When will people stop being "surprised" by Kansas being good, or finishing in March? cracks me up.

We are coming unglued. :-)
Fortunately, we are ahead and get to shoot FTs

If Kevin picks his fro during timeout... I have lived a full life.
Jaybate in reply to Jkilgore
I don't know. Jeff's kind of a savant that way.
Alot of guys have been footers that couldn't do what he does.

KU is up by 12 with a disruption stat of 6:16!!!!!!
KU is winning without disruption. They are just keeping their men in front of them. Remarkable performance.

OSU had an off shooting day (not to discredit our inside D), but we still made a big statement coming in here with a good start and a strong finish.

Was that you who said this is the best "team" play since the '08 team? Great call. I totally agree. They play like a totally solid TEAM.

Ha. I think KU's a good team. It's hard to beat top-10 teams on the road.

This team is good enough to do it. It demoralizes others. Killer instinct. Finishing. Huge dunks. Made threes. Lockdown D. And... They are having fun. Not that I didn't like Sherron, the Morrii, Tyshawn... These guys play fun, like in 08. It's gonna be a fun season if we can avoid injury.

Other than the chant of Rock Chalk, that is the prettiest thing to see in an apponents house.

Olahawk in reply to D_bradley27
he;s already started the "not too bad of a loss" for OSU. Good CYA announcing
B to the P
With Jeff in the game, they got almost nuthin inside. even if they make 2 or 3 of those shots we're still ahead!

Well, I was just thinking "how do we have any seniors in this program?"

not just some seniors, but a chunk of great players at Soph-Jr too...
Kuwells in reply to B to the P
It struck me as weird that after all the losses to the NBA, we have a senior heavy team...
B to the P in reply to Jaybate
makes me think about how experienced all our guys out there are... no real freshman (aside from limited Ellis/Rio).
Kuwells in reply to Jaybate
Is someone shooting at them? Are they a teacher hiding kids in a closet? Save that for the letter to Taylor Swift...
