The tournament was rigged for Kentucky. They got to play all home games but one. They had to play one away game at Louisville and lost handily.
The Hawks got to play one home game and it wasn't on campus. I'm glad Davis-Steel won at Kentucky. It was great to see the crowd file out as losers.
I see KU is in the mix for former Michigan St. big man Jaxon Kohler. Averaged 12.5 ppg and 8.9 rpg last season so what are the chances of him actually ending up in Lawrence?
@kjayhawks2.0 said in KU @ Arizona St 8pm CT:
we had 21 offensive rebounds and 4 second chance points. Wow!
Yep. This defined the game and it's stunning.
If you look at this team's record with these remarkably anomalistic, highly improbable and statistically aberrational numbers, you might be tempted to throw a couple of these losses out.
They are pretty good if you take away the weirdness. Or is it weirdness? What is the norm?
It's just hard to know whether this team can still gel and harden and normalize into its full potential at this point.

@stoptheflop think you forgot to specify KU is picked 3rd in the Monster Energy Big 12 (still can't believe how little that deal was for having to see that everywhere).
The human polls have a bit of bias around KU since we have been underperforming for going on 3 years and are overcorrecting IMO. Top 7/8 respectively in Barttorvik/Kenpm, which feels about right.
KU is 4th in the Big 12 in the preseason Kenpom ranking. Houston is 3, Arizona is 5, Iowa St. 6, and KU 8.
@wissox83 1952 NCAA championship, 1952 Olympic gold medal, and 3× NBA champion ('54, '63, '64). First player to ever win an NCAA title, NBA title, and Olympic gold medal.
Tiller is the puzzle to me. Looked so good for stretches, and then disappeared for longer stretches. Seemed like he just wanted to drift around the 3 point line rather than mixing it up in the middle.
