Hurley was a phenomenal hire.
If one of the freshman bigs can get it together for us so we can match up against size we have a shot. Otherwise we will need some help from the selection committee.
We did well against size yesterday, but that IU team looked poorly coached. That won’t happen against a Purdue or Kentucky.

I hate the fact they’re so good. Their fans are literally elevating them to heights unforseen in human history. We might as well hand them the title because Kenpom says so…lol.
-
KU is elite. We shall see what we have on the road in conference play but I really love the chemistry of this group. They get it.
-
Self has imo ascended even more. He’s been running laps on coaches. Give him 7 days to prepare for anyone and your not beating him

Yeah Woodson is not it but it is too soon for them to move on from him. Probably a few more years of purgatory at least.
I think KU is legit a top 10 team for sure despite all the concerns. CBB is mostly down as a whole.

It is unbelievable the beating Cal is taking on Rupp Rafters. - -I was talking with a friend and said with all the talent Cal has had he has done the least with that talent.
My friend brought up a good point and I agree 100 % - He has all these 5 * and they come in and all individuals - not team concept - in High School it was all about me , me , me - haven’t or won’t adjust - -you have a group of 5 individuals not team.
Coach Self might not get quite as talent but he develops players much bettr. - Example look at McCormick from his Freshman year to last year in the NCAA tourney - I’ll stay with the players and Coach we have
-
@jayballer67 Cal said himself the main goal of UK basketball is NOT national championships but getting players drafted. He’s got the #1 recruiting class next year so they are stuck with him until at least 2025. No Roy, No K, Cal is obsolete, we truly are blessed to have Self as our coach.

I’m watching UConn and Georgetown ya haha. Would be a huge upset

Lady Jay Hawks up to # 20 in the Nation in this weeks poll. - - -10 - -0 . - - Actually KU Ladies is the 2nd highest rated team from the Big 12 in the Nation right now.
Iowa State is 14th-- -KU is 20th ---- -Oklahoma is 23 rd - - -& Baylor is 24th - -Not to bad Ladies
Time guys for us to stand up - -be proud of our women - -ROCK CHALK -
-
Iowa State has cancelled their game for tonight and the women tomorrow or the other way around - -but either way they cancelled their game because of the storm.
They said the two Schools both believed it was the best thing to do , giving the athletes a chance to get out early and be able to get home and spend time with family over the holiday.
Just like I/we have said - -think this is the best thing to do - -& I think it will happen. - -Iowa State said their game wouldn’t be r-scheduled
-
Miami is punking Virginia right now.
-
GREAT day for the SEC : Miss St loses to Drake, Wofford beats A & M, N Alabama beats Ole Miss.
-
Baylor only put up 58 points on Northwestern State at home. 58-48 final. Watched this one and KU is 7-10 points better then them right now, at minimum.
-
Oregon lost to Utah Valley at home. Now 7-6. Wonder if Altman will be on the hot seat…

OH MY GOD IOWA
That is the largest spread upset in the history of college basketball. The line was -31.5 Iowa.
Glad it happened to Iowa and Fran McCaffrey.
Edit: Eastern Illinois is 356 KenPom
-
Frantastic!
-
Still haven’t heard or seen anything about the Ladies tonight - -OR the guys tomorrow night . - Ladies surpose to tip off in 15 minutes AT NEBRSKA would think it would be cancelled but heard nothing.
As far as I know guys are still on tomorrow night - -anybody hearing anything ?

Self said yesterday “we know it’s going to be cold, but cold never called off a basketball game”
-
@BeddieKU23 Haha!! Was going to come here and gloat, but ya’ll gloating for me!! Hilarious loss.
-
Thanks for adding the icing on the cake.
Guy has some of the most puzzling defeats almost every year. Their fans must be joyed with him
-
Well our Ladies took their 1st loss to Nebraska tonight at Nebraska - - 85 - - 79 in 3 overtimes. - -Just couldn’t gt that one stop when needed.
We trailed by as many as 13 - -fought back and it was on from their. - -Nebraska really good. - Hadn’t lost at home -beat the crap out of Maryland by 20 plus and are 10-3 now, Nebraska had been ranked earlier this year. - -Still really proud of the Ladies took 3 overtimes to gt beat - - Still doing good ladies - - MERRY CHRISTMAS - ROCK CHALK
-
@BeddieKU23 Their fans love him, well at least most it seems. They have an overdeveloped sense of their teams skill level. Last year was kind of hilarious. Both Iowa and UW were picked to finish in the lower half of the league. While Greg Gard turned a pick of finishing 1oth into a tie for the league, Iowa turned a pick of finishing 9th into 4th and earning a bye in the BIG tournament. While Gard was hands down the winner, many Hawkeye fans Fran should have gotten it for his ‘accomplishment’ of earning a bye. And they were serious. I’m glad I’m not a homer like that!
-
Arizona State got absolutely wrecked by San Francisco tonight. Losing by 44 with 4:35 left
-
Dons may have scored more in the first half than ASU will score the entire game
-
Well…Looky here: “The win marked Eastern Illinois’ fourth in program history over a Power Five opponent and its first since taking down Missouri nearly six years ago to the day on Dec. 16, 2016.”
-
Oof this is gold
-
Big 12 went 4-0 last night. TCU beat Utah in a close one on the road and K St held the mighty Radford Highlanders at home to an 8 pt win. Iowa St’s game was canceled against Peyton Manning’s favorite word at the line or scrimmage.
Lots of blowout wins from the top 25 last night

We did drop 2 spots in the rankings after humiliating them last week, so you might be on to something…
-
Juwan Howard got into it at the UNC game last night, which UM lost. He yelled at his players after they pulled him away from screaming at a ref. Really?
-
Star Arkansas Freshman Nick Smith, considered a Top 5 prospect for the NBA draft is out indefinitely with a knee injury. They are calling it “knee management”. Full on protect the goods mode it seems. 2nd major injury for Arkansas

I watched a bit of that game, the refs were not good. That was a physical game the refs were letting get out of control.

Mizzou up 66-36 on 16th ranked Illinois. In basketball.
What in the world
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich My complicated sports world includes Illinois as that’s where I grew up and while I will pull for them this program is a constant disappointment. One of the greatest states for producing talent and it continues to endure embarrassments like this. I was excited for the Brad Underwood hire, but not thinking he has what it takes.
Last spring when I was in the United Center for the elite 8 and they were announcing the players and coach after we won a lady screamed “F… You Bill Self”. I think Illinois fans recognize he was the one who was going to lead them to the promised land and they’re still bitter about losing him.
But as bad as Mizzou looked against us, this result is just a shocker tonight.
That being said there’s lots of shockers going on in college hoops this year. If you just look up through this thread there’s plenty of evidence of a sort of parity in our great game.
-
Little known factoid that says alot: I guess where the Dook’s basketball offices are set up, they have an entire floor for Coach Rat, and their new coach Scheyer has a little cubicle.
-
Is Mizzou good?
I mean i knew UK would struggle because their best PG is Wheeler, but damn. Maybe they shouldn’t have shoo’d off Keion Brooks
-
I’m actually serious, is the Calipari era coming to an end at UK?

So probably not then

Pretty good question to ask. I think he needs some kids to move on and we all know the who’s.
I’m wondering if they will get it together later on but so far it hasn’t looked good. I’m certainly not going to complain as his failure to win adds more separation in the all time win total

I mean I’m a big fan of them keeping him. I’m not sure anyone has ever squandered more talent in the history of basketball.
