All time wins status now that Pope is UK's HC

[Smashcat]

Inherited a slim lead.

I believe the lead is in good hands with Coach Pope.

Self is the King of regular season dominance. As long as he is at KU it's gonna be tough to stay ahead of them.

With some of the better teams leaving the Big 12 and with the SEC expansion it’s going to be easier for Kansas to get more regular season wins and it will be more difficult for Kentucky to expand the lead. Also, didn’t Kansas have to forfeit some wins a few years ago? And it’s just a 5 game lead now?

Self is due for an eventual decline over the next decade. Pope will outlast and extend.

Thanks to Calipari, North Carolina has gotten uncomfortably close to us as well.

KU is at a peak and Kentucky is in a revolution. I like our longterm prospect though.

When Cal took over as coach we were only 4 games ahead of UNC.

Wait a minute… you’re using facts to disprove an opinion. Is that allowed?

This doesn’t make sense how is it easier for Kansas to rack up wins when you add Arizona and Houston to the conference and even BYU has NIL money that is making them a legit wildcard.

Doesn't seem like they gained on us then.

Kansas on the other hand has been seemingly gaining for decades. I once looked up every coach Sutton to Cal and it hasn't been a great look for going on almost 40 years now.

Wrong. BYU has restrictions on players they can buy.

Why did you have to use facts to disprove an uneducated opinion lol?

Doesn’t help the ACC has tanked in quality lately too. It’s them Duke and occasionally UVA or another team that is good occasionally. Meanwhile SEC has gotten much better over the last 5 years.

That’s not a defense of Cal either. That’s just saying we don’t have a weak conference anymore.

 

[Deli owl]

We will lose it this year.

 

[kyboy1998]

I’ve said this before and will again.

Eventually Kansas will own that stat because they are more consistent than Kentucky or UNC. We have higher highs, and lower lows than they do.

I hope we don’t but Self is tough.

Agree - it was ut and ou that left the B12, not the good teams

The thing people don't like to really admit is if you remove a ten year stretch where we caught lightening in a bottle with Pitino and then Cal this program has not been close to the gold standard over the last 40 years.

Especially in the new conference alignments. The B12 is a glorified mid major now. It’s essentially conference USA rebranded w some old B12 holdovers. Go look at conference affiliation from 20 years ago to now.

Meanwhile, the traditional power brands have all came to the SEC or B10
