These baby Hawks are playing some really good basketball. To be the best you gotta beat the best IMO, and Texas is up there with them in being the best even though they lost badly against OSU.
Just because they (TX) are ranked so high (well probably not anymore) doesn't mean KU will lose. Texas in my opinion is very streaky, and in my opinion besides a couple games, KU has played more consistent than Texas. A lot of people seem to forget that Syracuse a couple of seasons ago won a National Title with 2 star freshman and a sophomore. Against a KU team that alot of people thought would beat them, myself included. Anything can happen and a win against an inconsistent Texas team very and likely possible IMO.

Several things concern me:
1. We have not beaten anyone with the talent and depth of Texas.
2. The atmosphere will be as crazy as anything these kids have ever seen. There will be some shell shock.
3. You say we play consistent, but I disagree in part. Within a game we'll go on amazing runs on O, then completely disappear. A team like Texas could bury us for that. We are fairly consistent on D though. I'll admit I don't get to watch all the games, but from what I've read/seen this seems to be the case.
4. UT will have fire in their eyes. Their honor was taken by OSU, they'll want to take it out on someone.
5. Don't be surprised by a scare in the Baylor game. A close game or loss could seriously shake our confidence.
Again, I hope I'm wrong. I hope our guys have ice in their veins and play well on both ends of the floor. I hope everything goes KU's way, I'm just not going to get too upset, surprised, or disappointed if we do lose.
