Well I guess you can try to look at this positively, it was just a terrible week for top ranked teams, maybe not quite as bad – it was bad , but losses everywhere

I do not consider losing on road to a decent conference foe as an upset
-
@AsadZ I think thats an upset. We had no business losing to that team.
-
Chaotic week for the Top 10ish. Gonna be like that every week perhaps too.
We should not have lost to UCF. It was also considered a Quad 1 loss for the NET. They do have a Top 20 defense with a well-respected coach, we didn’t give them proper respect either. This was their conference home opener (first game in Big-12) and their home court environment is legit (very unexpected). I watched them battle BYU to the end Saturday with a chance to win and their fans helped that comeback as well. I was expecting to see a half dead place after winning their super bowl but their fan support is much better then I thought. They might be most athletic team in the league.

very athletic

@wissox Is UCF a decent team, not yet, so I concur that KU loss was an upset.
-

UCF isn’t a decent conference foe. They’re a bottom 3 Big 12 with OSU and WVU and this isn’t a Big 12 where every road game is a Quad 1 match up. WVU isn’t far off from being a Quad 4 game and KU’s game in Stillwater tomorrow is barely a Quad 2 game, almost a Quad 3 game.
-
We have 8 conference members in the top 25. Houston and Iowa State are looking like a real problem. If someone can go through this with just three losses it would be amazing. If we lose one you can reasonably be assured of other top teams getting beat at at least the same rate. If we can avoid the dreaded under 30 point 1st halves we will win our share of low or high scoring games. The Furph will probably astonish us a few times but as rookies go it will be inconsistent.
-
At the moment the UCF game is a quad 1 loss
-
@AsadZ Your post made it look like you thought it wasn’t an upset. Sometimes I have trouble figuring out what someone is responding to on here!
-
Houston is ranked 5th in the country and is in 7th place in our conference.
-
Big-12 meat grinder
-
I haven’t watched anyone but KU play more than 10 minutes this year. Based off of resume I’d say UNC is a bit over-rated. How does the eye test look? Is UConn fully healthy now? KU’s resume is under valued. They’ve played (and beaten) many of the top teams with more on the schedule. I’d say that KU has as good a shot as anyone of cutting down the nets, but is far from dominant. - Would really like to wind back time and steal a win against Marquette to see how KU looked against Purdue!
-
Saw on the scores scrolling by that the KU women got their asses handed to them tonight losing by 35 to Texas. I know they upset Baylor over the weekend, but this season has been a disaster for KU. This looking like another season in which KU won’t make a post season tournament which would be the 7th time in his 9 seasons that KU has failed to make any postseason tournament. He’s made 1 NCAA Tournament and 1 WNIT in his first 8 years. Why is that acceptable?
KU women have made 3 NCAA Tournaments in the past 20 years. Our football program has more bowl appearances in that time. There’s no reason why this program shouldn’t make it to the NCAA Tournament most seasons with the resources they have, but instead KU has been one of the least successful major conference programs of the past 25 years.
-
U think losing Nooner has hurt?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t think Schneider is a good coach at this level. At this rate, we’re looking at failing to reach a postseason tournament in 7 of his 9 seasons.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree
-
I thought Nooner might have made a difference last year.
-

He probably was the biggest reason for the two good seasons Schneider has had here.
-
I side with @Texas-Hawk-10 i think it’s time to move on from Schneider. He’s had 9 seasons to do something with this program and this on paper was good team returning several key players from an NIT championship. Zero reason not to get an at large bid for the NCAA tournament.

Ya unfortunately I must agree. I’ve tried to stay on the ship with Coach S but just not excusable. - -Three Super Seniors come back for this Season , coming off winning the WNIT, & I’m sure they thought there would be a better outcome. Jackson , Franklin , & Kirksgeiter - -plus our 5* freshman who has been in the starting lineup from day one - - He just hasn’t got the production/results. -I mean ya have had some stiff competition , U Conn , Virg Tech , Texas & K State - understand, and yete we caught a glimpse of what this team could be when we just kicked $ 4 Baylor’s ass.
He is just not getting it done. With the talent he has, he has a pretty solid bench,- just not working anymore, time for a change
-
Texas loses at home to UCF 77-71. Does it make the loss by KU any better?
-
@Gorilla72 wvu beat Texas too, crazy!
-
@Gorilla72 it makes me feel better when Texas loses. UCF I don’t think is that terrible of a team, I could see a scenario where they finish 10 or 11th in this league. WVU and Ok state look really bad. Texas hasn’t looked impressive at all since league play started.
-
Looking like Houston is gonna even up their record and place a 4 way tie atop the standings.
-
just like haas been said this league is brutal, absolute blood bath. you better be ready , your A game every night out or your taking the L
-
Look at UCF beating Texas at Texas, not as bad a some thought it was - -ANYTHING is possible in this league
-
@jayballer67 Too bad Beard is a horrible human being. He has Miss. playing at a high level. Would’ve enjoyed those matchups against Texas.
-
Speaking of Texas, did anyone see where Rodney went off on the UCF players in the hand shaking line about them doing the horns down signal?
Wait til he gets to the sec! There’s more on their post game on espn, just can’t play sound now.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Was just coming here to say that. I’m still upset we lost to them. I’m still upset they’re in our league to be honest.

