@Texas-Hawk-10 we will find out Monday I’m taking Houston by 13 right now maybe more.
-
Now our game against Houston is meaningless
-
Bilas this morning praised KU's chances for a Final
Four if DP plays extended minutes. We were all fooled. -
7:17 left it was a 3-point game.
Still within one possession with ~7 minutes left. Then, an avalanche.
-
@bskeet they hit couple of 3s and it just broke us. This loss will either teach us a lesson or cripple us. With that type of effort, KSU will win in the Phog.
-
The radio listening to post really called out the fans for a lazy and the atmosphere lacking much of the game.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 You mean the Wine and Cheese crowd showed up for an afternoon game.
-
@JoJoAndMe it was a very laid back crowd at the Utah game as well. Too many old people that ain’t loud. That Utah game was comparable to games I’ve went to beating Holy Cross and Miami of Ohio by 50. Easily the quietest conference game I’ve ever been too.
-
Zona gives Houston it's only home loss since joining the Big 12.
-
@kjayhawks2.0 My question to that would be tell me exactly what Ku did to get the crowd really going. Cinn was in control of that game almost the entirely.
Evert time the crowd would even begin to sniff making any kind of noise Cinn would promptly come down post up in the lane and their big man or whoever just ate KU up -- -OR drain WIDE OPEN THREE NO REISTANCE AT ALL. I hope people aren't trying to blame this pathetic loss on the crows. They wasn't the reason we lost this dam game
-
Agreed. Any time the student section got amped up after a bucket, Cincinnati proceeded to immediately drill a 3 or make a bs fadeaway. Not a ton to cheer for in the second half
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 KU as we seen today is not good enough to be looking past anyone you talk about a crap show.
-
This S - - - show we saw today puts a person at a total loss for words. KU just seemed like for the longest time today felt like they could take over this game at any time they wanted. This was like the most non cholent , I just thought we were in trouble even at about the half way point in the first half, Peterson did not impress me at all , be he by far wasn't the only one who cost us this game--that was a team effort. Our Fog got turned into a pup, Trey was just out there, and if we can't start to find some solid three point shooters in the future it's going to be the same thing year , after year , after year,
They were projecting seeds in the pregame and they had KU as a three sed, if we are not careful were going to drop to a four seed for sure and then four sure another early exit meaning if we would win our first game then we would have the good fortune of playing the number one seed in our second game - - -WOO HOO
-
The psychology of our loss and Houston's loss are so different. I would be surprised if we even give them a battle Monday night.
-
Cincy deserves a lot if credit for sure

Yet, they were looking past Cincy today. Not the first it's happened to a team, and won't be the last time either.

Shake-your-head losses to WV, UCF and Cincinnati to go with shrug losses to Iowa State, UConn, Duke and UNC.
Gutsy wins against (at home) against Arizona and BYU and on a neutral floor vs Tennessee. Also guts wins (but near losses) @NC State, @TCU, @Texas Tech.
What does all of that mean?
I think, it means we are capable of beating anyone on our best day. But capable of losing to anyone with the slightest lack of focus. This team has top-tier talent but is not consistent mentally. It's a fragile team when undisciplined.
In years past, we have seen these kinds of teams in the SEC and ACC. The usually underachieved in the tournament... usually to a gritty team with less talent and more heart. Sometimes, that was us -- sometimes a mid-major.
