OFFICIAL Kansas Jayhawks at Texas Longhorns

[teedubya]

Tip off 8pm ESPN.

Should be one interesting game. Im happy with how we have played so far this year and grown... definitely going to be a showdown tonight.

Im not expecting a win, but I sure would like to be pleasantly surprised.

RCJHKU
:KU:

[CoMoChief]

KU by 6, mark it down.

[teedubya]

KU by 6, mark it down.

So are you trying some reverse MU Mojo or what?

So are you trying some reverse MU Mojo or what?


It's called confidence.

[Sure-Oz]

ill have to check it out later tonight, big game for ku

[OldTownChief]

Should be a tough one. I've been waiting for this one for weeks.

[ChiefsFanatic]

My son's 7th grade team is named the Longhorns. It almost made me sick this morning. I could only bring myself to yell "Let's go team."

[CoMoChief]

This is the game everyone has been waiting for. I think it's very important the Jayhawks come out on fire early to take the crowd out of it.

The Irwin Center sucks. The most stale basketball environment in the Big 12. It won't be half as intimidating as Mizzou Arena was for KU.

[Bearcat]

Trying not to get my hopes up... it'll be nice just to watch the game.

A couple of feel-good articles...

[sedated]

If KU stays calm and doesn't turn the ball over, they will win.

It's a good clash between maturity and unbelievable raw talent.

[greg63]

GO HAWKS! :D

That is about the limit of my analytic abilities.

You cant compare Mizzou arena with anything when KU comes into town when you talk about hostile environments.

[banyon]

I think Texas wins by 6.

Rick Barnes is a sh*** coach and can't motivate his team, but the crowd should do that for him today.

KU has no one to match up on Tucker. He'll go off.

KU has to shoot really well from outside to win this game. They can't rely on their superior athleticism like they have recently.

Texas plays only seven players. The have no depth, so they have to play a zone for 40 minutes. Between Rush's ability to penetrate and Chalmers and Robinson's outside shot, I like KU's chances.

The crowd will not play a factor.

[Dunit35]

Hey Leviw, did you get yourself some Select last nite?

[leviw]

Hey Leviw, did you get yourself some Select last nite?

Nah, I'd already bought the 12 pack of BL, so I stuck with that. I'll do the Select next weekend and let ya know how it turns out.

[Dunit35]

Nah, I'd already bought the 12 pack of BL, so I stuck with that. I'll do the Select next weekend and let ya know how it turns out.

Next weekend I might take my happy ass over to Manhattan, haven't decided yet.

Yeah, like I said, we gotta shoot well.

Does their crowd suck that bad? I would think they could at least pack the house for this game.

[Dunit35]

One of my buddies is going to the game tonight. He goes to KU but his sister lives in TX after she graduated KU so they got tickets to go to the game. Atleast we will have two KU fans there.

[leviw]

Yeah, like I said, we gotta shoot well.

Does their crowd suck that bad? I would think they could at least pack the house for this game.

It will be a packed house. It's just not a good basketball arena. Crowd noise is like that of an NBA arena.

[Mr. Laz]

ku might be able to win on depth alone


just start running and attacking the basket ... the longhorn big guys down low will get tired and start having to foul..... game over.

[Dunit35]

If Texas only has a depth of 7 and KU doesn't just plain attack the basket I will be super mad. Get them in foul trouble and take command of the court. Rush, Wright and Kaun should just take it to the hoop and create fouls.

[phxchief]

Texas will win comfortably.

[Skip Towne]

Our thread starter is the best we have against animal named teams. That should be enough.

[leviw]

Texas will win comfortably.

Who could possibly question that analysis?

[Mr. Kotter]

Three Keys, IMO:

1. Limit turnovers.
2. Keep the rebounds close.
3. We'll need some threes.

Otherwise, their big guys will keep us down.

RCJGKU :KU:

[banyon]

Going to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the game.

Enjoy the game!

GO HAWKS!!!

[ROYC75]

Should be a good game as a college basketball fan to watch, even better if we can pull off the win.

[JBucc]

Fun game. go KU. Tuck Fexas

[Skip Towne]

1. Limit turnovers.
2. Keep the rebounds close.
3. We'll need some threes.

Otherwise, their big guys will keep us down.

