*****2023 Border War Hoops and HATE Thread*****

[Chiefspants]

The 2023 Border War installment of our 5 game not a rivalry anymore series swings back to Allen Fieldhouse where already students are camping at numbers that dwarfed our game against UCONN.

KU is still finding itself this year, as usual with early Bill Self teams. Hunter Dickinson fulfills every checkmark of a classically hated Jayhawk. Arrogant, a great flop, questionable athleticism yet can be counted on to pull a double double every night. We would have been runaway title favorites in 2007, but unfortunately, it’s 2023 and today’s game needs outside shooters to go all the way, and we’ve yet to have someone consistently step up to take on that role (this would be a great game for a Furphy coming out party).

Coming to Lawrence for their renewed John Brown invitational is the Mizzou Tigers. I actually don’t know a lot about the Tigers this year. Browsing ESPN it looks like y’all lost to Assberg State but had a helluva comeback agains Minnesota and a dub against Pitt? What’s up with your team this year, Tigers fans? A lot of turnover/young players? Fill us in if you have outside shooters and athletes to swarm Dickinson in the paint and threaten KU’s 3 game winning streak.

Come in, make yourselves at home, and shit talk like it’s 2012 again.

kU fans better enjoy this time while they still have a chance to win some of these games.

Drink has already pulled ahead and lapped Leipold in football.

Once Gates gets his recruits in, basketball will start rolling. Once Toupee Bill hangs it up, it’s going to get ugly in Hoops for kU in this series.

Not to mention the enormous resource advantage MU is going to enjoy going forward being in the SEC vs the misfit 12.

I’m afraid the gap between kU and their daddy is only going to continue to widen.

Gates is an awful coach. Gimmicky shit. And can't coach defense. No coach in college bball wins shit without being able to coach defense. The best coach I can think of whos teams suck ballsack at defense every year is Iowas Fran McCaffrey. Thats about the best you can expect.

Defensive rating out of D1 teams
2024 Missouri...............85th
2023 Missouri...............180th
2022 Cleveland State....227th
2021 Cleveland State....138th
2020 Cleveland State....250th

Living in the future is fun, it can be whatever you want it to be..

Living in the present is also fun... for some, I guess.

Kind of like Bill Self and KU ducked Mizzou for years cause they were butthurt about them leaving the Big 12?

It's fun to go back and forth once in a while, but again, the hate's just not there anymore.

I’ll still enjoy watching ku put 90 on them all the same

Yup. Arky is the rival now. Border state, compete for same recruits in football and basketball. Coaches in football and basketball changing teams from one to another (Anderson, Odom, etc.). Obviously, not the long term tradition that MU-KU had, but that takes time to build. Arky fans legit hate Mizzou, so that's fun.

Looking forward to Oklahoma joining the SEC next year as that will bring in an old Big 8 rival, lot of history there from years back, so that will be good.

Oh, and **** Texas! Hope Michigan destroys them in the playoff and I hate the BIG10!

"Ducking" is an interesting term to use given the context and the stature of those two programs. I'd say "ignoring" would be more accurate.

ku just keeps trying to force this rivalry. Yall pussed out of 10 years not playing us because you were butthurt we left for greener pastures. This is not a rivalry. GL in the little12 losers.
