  We will see how good the KSU guards are. If we can rebound their misses we can run if not we have to rely on TO’s and steals. We can be hurt by giving up offensive boards and or put backs. Need Kevin to stay out of foul trouble. Keep shooting the open treys.

  @Jethro I agree. The only losses i think we get are at ISU and maaaaaybe at TCU. People are so worried about TCU and their running game - but isn’t that when Selfs teams are at their best? I mean TCU is good, I’ve been watching them a bit but it’s nothing we haven’t seen before and definitely a winnable game there on a decent shooting night. 6-2 is definitely realistic and with decent shooting 7-1 is possible.

  @Crimsonorblue22 said in Let's talk Iowa St: KJ Adams is the Big 12 Player of the Week. He averaged 18.5 points and 6.0 rebounds per game this past week in ️🥰 Great news! Our players get that humility in part from our coach.

  @Jayblaze Right on! Remember that championship game with UNC. And Davis was about to explode with emotion in that first half while his team spent all their energy in that half… helping us for a monumental comeback. Meanwhile… Self and Company just kept their cool and brought it when it counts!

  @kuballin10 said in Coach Self talking remainder of Jan: @jayballer67 let’s see how tough we are and what this team is made of. I’d roll with the squad any night and they never quit or ever think they won’t win. Championship attitude spilled over to this season with jalen, Juan and kj. I know it’s not looking good but book it Gradey is back next year playing the jwill or och role shooting 15 times a game. ya were gonna find out real quick. I think maybe it’s me just wearing my Crimson & Blue glasses but I think were gonna be ok. I just think K/State is a little full of themselves a little to quick , YES they are doing really well and I know that place will be insane Tuesday - I just think their gonna be dealt reality - - not quite there yet. It might sound crazy but I’m not NEARLY concerned about our 5 as I was. KJ is just so athletic incredibly strong , can defend really well almost all 5 positions. I think yes KJ might be some liability on the defensive end, but he can cause problems on the other end too - -we shal see Iowa State ?- -were gonna have to strap it up - they are really good defensively , this league is just a monster - -no gimme’s Watching TCu - -Texas last night and just thinking Dam this league is just a real meat grinder. TCU hda a 18 point lead - -they look pretty dam good even though they wasted their lead away - -they look aggressive/quick - -Texas showed mojo. - -Every time out gonna nbe a war

  @wissox Every game is unique though. Just look at this year’s KU basketball, almost every game comes down to the wire. Oklahoma just almost beat us at home, were up 10 with like 5 minutes left. Oklahoma lost to Sam Houston St. earlier this year. Does that mean we aren’t CBB tournament quality or don’t deserve to be highly ranked because we win close games against teams with less talent? I like to think TCU definitely proved they deserved to be there seeing that they were the only team all year to beat Michigan who smashed Ohio State who barely lost to Georgia.

  Houston’s schedule looks pretty light. They should win out. KU will get more quality wins, but likely picks up a few Ls along the way. Will be hard to achieve the regular season #1 ranking. Oh well better just focus on that little 6 wins takes it tournament in March.

  @FarmerJayhawk said in 247's Draftable List (NBA Draft): Jalen as a 1st round guy is a take. I love Jalen but I don’t really see much of a NBA career for him. Feels like the perfect 2-way guy for a bad team trying to lose games without ACTUALLY throwing games.

  @dylans We can use all available tools to create a chip for this team. It is so hard to come back from a Nattie and perform well. We definitely have the talent and coaching to go far this year but it is going to take being a very hungry team to maximize potential.

  @wissox I wonder if some of it has to do with how much bigger Jalen is this year. He always is aggressive and he’s able to take contact a lot easier this season where in the past he might have sold the contract easier for a foul. It’s been a developing issue I’ve been seeing. Jalen has been on the refs a lot this season and imo rightfully so

  This team has a tremendous amount of momentum going into conference. Since that loss, we have won every game by an average margin of 24.4 ppg. I think we’re built to win. The floor in conference is 14-4.

  @DCHawker said in B12 Non-Conference Performance: The non-conference schedule has mostly wrapped up. The B12 has again demonstrated that it is the best conference top to bottom. There are no bad teams, which is not something that any other conference can claim. All B12 teams are ranked in the top 52 on KenPom. Collective record at this point: 96-19 for a 83% winning percentage. Having said that, without going back and comparing games from the past few years, my sense is that the B12 hasn’t been quite as strong this year as in past years, but that is at the margins. I don’t recall that any conference had any bad losses last year, but there are at least 3 this year - NW St., Sam Houston, and SIU (although all 1 point games). And, the B10 and SEC arguably have a better collection of really top tier wins, although the B12 does have a few. All B12 teams have at least one quality win, with the exceptions of TTU and OSU. And, 15 of the 19 losses would all qualify as “good” losses. KU Quad 1 wins are Duke, Wisconsin, Mizzou and NC State. Best wins for others: KSU - LSU TCU - Iowa, Providence, Utah UT - Gonzaga, Creighton (?) WVU - FLA Baylor - Gonzaga, UCLA ISU - UNC, Villanova, St. John’s OU - FLA, Ole Miss The question is whether the B12 is as strong at the top this year? Is the SEC the strongest at the top - Alabama, Arkansas (at least without the injuries), Tennessee, Auburn, and Kentucky? Right now, Sam Houston is ranked 20th in NET rankings so based on quadrants, they’re considered a quality loss right now. Also, you missed Indiana as a quad 1 win for KU.
