Hey face it fans,,a lot of hawk fans thought KU was over rated this year. Texas has a very good team that can reach the final 4.

Could be worse. Played terribly for one half to perhaps the best defensive team in the country and not a blowout. 2008 team lost three in a row. Duke didn't look like champs last year.

We're still 41-2 at home against the B12 South since the inception of the BXII. That is totally, utterly dominant. We'll bounce back and hopefully show more effort. We'll have to if we want to get very far this year.

Looking forward for next year for one reason...I dont have to look at Moringstar on the court.
Joel Thomas
It's one game. Nobody honestly thought we'd go undefeated. We played like crap for the second half against perhaps the best defensive team in the country, and it wasn't a blowout. 2008 team lost three in a row. Duke didn't look like the champs during the season last year.

that's also our second game against a top-25 team though. at home. i know it isn't the end of the world, but its certainly disappointing and makes us look a little worse in the eyes of pollsters

Ignorant fans, right here on this site, beating their chests, guaranteeing a win.
I've said it so many times. Humility goes a long way. KU fans showed none today.
Thank god we got that stupid win streak over with. It only bread ignorance.

Tough loss, hope it makes them hungrier and I think it will. No matter what, it was a great streak.

We needed a loss to teach these guys that you can't take any victory for granted.
Authink in reply to Saad Saifeddine
we need the less than 1 point a game average from Morningstar keep playing him so much and results will be same

It is an unbelievable loss but we have to flush this one down the toilet. Pressure off now, right?

We will get another shot at TexAss in the BigXII tourney and I bet the outcome will be alot different.
Brian Powell
I'd rather lose a non-conf. game to an unranked team. Or a conf. game vs. ANYONE else but Texas.
Kugreenmachine
we played this game like we were waiting for something, or someone to come in and do something.... I wonder what they were waiting for?
Craig Colgin
It's an inexcusable loss at home when your up by 15 and play half heartedly for half of the game. It's just not good enough. GIve your best and lose, good enough! That's not what happened today.

They just showed a KU student smiling, find out who he is and take away his season tickets!
Caddyshacks
unless we get a lot better at pressure shooting from outside, this team is elite eight at best
Brian Powell
see how Morris is forcing the issue? we needed that wayyyyyyyy back in the beginning of this half
Saad Saifeddine
we are definitely not going far in the tourney with guards like taylor and selby! taylor is just not good, and selby is too incosistent! looks like another UNI season
Ku08
Clap clap clap. Pretty amazing going nearly four years without a loss at home. Gotta feel pretty fortunate to root for the Jayhawks!
Lindhawk
WTF taylor he has stuck it up all day... why do you try to score against their bigs? the morris's haven't been able to score over them today!!!!?!????
Kugreenmachine
you mean the Morris twins are still on our team...I asn't sure they were still playing after the first half.
Brian Powell
if we can't get a stop, we don't have a chance.
My question to Morris is where the ___ were you earlier???
Brian Powell
a lot of SElby haters came out of the closet today lol he's a freshman! he'll be dominant in a year or two...
