Good call.

I still can't get the pic of him in those assless chaps out of my head....from a few years back, lol....

Good showing by the second-best team in Kansas, coming back at home against a West Virginia team without its best player, Juwan Staten.

That's how champions roll. Without two cornerstones of their rotation (Ellis and Alexander) we just win.

West Virginia would finish 3rd in the Pac12.

Comes to crow less than 2 hours after a win.
Slinks back 4 days after a loss.

I'm no mathematician but there seems to be a slight disparity there.

Feels like Arizona is on a different level than Kansas right now, it's not even that fun, kind of like going toe to toe with UCLA.

Alexander is a cornerstone of your rotation? God, you must really miss Danny Manning's player development skills.

Nope. Technical loss.

Another L in Kansas's record. Expect the committee to view it as such.

Honest question here - how streaky is Kansas in-game this year??

They were down 18 at home last night? Won in OT

They were blowing out Utah earlier this year - maybe up 20? I'm not exactly sure, but then barely won. Get blown out by Kentucky & Temple - def shouldn't have been blown out in one of those games. I feel like there are even more examples but I'm not going to go dig them up.

Talk about a contrast to our team. Self & Miller could not be more fundamentally different as coaches.

Is Kansas always like this with the huge runs both ways? Or is this specific to this year.

West Virginia would probably finish 3rd in the PAC. What's the point of that comment?

I'd probably not be running my mouth about KU this year...just my personal opinion. I think the addition of another year on the Big XII banner will be the highlight of this year for KU.

i think it means that oregon, the third best team in the pac, would give ku all they could handle on the road at afh

Neither did WVU's starting backcourt

Don't be logical.

Meanwhile, Thomas Robinson, pinnacle of Self's big-man coaching, is now on his fifth team in four years. Here are some relevant comments about his ability:

Well, his skill set doesn't match what any NBA team wants to do offensively. Can't dribble, can't shoot, can't post up.

He's basically a little poorer man's Kenneth faried or however you spell that. He needs to get some real post moves and be a consistent offensive threat if he ever wants starting playing time. His points are usually opportunistic and unreliable

However, Robinson definitely has thorns. His post game is ugly, as is his mid-range shot, where he is shooting 31.8 percent this season, per Basketball-Reference. He’s foul-prone, averaging five per-36 minutes, and almost equally turnover prone, especially in the post. He hasn’t really made any huge jumps defensively, either. And that’s before we get to the questions about how seriously Robinson takes the NBA.

He's averaging 4 and 4 and, fittingly, has started 4 games in his career. Oh, and if anyone's curious how Miller's big men are doing in the NBA:

Derrick Williams: 8 and 4 (86 games started)
Solomon Hill: 9 and 4 (55 games started)

Oops:

Cliff who?

California would win the Big 12.

I like the "We gettin' PAID!!!" arms raised in triumph.

Ku. 7 losses. Lol! 3 seed at best

oh hi, kansas. what's up?

3 seed at best

Nice to see Kansas isn't worth a court storming

Technical win.

Lol so which 14 seed will the Chicken hawks lose to this year?

he must've learned it from cliff's mom. OHHHHHHhhhhhhh!

Oh, did Kansas lose? Cool...

Oklahoma would win the NBA.

illinois state would win the big 12

Technical win for Kansas, technical loss for Arizona. That's how the committee will view it.

I see Alexander and Ellis didn't play. That's what happens when you cheat. And when you're 50.

Another quality loss.

Their RPI ranking shows the flaw in that metric. It's all well and good to play a ton of great teams, but the "#2" team in the country should have beaten more than a handful of them.

Looking at who they beat, where they beat them and and when they beat them (at least as far as ranked teams go), I would probably rank them around #15 in the country. For someone to make the argument they are the #2 team in the country (and I know that's where RPI has them) feels pretty insane.

I'll go a little further: as a 3 seed they're probably overrated. Four is probably more appropriate so you don't get an unbalanced bracket.

I'm trying to figure out how they would win the PAC-12 like the mighty enflamo said. They would lose at Arizona just like the last 38 teams, and at Utah (only won by 3 on a "neutral" court). Both are higher in almost every metric ( Sagarin, BPI, and Kenpom)

Apparently they would sweep their other 16 games and be co-champs with UofA.

Unbiased opinion... OU would win the Pac-12.

Are you all really criticizing Kansas when two starters and a rotation player (on the road) didn't play and another starter is playing on a bad ankle and we lost on a tip in with 0.02 seconds left on the clock to a top 20 team? Fyi - Arizona has only played one team in the top 25 since the beginning of Pac-12 play.

Let that sink in....

Let that sink in...

4 seed

Whoever beats Kansas <insert team here> would win the PAC-12. Unless it's Stanford.

Nothing you post is unbiased. With RockyRaccoon gone you are back to being the dumbest poster and biggest troll. Congrats fuegs!

Not true. I said Texas and K-State would place third in the Pac-12.

So just for fun, what seed will Kansas get in the tourney?

Kansas would be fighting asu for 5th in the Pac 12

A 2 seed.

And we'd be fighting for first in the Pac12 and would probably sweep Arizona.

It is weird enfuego gets so much pleasure from saying the same troll message that he doesn't even mean over and over again. For a decade.

I really think Kansas is below Oregon and Utah in the Pac. Maybe on ucla's level.

Good. I assume you'd be willing to bet on that?

Post here before the end of Monday 3/09/15 if you accept. You take Kansas as a 2 or better, I take Kansas as a 3 or worse. You bet you will never come back here again (site ban). I bet $100.

Sweep? Arizona beat far better teams than Kansas going back its last 38 home games, dufus.

OU wouldn't do jack sh*t in the Pac-12 except finish third at best btw.

Let that sink in...

catgrad97 wrote:How about a side bet that a seven-loss team isn't getting a 2 seed.

Of course for Kansas that's the bet I'm proposing. But Enfuego will say he didn't come back today or tomorrow or whatever other day he needs to say to not technically be a part of the bet because he knows what will happen.

The important lesson here actually is for the lower boards: when you know what a person's disposition is, when you know what a nation is going to do, you can use that against them. Here, there, wherever: I know what your disposition is, and I can use it against you to trap you. To put you in an untenable place.

Here Enfuego will NEVER respond to my bet. He can't; he's in a lose/lose spot. And what's the worse case for me? I lose $100?

I've won before he's even responded because I've trapped him into saying Kansas is a 2 seed.
