Other Games 2025-2026

@Jayhawk_69 those teams were absolutely terrible and really had zero shot of not only winning the conference but going anywhere in March. The B12 is so good this year I think finishing in the top 3 or 4 says you are a solid ball club. The last two years I believe we finished 6th or 7th in the final standings and never really competed for the conference crown. You also left out the 2004 Jayhawks that got second in the conference. That team made the elite 8 and lost in OT to Georgia Tech thanks to some bogus fouls Called on Langford.

@wissox83 said in Other Games 2025-2026:
2023 was Arkansas and a choke job. Last year was Arkansas also.
But I really think this team is built differently than those years that ended badly. They've got a large dose of toughness in their DNA and it's gonna get us deeper into the tournament than we've been doing. I firmly believe that.
I don’t really count 2023 because having Bill on the sidelines is worth more than the one point we lost by. I was so mad Dick drained a 3 and then was pulled to not play for several minutes by Roberts after he looked to start rolling.

This year there are five starters who can get 15 and four that can get more than 20 on any given night. The balance bodes well (provided we stay balanced when DP is on the court).
There’s some bench depth with Jamari and ElMarko.
Plus I think this is the best shot-blocking team since 2022.
That said, I would not be surprised to see Arkansas in our bracket.

@bskeet they are trying to create a rivalry between the real Kansas and the pirate Kansas lol
-
UConn made a statement tonight beating #15 St. John's by 32 points, 72-40.
-
St Johns missed like 24 straight shots at one point. Man that's brutal
-
@BeddieKU23 That's not the half of it not only did they miss twenty four straight shots BUT they only made TWO--- -fricken TWO shots for the entire half , holy vow - --they went two fo twenty eight in the 2nd half
-
@BeddieKU23 Example: Our Cincy game in a nutshell. Guys just couldn't make a bucket.
-
Seventeen of Houston's 66 (26%) shots against Kansas came at the rim. The Cougars took 39 jumpers and shot just 23% on 'em, the second-worst showing this year according to Synergy.
-
oh my i didn't see that.
Guess it was in the water last night. My son had a basketball game, the first round of his end of year tournament and went 0-9 from the field. Good thing they still won by 17.
-
We definitely forced Houston into taking bad shots Monday for a good portion of that game.
-
@BeddieKU23 Coach's strategy for sure. He wanted to make them play worse than us and he wasn't happy in the beginning when he had to call time out. That's when the soft talk happened. LOL
-
Kudos to the gameplan defensively. When the defense is locked in like that they can beat anyone
-
UCONN held St Johns to 14 points in the 2nd half. They went 11 minutes straight without scoring. Hurley's a jerk but he's also the best coach in America I'm convinced.
