That's not all of it. It's a part, but the guards don't want to get the ball inside, by either passing or driving. They just want to pass side to side instead of attacking it. There's no drive and dish. There's no moving the zone in and out to create some openings to get the ball inside.

It's just too easy to defend and it's not all Ellis' fault. He needs to be more aggressive in getting position and grabbing rebounds, though.

We just did this two years ago... I think they bottomed out around 18 when they lost to Davidson, and they'll land somewhere around there next week, except they have a tougher end to non-conference this year.

Even if people were saying it could be the best Kansas team ever, I think the important part is COULD BE, such as develop into... everyone has been saying for months they'll be a completely different team when it matters, just like two years ago. Falling a whole 8 spots from preseason through the first week and a half of December isn't unexpected when those rankings are based on potential.

They might be a great team in the making... trying to determine that now is dumb.

In what tier of teams do you envision KU to be when B12 tournament starts? I don't know what's so confusing about the question.

That's tough to say. Have you seen the B12 this year? Tough.

KU is going to go from #2 down to #16-#18....that is a nice drop. Has anyone else had such a severe drop this season? I really dont care what you think of the question...there is an answer.

There is an answer, but it's completely meaningless. Yes, KU was overrated in the preseason polls. What exactly does that have a bearing on? LOL

Well except for KSU, TCU and West Virginia because they all kinda suck. Okie St. and Iowa St. will give KU a run this year in the B12 i think.

Weren't you talking about the B12 tourney?

Again...don't think you phrased that question very well.

Michigan was 7th and they're not ranked now... it's really not that big of a deal. They were in the same place in mid-December 2 years ago and made it to the NC game. That's how much it matters.

The only reason I brought up the B12 tournament was to clarify my "post season" condition in case you didn't understand it.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I think we will be a 2 seed in the big dance if that is what you are asking...