RCJGKU :KU:
I'm thinking our big guys will work them over. We have 5 guys 6'8" or taller and 3 of them are 235# or more. We can bang and afford the fouls but they can't.

[Mr. Kotter]

I'm thinking our big guys will work them over. We have 5 guys 6'8" or taller and 3 of them are 235# or more. We can bang and afford the fouls but they can't.

I hope they do it, because I do think that would be a sound game plan. :thumb:

I'm just not confident our big guys coming off the bench can really handle them....unless we force them to loosen up, with the outside shooting.

[Chiefs Pantalones]

Texas is too much.

[Skip Towne]

Texas is too much.
Its a good thing OSU didn't know that last week.

[Mr. Kotter]

Its a good thing OSU didn't know that last week.

In Austin...we will have to earn it though.

[chiefs4me]

Texas will win comfortably.







Ya think??? :D

[teedubya]

here we go Jayhawks, here we go.

[JBucc]

4-0 this games already over

[DJay23]

Making our shots. Now if the officials will call that body contact both ways...

[DJay23]

Thank you, that's better

[teedubya]

10-16 texas

[teedubya]

damn, get in there.

[teedubya]

those passes were beautiful... a clinic. Chalmers for the THREE.... GOOD!!

15-16 TX

[teedubya]

how is nobody else posting?

[DJay23]

I like our chances if they keep playing the slow clumsy white guys.

[Mr. Laz]

so far texas is getting the home cooking from the refs.

[DJay23]

how is nobody else posting?
I'm here. I don't actually get to WATCH KU games so I'm kind of glued to the action.

[DJay23]

We're getting owned on the boards.

[DJay23]

so far texas is getting the home cooking from the refs.
Yeah, adn I'll probably whine about it but we get the same in AFH. To be expected.

[Mr. Laz]

G** D** refs ... everytime there is contact on a loose ball it goes against us.

i guess they heard that Texas has depth problems so they want to give them a helping hand. :cuss:

[teedubya]

I'm here. I don't actually get to WATCH KU games so I'm kind of glued to the action.

i hear you... wireless laptops own while watching sports.

[Skip Towne]

how is nobody else posting?
We're watching the game.

[teedubya]

Rush has to get into this, man... come on bro. take over.

[teedubya]

my boy!!! Jules Wright

[Skip Towne]

Wright!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[teedubya]

i just watched that dunk like 10 times. that owned.

[Mr. Laz]

oh hell no ...

self didn't just take out our only offensive threat going?!?!

we are barely hanging on... wright has to stay in

[DJay23]

None of these loose balls are going our way here.

[Skip Towne]

Wear em out :KU:

[DJay23]

Wow, a foul against Texas? That's kooky talk!

[milkman]

KU needs a perimeter shooter.

They are throwing up some ugly 3 pt. attempts.

They also might want to defend that Abrams kid.

[chiefsfan987]

how was that not a travel?

[teedubya]

yeah, Micah Downs, or Galindo would be nice to have

[chiefsfan987]

Might actually want to try and defend the 3 ball sometime tonight.

[pikesome]

What's the score, all I have at the moment is Chiefs Planet's coverage?

[Skip Towne]

Force it inside and make them foul.

[DJay23]

how was that not a travel?
Oh, they're not calling it on Texas tonight.

[teedubya]

that was a killer of potential momentum...

[DJay23]

This is what pisses me off. That shot Wright just attempted where he was fouled happened twice earlier in the game, once was him the other time was Chalmers I believe and it wasn't called.

BE CONSISTENT!

[Skip Towne]

What's the score, all I have at the moment is Chiefs Planet's coverage?
Halftime: Texas 36 KU 27

[Mr. Laz]

we didn't know how to attack their zone

[DJay23]

Well we played tough. Just need to quit the turnovers and guard that pussy spot up shooter.

[DJay23]

we didn't know how to attack their zone
They kept switching too. That had to be confusing them a little.

[Mr. Laz]

They kept switching too. That had to be confusing them a little.
i bet self works on that during half time..


we got the ball to the center of the zone, which is key... but nobody was cutting towards the basket after the ball got there.

they just stood around the perimeter and watched Wright try and create something by himself

[Mr. Laz]

"and more importantly ... what texas needs to do ..."


digger can go blow a goat with is longhorn c*** suckoff contest he's running.

