  @JRyman Gosh… I think it is just too early for me to predict. I am liking some dark horses. For example… I know I am dreaming… but I’d like to see LSU win the SEC. Simmons is going to be great, but unfortunately, I think Kentucky’s Murray will counteract the effects of Simmons. There is a lot of talk about Indiana basketball. And can Maryland really hold up to the pressure of being a top-ranked team? I thought Duke looked horrible yesterday. I like Allen, and he was a total bust against size. I always considered him to be very athletic, but when watching him go up against the athletes of Kentucky, he looked slow and with little hop.

  @RockkChalkk we were 2 for 10 at one point in the game and as you said we missed several on our last possession. I do not believe we are a great three point shooting team when we are hoisting contested shots. I do believe we have a number of people who can light it up when they have their feet set and receive a pass. I saw several times last nite when BG wanted to hoist a shot but couldn’t because the defense closed out too quickly. I believe the three needs to be a viable part or our Arsenal… I do not believe we can expect the three to be our saving grace…especially against a team like MSU who is capable of playing solid man-to-man defense. Our best success will come from shots that are created as a part of a multi-faceted approach…high-low, dribble drive, etc…when the defense is forced to commit to stopping one attack at the expense of leaving another unguarded.

  @Crimsonorblue22 I amy have miseed something about Hunter’s game skills from last year - I remember he didn’t do much given his limited minutes. but of course in the WUG, he played very well - soI’m surmising that when every here is screaming for Hunter to play more, they are basing it on on his WUG results. so, we shall see as the season progresses. more random thoughts - how many times did Perry get blocked? Devonte must have been given the green light to shoot otherwise I’m guessing he would have been pulled after some of those wild shots.

  Was this Coach Self letting our veterans play to show them that they are not all that and a bag of chips? Was this his way of letting our veterans know that Vick and Bragg are hungry and ready to take their spots? What adjustments does Self make over the coarse of the next month to keep this from happening again? Will the starting roles and minutes be distributed to others due to this poor outing? Was letting our guys nose dive a wake up call? I am still scratching my head wondering WHY? Why didn’t Bragg and Mickelson play? Why didn’t Svi and Greene put on a 3pt clinic last night? What was the purpose of last night?

  Thanks to superstition I won’t be here for anymore games discussions. It’ all right though judging by the hand ringing and mud slinging from one loss in November. I remember when we used to talk about the great things that KU does…

  @Statmachine Duke looked just as bad as Kentucky looked good. But yes even Michigan St was smart to play its talent over everything. They sat tum-tum because he was ineffective on offense, our defense sagged off him and they bring in a shooter who daggers us with multiple 3’s. Smart subs right?

  @hawkmoon2020 The so called October Surprise is the standard go to line by all that did not like Reagan…and yet there is no evidence whatsoever that it ever happened as described.

  I avoided the rain and grilled my heart out. Everybody is happy, yet confused when I said it’s time to go home. They don’t get it. It’s game time and traditions must be practiced. Rock Chalk

  Great job, @JhawkAlum, regarding the myth of the '08 team. Every player on that team had some serious flaws at that point in their careers, but other players made up for it. Rush, Arthur, RussRob and Collins drove me nuts all that season. I kind of knew what we had with Sasha, Dammit Mario, and Jackson. But when those guys all put it together, they could move the ball around the court better than any team since. Look for some games on YouTube.

  @JayHawkFanToo Good thinking. I hope you are right. But we have not figured out how to use the buttons on the flat screen Sammie to negotiate this new cable interface that Comcast uses.

  @wrwlumpy This may be my favorite post ever. It combines my two favorite things on earth…Art and College Basketball. I also like that I 100% agree. How Jamari gets the minutes he does will never make sense to me. He is the prototypical “energy” guy you bring in off the bench.
