Kansas currently with 30 game home winning streak...do we have a shot?
- Thread starter KMKAT
- Start date
Isn't the record more like 6 and 6 in the modern era? Also, hasn't KU won the last three on our home courts (2 in AFH and 1 in Rupp)?
A kansas fan talking about the "modern era"!!!!

You're our all-time bitch, just like Little Brothel.
(The same fanbase that pleasures themselves to some dusty old-ass "rules"...
)
The record is 22-6, with the last match-up being a 32-point ass whipping and the last meaningful game resulting in a Kentucky national championship. All your 'Little Man Syndrome' excuses and conditional framing and rationalizations won't change anything. We're still Kentucky fans with eight national championships. You are still a Kansas fan with three championships and two embarrassing Helms Banners.
I guess we shouldn't count all 27 titles for the New York Yankees then? or KU's Helms titles lol?
With regards to the home/away court wins, KU has won the last 2. UK won at Rupp in 1990. We also won the most recent and important one of them all (2012) and 3 of the last 4 tourney games. See I can cherry pick games too.

We played at Kentucky (Rupp) in January 2005 and won 65-59. Going back to 1985, Kentucky is 6-5. With this year's game, it'll be 6-6.
The last three times Kentucky came to Kansas, Kansas won by 27, 55 and 17, respectively. This game will be closer, but I expect a KU win.We played at Kentucky (Rupp) in January 2005 and won 65-59. Going back to 1985, Kentucky is 6-5. With this year's game, it'll be 6-6.
Yeah you guys won in 2005 and 2006. Those are the last two home/away games I mentioned. You guys should win this next game and improve your record to 7-22

.No doubt. With a junior/senior filled team on their home court anything less than a win would be embarrassing.

I can't change history, but since I've watched basketball, which is relevant to me, the KU versus Kentucky margin is much closer than the actual overall record. Kind of like kids today who don't care who Michael Jordan is, it's what have you done for me lately. I think Kentucky is going to get better and better this year, but your biggest weakness is going to be shooting this year. Your biggest strength, like all of Calipari's teams, is defense.
I'd like to remind the KU people of one simple fact that sums up the UK/KU series perfectly:
If you lose the game Jan 30th, then every single coach in your school's history going back to Phog Allen will have a losing record against UK. Phog Allen, Dick Harp, Ted Owens, Larry Brown, Roy Williams, and Bill Self. All of them.

You're right, if you want to get more recent, in the Calipari era UK is 3-0 vs KU. I would say that is even more relevant. You guys have a great team. If KU wins, and I expect them to, I will give them their due credit on here. However I'm sure if by some miraculous reason UK won, our resident KU posters would be no where to be seen. The game means less to UK as half of our players weren't even here last year. KU returns basically their entire roster. Of course, if we won I'd be thrilled. Not gonna lie either.

I agree with you on defense but I think the biggest strength is the other thing that you mentioned; this team will get better and better. The question will be if they gel together as a team by Tournament time. If they do, they should be a #1 Seed. They have too much individual talent. If there is a Kansas/Kentucky rematch on a neutral court in April, that will be a dangerous game.
Hells bells fellas, since everyone is having a real good time matching up everything under the sun give this one a whirl.......Pre$ent contract total$ of each teams ex player$ playing in the NBA pre$ently?
Having fun yet?
Having fun yet?
So that means if you lose in The Phog in January, the coach that the BBN loves to hate, Bill Self, will have winning record against Cal?
Bringing out all the little brothel excuses...
"Since I've been watching which is all I care about."
Quit embarrassing your program and fanbase.

Okay, sure. That's why your Scout message board has a 21 page thread about the UK/KU game that started the middle of May and lasted through the middle of December.
I just think it's going to be very difficult to win there. Is it possible, I suppose it is but there is a lot working in KU's favor. Outside of the home court advantage/home cooking of being there, there biggest motivation is the "revenge" factors. Most of those players for KU were down right embarrassed at the hands of UK last season as we all know. The bulk of our team that thrashed them are making a check from the NBA now. KU's team this year reminds me of a micro version of our team last year. They are deep and talented (not with the NBA guys that we had) and are all just a bunch of solid players. Also think Self coaches the game on a recruiting front since he has been struggling lately!
So many pusses in this thread. Yeah it's Kansas, yeah it's gonna be tough, but we have Tyler Ulis leading us into battle and I expect to go in to Fog Allen and come out with a W. #WeAreUK
I refuse to give up on Cal and the Cats, even if they are not at their best right now. That is why they play the game instead of calling it a bust.
I see an advantage for KU mainly because they play at home, but we shall see how our team plays. If we win good for us, if we lose good for them. I can take the loss or the win, but refuse to pick the opponent.

Are you an NBA fan or a college fan, because that statistic won't put W's on Kentucky's all time record. Didn't know that you cared more about NBA success than your college team's success.
Of course the Cats have a chance to win this game. A very good chance. You can make an argument the 2 best players on the court will be wearing UK blue. Tyler Ulis and Jamal Murray. Briscoe matching up defensively with Ellis. Poythress can hold his own in this game. Lee will have his moments. It's going to depend on which team wins the battle inside. The guards will likely be a wash in this game.
Game might just come down to free throws. If that is the case then, yes, UK might be in trouble.

You can't argue that Ulis and Murray are the two best players in this game. Ulis has an argument, but Mason, Ellis and Selden are all better than Murray (and I'm not talking NBA potential, I'm talking actual college production).
You don't know me sonny. Speaking of aftermath of players. Simply put. I worry not for Uk records for they already most all exceed others.

If by "aftermath of players" you mean their NBA careers, who cares? I'm a college basketball fan. I don't care about the NBA, as NBA success doesn't put wins on my college teams ledger, nor does it put bodies in the seats at AFH.

How did you come to that conclusion? Jamal has a better ppg than those 3 Kansas players.
Look at their total lines and their percentages and Murray is clearly behind all three. Remember, KU has 7 players who can score in double figures any given night, Kentucky has 3.
Ain't your board. Don't care what you think bout Cat program or AFH seats. Don't be trite. Most care about their players after leaving given programs. Didn't like the initial questions answer then just ignore it. Geeesh
Who cares about percentages what matters is the bottom line and Murray has a higher scoring average. You're going to tell me those players are better college players than Ben Simmons just because Ben has more attempts? Not only that but you're comparing the production of a freshman vs juniors and 40 year old Perry Ellis.
Percentages are important in understanding the game. There are only a certain number of possessions a game, making the most of them is important.
Lol whatever makes you feel better. If anyone outside of Lawrence, KS prefers to have Frank Mason over Jamal Murray on their roster please point them out. Selden would be a push right now due to his hot shooting, I'll admit. Ellis doesn't even play the same position.
You didn't mention position, you said "the best two players in the game." You're changing the argument and I guarantee those who know the game would pick Mason over Murray.
I didn't say the two best players line. But now that you guarantee it, well that settles it then.
You KU fans are the worst. You guys must sit at home and spend hours culling through every possible statistic to find the ones that make you look the best. You and the UNCheat fans are just alike. Always pulling out the "modern era" crap.
You're a fan, I understand that. I'm not trying to convince you one way or another. I think you are wrong and I'm merely pointing out that the statistics this season show that you are wrong. Is Murray long term better than anyone on KU's roster, maybe... is he playing better this season than the players I mentioned? Nope. And the stats support that and so does our respective rankings tomorrow.