:mad:

[Skip Towne]

Texas shooting is unconscious.

[Skip Towne]

Pound it inside, boys.

[chiefsfan987]

we're gonna have to start making some 3's or this is gonna get out of hand. They've already outscored us 21-3 from beyond the arc. Trading 2 for 3 isn't gonna get you any closer.

[Mr. Laz]

getting fugly :sulk:

i guess self didn't adjust about the zone

[chiefsfan987]

we're over-rated.

[Skip Towne]

Finally we go inside.

[teedubya]

our boys are getting their asses smoked.

[PastorMikH]

Texas is making this look easy.

[Mr. Laz]

Texas is making this look easy.

says the mizzou-ian

[teedubya]

i feel a 11-2 run by KU coming

[Skip Towne]

Texas is making this look easy.
It IS easy when you make every shot you throw up.

[DJay23]

We're not getting any turnovers. I think we're actually making Texas look way better than they actually are. Very sloppy play.

[DJay23]

Texas is making this look easy.
You're wrong. Kansas is making this look easy for them. If we weren't turnig the ball over so much it's a 1 or 2 point game.

[DJay23]

Buckman got him with the body first.

[HolmeZz]

Not ready to run with the big dogs yet.

[DJay23]

This is a ****ing joke.

[PastorMikH]

You're wrong. Kansas is making this look easy for them. If we weren't turnig the ball over so much it's a 1 or 2 point game.



The reason you are turning the ball over is because Texas is forcing you to turn it over. Texas is looking better than what I expected them to be.

[Bearcat]

We're not getting any turnovers. I think we're actually making Texas look way better than they actually are. Very sloppy play.

When it started off quickly, I knew we were in trouble.... didn't think we would be lucky to see 50 though :(


Eh... you can say it was Kansas' chance to show the nation they belong, but after Texas' last two games, you can say the same for them.

[Skip Towne]

Texas coming back to earth. Two misses in a row.

[DJay23]

The reason you are turning the ball over is because Texas is forcing you to turn it over. Texas is looking better than what I expected them to be.
All they have to do is stand there. We're putting it right in their laps.

[Bearcat]

I'm surprised they're only 9-18 :banghead:

[Mr. Laz]

i'd like to beat that ref in the head with a hammer.

he is giving texas every friggin body contact foul


we're getting zilch

[4th and Long]

It's obvious we didn't bring our "A Game" tonight.

I'm not sure I can watch much more of this.

http://www.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/411529/2/istockphoto_411529_boy_covering_his_eyes.jpg

[Mr. Laz]

wtf is self grinning for?!



we've been struggling against zones all year long ... he better freaking do his job.

[chiefsfan987]

nba continuation?

[DJay23]

I like how the guys are still fighting. They need to believe that they can make a comeback before they can make a comeback.

[Skip Towne]

I'd at least like to see a run. But no, just pass it around the outside like a bunch of retards.

[DJay23]

nba continuation?
I was surprised they gave him continuation too. The one ref in the corner just stood there like he didn't even know there was a basketball game being played.

[Mr. Laz]

I like how the guys are still fighting. They need to believe that they can make a comeback before they can make a comeback.

they still have time if we can just start getting production against their zone AND if texas gets out of "the shooting zone"

[DJay23]

I love it. Down 19 and still giving up the body. :clap:

[PastorMikH]

Texas passing on multiple 3 pointers. Don't see Kansas doing that when they are up by 20+

[Reaper16]

This was ugly. Ugly on tubgirl levels; that is, I feel dirty and bad for having witnessed it.

[Bearcat]

Texas passing on multiple 3 pointers. Don't see Kansas doing that when they are up by 20+


You didn't see Kansas starters passing up on 3s at the end of the MU game because they weren't in the game :rolleyes:

[Mr. Laz]

Texas passing on multiple 3 pointers. Don't see Kansas doing that when they are up by 20+

STFU

[DJay23]

Texas passing on multiple 3 pointers. Don't see Kansas doing that when they are up by 20+
:deevee:

[Mr. Kotter]

Ugly.

