Is this it for KU...........
KU currently has one of the longest streaks of consecutive NCAA tourney appearances. There RPI is currently 139. A loss to KY leaves them with no quality nonconference wins.
My thinling is KU must win today or they must win the Big XII tourney to keep their tourney streak alive. Even win a win the combination of KU's RPI and the RPIs of other BIG XII schools may not allow KU to get their RPI to where it needs to be to get an at-large bid. |

Kentucky is not that good... I think a light went on for the freshmen vs Yale... they seemed to finally click, albeit, Yale isnt necessarily a quality opponent...
Chalmers kicked it in, Robinson has emerged as a true point... I think KU wins handily. |

NOT a must win by any means. KU could still come in the top 3 in the big 12, get 20 wins. All that being said I think we win by 10points or less today against an overrated Ky. team.

What makes it worse, he recruited them. I think Self will do great things at KU, but not this year. He can't even figure out who should be getting minutes, and who shouldn't. |

Maybe. As for figuring out who gets the minutes...when you have that many young players who were recruited based on POTENTIAL and who are almost all playing at the same level (none really OUTstanding overall), it takes time to figure out what the best 5 are and which groups of guys play the best together. Right now I think that Kaun, Rush, Robinson, WRIGHT, Chalmers would be my starting five. Then you can relieve the guards with Hawkins/Vinson and you can bring in Giles for either Kaun or Wright. Downs is at the bottom of the list of freshman because of his bad practice habits. Case will keep getting more minutes if he keeps shooting the ball like has of late. My prediction is that Rush will be KEY in the KY game and that Case will hit some huge 3's to help us out.

I haven't been able to watch much this season, but that said, I did see a difference today against Kentucky. Yes, there were a few times KU tried forcing the hi-lo, but it wasn't the turnover-fest I've seen before. Sure, Kentucky isn't that good, but it's not like they were putting together complete games against the bad teams. They've been shooting ~50% this season (while still leading the nation in fg% against), which has to be better than where they were last year. On another note.... I've never liked Patrick Sparks, so I found it funny ESPN mentioned multiple times how the guy is useless if he's not hitting threes

not a must win .... but they must improve.
so far i haven't seen any indications that Bill Self could coach his way out of a wet paper bag. it they improve, they make the tourney .... if they don't, nothing will get them into a tourney even a win today against kentucky.

Tubby is in danger of getting fired. He survived because of Chuck Hayes for a extra four years but right now his lack of recruiting is showing.
