I thought this would be the year that KU learned how to defend the perimeter, but sadly, that is not the case.

Except UK is going to drop some bullshit game near the end of their conference run, thus insuring them the championship, and then I go numb like some hiker stranded on the side of Mount Everest.

Well yeah, most coaches do. But that hasn't stopped Iowa State from having fun in the meantime, and so on and so forth, so you should just enjoy it while you can. One day, Self is going to ditch Kansas for the Thunder, where he'll proceed to flame out and then coach Oklahoma State, but in the meantime, buncha conference championships. Go with the flow.

I feel like Kentucky is deliberately playing lovely against Ole Miss, Columbia, and now Texas A&M to make the high profile teams they beat like Kansas, Texas, and UCLA look like poo poo.

Outscored UCLA in the first half, that's enough for me.

Mizzou is really bad and Kentucky is really good, it's not like we didn't know that going in.

Yeah, but most teams that are bad have some word inverse energy against Kentucky and are able to take them to the limit (for a half anyway). I'm not saying this just to be an rear end, but I really don't think Anderson has Mizzou prepared for major conference play.

Though, to be fair, maybe it's just Kentucky finally realizing they shouldn't treat anyone as a cupcake.

I don't think it was a good idea for Mizzou to give Anderson four years. Three, okay, but four is way too much of a commitment to what amounts to a panic hire (and who can blame panicking when your coach just sends you a text and heads to Tulsa).

Speaking of ex-Big 12 things, I know Angel Rodriguez's stated reason for transferring to Miami was because of homesickness, but I can't help but thinking if Frank Martin had stayed, then having a fellow Puerto Rican around would've helped him. Seeing Angel kick rear end against Duke right now just shows how much Martin leaving hosed up K-State.

Sure, but then the game was tied or within one score for the entire final minute or so and we didn't make any uniquely bad decisions like having horribly thrown inbounds passes or forgetting how much time was left like we usually do

plus its no big deal to lose to the best team ever, you guys played well despite being such a small, poorly ranked, bad team with low expectations. beat kansas for us next week

Kansas will foul the poo poo out of Iowa State without a whistle getting blown, ISU will bitch and moan and forge an apology letter for the Big 12 to pin on their wall while KU laughs and laughs and fouls out four of their players in the national tournament first round and lose.

I mean, it's not like there's no drawbacks to the strategy. If you foul out your players and the other team just keeps hitting their free throws, the strategy is bunk anyway (which still doesn't stop coaches from doing that to good free throw teams). So the disincentive is kind of already there against skilled teams.

Trust me, though, I was a Lakers fan in the early 2000s, I am not unsympathetic about getting really bored with a hacking routine.

We also cannot shoot threes.

In contrast, this KU team is actually better from 3 than last year, but they get their poo poo stuffed down low so often and aren't early-2000s level Celtics at 3 that the games end up invariably close anyway.
