Good lord. Butler is playing like absolute rear end and then on top of that, Marquette is nailing all their 3s. Marquette is a nice surprise in the Big East this year.

How about beating Purdue, beating Northwestern, then blowing a double digit lead to Penn State? (The entire Big Ten is mediocre and will be lucky to have more than one team in the Sweet 16)

Look at these ISU fans acting like their dog got shot during most of the game and then leaving with two minutes left and only down 9.

Case in point.

They camped out for three days in 5 degree temps and then started leaving the arena early and then all stopped when that three went down and watched from the doorway.

Pathetic.

Iowa State, not Iowa. Iowa is much better and based on the ISU games against Kansas and Baylor would definitely win the Big 12

Michigan played their first good defensive game of the season, but unfortunately it was at the Kohl Center so Wisconsin went into the double bonus with 14 minutes left in the 2nd half and a steal that never went out of bounds was called out of bounds because Bo Ryan's dead gay ghost is still there casting evil wizard spells of lovely boring basketball over everyone, cool

to be fair kansas lost to indiana early, long before tom crean had the chance to embarrassingly gently caress up all the talent his roster has with his hot "coaching"

I realize this is all trolling, but the Indiana thing proves more that this Kansas's team's Achilles heel (as are many a Self team) is at the perimeter, even with Azubuike gone. I'm not sure what's happened to Indiana since but they were red-hot that night, which is why this Kansas team won't make the Sweet Sixteen even though it has the talent to - too many midmajors get in through the power of perimeter shooting. But I'd put Kansas up against a lot of the major conference team any day of the week, even with the shallow big rotation.

Kentucky gonna slaughter them, though.

I had a drat stress headache from the under 8 timeout till I walked about 4 blocks away from the Kohl Center. Refs were awful during the entire 2nd half.

New Mexico is 3-1 in conference on the road.

At home they blow historic leads and meticulously fall apart.

Seems about right.

Obvious trolling from our own moderator but I'll play along, you're going to judge KU's only loss being in overtime to their first opponent starting freshmen when Indiana shot 48% from 3?

Also Iowa is 11-8 on the nation's #67 strength of schedule vs. Kansas 17-1 vs. the #19 strength of schedule. At least wait until we get blown out by West Virginia boasting the #93 SoS and losses to #65 ranked Temple and #72 ranked Texas Tech before you trigger us.

jesus this thread is annoying sometimes. We barely have any actual discussion about college basketball in these threads it's mostly gently caress duke and my team did this and that with no responses. Any discussion is met with eye rolling and putdowns. That post took about a minute of my life.

Also Villanova is #1.

KU was 1 like two days ago, whatever.

I am happy to have a serious conversation about basketball if you want to. I don't think a post that was presenting an intentionally absurd argument and clearly made in jest is a particularly great building block for that. There was no way to have a serious conversation off of it because I was not being serious, which even you recognized before treating it seriously and accusing me of judging KU too harshly for some reason.

I am very sorry that this attempt to make a joke offended you so. It wasn't even that great a joke! It only became a thing because two of you somehow thought to necessary to offer genuine rebuttals, and that was funny to me.

Florida and South Carolina still scoreless at the first TV timeout 4+ minutes into the game. Combined 0-10 shooting and 6 TOs so far.
