@KUSTEVE I was thinking the same thing driving in today. Silvio is going to have a good game.

@jayballer73 Agree that a 2 might not be that bad. Matchups are more important than a 1 line difference in seeding.
Marmalarde....dead! Neidermeyer....dead! I'm with you....Ahhhhhhhh!
@Crimsonorblue22 Trae Young.
Question: Will they really drop us down to a 2 based on the speculation that Doke won't play? I thought seeds were based on what you earned during the season?
@BShark Maybe he can come back after 10 days and play in the 2nd tourney game. We'll see.
@BShark Or we may have to try to beat an 8/9 seed without him. Doable, depending on who it is, but certainly not a given. I see more zone defense in our future.
@BeddieKU23 Smith kicked our butt twice.
@betterfireE Although that may not last............
@betterfireE One thing about Vick....it appears that teams at least have to respect his 3 pt shot. They are guarding him....they lay off of Garrett and it hasn't hurt them too much.
@HawkChamp But maybe we can switch it back on....
@HawkChamp I thought the switch had been flipped. Until yesterday....
@wrwlumpy I think as I predicted. Trae was so dominant the first half I think you put him on the team.
@jayballer73 We do not want MSU. I don't care if they just lost to Michigan. They are dangerous and are as good as any number 1 seed.
@wrwlumpy I think Trae will be on the team and not Z. Smith.

7 losses, still #1 seed? I just don't see it.
I agree. That does not compute.
Question: Self said that OSU is more athletic than we are at 4 positions and about as bad a matchup as we can get. If that is the case with OSU, which beat the B12 best teams, but still lost a lot of games........won't that be the case in the tourney somewhere? Then...aren't we in big trouble?
@BeddieKU23 Usually the refs remind them as to whether they can run the baseline or not.
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) :)

No mention of Lightfoot?
Oh man........that cracks me up.
@Hawk8086 I agree. I fully expect to play Mizzou assuming they win one game.
HighEliteMajor said:
Who wants to bet that somehow, some way, we are set up to meet MU in the 2nd round -- 1 vs. 8/9, 2 vs. 7/10? Seems like the easiest bracketology prediction we could make.
I agree. I fully expect that if we win one game and Mizzou wins one....we will play them.
@wissox Thanks for the update. I know it is cool to watch guys that we are recruiting, or even better, guys that have committed.
@KUSTEVE Yep. I was responding to the Kentucky speculation comment.
@BeddieKU23 The Big 12 standings sure are a jumbled mess. Will have to get out the tie breaker rules for (likely) multiple instances.
@dylans HEM was referencing regular season, I believe. But didn't MSU beat us twice the year we lost to them in the Sweet 16?
@jaybate-1.0 Now you're just being ridiculous!
@BeddieKU23 MAYBE the 3 pointer moving back...that would be it for me.
@BeddieKU23 I don't like it. Seems like change just to change things. I like things the way they are.
@mayjay The only reason I could think of is......$$$$$. 3 years of struggling, whether they are successful or not.....and he would make more than 10 years at FGCU
@JayHawkFanToo If all come back at KSU, it will be a good test for Brucey.....does he make the team better next year? I think he will. I think KSU will be pretty darn good.
@jayballer73 Absolutely. My cousin took us to a game against OU..Clifford Ray, Bobby Jack. That was a good year. And don't forget Kivisto!
@jayballer73 Those were good days. The next year Robisch, Brown, Stallworth went to the final four. A long time ago..........
@jayballer73 I hear what you are saying, but some people would say that Dedric is the best player on the team this year.
@jayballer73 I remember Cliff Meely! That was back when I just started to get into KU basketball.
@BShark So..........it never occurred to them it might be their very own?
@jaybate-1.0 LaCobra has just lost confidence. He hesitates, he short arms shots......he just needs to go for it!
Graham locked conference POY with this performance!
@Crimsonorblue22 You got that right, sister!
mayjay said:
I want to thank all the doubters. This team needed a chip!
You're welcome! :)
@wrwlumpy Going to have to get me a T shirt and a hat like that.
@KUSTEVE Amen to everything that you said!
Reminds me of Billy Ray Valentine in Trading Places......"What a happy day! What a happy day!
I am so happy I don't know what to do.
And we have history!
2 missed FTs give them a chance....need to get the ball in one time!
I'm sweating this until the buzzer sounds.......
OK up by 2 thanks to DG....they probably get 2 more posessions, and we get one more...
