If both teams end up with the same record it is a tie and it is not a silly rule since it is used on all sports. The head to head result and other stats are used only for seeding in the conference tournament.

I could not care less if he gets run over and injured...he really is asking for it; however, I would hate to see a player injured when he runs into that area of the court not expecting any one there and running into this dumba$$.
My agreement was in regards to Gonzaga not being the overall number one. I think the overall number one will be between KU and Nova, they both have strong cases as of today....but things could change...
Yes. He played 2 seasons at Ole Miss, sat one at KU and is playing this season. If he graduates he can transfer and be eligible immediately.
Not only that but they did it while playing In 3 conferences not just one like KU.
Baby steps, Drew...baby steps. Try winning the League first before making bigger plans. Lose to ISU away and WVU at home and you finish 4th in the Conference. SMH.
The NCAA moved all the tournament games out of North Carolina because of the transgender bathroom...hmmmm?...issue?
Agree. They were the fourth #1 seed and probably will stay that way since it is highly unlikely the lose one game before the tournament; however, the weakness of their conference schedule hurts them big time.
He is gettin more brazen every game. Refs need to do something before a player gets injured.

So for those wondering why Baylor coach Scott Drew called a timeout in the final possession against Kansas instead of letting it play out, he gave an explanation. Drew said Manu Lecomte had hurt his ankle with seven minutes left and there was concern that if he had to go to a different option he wouldn't have been able to complete the play. Baylor wanted to get the ball to Johnathan Motley. But the play didn't develop the way it wanted out of the timeout and the side out of bounds. Drew said credit Kansas' defense.
Tying the all-time conference title streak and running away for the 13th with 2 other top 10 ranked teams should automatically qualify him for COY.
It has been done and it was not even close...a German player not ranked in the top 200 beat both sisters back to back... ↗
I am with @mayjay...I think...
Women's basketball teams playing Division I men's elite teams is silly, it would not be a contest.
Yep. Following on ESPN. OT in Morgantown...WVU about to blow another one...
Tech and WVU tied with 4 seconds left...
Close game at WVU, OT between Texas and KSU...
I told you guys...Baylor has Scott Drew so advantage KU.😇
Ended on an 8-0 run...amazing...
Hold at home is all that's needed now...
On a good note, KU finished the half with 2 straight 3s and we get the friendly rims in the second half...Baylor's turn to get the unfriendly rims.
I know and understand that Marshall is not popular here but when you look at what he has done at WSU, there is no question he is a very good coach.
KU in a close game in the low 70s...
Kid is fearless and brings endless energy. Can you imagine Lightfoot with Bragg's body?
Again, I am not saying is not a great accomplishment, it certainly is. What I am saying is that when you have such a superior team, top 3 draft pics as an example, and you are favored to win every game you play not by just double digits but by 30 or 40 points, it certainly indicates very weak competition and/or a huge talent disparity, wouldn't you agree? Again 70 games were decided by 30 or more point and only 2 out of 100 by 10 or less. I cannot recall a single game when KU was favored to win by 30 or more points and then lost, do you? or even a single game when KU was favored by 30 points, even against non division I opponents, do you? It just does not happen in men's basketball because even with programs like UK taking a chunk of top players, they never stick around for 4 years and the pool of talented players is considerably larger than that of talented women players.
No doubt that UConn has put together an incredible program, has gotten top players and the best coach and has dominated the sport. The net result is that being that much better than the rest makes the wins expected and in a way, they are victims of their own success. KU never had talent that was that much superior to the rest of the League or other opponents, in fact, some of the titles during the current streak were decided on the last game and against equally or more talented competition and with several loses along the way but with enough wins to win the conference title, many of those years playing in the strongest League in the sport.
I am not saying that you or anyone that believes this is a huge accomplishment is wrong, I am just saying that I see it differently for the reason I stated and I did not ask anyone to agree with me either. I respect your opinion, can you not respect mine in return?
You missed the part where I said...Yes, it is a long streak, yes, it is a big accomplishment...
But don't expect me to compare it to other great sports streaks. Do you think any coach or player, male or female, would say anything not laudatory about the streak? Not unless he is crazy since it would be the epitome or political incorrectness and a public relation's nightmare...who needs that. I have stated my case with numbers to prove my view, you think it is a huge accomplishment...we just disagree; can't we just leave it at that?
