  @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

  @Texas-Hawk-10 I’m math challenged! So yes, Kstate I’d be fine with them not making the dance!

  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.

  Not at all what I expected. Listless, and can’t hit a three to save their souls. Was thinking about last night when Eastern Illinois was a 31-point dog and still managed to beat Iowa on the road. Harvard’s “only” +21 and playing us even so far.

  Still basking in the glow from the beat-down of Mizzou… This may last a few more days. Those photos of the Mizzou crowd are Hallmark card material. Warms my heart.

  @jayballer67 said in Coach Brown stepping down at Memphis: Red this Morning , that Coach Larry Brown is stepping down at Memphis as advisor for Health reasons. - Although said not to be serious , hope it’s not. Pretty special guy, if you remember HE is actually the one who got us started back on the right track. - He will always be a part of the KU family Late Night with Larry Brown! The best.

  @drgnslayr said in Over Under: @jayballer67 I’m horrible at predictions and always feel like I’m jinxing us… so I won’t predict. But I will say I won’t be shocked at any kind of result today. On paper, the Tigs look formidable… but the reality is they’ve only played cupcakes. Let’s see how they react when they get hit in the mouth! I feel sure we will, at least, do that today! My perspective on the worst case scenario will be if they are as good as their current stat line says and we come out looking lost and playing soft and rusty because we haven’t played for a while and our guys have had a week+ of court education by Self and staff. We might come out “thinking” too much and that usually means slow reaction time and sluggish. My perspective on the best case scenario is the Tigs can’t matchup against a legit team and they freak when getting punched in the nose… while our guys show a lot of poise and better play making and basketball IQ. Last… it could be a game of both scenarios above, going back and forth. I tend to think this is likely because of the rivalry and our ranking versus their desire to be ranked. I believe this will probably come down to a game determined by possessions. Will we rebound well enough to win? Will we limit TOs? We could sure give away a lot of points if they score well on a bunch of TOs! It goes without saying… this game will be determined by Dajuan! Thats one of the reasons I said ya look at who they have plays. -Those stats can be skewed from the people they have played , plus the one thing also is we are grabbing like 5 more rebounds per then they are. The biggest concern I have is the enviroment and how the players will handle it. NONE of these guys have played in the Missouri /Antler enviroment. - it’s gonna be loud - -it’s gonna be nasty. - -STRAP EM UP BOYS

  @BShark said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion: I picked a good game to go to for the first time in awhile. Went through the thread this morning, good stuff. If Udeh can just consistently screen and learn the defense he can really help us this year. That might be a lot to ask but he is physically imposing. You know if he could get free for 3-4 lobs a game , would be ok for now. - - Giving us 8 a game , let him feed off lobs this season , get him to work on some kind of shot during his of off season We could live with that for this season - -play some solid defense - -watch him develop
