Nova, FSU, WVU losing today helps KU's chances at getting a better seed. Hoping Illinois beats Ohio St as well for that reason.
But Kansas with 12 wins and a better %. I believe we are locked in as the 2-seed now.
WVU 5-23 from 3. Thanks for the 2 seed I guess
@BShark Dave jumpers are kind of like 3-point attempts except they're only worth 2 points.
Game never happened, ESPN+ does not exist, and we will never speak of this again.
Seriously though, I hope Bill makes them watch that 1st half on re-run until the B12 tournament.
That was unnecessarily stressful
Refs taking over
Dave "Larry Bird" McCormack
Their 22% 3-point shooter is going to knock down a couple and we're going to do stupid things on offense probably. This is why you can't play around like this in the 1st half.
6-13 on free-throws. Do we practice free-throws? wth
Any chance of winning this game means playing well coming out of the media timeout.
Is it too late to cancel this game?
@BShark said in KU tune up game thread:
🐦 View Tweet lol
Ya I was looking at that too. But I mean if we leave people wide open
Bill Self needs to throw a chair or something. This is bs
Ochai is the only player with more than 2 points lmao
Topeka YMCA
Dave man seriously
We need to make some shots and get ourselves back into this glue-eating contest

I wish I would have waited to upvote @bmensch1 instead of @KirkIsMyHinrich
You can take it back. I can handle it.
I have no March expectations for this team. If we make a run in the tournament, great. If not, well let's just say I won't be as disappointed as I was in 1997.
This is @BShark 's fault. Good job, idiot.
Baylor hangover is brutal. Still a lot to play for.
Oof
Kentucky sucks and I'm here for it.
Down goes Duke in OT
Baylor beat Illinois head-to-head by 13 and has 5 fewer losses, so probably not.
@benshawks08 Exactly my sentiments
I question whether Fran has watched ISU, KSU, or TCU play this season after that statement. Don't let it bother you too much; Kansas played very well, especially defensively against Baylor.
That's great to hear. Keep them as your 1-seed then.
West Virginia also didn't lose this week.
Right now, Illinois or West Virginia would be my choice for the last 1-seed, particularly if either wins on Tuesday (Illinois plays Michigan, West Virginia plays Baylor). If I were seeding I'd probably go something like:
1's - Gonzaga, Michigan, Baylor, Illinois
2's - West Virginia, Ohio St, Alabama, Villanova
But it's all going to change in the next few weeks so
Edit: Maybe swap Iowa for Villanova on the 2-line.
Don't think Ohio St is going to stay a 1-seed after losing 3 in a row and being blown out by Iowa today. There will be a lot of make-up games this week and seeds are going to move around. If Kansas takes care of UTEP and wins at least 1 game in the B12 tournament I think they'll be a 3-seed. Winning one game in the B12 tournament probably won't be easy though (if the tournament started today our first game would be against Texas). Long shot at a 2-seed if we win out and the teams ahead of us lose.
Nova shot 7.4% from 3. Oof
Gonzaga's very good, but tonight is an example of the benefit (in terms of W/L) of playing in the WCC. Gonzaga can take games off against teams like Loyola Marymount and still win.
We should have beaten Texas too, but this win helps me forget. Happy to go 2/3 against Baylor, Texas, and Tech
Kentucky lost, Duke lost, Kansas beat Baylor by double-digits. Feb. 27th was a good day
That'll teach them to be favored in AFH
Baylor should stop fouling then
I have a red Keith Langford jersey that's pretty crisp
I think the red uni's look good tbh
44-23 rebounds. I like it
FINISH THEM
Ok official
Ochai needs to show up. Come on man
Had our chances and just blew it. Forget it and move on to Baylor
Bilas openly cheering for Texas. It's disgusting.
Sit Dave
Dave, lay it in. It's still worth 2 points.
We're going to make a run and then close it out. I have faith.
Ochai got fouled