The Longhorns schooled the Baby Jayhawks.

Turnovers, and lack of perimeter shooting really killed us.

Texas stepped up.

Put it behind us, and move on. Hopefully, we can make a better showing in the tournament(s).

RCJGKU :KU:

[Mr. Laz]

i hate the state of texas ....


think mexico will give a case beer up in trade for it?

[Bearcat]

Wow, a reserve took a 3... I wonder why a reserve would take a 3 when the team is up by 20? Anyone?

[DJay23]

Well that sucked balls. To my fellow KU fans who were so supremely confident earlier in the week, all I can say is I told you so. Sedated was dead on. The winning streak was great, but we didn't beat anyone of consequence especially on the road.

That said, I'm not sure what our guys learn from this. Perhaps it will humble them and make them work harder. I hope Colorado eats their Wheaties because I think our kids are gonna destroy them.

[ROYC75]

That sure was ugly .

One could go on about our lack of D tonight, no transition, no rebounds, no loose balls..........

In reality, it was too much Texas. They showed the nation why they are a top 5 team.

[PastorMikH]

Wow, a reserve took a 3... I wonder why a reserve would take a 3 when the team is up by 20? Anyone?



Probably because the shot clock was at 1 second when he got the ball.

[ArrowheadHawk]

the only thing i hate about this loss is that the two games prior those longhorn pussies played like shit then all of the sudden they play like he-men

[Bearcat]

14, but nice try.

[ROYC75]

Wake up call ?
Home game ?
National TV ?
Redemption from last year ?
A possible # 1 seed ?

Many reasons.

[Mr. Laz]

we didn't even show up...


i hope this encourages us not play like such pussies some times.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Wake up call ?
Home game ?
National TV ?
Redemption from last year ?
A possible # 1 seed ?

Many reasons.
i guess that is the downside of being kansas.....everybody is going to give us their best shot

[ArrowheadHawk]

what was wrong with Rush tonight....i was screaming at him through the tv to shoot the damn ball

[Braincase]

Well, that sucked.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Well, that sucked.
i second that

[chiefs4me]

i hate the state of texas ....


think mexico will give a case beer up in trade for it?

I think it's somewhere in between... we played really well at times regardless of the level of competition, but at the same time I'm not sure why anyone would have been that confident going to Texas, especially when Texas was out to do something about their crappy play.

They're better for having gone through it... even if winning would have been a pretty good experience, too ;)

[ROYC75]

what was wrong with Rush tonight....i was screaming at him through the tv to shoot the damn ball

Maybe you didn't yell loud enough ? He must of not heard you.

Seriously, they took him out for the most part, by us not able to hit the outside shot, we were toast from the opening bell. They pretty much let the teams play, it wasn't as physical as I expected.

Texas was just hot from the 3 point line.......

Wasn't our night, again, Too much Texas tonight.

i will be glad when a kansas team of upperclassmen that are all bill self recruits are fielded as a team. i think bill will be the man in the next ten years.


roy who?

[ROYC75]

Seriously, the way Texas played tonight, there probally wasn't but 2 - 3 teams in the country that could have stayed with them, chances are , probally none tonight.

That 3 point shooting was major difference.

Honestly, I wasn't too upset watching this game. At the point we got down by 8, I told III, not tonight, no comeback is going to happen in Austin.

[tk13]

i will be glad when a kansas team of upperclassmen that are all bill self recruits are fielded as a team. i think bill will be the man in the next ten years.


roy who?
So you like watching the NBA, huh? :)

[ArrowheadHawk]

no comeback is going to happen in Austin.
it sure woulda been nice to make the thing respectable though you know how much shit im going to get this week for kansas getting blown out by all the kstate fans i know

[CoMoChief]

Things I learned tonite from the game...

-Rush was afraid to shoot the ball
-The way TX played tonite, I dont think anyone could have beat them
-KU can't play against a zone defense
-I still hate Brad Buckman
-Dick Vitale referred to Roy Williams or the ACC at least 25 times through out the game
-Our big men had no answer for Aldridge
-KU got their asses kicked, but I see payback coming from the Big12 tourney

[ArrowheadHawk]

So you like watching the NBA, huh? :)
lol...i consider juniors upper classman.... it could happen that we start at least 2 upperclassmen cant it?

