Solid game, never really in doubt
Withey just too much for them

would like to see more time for Ellis and Traylor
Rio Adam looked shaky but gotta try him because PG is still issue
where is White?

I think the team can get by with him being lazy through conference play. But, we absolutely need something out of him come NCAA tournament time.

Gotta get better. ROCK CHALK JAYHAWK!

KU will be either #1 or #2 in the polls on Monday. Michigan still has to play at Illinois tomorrow.

Man, ugly game, but I really enjoyed it. We played some really great D and I was pretty impressed with OU's defense too. If Withey wasn't around, it would be a way different OU team. They just did nothing at all inside.

I was also impressed with Ellis. He's an entirely different player than a month ago. He's taking some of Young's minutes. And that's super. Young is doing some good things, but unfortunately you have to take the good with the bad, but it warmed my soul to get some production out of Ellis.

I wonder what the deal is with EJ. At first, it was speculation that his knee wasn't 100%, and he hasn't done much of anything in a month. We are going to need him. Particularly with how effective their press was.

In other news, when Releford picked up the dude streaking down the floor, drove him to the baseline and punked his shot, to lead to Withey's dunk, WOW. That might be the best individual defense on a fastbreak I've ever seen. That was incredible. Releford is a defensive prodigy.

17 wins in a row is also the 3rd longest win streak in the Self era trailing 20 (2007-2008) and 18 (2010-2011) both of which were to start seasons..

KU has now won 17 straight. Next best in AP Top 25 is 8 Ws in a row (Oregon & Ole Miss). Only 3 Top 25 teams have 5-plus Ws in a row.

OU is going to need to do something differently offensively in a few weeks at home. Running their offense through Osby against a player like Withey just isn't going to be effective. The only real way to beat a defense like KU's is through outside jump shots (and obviously getting a bit lucky there). As such, I think they significantly underused Pledger today, a great shooter.

Confidence is growing. He'll definitely be leaned on a lot more next year, so that's a good sign.

I think he's just rather lazy and unfocused. It's too bad because he's a major talent and could have had a much better KU career than he's had IMO, but if he's only going to get serious in the big games, I guess we'll just have to take that.

Chiefs Pantalones · 01-26-2013, 05:38 PM

Next up, WVU. They'll be "striping the coliseum" on Monday.

Ceej · 01-26-2013, 05:39 PM

Beware of the Clitula!!

KC_Connection · 01-26-2013, 05:43 PM

WVU really sucks offensively this season, but that place is never an easy place for anybody to play. And they should be up for it especially if KU is the new #1. Can't afford to get complacent.

Chiefs Pantalones · 01-26-2013, 05:55 PM

Self says we don't deserve the #1 spot, but if so somebody has to be it. He never thought we'd be in the position to ask him that question.

saphojunkie · 01-26-2013, 05:58 PM

I'm completely happy with KU not being ranked #1 ever. Anymore, I feel like it's nice to have some ground in front of you to make up.

I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop, but it looks as though we might run the table in the Big 12 this year.

Turning Bramledge into the Hawktagon pretty much killed the only legitimate hope a team had of taking us down. We could still lose a conference game, but there is zero reason for any team to believe they can beat us.

It's not like anybody else deserves it more.
