Not taking anything from KU....but is Baylor maybe not that great? We beat them there too
Jaybate
Incredible. Withey dominant. four players scored. UP 20! I feel like I'm in an MK-ULTRA mind control experiment testing a happy fantasy. This is great.

TT was clutch, Withey was money on both ends tonight. Trob another double double, but not up to his potential really?

ESPN had to clear the way for UNC/Duke to be the solo marquee matchup
Lajayhawk
Yeah, cause what we want is 3han breaking the zone with his dribble..........................................

Check your local listings man! I did the same thing the other day, but just the opposite, I was two hours too early. Watch it when ESPN3 posts it for replay. Start about the 6 or 7 minute mark of the 1st half. And enjoy. It was Marquette/UNC final fouresque.

Maybe coach Self is trying to get them to learn how to finish a game when they're tired. That's all I can think of.

There was your random post of the night! Thank you and be sure to tip your waitress!
B to the P
well, I guess we're not up 20 any more, but still... work in some fresh legs when you get under 3 minutes up 18 or 16?
Stupidmichael
See. This is why we (KU fans) don't feel comfortable with 20 point leads in the 2nd half.
Jaybate
What the hell is going on. I go out to Flemmings for steak thinking the game is not on till now and its nearly over and we're up 20!
Who has had big games offensively?

the way the team looed after the 1st 10 minutes, they can go undefeated until the big 12 tourney.

Wait til you come to Allen.. you'll see coming back from a tough loss.
Calhawk
Maybe Baylor is playing more man this year, but their base is that zone, and when KU picks it apart, it causes Baylor to lose hope, man or zone.
Lajayhawk
They still make the Super Bowl MVP say they're going to Disney World?? That still happens??
Mizzoubest
Congratulations,Kansas. I'm impressed.....KU came back from a tough game and won big. Well done.

I was thinking the same thing. I thought the guy was acting like a douche.
Kuwells in reply to Lajayhawk
I'll say that one more time... If it wasn't for my horse... Lewis Black rocks!
Jkilgore in reply to MDL/kuae99
just figuratively. you want to be able to have the rest of the season
| Kansas | 66 |
|---|---|
| Baylor | 50 |
Calhawk
I hate to be the guy who toots his own horn... no, that's not true at all, so I'll say it again: I love Self's ability to dissect a Baylor zone and watch the doubt creep in!