[tk13]

-KU got their asses kicked, but I see payback coming from the Big12 tourney

"KU by 6, mark it down." :)

[Dunit35]

Rush looked horrid. Couldn't handle the pressure. But the main thing what that when a team like Texas shoots above 50% their going to be hard to beat. Any team that shoots as well as they did is going to be hard to beat.

A good lesson for KU though. Let's see what they can do after this.

[ArrowheadHawk]

A good lesson for KU though. Let's see what they can do after this.
hopefully beat colorado and kstate

[leviw]

I'm happy to throw in my two cents as I was one amongst us who thought KU would hang with Texas and probably beat them tonight. Texas was dead on tonight, and I was affraid of that after the two poor road games they played.

Rush was a non-factor. Wright was a man. He had no help, though.

KU is going to struggle against a zone. I don't think they're as bad of a three-point shooting team as they showed tonight, but not much better.

The loss sucks, but I wouldn't put too much weight on it. Texas needed this win more than KU did. Still it would have been nice to have been competitive, but as many of you have mentioned, I'm not sure how many teams would have been competitive against Texas tonight.

[Dunit35]

hopefully beat colorado and kstate


Yeah they should manhandle both of them.

[Dunit35]

Yeah three point shooting was horrible.

good insight....we can still win the big 12 tourney

[4th and Long]

At least we're not Missouri. :D

[ArrowheadHawk]

we can hope for ou and aTm beat UT and we would still have a shot at the regular season title but i doubt that is going to happen......we are going to have to beat both ou and ut in the big 12 tourney

[ArrowheadHawk]

At least we're not Missouri. :D
rep

[CoMoChief]

"KU by 6, mark it down." :)

Kiss my ass. KU played far worse than people expected, as Texas played far better than people expected. Those together are a recipe for disaster for Kansas.

[ArrowheadHawk]

Kiss my ass.
easy with the hostility

[chubychecker]

"KU by 6, mark it down."

I'll take some of that action!!! What part of the game made you think that this is possible?

[tk13]

Kiss my ass. KU played far worse than people expected, as Texas played far better than people expected. Those together are a recipe for disaster for Kansas.
ROFL

So angry. Easy there trigger. I'm just giving you crap. First rule of internet smack. Don't make a prediction and walk out on a limb you aren't prepared for someone to beat the hell out of you with. :D

Obviously that post was before the game so I would say that based on the way both teams were playing coming into this game that I made a "prediction" that KU would win by 6.

[tk13]

I'll take some of that action!!! What part of the game made you think that this is possible?
See the very first response to this thread.

Don't make a prediction and walk out on a limb you aren't prepared for someone to beat the hell out of you with. :DYeah, if you're going to make a point to tell people to "mark it down", you might not want to get defensive about it when they do.

[chubychecker]

oops, my bad.

[|Zach|]

Mark it down.

[teedubya]

Im unpleasantly not surprised.

[gblowfish]

At least we're not Missouri. :D
I love March.
It reminds me of...
BUCKNELL!

I can't wait for basketball season to end.
It's a trail of tears.
Tigers will be back someday.
(Whistfull staring into space...)

Can't wait to watch KU croak in the NCAAs again.
It's a sure sign of spring.

[Sure-Oz]

but but but bucknells ranked now so that means that loss is not as bad...pffft

[DJay23]

Looks like the SPED class let out.

Seriously, are we at all surprised that these retards decided to wait till after the game to come out and start the same old tired routine? :rolleyes:

[DJay23]

It's a sure sign of spring.
Much like the lame attempts at smack of the Mizzou fans, whose only point of pride is that someone else lost a game because they don't even MAKE the tournament anymore.

You are a solid team that will live another day and get a good a spot in the tourn. When you guys were looking like shit you couldn't find the old guard of KU fans to save your life.

They were hiding.

I liked it personally.

Well sucked to watch tonight, but it doesn't hurt as bad when you expected to lose. It'll be nice to remember how they left in their starters til the one minute mark next year when they come to the Phog without Tucker, Aldridge, or Buckman. I hope we beat them by 50.

Now that that's out of my system, thoughts on the game. I thought Texas would win, but I am surprised that we were blown out, because this Bill Self team just doesn't get blown out. Our D is usually enough to keep us in games even if we aren't shooting well. I thought we gave good effort and hustle for most of the game. Two things happened that spelled doom for KU, one that I predicted and the other that I didn't see coming whatsoever. We did not shoot well from the perimeter and they shot lights out. That was critical especially in the 2nd half when we couldn't penetrate against their zone. The other thing, and I guess I have to give Rick Barnes a little credit here, they did a masterful job on Julian Wright. In KU games recently, Wright has been abusing teams with his uncanny passing ability in the low post. I guess Barnes watched all of that film and stressed to his guys to be ready to jump the interior passing lanes every time Wright got the ball. It was a very effective strategy. It's not the only reason they won, but it sure didn't help. I didn't think it was the best-called game I had ever seen, but it wasn't the worst either. We got some calls early in the 2nd half, but they got several calls driving the ball into the low post that really hurt. Some of Texas's playmakers that game, especially in the first half, made difficult shots even when they were well defended. That's the mark of superior talent.

I thought that individually, Kahn and Giles played some nice minutes in the 1st half, especially on D, but folded in the 2nd. Rush had one of his worst games, offensively, and defensively on Tucker, mostly in the 2nd half (tucker only had 2 pts at te half). Chalmers and Robinson did not force as many turnovers as they had recently. I know that Tx isn't immune to that, since Memphis forced a lot of turnovers against them when I saw them earlier. OSU got a lot of TO's too.

As far as our seeding and ranking go, I think we drop probably 2 or 3 spots in the Top 25, to 21 or 20, no big whoop. Doesn't mean too much right now. Seeding wise, it's a huge difference here. If we won, and won the Big 12 Tourney, I think we could've made a case for a 3, but getting blown out makes us look a little illegitimate I think. The selection committee really uses 4 criteria: RPI, Strength of schedule, "quality wins" and "bad losses". Unfortunately for KU, since we lost by 25, it will be considered a "bad loss" by the selection committee. Any loss by more than 20 is a bad loss for them, just like TX's losses to Duke and Tennessee will be considered bad losses, even though those are good teams. That and the OSU loss kills their chance at a 1 seed. For us, we are ok on the first two criteria, but since the Big XII is down this year, we don't have a lot of quality wins to trumpet. Oklahoma is probably the best, and we did that barely in our gym. You might count California too, since they've come on recently. One other thing the tourney committee loves is how you are performing late in the season as opposed to early. That helps KU a lot. The most recent Bracketology had us at a #5. I think this drops us to a 6. If we win the last 2 games vs. CU and K St, I think we maintain that. The only way to improve our seed now dramatically is to win the Big XII Tourney and maybe beat TX in a rematch. That would give us legitimacy. I think if we do that, we are a #4 seed. If not, we stay at 6, mostly because of our lack of quality wins. I'd rather be a 6 than a 4 or 5 anyway, though. That 5/12 game is historically a b****, and if you're one of those 2 seeds, you gotta play the #1 in Round 3. Given the separation of the upper echelon this year in college BB between the top 4 teams and the rest of the field, I'd much rather play the #2 than the #1.

Rock Chalk!!! :KU:

[phxchief]

KU played far worse than people expected, as Texas played far better than people expected.

Not so fast.

I didn't expect KU to do shit, and I did expect Texas to win with ease.

I didn't expect the public rape that went down, but there ya go.

Those together are a recipe for disaster for Kansas.

And an even bigger disasterpiece for your predictions.

A few quotes:

First - Austin, Texas — “Worse than Baylor” is the chant that emanated from the University of Texas student section in the closing minutes of the Longhorns’ 80-55 victory over Kansas on Saturday in the Erwin Center.

Response: “We know we’re not worse than Baylor. They know we’re not worse than Baylor,” KU sophomore Russell Robinson said with a shrug. “We just have to refocus. After a big loss like this, there’s nowhere to go but up.”

I like the confidence and sense of reality.

“There’s always hope. We can still win the league,” Robinson said. “It’s just disappointing because we felt we were playing so well lately. We were on a 10-game win streak. Things were all going right. Tonight, we just didn’t do the things we can do. If we play again, we’ll be ready.” - Russel Robinson

“We’re a young team. We were not ready for the pressure,” Giles said. “We’ll be ready next time. It’s something we can learn from. We’ll get better as we go.” - C.J. Giles

I like this quote from Self:

“It’s one game,” Self said. “Texas wasn’t a bad team after the Duke game (losing by 31 on Dec. 10), and we didn’t become a bad team after 40 minutes tonight. The key is to not let one become two.”

No doubt. Are the Jayhawks a bit over rated? Possibly (probably), but it's only one. 10 teams in the Big 12 would love to trade places with us right now.

[Bearcat]

Looks like the SPED class let out.

Seriously, are we at all surprised that these retards decided to wait till after the game to come out and start the same old tired routine? :rolleyes:


Glad I left when I did.. who knew the murons would come by and talk about things they know little about, like the NCAA tournament, a down year having the potential of 20 wins, and not showing up when your team loses... er, wait.. they showed up here to join all the KU fans instead of going to their own loss thread :rolleyes:

Maybe by a couple of spots in the polls, but I don't think the tournament field is going to be real deep to begin with... heck, Colorado was ranked a couple of weeks ago... no one knows how good George Washington is, because they haven't played anyone in 2 months.

Good Morning Jayhawk Nation .......

A few thoughts here for our wondermous rival fans ......


On last night's loss .......... Hold on to that cherished moment as long as you can. We are a young team still learning, there are going to be bumps in the road along the way. This team has already done better than I had expected of them.....

Seedings ...... sure it is nice to get a higher seed, but just getting in is better than most of our confrence will do. As we win, it becomes a sweeter and bigger slice of cake . To get a lower seed and win in the tourney, esp. if you go far is nothing to sneeze at.

To the MU and KSU fans who want to cheer about a KU loss, feel free, it's the only ritual you have to do, which doesn't happen as often as you like for it to. You only wish your team could be as successful as KU. Yep, jealously runs amok in Pussycat Nation ( this includes both Tiggers and Kittens ) . We understand why you hate to see KU win so often and laugh when KU lose's. We understand that it suck's to be a 2nd / 3rd tier team in the confrence year in and year out. ( Oh wait, MU is a 4th tier team this year, right, KSU is slightly better. ) So enjoy your team of failure. We understand you get GREAT joy by a KU loss, it's the only thing you get to cheer about.


With All of our love,
Jayhawk Nation .


P.S. Good Luck Rival fans, See you in the NCAA Tourney......... Oh wait, I guess we won't, that's just isn't remotely possible unless some team hands you the BIG 12 Confrence Tourney .

You're a dumbass. No two ways about it. You suck. Your takes suck. Your contribution to this thread sucks. Yesterday you make a blanket-like prediction that would have covered anything fron a 2-55 point KU loss. Imagine that, you get it right. You come back here this morning talking shit like you're f*cking Nostradamus.

You've added zero insight. Zero analysis. And, it's obvious you know shit about college basketball and, without the help of Google, couldn't possibly name more than two players for either team that played last night.

Here's an idea: Start bringing posts that mean something to people on this board rather than the bullshit you're spraying right now. Nobody cares what you were saying weeks ago about KU. I'm sure you looked very intelligent saying how overrated they were as the rolled off 10 wins in a row. Couldn't possibly look any dumber than you do now, though.

In any case, there's no use responding to this post, becuase I own you.

The End.

Progress? Apparently someone has forgotten we are a mere 3 years removed from a Championship game appearance and back to back Final 4's. Typical of a Mizzou fan to ignore those facts. Talk about selective memory.

Yep, we split this year. Congrats.

Pointing out individual losses that have nothing to do with Mizzou is probably not the smartest. If you want to talk head to head, let's do it. If we want to start comparing tournament resume's and all time wins-losses, let me know. You're gonna lose either way so, I guess I can see why you'd grasp onto one loss by your rival. You're entire program's biggest highlight in the last year was KU losing to Bucknell. That is truly pathetic.

KU losing to Bucknell. That is truly pathetic.

Well, this year they are shooting 1 for 3. Great year MU.
