Interesting read. However I think he is overlooking the fact that each time a loss was avenged, the initial loss was because his incredibly talented roster played like dumb****s who had never seen a basketball.
While that is partially the case this time, with the first road game, young team, hostile environment, physical play, blah, blah, blah, I think it is arguable that KU doesn't have the horses to come out and beat MSU without certain things falling their way.
If they get a good game out of BOTH of the Morrises, and some explosiveness and ball protection out of Tyshawn, it's possible. More importantly, I think it is critical that Reed and Morningstar hot their shots. If they are hitting, that will force their defenders to not sag down on Cole and the Morrises and potentially allow Sherron to be more efdective on ball screens.
If those things don't happen, I think it is going to take some foul trouble or a piss poor shooting night from some of their personnel.
The chances of either of those situations ocurring? Meh, I'd say 50/50. The fact is that those statidtics are fine and well, but this team is much much different from a talent standpoint than the teams that forged those stats.
