[QUOTE="xWVU2010x, post: 130232771, member: 1467482"] General rule of thumb. You’re never as good or bad as the headlines say you are. When we were #2 we were in no way legitimately the 2nd best team in the country, and after the loss to Kansas we were nowhere close to dropping out of the top 25 and into bubble territory like some were projecting. The reality with this team is that we are simply not going to win the Big XII unless Kansas gets some injuries after the meltdown on Monday. That is something that everyone in the program needs to make their peace with. Looking around the Big XII today should make that very obvious. We share a tier this year with TT and OU, both of them go and stub their toe today on the road against the bottom half of the league. I promise we will be in that position soon. Those types of games do not happen to Kansas, they find a way to win when they get in trouble against inferior opponents, and will beat any of the contending Big XII teams in a big game way more often than not regardless of where the game is played. Do not hold your breath waiting for them to lose @TT or @OU. The focus now should be 100% on putting the team in the best position to succeed in the tournament. Wanna bench Allen to make him better in the long run? Go for it. Do the same with Konate if he keeps up the ill advised jumpers. We have bigger fish to fry than a road game at TCU trying to chase something that we basically put out of reach on our own accord. [/QUOTE]
