Game was fun last night. I wasn't saying I had never been to a KU basketball game, just never a Big Monday game. Actually, I think the only conference game I've ever been to was when I was a kid and it was a school trip against Nebraska. As an adult, I have attended a few games over the years, but they have always been non-conference opponents because I'm cheap, I guess. :-) [Reply]

Dok is doing better keeping his elbow in but he frequently shoots with a jerky short arm motion.
If he could always do a smooth follow through I could see him easily being 60+ percent. [Reply]

Plus the cost of memorabilia and gear. Rising ticket prices. Rising fan arrogance. Endless bandwagon fans hopping on our shoulders across the country. Living in TitleTown isn’t cheap financially or psychologically.
Did somebody seriously say that Baylor wouldn't finish in the top 10 in the Big 10?
LOL
You do realize that Maryland is the best team in the Big 10, right? And that they're coached by Mark Turgeon? Penn St #2? I mean, are you kidding? [Reply]
