Rush will posterize Gibson.

I admit Texas has the size over Kansas but Kansas plays much better defense.

Let's not put the cart before the horse; I'm just happy to be IN this position....heh. :)

Thanks.


Texas on their home court and losing to OSU today will have Texas fired up. Texas is a dominating team with plenty of experience. Kansas is a team that has just recently come together. If Texas were headed to Lawrence, I'd say it would be a tough game, but on their own court, I see Texas with a W.

They'll take out that aggression on K-State in Manhattan Wednesday.

Chalmers is a hell of a defender, and will give Gibson a run for his money. TX has the size advantage over KU, but TX defense isn't that great. KU has a top scoring defense in the nation or close to it. I think the X-factor in this game will be Julian Wright. If he can contain someone down low, and KU can somehow win the boards battle, I think KU can pull this one out. Will it happen? Time will tell, but I can say that it wont be a blowout by any team and I will go as far as saying that no team will win by more than 9 pts. I think its important for them to start off fast like they did against MU, and home reffing will take in account too. Most people will say that it doesnt matter if youre at home or not when it comes to officiating. I say that's supposed to be true but I think the fans can sway an outcome even though theorehtically they are not supposed to, but refs will make makeup calls all the time. I will admit that some of the calls MU got were a result of home court officiating, but then again MU should have gotten called for some stuff they got away with, so I think it goes both ways. But I do think its very important for KU to get off to a great start and get a big lead early.

These freshmen are different than a lot of KU teams in the past. They're are playing well on the road. Anyway, most of the players on KU haven't played in game half as big as the Saturday Night Game. I see KU being a lot more fired up and ready to go. If Texas slips at all, KU will hit them in the mouth.

college basketball is so even this year its too hard to predict games. all i know is with the talent that KU team has it would be a shame not to see them do anything in the tournament...and i am a huge MU fan too by the way. I think past the top 5 teams any game is gonna be pretty close...unless it is Missouri or Baylor...I hate to say it but I think these baby Jays have developed into some damn good players. it really scares me to be an MU fan the next 3 years...Oh well at least I have the Royals and Chiefs...they never let me down! :banghead:

Could go either way... but I do expect to see Texas winning at the buzzer. The Baby J's have come a long way in a short amount of time, but the experience of Texas should be the trump card. But.. if Texas comes out in a slump, and KU comes out hot, it'll be a long frustrating evening for the Longhorns. Still, I'd have to predict Texas in a thriller.

Texas will be more than ready. I'm as big a Jayhawk fan as anyone, but realistically, this is going to be a tough learning experience for the guys. I think we get down big early, but fight back late. There won't be enough time on the clock to finish a comeback. We end up losing by 10. Just the way I see it happening. Of course, I hope I am wrong!

Can't color me stupid,I expect Texas to win. But I also expect KU to be in it till the end with a chance to win.

I think KU has improved this much, the talent is there, the team play is getting better....... a close game, a game to learn from for the big dance.

Texas can't have much of a size advantage. We have Kaun-6'11", Wright-6'8", Jackson-6'8", Giles-6'10", and Moody 6'8". The guards are 6'1", 6'1" and 6'6". Experience and playing at Texas will probably do us in however. Should be a good game though.

If you were looking at it from a Texas perspective, this is just the type of game they might lose. Against a much lower ranked defensive powerhouse that's coming on strong. If Texas gets shaken out of their game by the KU D it's going to hurt their confidence a lot.

It could happen.

Lets hope for an ugly first 5 minutes.

K-State could do KU a big favor this Wednesday. Don't say it couldn't happen, it has before!

goldy?

put down the Kool-aid, son.
