Kansas down to wire every game

[mjj_2K]

Kansas, like UK, has a guard problem. Except I think UK has better options, with a higher chance of improvement.

Dotson has been OK, but he's not a PG. Grimes is shooting under 40%, and Garrett is under 30%. Charlie Moore is even worse than that, and the fact that he's logging almost 20 mpg is not a good sign for them.

What's saving them at this point is that Vick is shooting out of his mind, and call me crazy, but hitting 58% from 3 point range just doesn't seem sustainable.

I think this post is getting overlooked. I get kind of laughing about “jinxing” them as it’s sort of an inside joke, but this post makes it appear as if Angus truly believes in magic. I mean, does anybody seriously think that there is some cosmic force out there that the only thing it has to do with its time is pay attention to crappy college basketball games, and that if ANYBODY here so much as peeps about the game then it gives this “ah ha!” sort of gesture, like “I’m going to show those stupid guys on the internet...how dare they say something/ anything about this game. The insolence. They must pay so I will now use my magic to make Kansas win.”

Fascinating stuff.

Indeed

Dotson is pretty good. Grimes was pretty good against Michigan State. Then he fell off big time. I think Kansas will improve at guard play as both of those guys are freshman.

Also, for some reason, it does seem that guards under Self improve on their 3 point shooting big time in senior year. Now I don't think Vick will keep up 60% 3 point shooting. But it wouldn't surprise me to see Vick hover around 50% 3 point shooting by season's end.

Two of our first 5 games (this is the sixth) were against top 10 teams and Marquette is Kenpom #30. Our non-con SOS is #4 per Kenpom.

Led the nation in rapes and girl friend abuse.

We (Kansas) do not look very good at all right now.

Three point defense is terrible, Grimes is lost out there, Dok still foul prone, Lawson and Vick having to carry the team, Dotson is streaky but fast, Garrett can’t shoot.

Most of these things are subject to improvement.

I think KU/UK today would be a great game. Pick-em on a neutral court.

Will be interesting to see how each team improves by the time we meet.

PS. It kills me to say it but having watched all four teams, Kansas and UK have their work cut out for them matching up with Duke or the Zags.

You need glasses then. Go start a gofundme.

Kansas currently losing to Stanford with 8min left. They will probably pull it out but so far they have been one of the least impressive preseason #1's. Every game they look like they are about to lose.

I think Kentucky wins that game Jan 26th

No offense,but if thoughts were baskets, we would have blown Duke out November 6. BTW, I hope we win too.

It really is astounding how much this **** happens.

Don’t talk about it. Let it happen. Let the hated team lose and THEN come talk about. This happens every ****ing time and it’s annoying.

Happens nearly every time. If I were a mod I would delete any post talking about a potential upset until the game is over. Rupp Rafters has pretty much ruined the chances of a ton of upsets happening if you believe in the power of the jinx.

And that dude NEVER kicked that car, he just stubbed his toe and his leg went off accidentally.

That car attacked him,just defending himself

It’s nice to know some adults still believe, especially around this time of year.
