It's funny, we all get worried about teams that jack up 3's, but in KU's 5 losses, none of them have been to teams that do that. I mean I know there were some pretty dramatic things that had to happen to win 2 of the 3 ISU games, but Belmont was supposed to give us trouble, Richmond, and it seems like there was another non con who was supposed to push KU.
As for VCU, it's a different year. If we play them, it will be after at least 4 days of preparation and rest. I trust Self to game plan for that. And that KU team in 2011 was cocky enough to take VCU lightly. I don't think this one would. I'm actually not as worried about the path as I usually am. I'd rather this KU group be challenged by tough matchups on paper, it seems like that's when they step up and focus and play their best.
