🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Have to say and all know I really get wrapped up in games , I cuss the guys call some names I didn't even realize I had in my vocabulary lol.

THEN after a cooling off period I realize I'm probably to hard on the kids. Just not use to losing, they have spoiled me - -spoiled us all. I mean 13 Straight yrs of Conference Championships , how many straight weeks in the top 25 ? - How many straight NCAA appearances ? - the last two references holds the record for longest in Nation - - that's how you get spoiled.

So we have this year , guys just aren't as good , not as Athletic however were not alone by any means. Here is a little something the other bluebloods suck this yr also, were actually better then some of them. Duke 7-6 and just showed tonight Duke 0-3 against Quad 1 Competition - - o-3 against Quad 2 Competition and has like a 20.5 % chance of even making the Tourney.

This Saturday will mark the 1st time since 1960 that when Duke & North Carolina play one another - - -neither will be ranked.

Look at Kentucky like 6-10 - -they are not making the tourney unless they just go insane - - - Hell Michigan State suck this year too , Michigan St scores 37 points can't shoot worth a dam - - 37 points against Rutgers - - Tonight the newly ranked # 9 Oklahoma had 18 points at Half against # 10 TT ugly ugly game.

Jerry Palm made a good point on CBS sports , talked about WHY KU was still in the rankings with 6 losses and how they are dropping in the Bracketology but dropping slowly , STILL in their latest bracketology KU is a # FIVE SEED 11-6 on the season and STILL a 5 seed. The Reason ?

KU is 4-5 against Quad 1 opponents big difference. - -just boils down to we are so use to all these wins , some blowouts - -good shooting then we have ONE year of a bad team not super bad but far from what we have had in past and we just can't seem to comprehend why it feels - looks so bad. The Reason - - Because were just not use to losing, of having this type of season - -just are not use to seeing the guys struggle. It comes from being spoiled - - were KU that just doesn't happen SPOILED - I know I have realized I have - - I know I'm not the only one here that hasn't been. -- Better times coming - -stay strong my friends, we will get through this. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAB Y

@jayballer67 We will be okay, my friend. With who we have coming back and coming in (and the NCAA bullshit hopefully being resolved by then), we'll be fine. With all that has transpired for going on three years now, I would argue that the past three recruiting classes have been the most important of any that we have ever had.

Seen something that we can think about the next time we are feeling down and wanting to bag on the guys I reckon.

Gary Parrish from CBS sports saying or welcoming KU back to the rankings already, saying we are already back in statistical ranks Ken Pom at 25th, was back in them Tuesday after Monday Nights game.

Parrish made the statement and you really sit back and seriously look at it - - he is right. Parrish stated that The Jayhawks body of work was never as bad as some wanted to make it out to be. Per CBS Sports saying KU is ONE of just 14 teams with ZERO losses outside the first Quadrant games. - -so maybe we need to just relax lighten up a little and realize things could be a lot worse. Things just seem magnified because we just not use to losing like this in a Season - - Again a lot of this comes from being spoiled me included. -- we need to step back from the edge of the cliff and breathe deep things will get better.

Could be like the UK fans. read from a poster and he had to be a KU fan, saying that he hoped Kentucky fired Cal and that way Cal could come and be the next Coach at KU after Bill left or couldn't Coach because of Show Cause - - I have to say PASS on that one. - - - - Thing is a lot of Kentucky posters said we were welcome to him, so many want him fired /ran out lmao - -don't bring him here

Yeah. My smarter half made me think about it after the WV loss... We lost to a ranked opponent on their home floor. We fought, didn't lay down. We have a good number of quality wins. I think it's debatable whether we should have dropped out of the top 25. I'm not arguing we shouldn't have. Just that the case could be made that we were still top 25 after that loss.

While we are all feeling the lowssssss.... guess there are other teams feeling even lower....

I shouldn't be such an asshole... but this fall from grace is almost worth it as we watch the rest of college elites.

I really got a chuckle on this... Cal's own son transfers from UK! Ha... you can't make this sh*t up!

now - - THAT'S FUNNY lmao

"We are ultimately careful with every one of our players and will continue to support Jalen as he progresses toward his goal of playing professional basketball," Krzyzewski said in the release. (then why not release the entire team for the draft? lol)
