New season starts now.

0-0.

Well we played about as well as we can play.

Thats all we can ask of this team.

Just not very good. Just hope for lightning in a bottle for the tournament. Kind of freeing not having expectations.

Rooting for Zeke, KJ and Juan the rest of the way. True Kansas players. They aren't very good but they are the heart and soul. Don't really care about wins and losses rest of the year.

When I watch Zeke play basketball, heart and soul isn't the first thing that comes to mind

Probably should have recruited LJ Cryer instead of sticking with a PG who can’t shoot at all, I’m thinking

Yes. The game pretty much went exactly how I thought it would. I knew it would be close. KJ played excellent defense on Roberts, Dickinson is a match up problem for UH. The biggest surprise to me was how well Coit played, in my opinion going forward he needs to play more. He made some big shots and distributed the ball well. He's a "dawg." Little bit of a liability on defense, but he made up for it on the offensive end.

UH won because of all the offensive rebounds, and turnovers. Houston was able to take 26 more shots than KU. That was huge, and was the difference. Sometimes teams don't even take 26 shots in a whole half of basketball.

Good luck in the Big 12 Tournament and the Dance, unless you play UH. ;)

Ok, I may have exaggerated on Hunter but I stand by my statement that he is unclutch.

Zeke makes too many boneheaded plays, mostly the turnover variety. Why does he still have a starting spot?

Because he can shoot a basketball.

Who would've guessed that Diggy Coit would be the most well-rounded player on this team??? Yikes!

I think we're doing it wrong.

Apparently a lot of people are doing it wrong if Storr was ranked #4.

It's one thing to criticize these things in hindsight. I'm sure Bill is kicking himself for taking Storr at this point too. But it's annoying when fans act like they weren't celebrating these moves when they were made.

I've maintained AJ Storr sucks even before he played in his first KU game. I've never waivered.

True, that's one of your (very few) wins
