I'm very, very excited about Kansas Basketball

[hypersensitiveZO6]

We've got one of the most talented teams we've ever had in KU history IMO.

It's going to fun this year.

Let me be the first to say....

Rooooooooooocck Chaaaaalk Jaaaaayyyhaaaaawk KU!




Not that pre-season polls mean anything, but Kansas is sitting at No. 3 in nation



Anyone else excited?

I just heard on the radio down there that KU will be playing Florida in Las Vegas in a few weeks. That should be a hell of a game. UF won it all last year, but most of the Gator fans down here don't even know that UF even has a basketball program. All they care about is football.

That 88 team wasn't that talented to be honest. Manning carried that team. There are many KU teams that would have whooped that team's ass by 20. Thats like what I said about the tourney. Many times the best team doesn't win it all. One team may get hot and just ride that wave through the tourney. Combine that with tons of talent these days across the country, it is very hard to win it all even if you have 4-5 All Americans. That KU 96-97 team that lost 2 games all season was without a doubt the most talented team in the country, but lost to a team with a hot hand. I think it was Arizona, I could be wrong. All Im saying is that it is very hard to win it all these days especially with the 64 teams. That's why I think many of the UCLA teams of the 60-70's would get their asses kicked now and wouldn't be as good.

GOD I HATE MIKE BIBBY AND MILES SIMON!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to school with his dad... Tim could light it up from the 3 point line in high school.. Him and this other kid -- Drew Newhart could make a shot from well beyond the 3 point line...

Tim just wanted to leave Creighton to get closer to home... He made a good choice going to UMKC...

Right, cause no one picked UConn to win it all in 2004. Oh wait.

Well, even that was a long time ago....what? That was 2 years ago?

I agree, he's got 2 more yrs to get them in the dance, but they lose Day, Spears, and I believe Ayuba after this yr. They are picked #2 in the conference, with Oral Roberts #1, and they(Oral Roberts) are REAL tough.

Oral Roberts is REAL tough? I live in Tulsa and I didn't know that.

Not by any means.

This team will gell extremely well, also. Last year we seemed to play as team, not just individual superstars, like some teams with our level of talent have been.

To add, our only real weakness last year was turnovers. I thinked we've got the best freshman PG in the league in Sherron Collins. Russell Robinson should be improved to top it all off.

Well, relatively speaking. They are a tough team in a small conference, but they are still D1. They have some players on their team that would probably make some Big 12 squads. Playing in the MidCon, you have to win your conference tourney to advance to the big dance, and most "experts" are picking ORU 1st, and UMKC 2nd. They play good ball, very athletic team, and their fans travel well(to KC at least).
