Let's Go Hawks!

Game tips off at 4:30 CDT on ESPN2.

This game should test us a bit, hopefully we come out strong.

I doubt you could say with a straight face that Temple has more talent than UNC or Mich St. Or that Temple will make it farther in The Tournament.

I'm not hating on KU (or any team), just trying to keep the blue and crimson glasses off.

I'm glad to see they finally showed, that they are worthy of the #1 ranking!(at least for now)They put a whole game together offensive and defensively! Great Job

Texas is not better.

I don't think any argument can be said for either team at this point. Let's wait for the home and home matchups to decide.

When did I say anything about talent? If we're talking about who has played better this year, Temple has. Both of UNC and Michigan St. have struggled mightily and aren't the big wins that their names would have you believe.

Believing that KU could beat Texas is not something a homer would say. KU is a team with enormous experience and much better talent than UT. The fact that UT even got press as a #1 team didn't make sense to me, and hopefully their struggles against this no-name team today at home end that nonsense.

They play one game against UT and it is in Austin.

Never said RPI was everything.

Though K-State is a very good team...possibly as good as Texas.

I sure as hell ain't saying it, but his "RPI" comments about Temple being better than Michigan St or UNC would lead me to believe that he is.....(unless of course he's talking out of both sides of his mouth)

You have lost your damn mind. Texas is a damn good team. We struggled against Memphis.

TX is better than KSU.

But Barnes has been known to choke when he's loaded with talent.

All RPI means is that Temple has played better against a more difficult schedule than those teams so far. It is not an indication of talent level or where the teams will end up at the end of the season.

I agree with both of those statements.

#1. Kansas is better than Texas. You don't think so?
#2. Memphis is a good team. And Kansas was a much worse team 2 months ago than they are now. You don't think so?
