How good is Baylor?? I really thought 3 was the magic number of losses that would win the conference. That number maybe 2 or even 1 at this point. We can ill afford a loss at this point. I realize we are one game short of half way but KU and Baylor look so much better than the rest of conference right now. I also realize we only won by 3 today but I still think the laughable call on Dot made it a one possession game instead of likely a 8 point win.
-
@kjayhawks plus Doke was a no show and Tech shot above their heads from three. All things considered I think Tech is a good match up for KU.
The tiers are definitely
KU/Baylor
Tech/WVU
Trash heap
-
Honestly the league should only get four bids this year.
-
@BShark I agree

It’s all they are getting unless a team like OU turns it up.
Tech has 8 losses but likely will get in outside of a major collapse. If they get a home win over KU that probably seals the deal too
-
I think it’s going to take 16-2 to get a piece of the conference title this year and I’m not sure KU can do that with still having to go to Baylor, Tech, and WVU. They would need to beat Baylor and then split those other two all while not slipping up anywhere else.
-
I like that KU is being pushed by a conference team for a change.
-
@dylans we did lose last season as well
-
@kjayhawks only because Doke got hurt imo
Okie lite is the only thing preventing Bruce from going first to worst
-
This weekend was just another perfect example to a wild and crazy basketball weekend.
There were EIGHT ranked to that got beaten by an UNRANKED team this weekend : # 8 , # 10 , # 11 , # 14 , # 16 , #21 , # 23 , #25 - - - -then you have # 13 Kentucky being beat by a lower ranked # 17 Auburn. – Then you have the # 2 ranked Gonzaga team which I feel is for sure over ranked - about got their butts handed to them by an UN-Ranked San Francisco team.
Have a feeling where if you want to call it - -this would be the perfect season where you could very well see a lower seeded team making a serious run in the NCAA tourney – just no dominant team
-
@jayballer73 our boys are the dominant team you’re looking for. If we do more of what we do well. If we get a couple more losses and end as a 5 loss team I everyone will be all in on us
-
@approxinfinity KU and Baylor might be the two best teams tbh

Last years team sucked though. This years squad is pretty good and getting pushed. It’s good.
-
How much longer is Brandon Schneider going to coach the women? KU is just lost by 12 in OT after blowing a 22 point halftime lead to fall to 1-8 in B12 play. -34 in 25 minutes in a conference game against a bottom third team in the conference.
This is by far the worst hire that Zenger made because at least Beaty left the football program in better shape than what he inherited which is really what he was hired for. Schneider inherited a program that was at least competitive in the B12 and has managed to sink the program to depths lower than the football program. After today, he’ll be 6-58 in B12 games in 5+ seasons as coach. That’s a 9% winning percentage.
There’s absolutely zero reasons for Schneider to still be coaching this program because it’s not getting any better in year 5.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 it had better happen after this season.
-
@BShark I really don’t understand why it didn’t happen after last season.
I’ve also been of the opinion Price has needed to go from baseball for several years as well.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think part of it is he is a lot less visible due to low interest among the fan base/alumni. Agree he has been absolutely embarrassing, I don’t expect greatness but competence would be nice.

Spent so much on football that basketball had to wait a year from what I heard
-
I’ve never been much for the whole fire-the-coach mentality, but when a team goes undefeated in non-conference, then wins only one game after that, there’s got to be something there. Can’t blame it all on a young team.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ya I think it’s time for a new women’s basketball coach and a new baseball coach. Price is only still here because he is well respected and liked by boosters. I think Long was focused on football and the new softball coach. I see the hammer coming down this season. I truly don’t believe Beaty helped in any way shape or form but he didn’t do anything negative I suppose.
-
@kjayhawks KU football has been only a handful of plays away from being bowl eligible the past two seasons. That’s far superior to what KU was when Beaty inherited that mess from Weis when KU was lucky to keep a game within 20 against any FBS team. Beaty built a solid foundation for Miles to come into and the cupboard was nowhere as bare when Beaty left as when he got here.

Schneider plays loads up on the worst of the worst teams in non conference and then when they play a real team, they get smacked back into reality.

Neither team has made a 3-pointer in this game between Duke and Boston College with 12:00 minutes left in the 2nd half. The two teams are a combined 0-26 from 3 right now.
-
Boston College is horrendous at basketball
-
Michigan St lost at home to Penn St. Now 16-7 but the media still loves them. Izzo in his post game was blasting Social Media for what people say to his players. “he’s sick of it”.
-
@BeddieKU23 Izzo doesn’t get enough shit for his teams underperforming in the regular season.

He has immunity. Just how it goes. Same goes for the other media darlings
-
@BeddieKU23 speaking of bad losses how did Clemson beat Duke? Watching Clemson va Uva. It’s 35-34 with minutes left in game. Two really bad offenses.
-
Watching the return of Bobby Knight to Indiana. Lots of hugs and standing O’s. All is forgiven on both sides?
He doesn’t look too good. Has he been in ill health?
Couldn’t stand him as a coach. (One of my favorite KU memories was when I came back to Lawrence for the holidays for the KU-IU game. Jacques Vaughn hit a buzzer-beater in overtime for the win.) Appreciated him as an analyst, though.
-
Mountaineers losing at OU by 12 right now. If that holds it’ll set up a rebound game for West Virginia at home against KU. Yay.

well Oklahoma not doing us any favors. Just going to make WV that more PO’D we going to have to be at our best for sure. - -wasn’t going to be easy anyways we best be ready
-
OU has 17 turnovers and WV had 27 more shots!! Somehow OU won by double digits… crazy
-
I dunno , Texas Tech is just not the same as last year for sure. - - Texas Tech just flat taking it to them. Tech already with ten turnovers just barely half way through the fist half Tech down 22-8

Home crowd was lit, Stanley was in foul trouble and Clemson had their super bowl
-
Texas Tech just manhandled Texas in the second half. Great adjustments from Beard and of course Shaka was clueless.
-
@BeddieKU23 well so much for osu!
-
-
I dont know if I have disliked a player as much as I do Mark Vital and he is only a Jr.

Tied 51-51! For selfish reasons I hope Baylor wins. It’d be sweet to beat #1 on their home court late in the season. Other shoe drops lol
-
@dylans no!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 No why? Baylor being ranked #1 is good for the Big12. Winning the Big12 isn’t the main goal for KU, but if Kansas wins out they win/tie any way. Plus it puts the bulls eye on them and allows KU ranked #2/3 to be the underdog
-
Also chuckling about Duke losing to 10-12 UNC late in the game. Rivalry games
️
-
What’s up with Duke and UNC’s uniforms today? I just got home from Ft. Worth and turned the game on and it looks like they’re wearing practice jerseys. Did anyone see/hear the explanation for those unis tonight?
-
-
FT’s may end up costing UNC. 14/28 so far, should be up double digits for UNC if they could hit FT’s.
-
FT’s are gonna cost UNC this game. They were 17/32 in regulation.
-
Them Baylor refs are sure special
-
KSU with 5 points in 8-1/2 minutes against the defensive powerhouse that is ISU…
-
Dukes refs finally got their check
-
Jeez
