Two losses and we’re already thinking about next year? Can we let this season play out?

@drgnslayr No…that’s the list of people that EAT at McDonald’s…:)

THAT is a big reason why we have reason to think we will be better next year. (Of course, if we’re being honest…there are a lot of guys that our team can’t guard)

I must say that Devon’s whole family looks great in Jayhawk attire!

@Blown I agree. He has earned a down year or two. We all have been spoiled by his success. His success is also his worst enemy. Oh…and if this is a down year…it’s a pretty darn good down year.

@nuleafjhawk Can we get his footprint on a letter of intent?:)

Graham locked conference POY with this performance!

Fellow Jayhawks: I have lived in another state for many years. I come back to the area about once a year to see family (not nearly enough). It took me a long time, but I finally made it back to see a game a few years back when we played USC (Selby’s first game) and the Michigan game (I forget which one was first). I missed a couple of years, but made it to the Georgetown game last year and I will be at the Lafayette game on Saturday. I can’t wait. I can’t explain the feeling I had while doing the Rock Chalk Chant. Unbelievable. Tears did not come to my eyes…but it was close. I feel so lucky that our basketball tradition is so rich and our program is so great. To be a part of the atmosphere at Allen Field House is hard to describe. I am lucky to have the life that I have with my family and I don’t regret moving away. But I am jealous of my old college friends who get to attend every game (or most anyway). So…don’t take what we have for granted. We’re all very lucky. RCJH!

I usually want the Big 12 to do well. But, I found myself rooting for ISU to lose and Baylor and Texas to win. I guess I’m bitter about ISU…and want them to be put in their place. Now we will have to listen to all the crap about the Big 12 being over rated. In my opinion, the performance of a team in the tournament does not necessarily say anything about how good of a team they are. How often in the regular season would UAB beat ISU? or Georgia State beat Baylor? Not very often. The tournament is a different animal… It is so hyped. These are still kids. The pressure on the favorite is so great. The under dog plays free and easy. There can be very little correlation between the regular season and NCAA tournament. We’ve see that with KU many times. I am going to be very PO’d listening to how the Big 12 was over rated. These 3 loses don’t say anything about the strength of the Big 12 (well, OK…the Texas loss might say something about how good they are…Butler probably beats them during the regular season).

I was fortunate enough to be in Toronto on business this week and went to Tuesday and Wednesday games. Justin Wesley was at the Tuesday game and last night I spoke to Keith’s dad. He said Keith continues to get love from Jayhawk Alums when he runs into them. Once a Jayhawk always a Jayhawk. Keith looked good. It was great to see that left handed shot again!

Heard Sallis isn’t super high on KU. Think we take Bates to play the Marcus Garrett spot and call it a day

Do you know why he is not high on KU?

@Kcmatt7 Wow. I did not realize that.

@Marco I normally would agree with you. But, if they really think he can contribute …and in my mind that means can he help our outside shooting…then I would say let him play. You have to go for a NC when you have the chance. That said, I recall that he looked pretty tentative in the pre-season? That would suggest that he would not be ready to really help. But we are all only guessing.

@BShark Isn’t the bigger issue that there are no outstanding teams this year? Apparently, at least, so far. That gives our flawed outside shooting team that plays good defense and has a big man that teams will always have to account for, as good a chance as anyone?

@HighEliteMajor The guy does so many things well…the only thing he doesn’t do that well is shoot from the outside. You can see that it does hurt us in that the defense doesn’t have to respect his shot. Positives far out weigh that one flaw. But agree it would be nice.

@nuleafjhawk I keep waiting for that to happen and it hasn’t. They have been consistently good all year for the most part, so I tend to think this Baylor team will be different. We can hope, though.

I still can t believe that we gave up 15 straight points to these guys. And we didn’t even sniff a basket during that time.

Just a brutal last few minutes. What shots we did get off were ridiculously bad.

14 pt lead…more like it.

OSU has stunk up the joint and we are only up by 8.
