been out a game or two at most.

He's fine. Although it may have cemented him leaving for the NBA.

He played well after he came back. As long as it didn't swell up as big as a house, he'll be OK.

KU up to #6. We're #1 in RPI. Seems crazy a team with 4 losses be ahead of Arizona, or Cuse. Just shows how impressive our resume really is.

We've lost to #3, #5 and #9.

With losses to RPI #4, #5, #18, and #22

Is that #6 ranking AP?

Kansas is the new odds on favorite to win the NCAA Championship. 9-2

They were the favorite last week at 4-1 as well.

Yes. I don't really pay much attention the the Coaches poll, but we're at #7 there.

Header updated. Sorry for the delay.

Okie Lite at OU tonight. Big game.

I felt that way even before it started. TCU is just such an awful basketball team.

Still hoping for OU in this one even though they're currently in 2nd.

Same here. We already beat OU on the road and I'm not saying they'll be easy to beat at home, just saying OSU will be harder to beat on the road.

I am. They'll be easy to beat at home. There. I said it.

If we win both games this week I wonder how hard it'll be to keep Wichita State ahead of us in the polls?

It will be impossible. And they can whine about it all they want. Frankly, they should have never even cracked the top ten.

****ing play somebody. Then we'll talk.

Agreed. It's ridiculous.

IMO the best conferences are in this order...

Big 12
Big 10
ACC
PAC-12

They were a final four team last year and are currently undefeated.

LMAO

Of course they belong in the top ten, weak schedule aside.

No, they don't.

Top 10....yes. Top 5.....no.

I don't like rankings based on last year or history. I feel like the Big10 is so overrated and they are highly ranked because it's hard to lose when you play such easy schedules.

MSU is the only team I think deserves to be highly ranked.

My beginning of the year guess for NC game was MSU and KU.

WSU is better than last year's final four team.

They're most definitely at worst a top 7-8 team.

Iowa State was a blown call against Ohio State away from the final four too. That doesn't mean they were a top 5 team last year.

Then they should try playing somebody and prove it. Sorry, you don't get credit for being undefeated when you haven't played anyone.

Forte. Gonna be more than a handful in stillwater.

God help me, I just love the kid.

There is no help for you. He is a faton/page clone and has everything you cant stand. Hes the new jayhawk killa.

Definitely. But they were a remarkably different team in the NCAA tournament than even the mvc tournament. They truly did catch fire. There are going to be a lot of upset fans if they don't make it very far. From the ones I talk to they're not at all accustomed to the randomness of the tournament and catching bad games/hot teams, etc.

They are remarkably better but they had an extraordinarily favorable lineup in the tourney last year. I hope we meet (beat) them in the ff.

He's not near as annoying as that ankle biting troll Kenton Paige.

Looking good for OU and therefore KU by association.

As for WSU, I can't say I care too much where they're ranked. They look pretty good, but there's no way to know for sure on that schedule.

Keiton Page was definitely the most annoying white 3ball chucker of all time.

If Oklahoma wins tonight, KU will have a 3-game lead over everyone in Big 12 — except two teams that still have to play at Allen Fieldhouse.

Smart is still a flopper. No matter how hard prison flopper defends him.

Don't think anybody would deny that he's a flopper. Great player, though.

We hearing "smarts a flopper" chant?

Forte's parents played for KU. The wind blows just slightly differently, and he's a jayhawk.

Best friends with Marcus Smart, IIRC. Packaged deal, right?

I get it, it's just... the way I see it, last year doesn't count. It's not who you lost to nearly as much as who you beat, and they haven't beat anyone. It was a pussy schedule and they'll be an undefeated 3 seed.

He has Durant range and accuracy.

Nash got hosed on that foul. I hate Nash, but he got hosed. Meanwhile Smart makes a terrible decision and jacks up a guarded pullup 3 early in the clock.

Wheels coming off for the Cowbitches. Shit the bed PISTOLS FIRING!

Spangler getting in foul trouble against KU was a pretty big deal in that game. He's a monster on the boards (although we didn't miss too many shots that night).

So what are the B12 Standings now...?

I love seeing Doug Gottlieb's tears all over twitter. He's such a bitch.
