I still think the big 12 is strong across the board. And it still wouldn't surprise me to see ku go on a run if they can get a shooter hot. Depth will eventually be the death of them though.

They had a good first half, and it was a top 15 road matchup. I think the sense is ku is just supposed to win every game. Still trotting out 5 of the best players in the country every game. They are all just going to have to play 40 minutes for 6 games to win it all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we could somehow both play like that against everyone in the tournament, we will be in the finals against each other. Well good luck tonight. Hoping we win but if not over 121 1/2 points will take a little sting off a potential loss….allegedly of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's what, 3, 4 hours usually for your fans to get to kc. The difference is that if isu ( or even k- state), they can make the championship game on Saturday night fairly easily by making plans that morning. That isn't the case with the Texas schools or new additions, so it'll be hard for others to have s solid fan base in the seats like you all can. But it's still, always going to be a home crowd feeling when ku plays. You all just seem to be in second place behind us lately. I really miss having the old bug 8 schools around, honestly.

Yeah, when Kansas and Iowa State are in it, it’s really really close to who ends up bringing more fans. I don’t really feel bad for the Texas schools. I mean Baylor built a new arena that’s half the size of both of ours. They just don’t give a crap, they held it in Dallas and none of them showed up to that. I mean, I don’t believe for a second that if Texas Tech and Baylor were in the final, that that place would be full. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
