@benshawks08 I was thinking 2020 we would have been a long term #1, but we didn't enter the #1 spot until the 3rd to last week of the season. A pre Christmas loss and one early in January to Baylor meant a hole to climb out of. I bring it up because we know KU is winning it all that year!

Do we consider 2012 and 2022 to be 'down years'? 2022 we had 6 losses, maybe Dayton was a bad loss...kind of. They got destroyed by Kentucky in AFH. Lost 4 league games, 2 by 10 points just 2 weeks before conference tournament. Yet of course they won it all. 2012 I never think of that team as a juggernaut, also lost 6 reg season games, several clunkers including Davidson in the Sprint Center. Duke/Kentucky early on, infamous loss to Duke in Maui with TT turnovers and calls not favoring us. But 3 losses in the league and 1 in the league tournament made it kind of a down year in my mind.
My point, seemingly when we have years like those described or like this year we face an early exit from the dance. Am I right/wrong??
@dylans we’re blessed basketball wise to be fans of such a consistently great program.
@kjayhawks Lamont Paris learned from one of the best in Bo Ryan.
@drgnslayr I know it sounds like I'm wishing we had an alleged criminal playing for us but I'm not, Just wondering if Arterio could have gotten the same.
I'm a little confused about the Terrence Shannon case and the Arterio Morris case. Maybe @mayjay can chime in with his experience. Both get charged with a sex crime, one gets kicked off the team and apparently is awaiting trial. The other seeks a court injunction and is reinstated to the team. We obviously could have been a better team with Arterio but I could care less because of the seriousness of the charge. Could he have asked for an injunction too? Seemingly similar cases, but one kid is back to playing at an all american level and the other isn't even playing.
Might be the year we suffer the fate that all the other major high seeds have experienced more than once since we last lost a first round game. We've had some disappointing 2nd round losses, but 15-16 years in a row of avoiding first round upsets. Not saying it will happen but we just might be as vulnerable as possible right now for it to happen.
A wins a win but some don't feel as good as others do. This is one of those that doesn't feel as good.
I hate the ends of games like this except we're winning.
Johny these freethrows are furphree
Way to jinx us bilas
@kjayhawks Well we should just play him in the big dance then!
@BeddieKU23 If that's baseball they're batting .280, not too bad.
oh yeah furphy and RCinTexas and zabudda (what does that mean anyway?) and st louis jayhawk and dynomite and hide yo kids.....And pizza shuttle.
I love Kj, DaJuan too, and approxinfinity and jaybate and bill self and pollard and especially my wife and kids and grandkid, oh and hunter even though I used to hate him and dylands and dan and beddie and kjay and jaybawler and of course crimsonoreblue and kubballin10 and, well everyone, this is a fun part of the winter for me every year and it sucks when it comes crashing to an end unless it's watching them on top of a ladder cutting net in some big dome with confetti falling, and danny and mario and remy and of course the GOAT Wilt.
Remember when we used to yell "Free the three!!?
Listen to the crowd! in my best Harry Caray voice!
Who's Taylor Quick or whatever they said?
@DanR No, didn't hear that. That's scary stuff.
@dylans Yeah him too, I just mentioned Scott since people were talking about him!
This team needs a Scott Pollard
I like the fan in Bilas. "parker braun's got to get that ball". You can hear a bunch of guys/gals in the stands saying the same thing.
@StLJhawk He hasn't become the bonafide superstar that people projected him for I think.
There's the furf dub dub
Adams used to be automatic with that in the lane jumper.
Furphy only 8 steals or 10 assists from a triple double.
Furphy providing all the energy with Mum and Pa in the stands
So a ref on the other side of the court can call a foul?
From crowd reaction to the replay that was a bad call. We don't get to see it however.
@nuleafjhawk No I don't want a REALLY good one.
@kjayhawks Wilt had 31 of the top rebounding games in history. Bill Russell had 24, the rest of the chart has 4 names on it with 1 top game each. In other words Wilt had more than half of the top rebounding games in league history, a range of 55 down to 37 games.
@kjayhawks I love factoids like that!
Every stat KJ has a 2. 2 points, shots, fouls, assists, rbs, TO's,
Stupid ESPN, why didn't they put this on ESPN+? I don't want to watch this crap!
Red sea parting defense on that drive.
@nuleafjhawk I generally consider that place with the big M outside to be fine dining just so you know.
Furf3ee
@nuleafjhawk Yes indeed! I'd love to meet all of my fellow bucketeers, seriously!
@jayballer67 said in KU vs Cincinnati game chat:
We just can't have comfortable games
One week ago, at OSU, almost boring comfortable.
Now DuJuan's my GOAT, just don't tell that one guy.
Bill Self is my GOAT
@BeddieKU23 He's at 53 now still in 3rd quarter.
I think I'll go back to researching Wilt stats.
This is pathetic. Fire the coach.
Looked at the rebounding list and Wilt and Bill Russell dominate, but none close to Wilt's 55 in one game.
Joels 70 point game ties him for 12th on the biggest scoring games in history. 85 guys have scored at least. 60 points, guess who has 31 of those games?
@KirkIsMyHinrich 5 assists too!
That's the 2nd great steal by Demarko in the last two games
I wonder if Les Nessman is there reporting for WKRP?
Kev kind of carried it on that drive, but no worries, refs never call that anymore.
