besides a win at Ohio State, who has yet to show they are even legit, I don't see the hype over this team by some.

their home winning streak was nearly put to an end in their last 2 games vrs Temple who is a team that literally relies on ONE player, and an Iowa State team who has lost against any good team they've played.

so far the Jay Hawks look like a vulnerable favorite. one true road game and who in the Big 12 is really a legit contender to test them during the regular season? Oklahoma State MAYBE if you really want to push it....:shrug:

They have had two bad games in a row. Every team goes through stretches like that. They basically had two weeks off in a row after beating Ohio State in Columbus. When Indiana loses there, then maybe you will realize what that means. Temple is a VERY good team who already knocked off a Syracuse team who will most likely be in the Final Four. Kansas did play like shit against Iowa State, but it was worth it for Kansas to firmly establish "THE MAN" on the team. McLemore showed he is the by far the best frosh in the country, maybe the best player, period. The rest of the team had a BAD night and Iowa State lit it up from downtown. Yet, Kansas still won. That is what CHAMPIONSHIP teams do. They win games they shouldn't when the team is playing poorly. They are going for their 9th straight Big XII CHAMPIONSHIP.

How many Big Ten championships in a row has Indiana won, sucker? For that matter, when was Indiana's last appearance in the Final Four? Indiana fans are a joke. First time in over a decade you have been relevant, and you have to talk trash. Good luck against Minnesota. You will need it.

PS. I must have missed Indiana's big road win? Or are you crowing about a 5-point victory against Iowa that didn't cover the spread?

Do you understand that I have no allegiance to Indiana whatsoever? I posted in a thread discussing best teams in the country and at the time, my choice was Indiana. You take this as me being some Hoosier fan and talking smack about Big 10 championships like I give a shit who wins that conference. Northwestern could win the Big 10 and I wouldn't give a damn.

And as for Temple being very good, I don't think so. Good? Yes. But very good? No. They beat an untested Syracuse team in a neutral arena. Good win sure, but they also lost at home to Canisius.

McLemore the best player in the country? :0002

Arizona had more days off before they played Colorado and you went on a tangent on how they are terrible.

I wouldn't care if Indiana lost every game from now until the end of time.

Oh, so you are just an asshole in general who likes to start arguments on the Internet. I guess I forgot that for a second.

what argument? are you referring to the thread where the guy posting asked everyone who they thought the best team in the country was? how dare I post an opinion!

or are you referring to this thread where I am simply pointing out that IMO Kansas is over rated and not the hot shit some people make them out to be. how dare I again post another opinion!

didnt you start an argument like a week ago saying how bad Arizona was etc. etc. etc.? or is it some sort of double standard, Mr Jedi Survivor?

He posted this just to take a shot at me. I should have been the bigger person, but I let him get to me. Good luck to you.

:shrug: get a grip. everything Kansas related doesnt have to involve you. incredibly, there ARE other people here who know their shit and capable of having a discussion. you are not the say all know all on everything and anything.

in the future it may be best to not read any threads I start if you cant restrain yourself.


anyway, to everyone ELSE....I think Kansas is going to have a quick tourney this year. they will not really face much cream of the crop talent in the weakening big 12 which IMO has taken a big drop overall as a conference.

:0002

really?

they lost to fucking TCU! TCU who prior to tonight the best team they have beaten this year was Southern. Yes, Southern. From the fucking SWAC. maybe you can go out on a limb and say Cal Poly. :mj07: :mj07:

TCU 0-8 in conference and easily handles Kansas.

hell, even Mississippi Valley St gave TCU a game @ TCU and only lost by 3. :mj07:
