Give OSU credit. They got off to a fast start, out hustled, out muscled and hung in after blowing a big lead. They should get some respect, it's hard to win at Allen.

And KU will get another shot at them on Feb 20th, and maybe another in the tourney.

I don't see what the problem is. Okie State has some serious ballers on their team and they got hot and led wire to wire, with a few exceptions. Credit them for a well played game.

Did NOT lead wire to wire...
In fact, KU was up 4 with a chance to go up 6 or 7 until EJ decides to
clean his colon on the next two possessions.

It's a problem because we are seeing the same issues repeated for KU.

One loss doesn't mean anything, we will be fine but seeing a trend of problems is an issue if they don't get fixed.

At 18.2 seconds to go the clock hesitated to start

I don't have it DVR'd but it definitely looked like a slow start

OSU's talent is an excuse to lose on the road to them. Not at home in an arena they've only lost once in 6 years in (especially when you have a lead with a few minutes left). They've got to be better/tougher than that.

How is Elijah still playing the whole game? I blame Self for not taking him out let alone him being a starter. Elijah cost KU the game single handedly, I laughed when he lost the ball on the last play, it was the exclamation point on his pathetic performance.

Cudo's to the cowboys they played at great game in enemy territory.

This is Self's worst team at KU I think. Its a wonder they were ranked at number two in the nation.

Nonsense. This is a better team than they had last year and that team went to the NC finals. It's probably somewhere near the middle of his 10 teams.

:spock:

HA!

Cute.

I disagree.

Sorry I'm not drinking the KU homer koolaid. If they are better then last year's team, they should have no problem making the final eight in the tournament.
I bet they stumble fall before that.

That is a terrible way to judge which team is better.

Do you think last year's team was better than the 2010 team (Sherron Collins, Morris Twins, Aldrich and Henry)?

Actually, "KU homer koolaid" would be falsely believing that a 19-2 NC contender is "Self's worst team at KU." You either can't remember much past this year or don't have a clue what you're talking about because not even Self is that good.

Self blasted his team in the post game presser. Awesome. We need this.

He probably does. So many people put so much stock into winning that string of games. I'd argue, though, that the 2010 team was Self's second best over his last 10 years. The 2007, 2011, 2012, and 2013 teams fall somewhere just after that.
