@BeddieKU23 Interesting. That wasn't quite a blowout, but they did dominate us pretty well. So last three seasons getting defeated soundly?
Until last season, when was the last time we ended the season with an embarrassing blowout loss? I'm having trouble thinking of one.
This is worse than Wisconsin's loss to oregon last night.
That dude travelled on that pass so bad.
We're starting to get into their heads.
Fouling Dedric. KJ travelling.
@HighEliteMajor What was unreal was his form on that shot. Looked like Doke trying to shoot a FT.
@DanR Even better!
Auburn is a football school. We always beat football schools.
I love coming back from 15 down. It's historic. We'll talk about this for a long time.
Auburn is piling up some fouls
Baby steps
New Mexico St. is this much better than us?
No Doke, no Vick. Playing guys that probably wouldn't be seeing the court. Again, we've had time to adjust, but this is not the Jayhawk team we started the year with.
Dotson 2 fouls. Announcers didn't notice.
I would recommend we make our FT's
I believe
Bill Self gonna have to dig deep here to find a solution to this. It's looking like Villanova all over again.
Go start your own thread.
Because we've never come back from 7 points in the 1st 5 minutes of a game.
To listen to the announcer we don't have a chance in this game.

@DanR Crazy that they play a game between a west coast team in Gonzaga and a midwestern team baylor before a game between and east coast and midwest team. Auburn has the right to be a bit upset about the game time, at least for their fans.
@dylans You should have asked the resident big 10 fan!
Purdue taking it to Nova. Glad to see it.
@Kcmatt7 It's hard to feel sorry for Baylor! I turned it on just as he was heading to the bench, so I didn't see it.
And there you have it. Kentucky gets bailed out by a foul call taking away any chance to tie or win.
I'm scared
Tyler Herro is a turncoat
@KirkIsMyHinrich Jayhawks gonna have to make me forget the Badgers!
@KirkIsMyHinrich I wasn't expecting it to be Wisconsin either. Oregon was obviously way under seeded. But the Badgers haven't been playing very well for a while.
Auburn is saying we won't know what to do with Okeke.
@dylans It's an interesting strategy. You get two really good teams with the champions classic and the SEC challenge which usually is Kentucky. Then it's a bunch of good major conference teams. These are teams we would presume we should beat like Arizona this year, but teams that are going to be competitive none-the-less.
@BShark But only one of those 50 resulted in a championship. Roy, 3, UConn 3, Duke 3, Florida 2, Nova 2. I really wish we had a crooked number after our name instead of another KU record.
Apparently we played 27 games against teams that made the dance including of course Northeastern last night. That is a stout schedule for sure.
Really good time for the game Saturday. I have a busy day and want to watch live instead of on the DVR while avoiding texts/radio stations that give scores. Perfect!
Hoiberg worked for one of the worst owners in sports Jerry Reinsdorf. He's a cheapskate, and owns one of the worst NBA franchises and one of the worst baseball franchises, a team of which I am more of a fan than even KU, the White Sox. He offered a ton of money to Machado, but still did it in a way that was cheap and lost him. I think Fred can coach and wish him well.
Yeah, at the time sounded like a gimmee type game, but now they're a nice win as is some others who've won today like Baylor, but Marquette is a loser.
Baylor overcomes some strange (normal) officiating to win impressively
@BShark That was back when were humming along with Doke and Vick and company.
This is hilarious. Baylor guy gets knocked over rebounding. Then the Syracuse guy trips over the guy on Baylor he just knocked to the floor. Then they call a foul on the Baylor guy laying on the floor. ACC teams get the whistles.
Syracuse just knocks over 3 point shooter in the act of shooting. 6 eyes on 3 refs didn't see it. I'm no Baylor fan, but I will pull for league teams against the east coasters. It's almost hard to watch it's such a bogus contest.
Nice work!
Some dude from Wofford just set the career record for 3s in a career. He went 0-9 against us. At the 11:16 mark of the 2nd half we were ahead 43-41. At the 2:30 mark Wofford made a 3 pointer to make it 70-44. That's right, we scored 27 straight points against the team is trying to move into the 2nd round of the tourney right now against Seton Hall. 27-0 Imagine that!
Syracuse has only committed one foul through fifteen minutes of this game against Baylor....Yeah right.
Nice! Waiting for Auburn pics!
Every year since 1986 except the probation year and the two OAD years of 05-06 KU wins their first game of the tourney. If my math is right that's 30 of 32 tourneys we've won the 1st game. Not sure who else can claim that. Forget the conference streak, that one is equally or even greater.
Anyone remember the old days when the games were only on CBS and you had to just watch for the score in the corner of the other games? Frustrating as I never lived in Kansas and I was always hoping they'd switch over to the KU game.
I've often wondered in a situation like this. We're up by 30. Self pulls the starters, puts the intramural champs from KU in. 6 minutes left. Can they hold the lead?
Grimes streak ends at 11 missed 3's.
