Talk about taking the crowd completely out of a game!!!!!!!!
Self Defense just completely shut these Buckeyes down, and did it with steals instead of blocks.
Beautiful, boys, flipping beautiful!!!!!!!

Matta looks like so many coaches beaten by Self and his teams.
How the flip did he do it? We matched them on so many stats. How the heck did he make us shoot 29.5% inside?
I love it.

MISSING FREE THROWS IS GOING TO BREAK OUR HEARTS THOUGH.
AND RUIN MY PREDICTION OF A TEN POINT WIN.

But this is one of KU's great pre-conference victories. Its tough to get a big win on the road, even though we are the ...........BETTER TEAM!!!!!!!!

Trivia question. How many teams have scored 70 points or more in 2008 and 2012's NCAA tournaments?

There really isn't a problem here. They're tired, the game got boring, and we'll finish the next game better.
