You guys realize that conference games are typically closer in point spread versus out of conference games where teams don't play each other two to three times (conference tourneys) right? Look at the spread in your conference games against teams half as difficult (based on Kenpom rankings) as the games KU has played in conference this season. Surely, you're not saying that Vandy and MSU are good teams?
Kansas looking solid

Remember that time KU shot 47 FT's against UK in AF? Coincidentally, Wayne Selden played 44 mins and didn't commit a single foul.
No they're not.Even after having those close games Our margin of victory is still over 21 a game. Third in the nation. We blow everybody out.
I remember when nobody on UK could do anything to stop Wayne....but we've been over this. We get to play in a week in a game Kentucky SHOULD win.
I think it's pretty obvious that we will beat the pants off of KU next week. It may not be 72-40, but I think we win comfortably nonetheless. This team just has too much sauce for Frank "The Push Off" Mason.
You are not a UK fan obviously. What a loser. I'm guessing/hoping you are a KU fan.
Kansas has NPOY candidate Frank Mason, a ton of big game experience, a better record, and a higher ranking in the polls. They also play in a better conference, really surprised you think our Kentucky squad that starts 4 freshman and a sophomore should win.
UK is at home and has better talent. Yes, UK will be favored and SHOULD Win.
I would agree that Kentucky's players have better future talent. But Kansas's players have better present talent which comes with talent + experience.

Man, these Kansas fans are trying to make the game a can't lose scenario for them. If they lose it's because it was at Rupp and we were supposed to win if they win it's this amazing upset. It's crap, if we win it will be a hell of a win and well deserved and if we lose it's not the end of the world. Kentucky can win but they "shouldn't" win, that sets it up as all the pressure is on us and it's a damned if you do damned if you don't game and that just simply not true.
Bradley , Bucknell , Northern Iowa , Stanford , VCU . Case closed.
Better present talent? UK is better at every position except the 4 spot.
No he didn't. UMM did. As a matter of fact I blame all our losses on UMM
You are presently ranked higher, were we ranked higher than at any point this year? You say you are the best team on our schedule, thats debatable. Name a team on your schedule better than UK.
Name a team on your schedule better than KU? I'm thinking we're going to have to agree to disagree.
Not to mention UNC was on a neutral court. Could argue our first road game @ Louisville as well.
UNC was not at 100% either.
One of the funnest games of the year to watch this year if you're a college basketball fan though.
That was the best game in the last couple years. Nothing funny about it.
Oklahoma versus KU last year...disagrees. Villanova v. UNC for the title last year... disagrees. I would put it right behind those two games though.
True. Might not have been the best game. It was the most fun to watch though.
I really don't think Kansas has any chsnce to win at Rupp.. Look what we are doing against a top25 team..
Second best player. If the only stat you're looking at stats. And losing him is not comparable to Kentucky losing Mulder to this game. What happened to Fox's foot? I missed the first 30 minutes of game time.
As long as it is not a high ankle sprain, he probably won't miss any games and be back and at full strength for the KU game. The high ankle sprains take a couple of weeks to get over.
