Aren't they like 1st or 2nd in NET rating? I think a #2 seed is basically a guarantee if things continue to go as they are. There simply aren't any other good teams in the NCAA. [Reply]

I guess what I should say is I'm confident we'll be a #2. Not confident in a #1 yet. [Reply]

We are better than we are showing, out of Control, turnovers,losing Dotson ..... all things that is the reason this game was a dude. Baylor has never won here, they wanted it and KU went through the motions of, we are KU,we don't lose at home and got their ass whooped! Baylors smaller offense moved the ball around better getting better shots
Can KU win at Baylor? No question, yes, but not playing this way....this best be a wake up call. [Reply]

You should consider taking the train. It's a little over a 7hr trip, Chicago to KC, but is not as much a hassle as flying when the weather sucks. [Reply]

I will keep that in mind for next time, would have been much preferable right now. [Reply]

The effort from Kansas was pathetic. They didn't hustle at all, and acted like they were going to beat Baylor just by showing up. It was very disappointing to see that kind of effort this late into the year.
As great as everyone wants to say Devon Dotson is, and he is very good, he just doesn't have that alpha point guard energy like Mason or Graham. Then add Dotson's injury to the injury that was clearly affecting Garrett's play today, and it was just the worst day for this team to show without any effort or heart.
