Kansas basketball is the biggest cheater & joke in all of sport.

Not sure Kansas is as big of cheater as UNC but it’s close!

You can't game plan for what Nova did to KU.

That's fine; KU has beat UK the last three times. Prior to that UK was on a three game winning streak. As far as to KU always flaming out, that has been overplayed in recent years. I see it more in Self's early years, but it has improved as of late. Three elite eights and a final four in the prior three years. Bottom line is that in a one and gone tournament, high seeds are not going to get the the final four every single year.

The coaches poll doesn't mean much at all this early in the year, just like other articles endorsing other teams being the best. Time will tell and I think by conference season all teams will have a better idea where they stand

What I mean is I literally have no fear about Kansas being the last team standing. 2008 was an outlier, it took a large amount of lucky bounces and Memphis have an epic choke to pull it. Self' s teams are always good teams, but I have no fear of Kansas cutting down the final net. Someone will always be there to send them home.

Kentucky UNC Duke are all different. They can win in it any given year. Kansas? Eh, not unless it's a down year and Kansas just happens to return 4 convicts and an NBA player.

Nothing I would consider "thug" ....Did one of them punch another play in practice? Yes

Hmmmmm

 

[Pjvanshaigreenbaker69]

Biggest question for you guys: will the Lawsons buy into their new role?

They have to. They are being paid to.

I think Azubuike and De Sousa (if eligible) could have pro careers.

But to me there is something about Kansas... I dunno... for some reason I wouldn't be surprised if there is some "team turmoil" there. Jmo.

The Lawson’s will do as much harm as good. Guaranteed.

2008 wasn't a down year. Only time four #1 seeds made the Final Four. I've never looked it up (and it would be interesting to research), but there was a ton of NBA talent on all of those teams. Has to be one of the Final 4's with the most future NBA players

What you are saying Cindog28 is that it will be a typical season for KU........[smoke]

Ahhhh...The legendary Schwagg has arrived for his normal brilliant commentary...I've read some of your posts and Dude, and your jealousy is all consuming...Time for therapy or to let it go...

"Big 12 refs on the take" or your friends who "know" about what happened at the BB dorm....Have you ever gone back and look at some of the things you write on this site? I call 1000% Bull-*****...

But I like to consider my self a fair man...How bout we meet a pub of your choice here in KC area (though I wonder if you are of drinking age) and I will put $100 toward your tab if you tell me the source and the "rest of the story" that you consistently spew on this website.

I wont be packing any heat, knife or friends...just me, an open set of ears and $100.

(Come on... I kid. Left that one wide open for a joke. Lol.)

Touche....but many years ago I played football at KU....Which takes alot of ball to admit....then and today

Never worry about Kansas. They’ll find some way to piss it all away.

Just look at last year- did everyone a favor by bouncing Duke then didn’t even show up against Villanova.

But I’m sure they’ll have another great regular season before embarrassing themselves again in March.

Who, Kblew? At least others are now seeing what I see with Dook, major issues with all that talent (3). I said it before and I will say it again, they will get pounded by us and then drop at least 1 game in Maui and lose 8-10 before the tourney starts As long as the ACC doesn't plop.