-
The whole horns down deal is funny to me. First off win the dang game in which you led by 16 points at home to an inferior team. Secondly if teams aren’t supposed to do horns down, shouldn’t you stop the horns up?

Dawkins said he would review it and if any thing needed to be done then he would take care of it
Wondr what he would of thought when Chew Kennedy and Oklahoma won the championship in the phog and that group how they acted and cutting our nets down after the game
-
How much time do you all expect Izzo to stick around? I watch a lot of BIG ball of course and I’m just shocked to turn on a game and see them struggling like they are right now with a team like Minnesota. Izzo has had some well publicized confrontations with kids who are increasingly getting under his skin and dissing him. Shocking really to see because a younger Izzo just had utmost respect from his players. He’s 68 years old, hanging on longer than most of his peers, but I suppose the thirst to win another ring keeps him pressing on.
-
@wissox And as I’m just finished Izzo gets T-d up, in a game against Big 10, worst non conference schedule low life Minnesota.
-
I don’t think Self would want our players doing that to their players. Now fans, thats different. Somebody wrote about it reminded them when coach K did that to Dillion brooks, exactly my thoughts! Of course, he lied! Rodney also said sh!t. Wasn’t he pushing religion on the players too, at TT? To many transfers including coaches, for me to keep up. @wissox i don’t like Izzo, to many cover ups there.

He is sounding like a coach that is about to retire. Just the way he is talking in press conferences he sounds exhausted and over it. I said the same thing about Saban in September.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 What do you mean cover ups?
-
Memphis loses a home game to 135 ken pom South Florida. I’ve been trying to figure out why Memphis is a trendy FF pick right now. Guess I got my answer. Memphis has four wins against ranked teams, none of whom are ranked anymore.
-
@wissox the rapes that happened awhile back
-
Terrence Shannon got an injunction giving him the right to play again.
-
Badgers lose to Indiana 53-52…in the 2nd half. Yes that was the 2nd half score and this is not your Badger team of old obviously. Badgers beat them for the 20th straight time in the Kohl Center. Indy isn’t that bad, but they just look bad, trailing by 23, having a guy ejected for the 3rd time in the last 4 games for a flagrant foul. Indiana twitter is in full meltdown.
-
@wissox Indiana is on my list of 5 most despised bb programs.
In no particular order:
Duke, Indiana, Memphis, Kentucky, Texas
KSU used to be but when they got rid of Squeaky they got an automatic 5 year release for good behavior. Same thing happened to Indiana when they got rid of Bobby Knight, but Sampson put them back into the depths. Texas is there just…because.
Duke never fired K so they have not earned their way out even though he is gone.
Memphis and UK… the definition of cesspools.
-
@mayjay I liked Bobby Knight. The hires since have been bad with Sampson corrupt, Creen inneffective, and miller a jerk. Woodson doesn’t have it either, but as a BIG fan, I’ve always thought it’s good for the league.
Agreed on your axis of evil, except I would add Iowa and Minnesota to it!
-
When Boeheim was at Syracuse, they were in the mix.
Not a big fan of the Arkansas coach, or the Oregon coach that beat us. Both seem like asshats.
-
@approxinfinity Any coach that beats us is an asshat!
-
Jordan Bells postgame interview after the Oregon defeat lacked any semblance of grace. And i dont think the apple fell very far from Dana Altman’s tree.
-
Would have to be pretty frustrating if you were shooting 67 % from the field and almost 81 % from the three and only be up by three over Baylor in the 1st half, for Texas.-- Texas has hit like 9-11 threes in the first have but Baylor I think is 8-10 lol
-
Watching a bit of St. John’s vs Marquette this morning. Zuby has looked pretty good thus far, didn’t start but had some good plays on both ends.
