Of course not. But I can guarantee you that their talent level isn't low enough that KU can just lollygag around and expect to win that game.

Withey hasn't even tried yet outside of a few minutes here and there. Not much to judge him on. But I agree...he's not some kind of gifted scorer type.

Yeah just a game. Washburn had a nasty dude in the middle that was scoring on Whitey. I want to see Washburn in MIAA. They were good.

They've been pretty solid I think in the early 2000s they won the national championship. Them and ESU had a nice rivalry for a few years while I was there. I'd suggest catching that game. ESU looked improved.

Bill plays with the lineups and works on set plays. The D2 schools play on the biggest stage they will the whole season. Pretty typical game.

This is true of all D-2 schools...and they generally get hammered anyway.

Didn't Syracuse lose to one last year, though?

I still say he should have entered the draft. His stock is never going to be higher than it was at the end of last season.

They made it to the title game, but lost.

They won the NAIA championship in the 80's.

Yup. I wonder if he's thinking of the Washburn women's team. They won the title just a few years ago.

2005. They've been very strong the past decade. They are highly ranked again this year.

[Buehler445]

My memory is getting old and full of other shit. Sorry.

My dad's favorite saying is that I've got a quart sized brain and trying to fit a gallon in. That's probably more accurate than inaccurate.

But Washburn is pretty decent in the MIAA. And they had a good rivalry with ESU when I attended ESU. For awhile after I left I think the ESU women could have beaten the men.

Could be right. We shall see. It's not every NCAA tournament that you set a record for blocks.

Washburn has been a very good D2 program for a long, long time. They start 4 seniors and 1 junior. KU turned it over a lot and missed many shots (including FTs). All of those factors kept this from being a blowout. I'm not too worried.

Christmas break is usually when Bill gets everything right. I'm not worried, I see some pretty good production coming from McLemore and Ellis offensively and we know what we have for D.

[ArrowheadHawk]

KU will be just fine.

of course, KU will the same team they always are

Are there many kids in the stands during big 12 play? I am hoping that it was because tickets were cheap that kids were all over the place. I am cool with toddlers but like it looked like a couple of them were like 6 inch long Jeff Boshees around.