My boy Lightfoot is still adjusting to College ball; he will be a solid 4 year player. If he can provide 5-10 minutes of solid defense, a couple of rebounds and no turnovers per game this season I am happy; points, blocks and assist are a bonus.
My son regularly beat me in video games since he was very young given that I don't play them at all. I am sure my kid brother would have as well; good thing the only game we had back then was...PONG. :smiley:
Asked about suggestions that his full-court defense might not translate to the power conference level, Smart responded, "It translated pretty well a few years ago in San Antonio."
How about:
"How is that VCU experience translating, Shaka?
or:
Self giveth and Self taketh away...
How is that "Smart" move working out for you?
Did you read my original post? 70+ games were decide by 30 or more points, 56 by 40 or more points and only 2 by 10 points or less. When you have that much superiority, is it that big of a feat? When I was 18 I would beat my 10 year old brother 100 out of 100 times in just about any game we played...does it make it a big feat? Obviously not. When you have such an overwhelming superiority it is the expected result and not that big of a feat, wouldn't you agree?
You are kidding, right? Lots of simulations have been run to answer this question during the UConn run and even under the most favorable conditions, UConn against one of the worse men's teams, the men's team wins close to 90% of the time. An average AAU team beats a WNBA team all the time. UConn is at the level of a good men's HS team. Using men's rules is not even close...you know the women use a smaller ball, right?
Again, why are we even discussing this topic?
How did getting Ben Simmons and other ranked players worked out for LSU?
I will let the team know...
All KU has to do is win at home against TCU and OU and win one out of three on the road against Baylor, Texas or OSU and the worst it ends up is tied for the title; a win at Baylor and holding at home locks the title.
It is very much real, this is why he was expelled from Norte Dame.
Porter as a HC is not an option, with his college coaching experience consisting of 3 years as women's assistant coach at the dumpster fire we call MU and one year at Washington he is more qualified to coach JuCo than Washington.
If Washington wants to keep Porter Jr. the only option is likely Romar, unless they can bring in a big name coach that is willing to keep Porter Sr. on the staff and can talk Jr. into staying.
Why do are we even talking about this streak that is so full of fluff?
UConn has won that many games because they have overwhelmingly more talent than any other program. Teams are lucky to have a lottery pick but UConn has the top 3 picks in the draft, and we are not talking the OAD drafted on talent variety, we are talking about 4 year, proven players.
Let's see... during the streak, out of 100 games 56 were decide by 40 points of more and 70 by 30 points or more. How many games out of 100 do you think were decide by 10 points or less? Would you believe 2? Some kind of competition...
So, when we look at the streak in context and look at the competition and the talent differential, it is really not that impressive. Yes, it is a long streak, yes, it is a big accomplishment but it does not come close to comparing against other sports streaks that were played against comparable competition. Read this article ↗ and draw your own conclusions and now let's get back to discussing KU basketball.
Don't forget that Gotlieb's legacy includes getting expelled from Notre Dame for stealing credit cards.
What is this women's basketball sport you speak of?
Frankly, I don't worry to much, that is Coach Self's job, he gets paid plenty for it and more importantly...he always delivers and seldom disappoints.
Considering that you can take the king down only once but the king can continuously pound you...wouldn't you rather be the king? I know I would...
VCU does not want Smart either...
Smart...how is that working out for you Texas fans?
About Marcus Smart...first, he played for OSU not OU so I seriously doubt Kruger would mention him. Second, outside of fans from KU and OSU, no one remember Smart for the flip, everybody rightfully remembers him for the biggest flopper he was...and still is.
Under Coach Self, KU has replaced all 5 starters before and done fine. Even if Young does not select KU, it will still be a top 10 maybe a top 5 team based on what it has returning. Remember, Coach Self is the Master of last minute miracles so I don't believe he is done recruiting for next season quite yet.
...a great defender...
He still is...right?
Wiggins announcement was done in private with no public attending...and no stupid hat ceremony; very classy.
I thought it was customary for players to call the coaches involved in the recruitment ahead of time to let them know of the decision. I am not reading anything into the call order by common sense would indicate that you call the coaches the will not get you first since the conversation will be likely short and you call the coach of the school you choose last since the conversation will likely be longer...right?
